(D) Buyer shall have completed its Future Funding Due Diligence, and its review of any documents, records, agreements, instruments, mortgaged properties or information relating to such Purchased Asset as Buyer in its sole discretion deems appropriate to review and such review shall be satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion and ▇▇▇▇▇ has consented in writing to the advance of funds (as evidenced by its execution of the related Future Funding Confirmation);

(E) Seller shall have paid to Buyer all reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel and the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the entering into of any Future Funding Transaction hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable costs associated with due diligence, recording or other administrative expenses necessary or incidental to the execution of any Future Funding Transaction hereunder (which fees, costs and expenses may be paid out of the Future Funding Amount funded

by ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the proposed Future Funding Transaction if netting of such fees is approved by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion);

(F) Buyer shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith, that no Margin Deficit equal to or greater than the Minimum Transfer Amount shall exist, either immediately prior to or immediately after giving effect to the requested Future Funding Transaction;

(G) Buyer shall have reasonably determined that no introduction of, or a change in, any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law applicable to Buyer has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into Transactions;

(H) Seller shall have taken any other action as Buyer shall have reasonably requested in order to perfect all security interests granted under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in favor of Buyer with respect to the funds to be advanced;

(I) Buyer shall have received all such other and further documents, documentation and legal opinions (including, without limitation, opinions regarding the perfection of Buyer’s security interests) as Buyer in its reasonable discretion shall reasonably require;

(J) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Seller, certifying that the related borrower has met all conditions required under the related Purchased Asset Documents to be entitled to the advance of the Future Funding Amount; and

(K) Buyer shall have determined that all conditions precedent to such advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been fully satisfied by the related Mortgagor (or waived by Seller and such waiver is agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion), and Seller shall have delivered to Buyer satisfactory certification by the related Mortgagor (or, if the Purchased Asset Documents do not require any such certification by the Mortgagor, by Seller) that all conditions to such advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied (or waived by Seller and such waiver is agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion).

(d) Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Articles 3(a) and (b), Seller shall sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer on a servicing released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller. To the extent any additional limited liability company is formed by Division of Seller (and without prejudice to Articles 10(b) and (f)), Seller shall cause any such Division LLC to sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer on a servicing released basis all of such Division LLC’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights in the same manner and to the same extent as the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment by Seller on the Closing Date of all of

Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on the Pricing Rate Determination Date for each of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Periods for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and notify Seller of such rate for such period each such Pricing Rate Determination Date.

(e) Each Confirmation and Future Funding Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction or Future Funding Transaction, as applicable, covered thereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation or Future Funding Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, such Confirmation or Future Funding Confirmation, as applicable, shall prevail.

(f) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction in whole, but not in part, on demand and repurchase the related Purchased Asset subject to such Transaction on any Business Day prior to the related Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) Seller notifies Buyer in writing (which may be by e-mail) of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Asset, setting forth the Early Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the Purchased Asset to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date, no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to such Early Repurchase Date; provided, that to the extent such repurchase relates to a prepayment (in whole or in part) of a Purchased Asset by the related Mortgagor, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Buyer no later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to such Early Repurchase Date, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date,

(ii) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets, (y) in the case of an Early Repurchase Date as set forth in subclause (i) above, any Exit Fee due and payable in connection therewith pursuant to the Fee Letter, and (z) any other amounts payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(j) of this Agreement) with respect to the Purchased Assets against transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets and any related hedging transactions, and

(iii) on such Early Repurchase Date, in addition to the amounts set forth in clause (ii) above, Seller pays to Buyer an amount sufficient to reduce the Purchase Price for all other Purchased Assets to an amount equal to Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Purchased Assets to the extent any Margin Deficit is then outstanding and due and payable with respect to any Purchased Asset pursuant to Article 4 hereof.

(g) On the Repurchase Date or Early Repurchase Date, as applicable, for any Transaction, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets being repurchased and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer

(and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the case of any Purchased Asset that has a Related Mezzanine Loan, (i) Seller shall not repurchase any such Purchased Asset without simultaneously repurchasing the Related Mezzanine Loan, and (ii) if such Purchased Asset is required to be repurchased by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall also simultaneously repurchase the Related Mezzanine Loan.

(h) If prior to the first day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, Buyer shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market (other than a Benchmark Transition Event as determined by clause (3) of the definition thereof), adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the then-current Benchmark for such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Alternate Rate.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy or in the interpretation of any such Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy, the application thereof or the compliance therewith, in each case whether by a Governmental Authority, by Buyer or by any corporation controlling Buyer, shall make it unlawful for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions or Future Funding Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the agreement of Buyer hereunder to consider entering into new Transactions or Future Funding Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) if such adoption or change makes it unlawful to maintain Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on Term SOFR, or an Alternate Rate Index (as determined by clause (3) of the definition thereof), as applicable, the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternate Rate Transactions on the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day that is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Article 3(m) of this Agreement.

(j) Upon written demand by ▇▇▇▇▇, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller repurchasing any Purchased Asset after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(f) of an Early Repurchase, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date, including Breakage Costs, (iii) a default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed in writing to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Buyer’s enforcement of the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Documents, and/or (vi) Buyer entering into any of the Transaction Documents or

owning any Purchased Item. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller in writing and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein.

(k) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy or in the interpretation of any such Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy, the application thereof or the compliance therewith, or the compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer, in each case whether by a Governmental Authority, by Buyer or by any corporation controlling Buyer:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligation, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer that is not otherwise included in the determination of Term SOFR or an Alternate Rate Index hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or Future Funding Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect of any of the foregoing; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Article 3(k) shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets for a period of twelve (12) months from the date Buyer makes a final determination that such amounts are applicable.

(l) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy made subsequent to the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or otherwise affecting the Buyer Funding Costs, or in the interpretation of any such Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy, the application thereof or the compliance therewith, in each case whether by a Governmental Authority, by Buyer or by any corporation controlling Buyer (including, without limitation, any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or otherwise affecting the Buyer Funding Costs (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or any Buyer Compliance Policy related to such request or directive), does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of any one or more of the Transactions or Future Funding

Transactions or otherwise as a consequence of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved, but for such adoption, change, interpretation, application or compliance, by an amount that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then, from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will reimburse Buyer for the actual damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with each such reduction. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(m) Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer and to hold Buyer harmless from any loss or expense which Buyer sustains or incurs as a direct consequence of (i) any default by Seller in payment of the principal of or interest on a SOFR Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction hereunder, (ii) any prepayment or repurchase (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the SOFR Rate Transaction or Alternate Rate Transaction, as applicable, on a day that (A) is not a Remittance Date and/or is not the last day of the Pricing Rate Period or (B) is a Remittance Date if Seller did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment or repurchase required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the SOFR Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of a SOFR Rate Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction on a date other than the Remittance Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a SOFR Rate Transaction hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”) in each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error. This Article 3(m) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

(n) (i) Notwithstanding the definition of Maturity Date herein, Seller may request two (2) extensions of the Maturity Date for up to one year each upon written request to Buyer prior to the then-current Maturity Date. Provided that Buyer has reasonably determined, in each case, that all of the extension conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Maturity Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, the Maturity Date shall be extended for up to one (1) year (such period, an “Extension Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3(n)(i) hereof, in no event shall the Maturity Date be extended for more than two (2) consecutive Extension Periods and in no event shall the Maturity Date be after the Final Maturity Date.

(ii) For purposes of this Article 3(n), the Maturity Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied if:

(A) Buyer shall have received payment from Seller, of the Extension Fee as consideration for Buyer’s agreement to extend the then-current Maturity Date, such amount to be paid to Buyer in U.S. dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim;

(B) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than forty-five (45) days prior, and no more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date, of Seller’s desire to extend the Maturity Date;

(C) no Material Adverse Effect, Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date notice is given under subclause (B) above or as of the originally scheduled Maturity Date;

(D) all representations and warranties (other than as specifically disclosed in writing in any Requested Exceptions Report approved by ▇▇▇▇▇) shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects as of the existing Maturity Date;

(E) on the originally scheduled Maturity Date, Seller pays to Buyer, on account of each Purchased Asset, an amount sufficient to reduce the Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset to the Buyer’s Margin Amount; and

(F) to the extent Seller qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, an updated Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to Seller.

(o) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Requirements of Law. If any Requirement of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Requirement of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 3) the applicable Buyer or Transferee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(p) Without duplication of other amounts payable under this Article 3, Seller shall timely pay (i) any Other Taxes imposed on Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority in

accordance with Requirements of Law, and (ii) any Other Taxes imposed on the Buyer or Transferee upon written notice from such Person.

(q) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to Article 3(o), Article 3(p) or Article 3(r), Seller shall deliver to Buyer or Transferee, as applicable, 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 or Transferee, as applicable.

(r) Seller shall indemnify Buyer and each Transferee, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Article 3(o) or Article 3(p)) payable or paid by Buyer or such Transferee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer or such Transferee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(s) (i) Any Buyer or any Transferee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to Seller, 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 or Transferee, 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 or Transferee 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 Articles 3(s)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer or Transferee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer or such Transferee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer or such Transferee.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) Buyer or any Transferee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer or such Transferee acquires an interest under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer and such Transferee is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-1 to the effect that such Foreign 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-2 or Exhibit XI-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies 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 or Transferee under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer or Transferee 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 or such Transferee 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 or Transferee has complied with Buyer or Transferee’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 and each Transferee agrees that if any form or certification described in items (A), (B), (C) or (D) above it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification, provide such successor form or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(t) 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 Article 3(o), Article 3(p) or Article 3(r), (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Article 3(o), Article 3(p) or Article 3(r)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Article 3(o), Article 3(p) or Article 3(r)) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 3(t) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3(t), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 3(t) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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.

(u) Each party’s obligations under Article 3(o) through Article 3(u) shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or Assignee, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement. Seller shall not be required to compensate Buyer pursuant to Article 3(o) through Article 3(u) for any Taxes or related costs incurred and charged from more than eighteen (18) months prior to the date Buyer notifies Seller of such Taxes or related costs, and of Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to such Taxes or related costs is retroactive, then the eighteen (18)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(v) If any Buyer or Assignee requests compensation under Article 3 or, if Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer or any Assignee or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer or Assignee pursuant to Article 3(k), or if any Buyer or Assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Buyer or Assignee, require such Buyer or Assignee to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article 17), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Articles 3(k) or (i)) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Buyer, if a Buyer accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for all Transactions, Price Differential accreted with respect thereto, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Repurchase Price principal and accreted Price Differential and fees) or Seller (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Article 3(k) or payments required to be made pursuant to Article 3(p), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iii) such assignment or delegation would not subject such Buyer or Assignee to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Buyer or Assignee. A Buyer or Assignee shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or Assignee or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(w) If at any time prior to the Maturity Date, a non-use fee or other similar charge is assessed against Buyer internally against the related cost center of the Buyer in connection with any proposed Requirement of Law by any Governmental Authority or internal policy, Seller shall, monthly on demand from Buyer, reimburse Buyer for the exact amount of each such fee, as and when originally assessed, with each such assessment and payment to be in addition to the monthly Price Differential payments otherwise due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement; provided that (i) Buyer shall give Seller at least sixty (60) day’s prior written notice of any imposition of such non-use fee or similar charge and (ii) Buyer shall make any such determination pursuant to this Article 3(w) using the same methodology that Buyer applies in making such determination in similar agreements with all similarly situated counterparties, but Buyer may elect to apply or not apply such rights and remedies to Buyer’s counterparties in Buyer’s sole discretion, provided further that if Buyer elects to impose any such non-use fee or similar charge, Seller may elect, by written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇, delivered within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such notice, to either (A) to permanently reduce the Maximum Facility Amount (in Seller’s sole discretion as to the amount of such reduction) or (B) to terminate this Agreement and repurchase all outstanding Purchased Assets.

(x) Buyer shall determine daily in Buyer’s sole discretion whether a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Buyer shall determine the Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof. Following the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the determination of the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause Repo Servicer to, promptly give notice of the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and the date of the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date by electronic mail to Seller. Subject in all cases to

Article 3(aa), each Transaction shall be converted, from and after the Benchmark Replacement Date, to an Alternate Rate Transaction bearing interest based on the Alternate Rate Index.

(y) The Alternate Rate will be determined conclusively by Buyer or its agent and such determination will be binding on Seller absent manifest error. In connection with the implementation of an Alternate Rate Index, Buyer shall have the right to make Alternate Rate Index Conforming Changes from time to time in good faith and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Documents, any amendments implementing such Alternate Rate Index Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent of Seller.

(z) Notwithstanding Article 3(x) with respect to each SOFR Rate Transaction, such Transactions shall be converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction as of the first day of the applicable Pricing Rate Period (unless otherwise specified below) without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document upon the occurrence of any of the following (each such date a “Rate Conversion Date” and each such Transaction a “Converted Transaction”):

(i) a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Pricing Rate Determination Date for such Pricing Rate Period; or

(ii) if Buyer specifies in an amended and restated Confirmation that such Purchased Asset, which was previously a SOFR Rate Transaction, is an “Alternate Rate Transaction”.

(aa) Price Differential on Transactions denominated in U.S. dollars or any other currency permitted hereunder (if any) may be determined by reference to a benchmark rate that is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform or cessation. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative reference rates for some of these benchmark rates and, as a result, such benchmark rates may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued or the basis on which they are calculated may change. Buyer does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate, the rates in any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Alternate Rate), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Alternate Rate) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Alternate Rate Index Conforming Changes. Buyer and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Alternate Rate) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to Seller. Buyer may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(a) If at any time on any date the Buyer’s Margin Amount for any Purchased Asset is less than the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice delivered to Seller on any Business Day in the form of Exhibit X (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) require Seller to, at Seller’s option, no later than the Margin Deadline, to the extent such Margin Deficit equals or exceeds the Minimum Transfer Amount (taking into account all Margin Deficits in the aggregate for such date), (i) repurchase such Purchased Asset at its respective Repurchase Price, (ii) make a payment in reduction of the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset, or in lieu of a payment in reduction such Purchase Price, deliver Cash Equivalents, subject to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction as additional posted collateral, (iii) apply available Margin Excess pursuant to the requirements of Article 4(c) below, or (iv) choose any combination of the foregoing, such that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases, payments and/or applications of Margin Excess, Buyer’s Margin Amount for each Purchased Asset, considered individually, shall be equal to or greater than the related Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Asset. In connection with the delivery of Cash Equivalents in accordance with clause (ii) above, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any additional documents (including, without limitation, to the extent not covered by any previously delivered legal opinions, one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) and take any actions reasonably necessary in Buyer’s discretion for Buyer to have a first priority, perfected security interest in such Cash Equivalents. Following any such event, Buyer and Seller may amend the related Confirmation relating to any Purchased Asset with respect to which the related Purchase Price has been reduced pursuant to this Article 4(a), as well as that of any related Purchased Asset where the Purchase Price has been increased due to Margin Excess pursuant to Article 4(c).

(b) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(c) If Buyer issues a Margin Deficit Notice pursuant to Article 4(a) above and if Margin Excess exists with respect to any other Purchased Asset based upon Buyer’s determination of the Market Value of any other Purchased Asset in Buyer’s sole discretion exercised in good faith, then, provided that each of the Margin Excess Requirements have been met as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion, Buyer shall, in response to Seller’s written request following Buyer’s delivery of a Margin Deficit Notice to Seller, apply such Margin Excess to all or a portion of the related Margin Deficit, and, solely to the extent so applied, the amount of such Margin Deficit shall be reduced by the application of such Margin Excess; provided that no request by Seller to apply Margin Excess to any Margin Deficit shall in any way relieve Seller of its obligations under this Agreement to cause any remaining Margin Deficit after application of such Margin Excess to be cured by the Margin Deadline. In determining whether Margin Excess exists in respect of any Purchased Asset, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be required to, include any increase in Market Value attributable to

above par recoveries in excess of such percentage in respect of such Purchased Asset that is not subject to a Margin Deficit.

ARTICLE 5.
INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PROCEEDS

(a) The Depository Account shall be established at the Depository on the Closing Date and shall be subject to the Depository Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall have sole dominion and control (including “control” within the meaning of the UCC as defined in Article 6(b) below) over the Depository Account. The Depository Account shall, at all times, be subject to the Depository Agreement. Seller shall cause all Income or other amounts due and payable to Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income or other amounts, to be deposited, (i) in regards to Income other than Principal Proceeds, directly by the applicable Mortgagor into the related Primary Servicing Account (for further remittance by Primary Servicer into the Depository Account pursuant to the Servicer Notice), (ii) in regards to all Principal Proceeds, directly by the applicable Mortgagor into the related Primary Servicing Account (for further remittance by Primary Servicer into the Depository Account pursuant to the Servicer Notice), or, if mutually agreed by Seller and Buyer, directly by the applicable Mortgagor into the Depository Account, and Depository shall then apply such Income in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(c) through 5(e) of this Agreement.

(b) Contemporaneously with the sale to Buyer of any Purchased Asset serviced by Repo Servicer, Seller shall deliver to each Mortgagor, servicer and/or paying agent and/or similar Person with respect to each Purchased Asset or borrower under a Purchased Asset an irrevocable direction letter in the form of Exhibit XVII (the “Re-direction Letter”), instructing, as applicable, such Mortgagor, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to such Purchased Asset (as applicable) to pay all amounts payable to Seller under the related Purchased Asset into the Depository Account related to Seller. Contemporaneously with the sale to Buyer of any Purchased Asset serviced by a Primary Servicer, Seller shall deliver to the Custodian a Re-direction Letter, undated, and signed in blank by Seller, instructing, as applicable, each Mortgagor, Primary Servicer, other servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to such Purchased Asset (as applicable) to pay all amounts payable to Seller under the related Purchased Asset directly into the Depository Account instead of into the Primary Servicing Account or any other account or to any other Person. If a Mortgagor, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower forwards any Income or other amounts with respect to a Purchased Asset to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller rather than directly into the Primary Servicing Account or Depository Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of Article 5(a), Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, (i) deliver an additional Re-direction Letter for such Purchased Asset to the applicable Mortgagor, Primary Servicer, other servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the Purchased Asset and make other best efforts to cause such Mortgagor, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower to forward such amounts directly to the Primary Servicing Account or Depository Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of Article 5(a), and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited

in the Depository Account any such amounts within one (1) Business Day of Seller’s (or its Affiliate’s) receipt thereof.

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income or other amounts received by the Depository in respect of any Purchased Asset (other than Principal Proceeds) during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, (i) to the Custodian for payment of the document custodian fees payable to Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, then (ii) to the Depository for payment of fees payable to the Depository in connection with the Depository Account and then (iii) to the Repo Servicer for payment of the loan servicing fees payable monthly to the Repo Servicer plus the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in each case, as required under the Repo Servicing Agreement as in effect from time to time;

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding as of such Remittance Date;

(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document (including any outstanding Margin Deficits due and payable in accordance with Article 4); and

(iv) fourth, to Seller, the remainder, if any; provided that, if any Default that has occurred and is continuing on such Remittance Date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Depository Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to the Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole good faith discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority fourth; and (y) the day that the related Default becomes an Event of Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Article 5(e).

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Principal Proceeds received by the Depository in respect of any Purchased Asset during each Collection Period (x) in respect of (A) any scheduled or unscheduled repayment or repurchase in full of a Purchased Asset or (B) any scheduled or unscheduled repayment in part of a Purchased Asset, shall, in each case, be remitted by the Depository on the next Business Day following receipt in the Depository Account of such Principal Proceeds in accordance with the priorities set forth below and (y) in respect of any other Principal Proceeds not described in clause (x) of this Article 5(d), shall be remitted by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in accordance with the priorities set forth below:

(i) first, to Buyer, an amount equal to (1) in the case of any repayment in part, but not in full, of a Purchased Asset that is not made in connection with any release of any of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or other collateral related to the related Purchased Asset, the product of (x) the amount of Principal Proceeds received with respect to such Purchased Asset and (y) the Advance Rate for such Purchased Asset and

(2) in all other cases, unless otherwise expressly specified in the related Confirmation, 100% of such Principal Proceeds until the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset is reduced to zero;

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document (including any outstanding Margin Deficits due and payable in accordance with Article 4); and

(iii) third, to Seller, any remainder; provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing on such Remittance Date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Depository Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to the Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole good faith discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority third; and (y) the day that the related Default becomes an Event of Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Article 5(e).

(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Proceeds or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) or any other amounts received by the Depository in respect of a Purchased Asset shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Depository Account in the following order of priority:

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Assets as of such Business Day;

(iii) third, to Buyer, on account of the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset until the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero;

(iv) fourth, to Buyer, on account of the Repurchase Price of all other Purchased Assets until the Repurchase Price for all such other Purchased Assets has been reduced to zero;

(v) fifth, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(vi) sixth, to the Seller, any remainder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing Article 5(e) to the contrary, prior to the application of funds pursuant to such Article 5(e), and so long as any of Seller’s direct or indirect owners is intended to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code (a “REIT”), including, without limitation, BrightSpire Capital, Inc., Seller shall be permitted to make distributions not to exceed its pro rata share of the minimum aggregate amount reasonably necessary to ensure that such owner is able to maintain its status as a REIT; provided that, such distribution shall only be with respect to BrightSpire Capital, Inc.’s related interest in the Seller and shall not be used to cover any distributions otherwise owing from other Subsidiaries of BrightSpire Capital, Inc.

ARTICLE 6.
SECURITY INTEREST

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets by Seller and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve ▇▇▇▇▇’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Asset by Seller is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items (as defined below) to Buyer to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which Seller is a party and all other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents, including any obligations of Seller under any hedging transaction and to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service the Purchased Assets in conformity with Article 27 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Purchased Asset and hedging transaction serves as collateral for the Buyer under this Agreement for Seller’s Repurchase Obligations and that Buyer has the right, in accordance with Article 12(b) hereunder, to realize on any or all of the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller in order to satisfy Seller’s obligations hereunder. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder. All of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”:

(i) the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller and all “securities accounts” (as defined in Article 8-501(a) of the UCC) to which any or all of such Purchased Assets are credited;

(ii) any and all interests of Seller in, to and under the Depository Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Depository Account;

(iii) any cash or Cash Equivalents delivered by Seller to Buyer in accordance with Article 4(a);

(iv) the Purchased Asset Documents, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, all servicing fees relating to the Purchased Assets, insurance policies relating to the Purchased Assets, and collection and escrow accounts and letters of credit relating to the Purchased Assets, in each case relating to Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller;

(v) Seller’s right under each hedging transaction, if any, relating to the Purchased Assets to secure the Repurchase Obligations;

(vi) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “investment property”, “instruments”, “securities accounts” and “deposit accounts”, each as defined in the UCC, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

(vii) any other items, amounts, rights or properties transferred or pledged by Seller to Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents; and

(viii) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the foregoing.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇’s security interest in the Purchased Items shall terminate only upon the termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all hedging transactions and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. Upon such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the applicable Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the applicable Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in such Purchased Items. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon the filing thereof, and (ii) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder). For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇’s security interest in any particular Purchased Asset or Purchased Item shall not terminate until Seller has fully paid the related Repurchase Price. In connection with the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, Seller authorizes the filing of UCC financing statements describing the collateral as “all assets of Debtor, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or other similar language to that effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller grants a Lien on any Purchased Asset in violation hereof or any other Transaction Document, Seller shall be deemed to have simultaneously granted an equal and ratable Lien on such Purchased Asset in favor of Buyer to the extent such Lien has not already been granted to Buyer; provided, that such equal and ratable

Lien shall not cure any resulting Event of Default. Seller shall not take any action to cause any Purchased Asset that is not evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper (as defined in the UCC) to be so evidenced. If a Purchased Asset becomes evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper, the same shall be promptly delivered to Custodian on behalf of Buyer, together with endorsements required by Buyer.

(c) Seller acknowledges that neither it nor Guarantor has any right to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights as a party to the Primary Servicing Agreement, the Repo Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller or Guarantor is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, each of Seller and Guarantor grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created, to secure payment of Seller’s Repurchase Obligations. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE 7.
PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, (i) ownership of and title to the Purchased Asset shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian or any Acceptable Attorney in accordance with the terms of a Bailee Letter) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction, (ii) in connection with the purchase by Buyer of any Purchased Asset relating to a Related Mezzanine Loan, Seller shall also convey, transfer and assign to Buyer, for no additional consideration from Buyer, each such Related Mezzanine Loan in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, together with all other documents necessary or desirable to effect such collateral assignment, in each case as determined by Buyer and its counsel in their discretion, and (iii) Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing-released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price of each Related Mezzanine Loan shall be zero. Subject to this Agreement, Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Buyer has the right to designate each servicer of the Purchased Assets; the Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this Agreement; and, such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents.

(b) (i) With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee the Custodial Delivery Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit IV, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of Seller, Buyer in its sole

discretion exercised in good faith may elect to permit Seller to make such delivery by not later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the related Purchase Date, so long as Seller causes an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer to deliver to Buyer and the Custodian a Bailee Letter on or prior to such Purchase Date. Subject to Article 7(c), in connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Asset, on or prior to each Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to the Custodian a copy or original of each document as specified in the Purchased Asset File (as defined in the Custodial Agreement, and collectively, the “Purchased Asset File”), pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered therewith, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by ▇▇▇▇▇, in Buyer’s sole discretion exercised in good faith.

(ii) With respect to each Future Funding Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee an updated Custodial Delivery Certificate that includes any additional documents delivered and/or executed in connection with any such Future Funding Transaction, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of Seller, Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith may elect to permit Seller to make such delivery by not later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the Future Funding Date, so long as Seller causes an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer to deliver to Buyer and the Custodian a Bailee Letter on or prior to such date. Subject to Article 7(c), on or prior to that date of a Future Funding Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to the Custodian a copy or original of each additional document delivered and/or executed in connection with each such Future Funding Transaction, as specified in the Purchased Asset File, pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered therewith, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by ▇▇▇▇▇, in ▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion exercised in good faith.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation in connection with a Future Funding Transaction), and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents as Buyer shall request from time to time. With respect to any documents that have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true copy thereof with an officer’s certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are received. With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit V attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its attorney-in-fact with full power to (i) complete the endorsements of the Purchased Assets, including without limitation the Mortgage Notes and assignments of Mortgages, Mezzanine Notes, Participation Certificates and assignments of participation interests and any transfer documents related thereto, (ii) record the assignments of Mortgages, (iii) prepare and file and record each assignment of mortgage, (iv)

take any action (including exercising voting and/or consent rights) with respect to Participation Interests, Mezzanine Loans, or intercreditor or participation agreements, (v) complete the preparation and filing, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, of such financing statements, continuation statements, and other UCC forms, as Buyer may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, (vi) enforce Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (vii) [reserved], and (viii) to take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against, under or with respect to such Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records. Buyer shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Buyer or its designee. The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller or as otherwise required by law.

(d) Subject to clause (f) below, Buyer hereby grants to Seller a revocable option to direct Buyer with respect to the exercise of all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller and to vote, take corporate actions and exercise any rights in connection with such Purchased Assets, so long as no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default, or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such revocable option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of Seller in any Purchased Asset. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or an Event of Default or (ii) the occurrence of any Material Modification without the prior written consent of Buyer, the revocable option discussed above shall be deemed to automatically terminate and Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets without regard to Seller’s instructions (including, but not limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Seller, to the extent Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any servicer, Buyer may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity satisfactory to Buyer).

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7(b) above requiring the execution of the Custodial Delivery Certificate and corresponding delivery of the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian on or prior to the related Purchase Date, with respect to each Transaction involving a Purchased Asset that is identified in the related Confirmation as a “Table Funded” Transaction, Seller shall, in lieu of effectuating the delivery of all or a portion of the Purchased Asset File on or prior to the related Purchase Date, (i) deliver to the Custodian by facsimile or email on or

before the related Purchase Date for the Transaction (A) the promissory note(s), original stock certificate or Participation Certificate in favor of Seller evidencing the making of the Purchased Asset, with Seller’s endorsement of such instrument to Buyer or in blank, (B) the mortgage, security agreement or similar item creating the security interest in the related collateral and the applicable assignment document evidencing the transfer to Buyer, (C) such other components of the Purchased Asset File as Buyer may require on a case by case basis with respect to the particular Transaction, and (D) evidence satisfactory to Buyer that all documents necessary to perfect Seller’s (and, by means of assignment to Buyer or in blank on the Purchase Date, Buyer’s or its designees) interest in the Purchased Items for the Purchased Asset, (ii) deliver to Buyer and Custodian a Bailee Letter from an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer on or prior to such Purchase Date and (iii) not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Purchase Date, deliver to Buyer the Custodial Delivery Certificate and to the Custodian the entire Purchased Asset File.

(f) Notwithstanding the rights granted to Seller pursuant to clause (d) above, Seller shall not, and shall not permit Repo Servicer, Primary Servicer or any other servicer of any Purchased Asset to, extend, amend, waive, terminate, rescind, cancel, release or otherwise modify the material terms of or any collateral, guaranty or indemnity for, or exercise any material right or remedy of a holder (including all material lending, corporate and voting rights, remedies, consents, approvals and waivers) of, any Purchased Asset, Purchased Asset Document (other than as expressly contemplated or required by the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents and for which no lender consent is required, which, shall not constitute Material Modifications) or Underlying Mortgage Loan, or consent to any material amendments, modifications, waivers, releases, sales, transfers, dispositions or other resolutions relating to any Purchased Asset, Purchased Asset Document or Underlying Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, the following actions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) below (collectively, “Material Modifications”), without the prior written consent of Buyer (provided, however, that if the express terms of the Purchased Asset Documents subject Seller to a required standard of discretion in exercising its rights to approve or deny a Material Modification then Buyer shall apply the same standard of discretion in approving or denying such Material Modification):

(i) any forbearance, extension or other loan modification with respect to any Purchased Asset;

(ii) the release, discharge or reduction of any: (A) lien on any Underlying Mortgaged Property or (B) lien or claim on any material letters of credit and other material non-cash collateral that is required to be maintained pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents, if any;

(iii) the extension of credit (including increasing the terms of any existing credit) to any Person with respect to any Purchased Asset;

(iv) any sale or other disposition of any Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgaged Property or any other material property or collateral related thereto;

(v) the acceptance of any discounted payoff with respect to a Purchased Asset from the related Mortgagor (other than, with respect to certain specified Purchased Assets, any Approved Discounted Payoff); and

(vi) the incurrence of any lien or other encumbrance other than as expressly created hereunder or under any other Transaction Document;

provided that, upon written notice to Buyer, Seller shall be permitted to effect any of the following actions with respect to a Purchased Asset Document upon prior written notice to Buyer and subject to Buyer’s good faith determination that such proposed actions are consistent with the following: (a) to the extent that the relevant action relates to the amendment or correction of a manifest or typographical error or is purely administrative in nature; (b) any action that is mandatory pursuant to Requirement of Law; or (c) any action that Seller is required to take pursuant to the express terms of the Purchased Asset Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments and modifications of a purely administrative and ministerial nature are specifically excluded from the scope of the definition of Material Modifications and the foregoing restrictions in this Article 7(f); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, if Seller enters into an amendment to, or modification in any way of, any of the Purchased Asset Documents or any rights of a Mortgagor or sponsor thereunder (whether or not Seller has deemed such amendment to be material), then promptly following the effectiveness of such amendment, Seller shall deliver a copy thereof to Buyer.

ARTICLE 8.
SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to all Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Items, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to Article 17, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Items or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Items on terms and conditions that shall be in Buyer’s discretion, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

ARTICLE 9.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated

On the Purchase Date for any Transaction for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by ▇▇▇▇▇ from Seller and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

(b) In addition to the representations and warranties in Article 9(a) above, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement and will be deemed to represent and warrant to Buyer as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and any Transaction thereunder and covenants that at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, unless otherwise stated herein:

(i) Organization. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of Seller’s incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Seller’s business, except where failure to so qualify could not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has the power to own and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, and to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, and has the power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(ii) Due Execution; Enforceability. The Transaction Documents have been or will be duly executed and delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, for good and valuable consideration. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles.

(iii) Ability to Perform. Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in the Transaction Documents applicable to it to which it is a party.

(iv) Non-Contravention; No Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, nor consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated

by the Transaction Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Transaction Documents (or any of them) will contravene, conflict with or result in (A) the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the property or assets of Seller pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be bound, or to which Seller may be subject, other than liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents or (B) a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (1) the organizational documents of Seller, (2) any contractual obligation to which Seller is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to Seller or the obligations under which have been assumed by Seller or to which the assets of Seller are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (3) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Seller, (4) any Purchased Asset Document taken as a whole, or (5) any applicable Requirement of Law, in each case, to the extent that such conflict or breach would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any third party is required in connection with the execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby which has not already been obtained (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made, as applicable, or that, if not obtained or made, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect).

(v) Litigation; Requirements of Law. As of the date hereof and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction hereunder, except as disclosed in writing to Buyer on or before the date hereof or the Purchase Date for any Transaction and from time to time, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of Seller, threatened in writing against Seller or any of its assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or threatened against Seller that may result in any Material Adverse Effect. Seller and Guarantor are each in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, and no Purchased Asset contravenes any Requirements of Law. Seller is not in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

(vi) No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person (other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents.

(vii) Good Title to Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), and Seller is the record and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Assets to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets to Buyer, Buyer shall be the owner of

such Purchased Assets free of any adverse claim, in each case, except for Liens that were released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder. In the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Buyer a valid security interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets and Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets (and without limitation on the foregoing, Buyer, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the Purchased Assets).

(viii) No Decline in Market Value; No Margin Deficit; No Defaults Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, (a) Seller has no Actual Knowledge of any post-Transaction facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause or have caused the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to decline in any material respect, (b) Seller has no Actual Knowledge of any fact that could reasonably lead it to expect that any Purchased Asset will not be paid in full, and (c) Seller has no Actual Knowledge that any Margin Deficit exists and that no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under or with respect to the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing, no default or event of default (however defined) on the part of Guarantor exists under any credit facility, repurchase facility or substantially similar facility that is presently in effect, to which Guarantor is a party and which default or event of default has or will result in the acceleration of indebtedness for which Guarantor has recourse liability in excess of $25,000,000.

(x) Representations and Warranties Regarding Purchased Assets; Delivery of Purchased Asset File.

(A) As of the date hereof, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Asset to any other Person, and immediately prior to the sale of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller was the sole owner of such Purchased Asset and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all liens, in each case except for (1) liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder and (2) liens granted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in favor of the counterparty to any hedging transaction, solely to the extent such liens are expressly subordinate to the rights and interests of Buyer hereunder.

(B) The provisions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation are effective to either constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Buyer or to create in favor of Buyer a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items.

(C) Upon receipt by the Custodian of each Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note, or Participation Certificate, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer

of Seller, either a purchase shall have been completed by Buyer of such Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note or Participation Certificate, as applicable, or Buyer shall have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in the Purchased Items described therein.

(D) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured Party”, Seller as “Debtor” and describing the Purchased Items, in the jurisdiction and recording or filing office listed on Exhibit XII attached hereto, the security interests granted hereunder in that portion of the Purchased Items which can be perfected by filing under the UCC will constitute fully perfected security interests under the UCC in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items.

Except to the extent specifically disclosed in writing in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by ▇▇▇▇▇, Seller or its designee is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Asset File with respect to each Purchased Asset, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian.

(G) Each representation and warranty of Seller set forth in the Transaction Documents applicable to the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Asset Documents with respect to each Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, each of the representations and warranties made in respect of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Exhibit VI, is true, complete and correct, except to the extent disclosed in writing in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by Buyer. The review and inquiries made on behalf of Seller in connection with the next preceding sentence have been made by Persons having the requisite expertise, knowledge and background to verify such representations and warranties. Seller has complied with all requirements of the Custodial Agreement with respect to each Purchased Asset, including delivery to Custodian of all required Purchased Asset Documents.

(H) With respect to each Purchased Asset purchased by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller from a Transferor, (a) such Purchased Asset was acquired and transferred pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, (b) other than as disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the Purchase Date, such Transferor received reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer of such Purchased Asset, (c) no such transfer was made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such

Transferor to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, (d) no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code and (e) if Seller acquired the Purchased Asset from an Affiliate, if requested by Buyer, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer on or before the related Purchase Date an opinion of counsel regarding the true sale of the purchase of such Asset by Seller and, if such Asset was acquired by Seller’s Affiliate from another Affiliate, the true sale of the purchase of the Asset by the Affiliate of Seller from the Transferor Affiliate, which opinions shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and (f) the representations and warranties made by such Transferor to Seller or such Affiliate in such Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis and are hereby remade by Seller to Buyer on each date as of which they speak in such Purchase Agreement.

(I) The Purchased Assets constitute the following, as defined in the UCC: a general intangible, instrument, investment property, security, deposit account, financial asset, uncertificated security, securities account, or security entitlement. Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements filed against Seller as debtor that include the Purchased Assets, other than any financing statement that has been terminated or filed pursuant to this Agreement.

(xi) Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (A) the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction Document to which Seller is or will be a party, (B) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Transaction Document against Seller or (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made, as applicable, or the filing of certain financing statements in respect of certain security interests).

(xv) Taxes. Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each of Seller and Guarantor has timely filed or caused to be filed all required federal and other material tax returns and has paid all U.S. federal and other material Taxes imposed on it and any of its assets by any Governmental Authority except for any such Taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or to the extent that any such nonpayment could not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Tax liens have been filed against any of Seller’s assets and, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, no claims are being asserted in writing with respect to any such Taxes (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or claims with respect to Taxes or liens that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP).

(xvi) Judgments/Bankruptcy. Except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, there are no judgments against Seller unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court located in the United States of America and no Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller.

(xvii) Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as of such Purchase Date, adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. Seller has not become, or is not presently, financially insolvent nor will Seller be made insolvent by virtue of Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the Insolvency Laws of any jurisdiction. Seller has not entered into any Transaction Document or any Transaction pursuant thereto in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing.

(xviii) Solvency. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction or Future Funding Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller, Guarantor or an Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(xix) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by Seller for purposes permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part of the proceeds of any Transaction shall be used by Seller to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the entering into of any Transaction nor the use of any proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, any provision of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(xx) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the totality of the circumstances under which they were made. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer in connection with the Transaction Documents and the Transactions shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections shall be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

(xxi) Financial Information. All financial data concerning Seller and the Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer is true, complete and correct in all material respects when taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances under which the same has been delivered (provided that if such financial data is unaffiliated third party information with respect to a Purchased Asset and Seller did not have Knowledge that such financial data was untrue or incomplete in all material respects when taken as a whole and in light of the circumstances under which the same has been delivered, Seller’s failure to meet this representation may result in ▇▇▇▇▇’s election to require that Seller repurchase such Purchased Asset in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 3(f) and the breach of this representation shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Default). All financial data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly in accordance with GAAP. All financial data concerning the Purchased Assets has been prepared in accordance with standard industry practices (provided that if such financial data is unaffiliated third party information with respect to a Purchased Asset and Seller did not have Knowledge that such financial data was not prepared in accordance with standard industry practices, Seller’s failure to meet this representation may result in Buyer’s election to require that Seller repurchase such Purchased Asset in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 3(f) and the breach of this representation shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Default). Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position of Seller, or in the results of operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller.

(xxii) Hedging Transactions. Seller has not entered into any hedging transactions in connection with this Agreement.

Each Servicing Agreement related to any Purchased Asset, including without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement, may be terminated at will by Seller without payment of any penalty or fee.

Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon any advice from ▇▇▇▇▇ as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

In order to enable Buyer and its Affiliates to comply with any anti-money laundering program and related responsibilities including, but not limited to, any obligations under any applicable AML Laws or applicable Sanctions, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates makes the following representations and covenants to Buyer and its Affiliates that neither Seller, nor, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, any of its Affiliates, is a Prohibited Person, and Seller, is not acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any Prohibited Person (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not include or apply to any indirect equity owners of Seller that are shareholders of Sponsor whose shares are registered on a public securities exchange). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to promptly notify Buyer of any change in information affecting this representation and covenant.

In connection therewith, Seller shall allow Buyer to (i) review any operating statements, occupancy status and other property level information with respect to the underlying real estate directly or indirectly securing or supporting the Purchased Assets that either is in Seller’s possession or is available to Seller, (ii) examine, copy (at Buyer’s expense) and make extracts from its books and records, to inspect any of its properties, and (iii) discuss Seller’s business and affairs with its officers.

If any sums of money or property are paid or distributed in respect of the Purchased Assets and received by Seller, Seller shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, as additional collateral security for the Transactions.

(i) At any time from time to time upon the reasonable request of ▇▇▇▇▇, at the sole expense of Seller, Seller shall (i) promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement including the perfected, first priority security interest required hereunder, (ii) ensure that such security interest remains fully perfected

(B) Within ten (10) days of Buyer’s request, such other information regarding the financial condition, operations or business of Seller, Guarantor or any Mortgagor in respect of a Purchased Asset as Buyer may reasonably request.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 12, if Seller fails to deliver the complete Monthly Reporting Package described in clause (j)(i) above as a result of the failure of the related Mortgagor to deliver any information for the related time period as required by the relevant Purchased Asset Documents, then Buyer may draw any negative inferences it determines relevant as a result of such missing information for purposes of its determination of the Market Value of such Purchased Asset.

(k) Seller shall and shall cause Guarantor to at all times (i) continue to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by it or otherwise as approved by Buyer prior to the date hereof, (ii) comply with all material contractual obligations, (iii) comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, Environmental

Laws) of any Governmental Authority or any other federal, state, municipal or other public authority having jurisdiction over Seller and Guarantor or any of its assets and (iv) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence and all of its material rights, privileges, licenses and franchises necessary for the operation of its business (including, without limitation, preservation of all lending licenses held by Seller and of Seller’s status as a “qualified transferee” (however denominated) under all documents that govern the Purchased Assets).

Seller shall pay and discharge all Taxes on its assets and on the Purchased Items that, in each case, in any manner would create any Lien upon the Purchased Items, except for Liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents and other than any Liens with respect to such Taxes, such Taxes that are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or Taxes that are not yet due and payable.

(n) Seller shall advise Buyer in writing of the opening of any new chief executive office, principal office or place of business or of the closing of any such office of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor and of any change in Seller’s, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s or Guarantor’s name or jurisdiction of organization not less than thirty (30) days prior to taking any such action.

Income or other amounts into the Depository Account or as otherwise directed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing.

(p) Seller shall not cause or permit any Change of Control without the prior written consent of Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion.

(q) Seller shall cause each servicer of a Purchased Asset to provide to Buyer and to the Custodian via electronic transmission, promptly upon request by Buyer a Servicing Tape for the month (or any portion thereof) prior to the date of Buyer’s request; provided that, to the extent any servicer does not provide any such Servicing Tape, Seller shall prepare and provide to Buyer and the Custodian via electronic transmission a remittance report containing the servicing information that would otherwise be set forth in the Servicing Tape; provided further, that regardless of whether Seller at any time delivers any such remittance report, Seller shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each servicer to provide each Servicing Tape in accordance with this Article 11(q).

(xxii) Guarantor’s audited annual financial statements or the notes thereto or other opinions or conclusions stated therein are qualified or limited by reference to the status of Guarantor as a “going concern” or a reference of similar import, other than a qualification or limitation expressly related to Buyer’s rights in the Purchased Assets;

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer may exercise any or all rights or remedies it may have under the Transaction Documents with respect to any or all of the Purchased Items or that may otherwise be available under applicable law, including, without limitation of the foregoing, the following rights and remedies:

(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, Pledgor or Guarantor), 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”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 12(b)(i) of this Agreement:

(A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 12(b)(iii) of this Agreement); and

(C) the Custodian shall, upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets.

(iii) Buyer may (A) immediately sell on a servicing released basis, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (B) in Buyer’s sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 12(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the actual costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the default or defaults hereunder; (w) second, to actual, out-of-pocket damages incurred by Buyer in connection with such default or defaults hereunder (including, but not limited to, costs of cover and/or hedging transactions, if any); (x) third, to the Repurchase Obligations; (y) fourth, to any Breakage Costs with respect to the Purchased Assets sold to Buyer by Seller; and (z) fifth, to return any excess to Seller.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does 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 Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets 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 and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all actual losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default.

(vi) 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 (where relevant), 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets transferred to Buyer by Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii) 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.

(viii) 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, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, 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.

(ix) In addition to the rights of Buyer pursuant to clause (b)(i) through (viii) above, Seller agrees that Buyer shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort or obtain or pay any particular price for any Purchased Asset sold by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Buyer’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Seller hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered commercially reasonable as part of a foreclosure sale (for the avoidance of doubt, Seller does not waive its right to otherwise object to other aspects of a foreclosure sale being commercially reasonable):

(A) Buyer conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York;

(B) The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;

(C) Immediately following delivery of a notice of foreclosure sale, Seller shall cooperate in all reasonable manners to provide Buyer and its representatives with full access to and all relevant financial information relating to the Purchased Assets;

(D) The foreclosure sale is conducted by an auctioneer licensed in the State of New York and is conducted in front of the New York Supreme Court located in New York City or such other New York State Court having jurisdiction over the Purchased Assets on any Business Day between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (New York time); and

(E) The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (or such other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York if such newspapers are no longer published) for seven (7) consecutive days prior to the date of the

foreclosure sale; and ▇▇▇▇▇ sends notification of the foreclosure sale to Seller and all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements in the filing offices located in the State of Delaware conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days before such notification date.

(c) If at any time Buyer determines that any Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the related Transaction and may elect to have the Seller repurchase such Purchased Asset pursuant to this Article 12(c). No later than the Margin Deadline after receiving notice from Buyer or otherwise obtaining Actual Knowledge that such Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, Seller shall repurchase the affected Purchased Asset and Seller shall pay the applicable Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset to Buyer by depositing such amount in immediately available funds at the direction of Buyer.

ARTICLE 13.

▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction (including any related Future Funding Transaction) hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 14.
RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREES THAT A DULY AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 15.

A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 15 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 16.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

ARTICLE 17.
NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void. Buyer may, without consent of Seller, sell participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”); provided that, for any participation, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall not sell or assign all or any portion of its rights to any Prohibited Transferee, any Mortgagor under any Purchased Asset or any Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion. Buyer may, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Person (an “Assignee” and together with Participants, each a “Transferee” and collectively, the “Transferees”) all or any part of its rights its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement; provided that, for any sale or assignment, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) initial Buyer

shall not sell or assign all or any portion of its rights to any Prohibited Transferee, any Mortgagor under any Purchased Asset or any Affiliate thereof without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, and (ii) so long as JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”) retains more than a 50% interest in the Purchased Assets and its other interests under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, (A) JPM’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) JPM shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of such obligations, (C) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with JPM in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, and (D) JPM shall retain ultimate decision-making authority under the Transaction Documents. Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller reasonably contemporaneously with any assignment participation or sale of 50% or more of its rights or obligations under the Transaction Documents. Seller agrees to, and to cause Guarantor to, reasonably cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale, which shall be, so long as no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing, at Buyer’s sole expense. Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to its pro rata share of the benefits of Article 3(j), Article 3(k), and Articles 3(o) through (t) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Article 3(s) (it being understood that the documentation required under Article 3(s) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)) to the same extent as if it were an Assignee and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Article 17(a); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Article 3(v) as if it were an Assignee under this Article 17(a), and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 3(k), Article 3(o), or Article 3(r), with respect to any participation, than its participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority, in any case which occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Buyer that sells a participation agrees, at Seller’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller to effectuate the provisions of Article 3(v) with respect to the applicable Participant.

(b) Title to all Purchased Assets and Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets subject to Seller’s rights as expressly set forth under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items or otherwise selling, pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Buyer shall transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Date free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim on any of the Purchased Assets. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or Purchased Items transferred to Buyer by Seller.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇, acting for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Buyer, and the percentage of the rights and obligations under this Agreement owing to Buyer (including ▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in the

Purchased Assets (and related Price Differential)) and any Transferee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”) which Register shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, Buyer, and each Transferee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer or Transferee, as applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No sale, assignment, transfer or participation pursuant to this Article 17(c) shall be effective until reflected in the Register. Seller and Buyer intend that any interest in or with respect to the Purchased Assets under this Agreement be treated as being issued and maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any regulations thereunder and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that gives effect to such intent. Each Buyer that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each participant and the amount of such participant’s interest in the rights and obligations (including Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets (and related Price Differential)) under this Agreement and the other Program Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Buyer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such rights or obligations are in registered form in accordance with Code or Treasury Regulations, including without limitation Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register as the owner of the related rights and obligations for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall not assign its rights or create participations or similar ownership interest in the Transaction Documents in a manner that would cause the Seller or any portion of the Seller to be a “taxable mortgage pool” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE 18.
GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 19.
NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Articles 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

ARTICLE 20.
USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Article 20, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c) By entering into a Transaction or a related Future Funding Transaction pursuant to this Article 20, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

ARTICLE 21.
INTENT

(a) The parties intend and recognize that this Agreement and each Transaction (including any Future Funding Transaction) is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction and/or Future Funding Transaction or the term of such Transaction and/or Future Funding Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction and/or Future Funding Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). The parties intend (a) for each Transaction (including any Future Funding Transaction) to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the

Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Article 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (c) that each party (for so long as each is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Section 546, 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” and a “master netting agreement,” including (x) the rights, set forth in Article 12 (with respect to Buyer) and Seller’s option to declare an Early Repurchase Date upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Buyer, and in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and accelerate or terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Article 12 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362 (b)(7), 362(b)(27), and 362(o) and the non-avoidability rights set forth in Section 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) It is understood that (i) either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions and/or Future Funding Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 12 hereof and (ii) Seller’s option to declare an early Repurchase Date upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Buyer is, in each case, a contractual right to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or the Transactions (including any related Future Funding Transactions) as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions and Future Funding Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction and Future Funding Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d) Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of (i) this Agreement or any Transaction or Future Funding Transaction as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement,” or (ii) each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except insofar as the type of Asset subject to the Transactions and/or Future Funding Transactions or, in the case of a “repurchase agreement,” the term of the Transactions and/or Future Funding Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable.

(e) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction and Future Funding Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA or Regulation EE of Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System thereunder).

(f) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and as used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties intend that, for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction and Future Funding Transaction constitutes a financing, and that the Seller (or its regarded owner for U.S. tax purposes, as applicable) be (except to the extent that Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets sold by Seller for such purposes. In addition, the parties intend that neither the Seller nor any portion of the Seller be treated as a “taxable mortgage pool” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and this Agreement and any ancillary agreements or documentation (including any assignment or participation) shall be interpreted consistent with such intent. Unless pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a) or prohibited by applicable law as evidenced by a definitive change in the applicable statutes, regulations or administrative rulings by the IRS or any judicial authority, Seller and Buyer shall treat the Transactions and Future Funding Transactions as described in the preceding sentences (including on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state, or local taxing authority and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment).

ARTICLE 22.
DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the Exchange Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable; and

(d) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an “insured depository institution”, as that term is defined in Section 1813(c)(2) of Title 12 of the United States Code, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

ARTICLE 23.

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile.

(b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent each may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Article 23 shall affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(d) EACH OF SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

ARTICLE 24.
NO RELIANCE

Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

ARTICLE 25.
INDEMNITY

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, each Assignee, ▇▇▇▇▇’s designee, ▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliates, each Assignee’s Affiliates and each of Buyer’s, such Assignee’s and any such designee’s or Affiliate’s respective officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, Seller shall

not be liable for Indemnified Amounts to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts result from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Buyer or any such Indemnified Party as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act; provided that, Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts to the extent that such Indemnified Amounts result from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Buyer or any such Indemnified Party as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent judgment. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by any Indemnified Party in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all actual expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer’s reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, those incurred pursuant to Article 26 and Article 3 (including, without limitation, all Pre-Transaction Legal Expenses, even if the underlying prospective Transaction for which they were incurred does not take place for any reason)) and the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation the fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Seller hereunder are a recourse obligation of Seller. Buyer shall make reasonable efforts to inform Seller of Pre-Transaction Legal Expenses that exceed $10,000. This Article 25 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Indemnified Amounts arising from any non-Tax claim.

ARTICLE 26.
DUE DILIGENCE

(a) Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Primary Servicer, Repo Servicer, any other servicer or sub-servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ (other than with respect to Appraisals as specified in Article 26(b) below) with respect to continuing due diligence on the Purchased Assets during the term of this

Agreement, which shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five (5) days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reasonably cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇ and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel and reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Appraisals shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and (ii) while any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all costs of Appraisals shall be at Seller’s sole cost and expense.

ARTICLE 27.
SERVICING

(a) Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including, without limitation, the Repo Servicer and the Primary Servicer) shall service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of Buyer and ▇▇▇▇▇’s successors and assigns. Seller shall cause each such servicer (including, without limitation, the Repo Servicer and the Primary Servicer) to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and for the benefit of Buyer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided that, without prior written consent of Buyer in its sole discretion as required by Article 7(d), no servicer (including, without limitation, the Repo Servicer and the Primary Servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall take any action with respect to any Purchased Asset described in Article 7(d).

(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Rights, servicing records, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing agreements (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement, the Repo Servicing Agreement or any other servicing and/or subservicing agreement relating to the servicing of any or all of the Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “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 and/or subservicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”), so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and/or (ii) terminate Primary Servicer, Repo Servicer or any other servicer or sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, Seller, in its capacity as servicer of the Purchased Assets), with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. For the avoidance of doubt, ▇▇▇▇▇ appoints Primary Servicer as the loan servicer, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and for so long as Primary Servicer maintains compliance with all applicable terms and conditions of the Primary Servicing Agreement.

(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers or any other servicer other than Primary Servicer pursuant to the Primary Servicing Agreement or Repo Servicer pursuant to the Repo Servicing Agreement to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a sub-servicer or any other servicer, Seller shall, irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest (if any) in the servicing agreements in the Purchased Assets to Buyer. Seller shall cause all servicers other than the Repo Servicer (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicer) and sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute the Servicer Notice with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Assets and Servicing Rights and Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub servicer shall immediately transfer all Income and other amounts with respect to the Purchased Assets to Buyer in accordance with this Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Servicer Notice, as applicable, and so long as any Purchased Asset is owned by Buyer hereunder, following notice from Buyer to Seller and each such servicer of an Event of Default under this Agreement, each such servicer (including the Repo Servicer and Primary Servicer) or sub-servicer shall take no action with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as specifically directed by Buyer. Seller shall cause each Servicing Agreement (including the Repo Servicing Agreement) to be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and each Servicer (including the Repo Servicer) to comply with such terms.

(e) The payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Assets. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by Buyer.

ARTICLE 28.
MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that subject to Article 17 hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇ may either securitize or participate, syndicate or otherwise sell interests in the Transactions, any Transaction and/or any portion thereof (any such transaction, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). To the extent Buyer desires to implement any Secondary Market Transaction, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇, at ▇▇▇▇▇’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Buyer’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and Seller’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), to plan, structure, negotiate, implement and execute such Secondary Market Transaction; provided that such Secondary Market Transaction has no material adverse

100

tax consequence on Seller or its direct or indirect owners. Seller hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer reserves the right to convert any Transaction or Transactions (or any portion thereof) at any time (including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) to components, pari passu financing or subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of preferred equity, subordinate debt, multiple notes, or participation interests, each subordinate to such loan (“Subordinate Financing”, and the senior portion of any such Subordinate Financing, the “Senior Tranche”), and (ii) any such Subordinate Financing shall have individual coupon rates that, when blended with the Senior Tranche in the aggregate, shall equal at all times the Price Differential; provided that, such conversion or Subordinate Financing has no material adverse tax consequence on Seller or their direct or indirect owners. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of any such Subordinate Financing will provide that a default under the Senior Tranche shall be a default under the respective Subordinate Financing. Seller consents to disclosure by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Purchased Assets, collateral therefor and Seller’s and its Affiliates’ and/or principals’ operating and financial statements in connection with the servicing of any Purchased Assets and any Secondary Market Transaction.

(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 this Agreement is determined to create a security interest, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(c) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

(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) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of outside accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred

101

in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or Transaction is ultimately consummated. Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Purchased Items and for the custody, care or preservation of the Purchased Items (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Depository Account and registering the Purchased Items in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

(f) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer or its Affiliates or any entity under the Control of Buyer or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Buyer, wherever located), for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of Seller at any time existing. Buyer and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller thereof under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, irrespective of whether Buyer or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. Seller shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER.

(g) All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either party hereto to

102

any Person except (i) to the Affiliates of such party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by Requirements of Law, (iii) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either party or an Affiliate thereof, (iv) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents, Purchased Assets or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, (v) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (vi) in the event any party is legally compelled to make pursuant to deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process by court order of a court of competent jurisdiction, (vii) to the extent required to be included in the publicly filed financial statements or other public filings of such party or an Affiliate thereof, or (viii) to any actual or prospective Participant or Assignee that agrees to comply with this Article 28(g); provided, that, except with respect to the disclosures by Buyer under this Article 28(g) or disclosures by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or Sponsor under Article 28(g)(vii), no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Transaction Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure.

(h) 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.

(i) This Agreement 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.

(j) The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that it 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.

(k) 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.

(l) The following rules set forth in this paragraph apply to this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. The singular includes the plural and conversely. A gender includes all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined, its other grammatical forms have a corresponding meaning. A reference to

The Transaction Documents are the result of negotiations between the parties hereto, have been reviewed by counsel to Buyer and counsel to Seller, and are the product of both parties. No rule of construction shall apply to disadvantage one party on the ground that such party proposed or was involved in the preparation of any particular provision of the Transaction Documents or the Transaction Documents themselves. Except where otherwise expressly stated, Buyer may give

104

or withhold, or give conditionally, approvals and consents, and may form opinions and make determinations, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) In the event that Buyer or a BHC Act Affiliate of Buyer becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents that may be exercised against Buyer are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

EXHIBIT VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET THAT IS A
SENIOR MORTGAGE LOAN

1. As applicable, each Purchased Asset is either a whole loan and not a participation interest in a whole loan or an A-Note interest in a whole loan. The sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer or its designee does not require Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained. It being understood that B-notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Senior Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Underlying Mortgaged Property. Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

2. No Purchased Asset is 30 days or more delinquent in payment of principal and interest (without giving effect to any applicable grace period) and no Purchased Asset has been 30 days or more (without giving effect to any applicable grace period in the related Mortgage Note) past due.

3. Except with respect to the ARD Loans, which provide that the rate at which interest accrues thereon increases after the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Purchased Assets (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) are fixed rate mortgage loans or floating rate mortgage loans with terms to maturity, at origination or as of the most recent modification, as set forth in the Purchased Asset Schedule.

4. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset set forth on the Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date. Seller has delivered to Buyer a true, correct and complete copy of all related Purchased Asset Documents, which have not been amended, modified, supplemented or restated since the related date of origination except as such amendment, modification, supplement or restatement has been delivered to Buyer prior to the Purchase Date and, in the case of any Material Modification occurring on or after the related Purchase Date, with respect to which Buyer has provided prior written consent.

5. At the time of the assignment of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, each Purchased Asset, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and such assignment validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Purchased Assets to Buyer free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, participation or security interest, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Senior Mortgage Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Senior Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Senior Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges,

charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Senior Mortgage Loan subject to the rights and obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement.

6. To the extent required under applicable law, Seller is authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Senior Mortgage Loan.

7. In respect of each Purchased Asset, (A) the related Mortgagor 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 and (B) the Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding.

8. Each Purchased Asset is secured by (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan is secured by) a Mortgage that establishes and creates a valid and subsisting first priority lien on the Underlying Mortgaged Property, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, pledges, charges or security interests subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreement, UCC financing statement or similar agreement, if any, establishes and creates a first priority security interest in favor of Seller in all personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and, to the extent a security interest may be created therein and perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction, the proceeds arising from the Underlying Mortgaged Property and other collateral securing such Purchased Asset, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Each UCC financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and each UCC financing statement assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. There exists with respect to such Underlying Mortgaged Property an assignment of leases and rents provision, either as part of the related Mortgage or as a separate document or instrument, which establishes and creates a first priority security interest in and to leases and rents arising in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. No person other than the related Mortgagor and the mortgagee owns any interest in any payments due under the related leases. The related Mortgage or such assignment of leases and rents provision provides for the appointment of a receiver for rents or allows the holder of the related Mortgage to enter into possession of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to collect rent or provides for rents to be paid directly to the holder of the related Mortgage in the event of a default beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, under the related Purchased Asset Documents. As of the origination date, there are no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior or equal to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are insured against pursuant to the applicable Title Policy (as defined below).

As of the Purchase Date, there are no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior or equal in priority to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are insured against pursuant to the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). No (a) Underlying Mortgaged Property secures any mortgage loan not represented on the Purchased Asset Schedule, (b) Purchased Asset is cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan, other than a mortgage loan listed on the Purchased Asset Schedule, or (c) Purchased Asset is secured by property that is not an Underlying Mortgaged Property.

9. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Senior Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Seller against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Senior Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

10. The related Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset has good and indefeasible fee simple or, with respect to those Purchased Assets described in clause (31) hereof, leasehold title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate subject to any Permitted Encumbrances.

11. Seller has received an American Land Title Association (ALTA) lender’s title insurance policy or a comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy (or escrow instructions binding on the Title Insurer (as defined below) and irrevocably obligating the Title Insurer to issue such title insurance policy, a title policy commitment or pro-forma “marked up” at the closing of the related Purchased Asset and countersigned by the Title Insurer or its authorized agent) as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (the “Title Policy”), which was issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company (the “Title Insurer”) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, covering the portion of each Underlying Mortgaged Property comprised of real estate and insuring that the related Mortgage is a valid first lien in the original principal amount of the related Purchased Asset on the Mortgagor’s fee simple interest (or, if applicable, leasehold interest) in such Underlying Mortgaged Property comprised of real estate subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Such Title Policy was issued in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Asset. No claims have been made under such Title Policy. Such Title Policy is in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been paid and will provide that the insured includes the owner of the Purchased Asset and its successors and/or assigns. No holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would, and Seller has no Knowledge of any other circumstance that would, impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (i) that the Underlying Mortgaged

Property shown on the Survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (i) to the extent that the Underlying Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

12. The related Assignment of Mortgage and the related assignment of the assignment of leases and rents executed in connection with each Mortgage, if any, have been recorded in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if not recorded, have been submitted for recording or are in recordable form) and constitute the legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage and the related assignment of leases and rents from Seller to Buyer. The endorsement of the related Mortgage Note by Seller constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable (except as such enforcement may be limited by anti-deficiency laws or bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)) assignment of such Mortgage Note, and together with such Assignment of Mortgage and the related assignment of assignment of leases and rents, legally and validly conveys all right, title and interest in such Purchased Asset and (except in the case of an A-Note or a Participation Interest) the Purchased Asset Documents to Buyer.

13. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) (a) provide that such Purchased Asset (or Underlying Mortgage Loan) is non-recourse except that the related Mortgagor and guarantor that has assets other than equity in the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from at least the following acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, or (B) any security deposits not delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Underlying Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of

the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

14. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Underlying Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non judicial foreclosure, and there is no exemption available to the related Mortgagor that would interfere with such right of foreclosure except (i) any statutory right of redemption or (ii) any limitation arising under anti deficiency laws or by bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

15. Each of the related Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the related Mortgagor named on the Purchased Asset Schedule and each of the other related Purchased Asset Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by anti deficiency laws or bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that certain provisions of such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but the inclusion of such provisions does not render any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole, and such Purchased Asset Documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby.

16. The terms of the Purchased Assets or the related Purchased Asset Documents, (including, in the case of a Participation Interest, the documents evidencing the Underlying Mortgage Loan) have not been altered, impaired, modified or waived in any material respect, except in accordance with the Transaction Documents and prior to the Purchase Date by written instrument duly submitted for recordation, to the extent required, and as specifically set forth by a document in the related Purchased Asset File delivered to Buyer prior to the Purchase Date.

17. With respect to each Mortgage that is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor other than de minimis fees paid in connection with the full or partial release of the Underlying

Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Asset following payment of such Purchased Asset in full. The material terms of such Mortgage and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect.

18. No Purchased Asset has been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, released or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the related Mortgagor has not been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations under any related Purchased Asset Document except pursuant to a document delivered to Buyer prior to the Purchase Date and, in the case of any Significant Modification occurring on or after the related Purchase Date, with respect to which Buyer has provided prior written consent.

19. Except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges, neither the Purchased Asset nor any of the related Purchased Asset Documents is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, including, without limitation, any valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Senior Mortgage Loan, nor will the operation of any of the terms of any such Purchased Asset Documents, or the exercise (in compliance with procedures permitted under applicable law) of any right thereunder, render any Purchased Asset Documents subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury (subject to anti-deficiency or one form of action laws and to bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)), and no such right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. None of the Purchased Asset Documents provides for a release of a portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except upon payment or defeasance in full of all obligations under the Mortgage, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the Purchased Assets may allow partial release (a) upon payment or defeasance of an allocated loan amount which may be formula based, but in no event less than 125% of the allocated loan amount, or (b) in the event the portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property being released was not given any material value in connection with the underwriting or appraisal of the related Purchased Asset.

20. There is no payment default, giving effect to any applicable notice and/or grace period, and there is no other material default under any of the related Purchased Asset Documents, giving effect to any applicable notice and/or grace period; no such material default or breach has been waived by Seller or on its behalf or, by Seller’s predecessors in interest with respect to the Purchased Assets; and no event has occurred that, with the passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a material default or breach under the related Purchased Asset Documents. No Purchased Asset has been accelerated and no

foreclosure or power of sale proceeding has been initiated in respect of the related Mortgage. Seller has not waived any material claims against the related Mortgagor under any non-recourse exceptions contained in the Mortgage Note.

21. The principal amount of the Purchased Asset stated on the Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date (except for certain amounts that were fully disbursed by the mortgagee, but escrowed pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents) and there are no future advances required to be made by the mortgagee under any of the related Purchased Asset Documents except as otherwise specified by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller in the related Confirmation. Any requirements under the related Purchased Asset Documents regarding the completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been or are being complied with or such escrow funds are still being held. The value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property relative to the value reflected in the most recent Appraisal thereof is not materially impaired by any improvements that have not been completed. Seller has not, nor, have any of its agents or predecessors in interest with respect to the Purchased Assets, in respect of such Purchased Asset, directly or indirectly, advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor other than (a) interest accruing on such Purchased Asset from the date of such disbursement of such Purchased Asset to the date which preceded by thirty (30) days the first payment date under the related Mortgage Note and (b) application and commitment fees, escrow funds, points and reimbursements for fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the origination and funding of the Purchased Asset.

22. No Purchased Asset has capitalized interest included in its principal balance, or provides for any shared appreciation rights or other equity participation therein and no contingent or additional interest contingent on cash flow or, except for ARD Loans, negative amortization accrues or is due thereon.

23. Each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan substantially fully amortizes over its stated term, which term is at least 60 months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Purchased Asset. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Purchased Asset or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code) in the Purchased Asset exercisable during the term of the mortgage loan, (i) the Purchased Asset’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the Excess Cash Flow collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all Excess Cash Flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee

on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related Mortgage Interest Rate on such Purchased Asset’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

24. Each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan with a hard lockbox requires that tenants at the Underlying Mortgaged Property shall (and each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan with a springing lockbox requires that tenants at the Underlying Mortgaged Property shall, upon the occurrence of a specified trigger event, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date) make rent payments into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased Asset and to which the holder of the Purchased Asset has a first perfected security interest; provided however, with respect to each ARD Loan that is secured by a multi-family property with a hard lockbox, or with respect to each ARD Loan that is secured by a multi-family property with a springing lockbox, upon the occurrence of a specified trigger event, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date, tenants either pay rents to a lockbox controlled by the holder of the mortgage loan or deposit rents with the property manager who will then deposit the rents into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased Asset.

25. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller and each originator in respect of each Senior Mortgage Loan and the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents evidencing such Purchased Asset comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations and Seller and each originator has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination, funding and servicing of the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Purchased Asset and was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with Seller’s and each originator’s customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.

26. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is, in all material respects, in compliance with, and is used and occupied in accordance with, all restrictive covenants of record applicable to such Underlying Mortgaged Property and applicable zoning laws and all inspections, licenses, permits and certificates of occupancy required by law, ordinance or regulation to be made or issued with regard to the Underlying Mortgaged Property governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except to the extent (a) any material non-compliance with applicable zoning laws is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or binding commitment therefor), or the equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, the inability to restore the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure

immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, or title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity, the failure to obtain or maintain such inspections, licenses, permits or certificates of occupancy does not materially impair or materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset or the rights of a holder of the related Purchased Asset, or (b) 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property or are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy. In addition, any material non conformity with applicable zoning laws constitutes a legal non conforming use or structure that, in the event of casualty or destruction, may be restored or repaired to the full extent of the use or structure at the time of such casualty, and for which law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained in amounts consistent with the standards utilized by Seller.

27. All (a) taxes, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other similar outstanding governmental charges and governmental assessments that became due and owing prior to the Purchase Date in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property), and that if left unpaid, would be, or might become, a lien on such Underlying Mortgaged Property having priority over the related Mortgage and (b) insurance premiums or ground rents that became due and owing prior to the Purchase Date in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property), have been paid, or if any such items are disputed, an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient (together with escrow payments required to be made prior to delinquency) to cover such taxes and assessments and any late charges due in connection therewith has been established. As of the date of origination, the Underlying Mortgaged Property consisted of one or more separate and complete tax parcels. For purposes of this representation and warranty, the items identified herein shall not be considered due and owing until the date on which interest or penalties would be first payable thereon.

28. None of the improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset lies outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that they are legally nonconforming as contemplated by the representation in the last sentence of clause (26) above, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the exception in each case of (a) immaterial encroachments that do not materially adversely affect the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or (b) encroachments affirmatively covered by the related Title Policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the property legally described in the Survey, if any, obtained for the Underlying Mortgaged Property for purposes of the origination thereof is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage. Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Underlying Mortgaged Property that Seller

believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence.

29. As of the date of the applicable engineering report (which was performed within 12 months prior to the Purchase Date) related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property and, as of the Purchase Date, the Underlying Mortgaged Property is either (i) in good repair, free and clear of any damage that would materially adversely affect the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for such Purchased Asset or the use and operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property as it was being used or operated as of the origination date or (ii) escrows in an amount consistent with the standard utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be not less than 100% of the estimated cost of the required repairs. The Underlying Mortgaged Property has not been damaged by fire, wind or other casualty or physical condition (including, without limitation, any soil erosion or subsidence or geological condition), which damage has not either been fully repaired or fully insured, or for which escrows in an amount consistent with the standard utilized by Seller with respect to loans it holds for its own account have not been established.

30. There are no proceedings pending or threatened, for the partial or total condemnation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

31. The Purchased Assets that are identified as being secured in whole or in part by a leasehold estate (a “Ground Lease”) (except with respect to any Purchased Asset also secured by the related fee interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property), satisfy the following conditions:

(i) such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction; such Ground Lease, or other agreement received by the originator of the Purchased Asset from the ground lessor, provides that the interest of the lessee thereunder may be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns, in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the Mortgage; as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan), there was no material change of record in the terms of such Ground Lease with the exception of written instruments that are part of the related Purchased Asset File and there has been no material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since the recordation of the related Purchased Asset, with the exception of written instruments that are part of the related Purchased Asset File;

(ii) such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related fee interest and Permitted Encumbrances and such Ground Lease is, and shall remain, prior to any

mortgage or other lien upon the related fee interest unless a nondisturbance agreement is obtained from the holder of any mortgage on the fee interest that is assignable to or for the benefit of the related lessee and the related mortgagee;

(iii) such Ground Lease provides that upon foreclosure of the related Mortgage or assignment of the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease in lieu thereof, the mortgagee under such Mortgage is entitled to become the owner of such interest upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder and, in the event that such mortgagee becomes the owner of such interest, such interest is further assignable by such mortgagee and its successors and assigns upon notice to such lessor, but without a need to obtain the consent of such lessor;

(iv) such Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no default of tenant or ground lessor was in existence at origination, or is currently in existence under such Ground Lease, nor at origination was, or is there any condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease; either such Ground Lease or a separate agreement contains the ground lessor’s covenant that it shall not amend, modify, cancel or terminate such Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage and any amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the related mortgagee, or its successors or assigns is not binding on such mortgagee, or its successor or assigns;

(v) such Ground Lease or other agreement requires that the lessor thereunder will supply an estoppel and give written notice of any material default by the lessee to the mortgagee under the related Mortgage, provided that such mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease; and such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that no such notice of default and no termination of the Ground Lease in connection with such notice of default shall be effective against such mortgagee unless such notice of default has been given to such mortgagee and any related Ground Lease contains the ground lessor’s covenant that it will give to the related mortgagee, or its successors or assigns, any notices it sends to the Mortgagor;

(vi) either (i) the related ground lessor has subordinated its interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the interest of the holder of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) or (ii) such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that (A) the mortgagee under the related Mortgage is permitted a reasonable opportunity to cure any default under such Ground Lease that is curable, including reasonable time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease, after the receipt of notice of any such default before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease; (B) in the case of any such default that is not curable by such mortgagee, or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the lessee under such Ground Lease,

such mortgagee has the right, following termination of the existing Ground Lease or rejection thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on substantially the same terms as the existing Ground Lease; and (C) all rights of the Mortgagor under such Ground Lease may be exercised by or on behalf of such mortgagee under the related Mortgage upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure;

(vii) such Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms that under all circumstances may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by the mortgagee or its assignee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, of the Underlying Mortgage Loan);

(viii) under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and any estoppel related thereto, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (IX))) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage or a financially responsible institution acting as trustee appointed by it, or consented to by it, or by the lessor having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent institutional lender), or to the payment in whole or in part of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

(ix) in the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(x) Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such ground lease; and

(xi) such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller; such Ground Lease contains a covenant (or applicable laws provide) that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant portion of such Underlying Mortgaged

Property subject to such Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage.

32. An Environmental Site Assessment meeting ASTM requirement conducted by a reputable environmental consultant relating to each Underlying Mortgaged Property and prepared no earlier than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date (each, an “ESA”) was obtained and reviewed by Seller in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset and a copy is included in the Purchased Asset File.

33. (A) There are no adverse circumstances or conditions with respect to or affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that would constitute or result in a material violation of any applicable Environmental Laws or (B) each such ESA did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Underlying Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) or the need for further investigation (collectively, “Environmental Condition”) other than such Environmental Condition (i) (A) for which environmental insurance is maintained, or (B) that would require (x) any expenditure less than or equal to 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan to achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with any Environmental Laws or (y) any expenditure greater than 5% of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset to achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with any Environmental Laws for which, in connection with this clause (y), adequate sums, but in no event less than 125% of the estimated cost as set forth in the ESA, were reserved in connection with the origination of the Purchased Asset and for which the related Mortgagor has covenanted to perform, or (ii) as to which the related Mortgagor or one of its affiliates is currently taking or required to take such actions, if any, with respect to such conditions or circumstances as have been recommended by the Environmental Site Assessment or required by the applicable Governmental Authority, or (iii) as to which another responsible party not related to the Mortgagor with assets reasonably estimated by Seller at the time of origination to be sufficient to effect all necessary or required remediation identified in a notice or other action from the applicable Governmental Authority is currently taking or required to take such actions, if any, with respect to such regulatory authority’s order or directive, or (iv) as to which the conditions or circumstances identified in the Environmental Site Assessment were investigated further and based upon such additional investigation, an environmental consultant recommended no further investigation or remediation, or (v) as to which a party with financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to cure the condition or circumstance that would give rise to such material violation provided a guarantee or indemnity to the related Mortgagor or to the mortgagee to cover the costs of any required investigation, testing, monitoring or remediation, or (vi) as to which the related Mortgagor or other responsible party obtained a “No Further Action” letter or other evidence reasonably acceptable to a prudent commercial mortgage lender that applicable federal, state, or local Governmental Authorities had no current intention of taking any action, and are not requiring any action, in respect of such condition or circumstance, or (vii) that would not require substantial cleanup, remedial action or other

extraordinary response under any Environmental Laws reasonably estimated to cost in excess of 5% of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset.

34. Since the delivery of the related Due Diligence Package (or as otherwise provided to Buyer), there has been no change in the financial position of the Purchased Assets.

35. The related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents contain covenants on the part of the related Mortgagor requiring its compliance with any present or future federal, state and local Environmental Laws and regulations in connection with the Underlying Mortgaged Property. The related Mortgagor (or an affiliate thereof) has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, and its successors and assigns (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the lender of record), harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, expenses and claims of whatever kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any such party resulting from a breach of the environmental representations, warranties or covenants given by the related Mortgagor in connection with such Purchased Asset.

36. For each of the Purchased Assets that is covered by environmental insurance, each environmental insurance policy is in an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset and has a term ending no sooner than the date that is five years after the maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the final maturity date) of the related Purchased Asset. All environmental assessments or updates that were in the possession of Seller and that relate to an Underlying Mortgaged Property as being insured by an environmental insurance policy have been delivered to or disclosed to the environmental insurance carrier issuing such policy prior to the issuance of such policy.

37. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset, and, as of the Purchase Date, the Underlying Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance policies providing the coverage described below and the Purchased Asset Documents permit the mortgagee to require the coverage described below. All premiums with respect to the insurance policies insuring each Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid in a timely manner or escrowed to the extent required by the Purchased Asset Documents, and Seller has not received any notice of cancellation or termination. The relevant Purchased Asset File contains the insurance policy required for such Purchased Asset or a certificate of insurance for such insurance policy. Each Mortgage requires that the Underlying Mortgaged Property and all improvements thereon be covered by insurance policies providing (a) coverage in the amount of the lesser of full replacement cost of such Underlying Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset (subject to customary deductibles) for fire and extended perils included within the classification “All Risk of Physical Loss” in an amount sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor from being deemed a co-insurer and to provide coverage on a full replacement cost basis of such Underlying Mortgaged Property (in some cases exclusive of foundations and footings) with an agreed amount endorsement to avoid application of any coinsurance provision; such policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming

mortgagee and its successor in interest as additional insureds or loss payee, as applicable; (b) business interruption or rental loss insurance in an amount at least equal to (i) 12 months of operations, with an extended indemnity for twelve (12) additional months after the Underlying Mortgaged Property is repaired or rebuilt as a result of casualty or condemnation or (ii) in some cases all rents and other amounts customarily insured under this type of insurance of the Underlying Mortgaged Property; (c) flood insurance (if any portion of the improvements on the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), with respect to certain Purchased Assets and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development with respect to other mortgage loans, as having special flood hazards) in an amount not less than amounts prescribed by FEMA; (d) workers’ compensation, if required by law; (e) comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount equal to not less than $1,000,000; all such insurance policies contain clauses providing they are not terminable and may not be terminated without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the mortgagee (except where applicable law requires a shorter period or except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the mortgagee is required). In addition, each Mortgage permits the related mortgagee to make premium payments to prevent the cancellation thereof and shall entitle such mortgagee to reimbursement therefor. Any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty, loss or taking will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset together with any accrued interest thereon. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by an insurance policy, issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, of the Underlying Mortgage Loan) and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least A:X from A.M. Best Company or “A” (or the equivalent) from S&P, Fitch or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Underlying Mortgaged 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 probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a return period of not less than 100 years, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A:X by A.M. Best Company or “A” (or the equivalent) from S&P, Fitch or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. The insurer issuing each of the foregoing insurance policies is qualified to write insurance in the jurisdiction where the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located.

38. All escrow and reserve amounts required to be deposited by each Mortgagor at origination under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been deposited at origination and there are no deficiencies with regard thereto.

39. Whether or not a Purchased Asset was originated by Seller, with respect to each Purchased Asset originated by Seller and each Purchased Asset originated by any Person other than Seller, as of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset, and, with

respect to each Purchased Asset originated by Seller and any subsequent holder of the Purchased Asset, as of the Purchase Date, there are no actions, suits, arbitrations or governmental investigations or proceedings by or before any court or other Governmental Authority or agency now pending against or affecting the Mortgagor or guarantor under any Purchased Asset or any of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties that, if determined against such Mortgagor or such Underlying Mortgaged Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided with respect to the related Purchased Asset, the ability of such Mortgagor and/or the current use or operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow to pay principal, interest and other amounts due under the related Purchased Asset, title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty; and there are no such actions, suits or proceedings threatened against such Mortgagor.

40. Each Purchased Asset complied at origination, in all material respects, with all of the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s and each originator’s underwriting standards and all laws and regulations applicable to such Purchased Asset and since origination, the Purchased Asset has been serviced in all material respects in a legal manner in conformance with Seller’s and each such originator’s servicing standards.

41. The originator of the Purchased Asset or Seller has inspected or caused to be inspected each Underlying Mortgaged Property within the 12 months prior to the Purchase Date.

42. The Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the holder of the Purchased Asset with quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for Underlying Mortgaged Properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements (i) with respect to each Senior Mortgage Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor 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 Underlying Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each Senior Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage.

43. All escrow deposits and payments required by the terms of each Purchased Asset are in the possession, or under the control of Seller (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the servicer of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), and all amounts required to be deposited by the applicable Mortgagor under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been deposited, and there are no deficiencies with regard thereto (subject to any applicable notice and cure period). All of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s interest in such escrows and deposits will be conveyed by Seller to Buyer hereunder.

44. Each Mortgagor with respect to a Purchased Asset is an entity whose organizational documents or related Purchased Asset Documents provide that it is, and at least so long

as the Purchased Asset is outstanding will continue to be, a Single Purpose Entity. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Senior Mortgage Loan with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5,000,000 provide that the Mortgagor is a Single Purpose Entity, and each Senior Mortgage Loan with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date of $20,000,000 or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, “Single Purpose Entity” shall mean a Person, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide that it shall engage solely in the business of owning and operating the Underlying Mortgaged Property and that does not engage in any business unrelated to such property and the financing thereof, does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the financing thereof or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, and the organizational documents of which require that it have its own separate books and records and its own accounts, in each case that are separate and apart from the books and records and accounts of any other Person, except as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

45. Each of the Purchased Assets contain a “due on sale” clause, which provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, of the related mortgage loan) if, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of an A-Note or a Participation Interest, of the holder of title to the Underlying Mortgage Loan), the property subject to the Mortgage, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold (except that it may provide for transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, manager, general partner or shareholder of a Mortgagor and that it may provide for assignments subject to the Purchased Asset holder’s approval of transferee, transfers to affiliates, transfers to family members for estate planning purposes, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in Mortgagors or transfers of passive interests so long as the key principals or general partner retains control, transfers of worn out or obsolete personal property or transfers occurring due to leases entered in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents). The Purchased Asset Documents contain a “due on encumbrance” or equivalent clause, which provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Asset if the property subject to the Mortgage or any controlling interest in the Mortgagor is further pledged or encumbered, unless the prior written consent of the holder of the Purchased Asset is obtained (except that it may provide for assignments subject to the Purchased Asset holder’s approval of transferee, transfers to affiliates or transfers of passive interests so long as the key principals or general partner retains control). The Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to pay, to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, such fees, along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance all reasonable fees and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due on sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause or a defeasance provision. As

of the Purchase Date, Seller holds no preferred equity interest in any Mortgagor and Seller holds no mezzanine debt related to such Underlying Mortgaged Property.

46. Each Purchased Asset containing provisions for defeasance of mortgage collateral requires either (a) the prior written consent of, and compliance with the conditions set by, the holder of the Purchased Asset to any defeasance, or (b)(i) the replacement collateral consist of U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due (up to the maturity date for the related Purchased Asset, the Anticipated Repayment Date for ARD Loans or the date on which the Mortgagor may prepay the related Purchased Asset without payment of any prepayment penalty); (ii) the loan may be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity approved by the holder of the Purchased Asset; (iii) counsel provide an opinion that the trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (iv) such other documents and certifications as the mortgagee may reasonably require, which may include, without limitation, (A) a certification that the purpose of the defeasance is to facilitate the disposition of the mortgaged real property or any other customary commercial transaction and not to be part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages and (B) a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due. Each Purchased Asset containing provisions for defeasance provides that, in addition to any cost associated with defeasance, the related Mortgagor shall pay, as of the date the mortgage collateral is defeased, all scheduled and accrued interest and principal due as well as an amount sufficient to defease in full the Purchased Asset. In addition, if the related Purchased Asset permits defeasance, then the mortgage loan documents provide that the related Mortgagor shall (x) pay all reasonable fees associated with the defeasance of the Purchased Asset and all other reasonable expenses associated with the defeasance, or (y) provide all opinions required under the related Purchased Asset Documents, including a REMIC opinion, and any applicable rating agency letters confirming that no downgrade or qualification shall occur as a result of the defeasance. If the Senior Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Underlying Mortgaged Property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Senior Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity and the Mortgagor is required to deliver an opinion of counsel that ▇▇▇▇▇ has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest.

47. Reserved.

In the case of any Senior Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an Underlying Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Senior Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions of the Code and, to such extent, the award for any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Underlying Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Senior Mortgage Loan.

In the case of any Senior Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Senior Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Underlying Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Senior Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC provisions of the Code.

48. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property is owned in fee by the related Mortgagor, with the exception of (i) Underlying Mortgaged Properties that are secured in whole or in a part by a Ground Lease and (ii) out-parcels, and is used and occupied for commercial or multifamily residential purposes in accordance with applicable law.

49. Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the related Mortgagor under the Purchased Asset. The Purchased Asset was not originated for the sole purpose of financing the construction of incomplete improvements on the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

50. If the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide for a grace period for delinquent monthly payments, such grace period is no longer than ten (10) days from the applicable payment date.

51. The following statements are true with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property: (a) the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located on or adjacent to a dedicated road or has access to an irrevocable easement permitting ingress and egress and (b) the Underlying Mortgaged Property is served by public or private utilities, water and sewer (or septic facilities) and otherwise appropriate for the use in which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is currently being utilized.

52. None of the Purchased Asset Documents contain any provision that expressly excuses the related borrower from obtaining and maintaining insurance coverage for acts of terrorism and, in circumstances where terrorism insurance is not expressly required, the mortgagee is not prohibited from requesting that the related borrower maintain such insurance, in each case, to the extent such insurance coverage is generally available for like properties in such jurisdictions at commercially reasonable rates. Each Underlying Mortgaged

Property is insured by an “all-risk” casualty insurance policy that does not contain an express exclusion for (or, alternatively, is covered by a separate policy that insures against property damage resulting from) acts of terrorism.

53. An Appraisal of the Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the date of origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), and such Appraisal satisfied the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Participation Interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) was originated. The appraisal date is within six (6) months prior to the Senior Mortgage Loan origination date, and within twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Senior Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such Appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

54. The Senior Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Senior Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Senior Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Senior Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Senior Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Senior Mortgage Loan on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Senior Mortgage Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Senior Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Senior Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Senior Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Senior Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Senior Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Senior Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Senior Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Senior Mortgage Loan

constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

55. Seller has obtained a rent roll other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of origination of the related Senior Mortgage Loan. Seller has obtained operating histories with respect to each Underlying Mortgaged Property certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of origination of the related Senior Mortgage Loan. The operating histories collectively report on operations for a period equal to (a) at least a continuous three-year period or (b) in the event the Underlying Mortgaged Property was owned, operated or constructed by the Mortgagor or an affiliate for less than three years then for such shorter period of time, it being understood that for Underlying Mortgaged Properties acquired with the proceeds of a Senior Mortgage Loan, operating histories may not have been available.

56. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) (the “Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 25% or greater direct or indirect ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Seller and each originator (1) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history for at least ten (10) years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history for at least ten (10) years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that records searches were limited to the last ten (10) years (clauses (1) and (2) above, collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”), and (3) performed or caused to be performed searches which confirm that each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor is not listed as a designated person on any lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or is not otherwise the subject of any economic or financial sanctions or trade embargoes imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by the U.S. Government or by other applicable sanctions authority (i.e., OFAC Searches). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the Knowledge of Seller, no Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

Defined Terms

As used in this Exhibit:

The term “Allocated Loan Amount” shall mean, for each Underlying Mortgaged Property, the portion of principal of the related Purchased Asset allocated to such Underlying Mortgaged Property for certain purposes (including determining the release prices of properties, if permitted) under such Purchased Asset as set forth in the related loan documents. There can be no assurance, and it is unlikely, that the Allocated Loan Amounts represent the current values of individual Underlying Mortgaged Properties, the price at which an individual Underlying Mortgaged Property could be sold in the future to a willing buyer or the replacement cost of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties.

The term “Anticipated Repayment Date” shall mean, with respect to any Purchased Asset that is indicated on the Purchased Asset Schedule as having a Revised Rate, the date upon which such Purchased Asset commences accruing interest at such Revised Rate.

The term “Assignment of Mortgage” shall mean, with respect to any Mortgage, an assignment of the mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related property is located to reflect the assignment and pledge of the Mortgage, subject to the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement.

The term “ARD Loan” shall mean any Purchased Asset that provides that if the unamortized principal balance thereof is not repaid on its Anticipated Repayment Date, such Purchased Asset will accrue Excess Interest at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor is required to apply excess monthly cash flow generated by the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the repayment of the outstanding principal balance on such Purchased Asset.

The term “Environmental Site Assessment” shall mean a Phase I environmental report meeting the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials, and, if in accordance with customary industry standards a reasonable lender would require it, a Phase II environmental report, each prepared by a licensed third party professional experienced in environmental matters.

The term “Excess Cash Flow” shall mean the cash flow from the Underlying Mortgaged Property securing an ARD Loan after payments of interest (at the Mortgage Interest Rate) and principal (based on the amortization schedule), and (a) required payments for the tax and insurance fund and ground lease escrows fund, (b) required payments for the monthly debt service escrows, if any, (c) payments to any other required escrow funds and (d) payment of operating expenses pursuant to the terms of an annual budget approved by the servicer and discretionary (lender approved) capital expenditures.

The term “Excess Interest” shall mean any accrued and deferred interest on an ARD Loan in accordance with the following terms. Commencing on the respective Anticipated Repayment Date each ARD Loan (pursuant to its existing terms or a unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code, in the Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the Purchased Asset) generally will bear interest at a fixed rate (the “Revised Rate”) per annum equal to the Mortgage Interest Rate plus a percentage specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents. Until the principal balance of each such Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero (pursuant to its existing terms or a unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code, in the Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the mortgage loan), such Purchased Asset will only be required to pay interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and the interest accrued at the excess of the related Revised Rate over the related Mortgage Interest Rate will be deferred (such accrued and deferred interest and interest thereon, if any, is “Excess Interest”).

The term “Mortgage Interest Rate” shall mean the fixed rate, or the formula applicable to determine the floating rate, of interest per annum that each Purchased Asset bears as of the Purchase Date.

The term “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean:

I. the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet delinquent or accruing interest or penalties;

II. covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and referred to in the related mortgagee’s title insurance policy;

III. other matters to which like properties are commonly subject and which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, and

IV. the rights of tenants, as tenants only, whether under ground leases or space leases at the Underlying Mortgaged Property

that together do not materially and adversely affect the related Mortgagor’s ability to timely make payments on the related Purchased Asset, which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, for the use currently being made, the operation as currently being operated, enjoyment, value or marketability of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Encumbrances shall exclude all pari passu, second, junior and subordinated mortgages but shall not exclude mortgages that secure Purchased Assets that are cross-collateralized with other Purchased Assets.

The term “Revised Rate” shall mean, with respect to those Purchased Assets on the Purchased Asset Schedule indicated as having a revised rate, the increased interest rate after the Anticipated Repayment Date (in the absence of a default) for each applicable Purchased Asset, as calculated and as set forth in the related Purchased Asset.

Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor under the related Underlying Mortgage Loan maintain insurance as described above or permits the mortgagee to require insurance as described above, and permits the Mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense if Mortgagor fails to do so.

35. There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Underlying Property Owner has taken any actions which would cause the Underlying Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; the loan documents relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

37. Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate during the 12 month period prior to the related origination date.

38. There are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws applicable to the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the use and occupancy thereof which (i) are not insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents and the loan documents relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan require the Underlying Mortgaged Property to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances.

39. None of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Mezzanine Loan or any related Underlying Mortgage Loan lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property (except Underlying Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the

related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Underlying Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

40. As of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset, there was no pending action, suit or proceeding, or governmental investigation of which Seller, the Mezzanine Borrower or the Underlying Property Owner has received notice, against the Mortgagor under the related Underlying Mortgage Loan or the related Underlying Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Mezzanine Loan or the Underlying Mortgage Loan.

41. The improvements located on the Underlying Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount no less than the lesser of (i) the original principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, (ii) the value of such improvements on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property located in such flood hazard area or (iii) the maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program.

42. Except for Mortgagors under Underlying Mortgage Loans the Underlying Mortgaged Property with respect to which includes a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Underlying Mortgaged Property.

43. The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents or any loan documents relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan permits the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset without the prior written consent of the holder thereof, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

44. Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

45. An Appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan; and such Appraisal satisfied the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act or 1989, as in effect on the date such Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated.

46. The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is served by public utilities, water and sewer (or septic facilities) and otherwise appropriate for the use in which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is currently being utilized.

47. With respect to each related Underlying Mortgaged Property consisting of a Ground Lease, Seller represents and warrants the following with respect to the related Ground Lease:

(i) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded no later than 30 days after the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date.

(ii) Upon the foreclosure of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date).

(iii) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the mortgagee and any such action without such consent is not binding on the mortgagee, its successors or assigns, except termination or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice thereof is provided to the mortgagee and (iii) such default is curable by the mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period.

(iv) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

(v) The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary agreement.

(vi) The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the Title Exceptions or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property is subject.

(vii) A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

(viii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the mortgagee if the mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date.

(ix) Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying Mortgage Loan).

(x) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

(xi) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

48. If the Underlying Mortgage Loan is secured by a credit tenant lease, such credit tenant lease has the following properties:

(xii) The base rental payments due under the related credit tenant lease, together with any escrow payments held by Seller or its designee, are equal to or greater than the payments due with respect to the related Underlying Mortgage Loan and are payable without notice or demand.

(xiii) Unless otherwise explicitly disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, the Mortgagor does not have any monetary obligations under the related credit tenant lease (other than indemnifying the related tenant for the related landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct and maintaining in good condition and repairing the roof, structural and exterior portions of the related leased property, for which a reserve to cover any reasonably anticipated expenses has been established), and every other material monetary obligation associated with

managing, owning, developing and operating the leased property, including, but not limited to, costs associated with utilities, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs is an obligation of the related tenant.

(xiv) Unless otherwise explicitly disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, the Mortgagor does not have any nonmonetary obligations, the performance of which would involve a material expenditure of funds or the non-performance of which would entitle the tenant to terminate the related credit tenant lease under the related credit tenant lease, except for the delivery of possession of the leased property and the landlord’s obligation not to lease or otherwise permit the operation of properties in competition with the leased property by any other parties or entities under the control of the landlord and except for certain rights arising as a result of environmental contamination which existed as of the rent commencement date and any environmental contamination caused by third parties unrelated to tenant after the rent commencement date.

(xv) Unless otherwise explicitly disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, the related tenant cannot terminate such credit tenant lease for any reason prior to the payment in full of: (a) the principal balance of the related Underlying Mortgage Loan; (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Underlying Mortgage Loan; and (c) any other sums due and payable under such Underlying Mortgage Loan, as of the termination date, which date is a rent payment date, except for a material default by the related Mortgagor under the credit tenant lease or due to a casualty or condemnation event.

(xvi) In the event the related tenant assigns or sublets the related leased property, such tenant (and if applicable, the related guarantor) remains primarily obligated under the related credit tenant lease.

(xvii) In connection with credit lease loans with respect to which a guaranty exists, the related guarantor guarantees the payment due (and not merely collection) under the related credit tenant lease and such guaranty, on its face, contains no conditions to such payment.

(xviii) No tenant under a credit lease loan and related documentation may exercise any termination right or offset or set-off right (other than abatement related to the existence of hazardous materials that materially interfere with the tenant’s use and occupancy) which shall be binding upon the related mortgagee without providing prior written notice of same to such mortgagee.

(xix) Each tenant under each credit lease loan and related documentation is required to make all rental payments due under the applicable credit lease to the holder of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or an account controlled by such holder).

(xx) The loan documents relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan provide that the credit tenant lease cannot be modified without the consent of the holder of the

Underlying Mortgage Loan and none of the terms of the credit tenant lease has been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect since the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan.

(xxi) The leased property related to each credit lease loan is not subject to any other lease other than the related credit lease or any ground lease pursuant to which the related Mortgagor has acquired its interest in the respective leased property.

(xxii) In reliance on a tenant estoppel certificate and representations made by the tenant under the credit lease or representations made by the related Mortgagor under the loan documents relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan, as of the date of origination of each credit lease loan (1) each credit lease was in full force and effect, and no default by the related Mortgagor or any tenant had occurred under the credit lease, nor was there any existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in a default under the terms of the credit lease, and (2) each credit lease has a term ending on or after the maturity date (or anticipated repayment date) of the related credit tenant lease.

49. The assignment of the Purchased Asset constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset from Seller to or for the benefit of Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

50. Each recordable Purchased Asset Document or related assignment thereof delivered by Seller to Buyer in connection with such Purchased Asset is in form and substance acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction.

51. Since the delivery of the related Due Diligence Package (or as otherwise provided to Buyer), there has been no change in the financial position of the Purchased Assets.

(c) The Bailee shall issue and deliver to Buyer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Custodian”) on or prior to the Funding Date by facsimile (a) in the name of Buyer, an initial trust receipt and certification in the form of Attachment 2 attached hereto (the “Bailee’s Trust Receipt and Certification”) which Bailee’s Trust Receipt and Certification shall state that the Bailee has received the documents comprising the Purchased Asset File as set forth in the Custodial Identification Certificate (as defined in that certain Custodial Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2026, among Seller, Buyer and Custodian), in addition to such other documents required to be delivered to Buyer

11. Attached as Exhibit 3 hereto are the calculations demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article 9 of the Guarantee Agreement.
