(xvi)          Notice to Obligors. Seller shall deliver to the Custodian a completed and signed Notice to Obligor, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, with respect to each Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction, which Notice to Obligor shall not be sent to such Obligor until the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.

(i)          Seller shall give Buyer and Custodian notice of the proposed Purchase Date, not later than three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Purchase Date (the date on which such notice is given, the “Notice Date”). On the Notice Date, Seller shall request that Buyer enter into a Transaction by furnishing to Buyer and to Custodian as specified in the Custodial Agreement, a Transaction Request and Confirmation (with respect to each Eligible Asset) accompanied by the Summary Diligence Materials, including, without limitation, a proposed Asset Schedule. In the event the Asset Schedule provided by Seller contains erroneous computer data, is not formatted properly or the computer fields are otherwise improperly aligned, Buyer shall provide written or electronic notice to Seller describing such error and Seller shall correct the computer data, reformat the Asset Schedule or properly align the computer fields. Such Transaction Request and Confirmation shall include all information required by Buyer pursuant to Exhibit A to this Agreement.

(ii)          Following receipt of a Transaction Request and Confirmation (such Transaction Request and Confirmation shall be free of any erroneous computer data and improperly formatted information as described in Section 3(c)(i) above) and the Summary Diligence Materials and an Asset Schedule, Buyer shall, as hereinafter provided, inform Seller of its election to enter into a Transaction to purchase any Eligible Assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller hereunder. Buyer or its designee shall have the right to review all Eligible Assets proposed to be sold to Buyer and conduct its own due diligence of such Eligible Assets as Buyer determines in accordance with Section 21. Upon completion of its review, Buyer shall confirm the terms for such proposed Transaction attributable to the Eligible Asset, including the Purchase Price, Purchase Price Percentage, the Asset Value, the Pricing Rate, and the Repurchase Date for such Transaction. The terms thereof shall be set forth in the Transaction Request and Confirmation signed by Seller, and confirmed by Buyer by countersigning the Transaction Request and Confirmation, to be returned to Seller by the end of the day on each Purchase Date. To the extent any term in the Transaction Request and Confirmation is incomplete, inconsistent with, or otherwise adds terms to this Agreement, Buyer shall have no obligation to execute and/or deliver the Transaction Request and Confirmation to Seller or enter into such Transaction.

(iii)          Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, and subject to due diligence review and approval of the proposed Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 21, Buyer may agree to enter into such requested Transaction so long as the conditions set forth herein are satisfied and after giving effect to the requested Transaction the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price does not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price, in which case Buyer shall fund the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement. Buyer’s funding the Purchase Price of the Transaction and Seller’s acceptance thereof, will constitute the parties’ agreement to enter into such Transaction. Upon remittance of the Purchase Price to Seller, Seller hereby grants, assigns, conveys and transfers all rights, and a first priority security interest in and to the Purchased Assets evidenced on the related Asset Schedule.

(iv)          Each Transaction Request and Confirmation together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby.

(v)          The Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the Termination Date.

(vi)          No later than the date and time set forth in the Custodial Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Custodian the Asset File pertaining to each proposed Purchased Asset to be purchased by Buyer.

(a)          Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Default or Margin Deficit will result therefrom, Seller may voluntarily repurchase, and Buyer shall resell, Purchased Assets without penalty or premium on any Business Day by delivering to Buyer written notice. If Seller intends to make such a repurchase, Seller shall give at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to Buyer, designating the Purchased Assets to be repurchased. If such notice is given and not subsequently revoked, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, and, on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for the designated Purchased Assets. Any repurchase of a Purchased Asset may occur simultaneously with a sale of the Purchased Asset to a third-party investor.

(b)          Provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Default or Margin Deficit will result therefrom, and (B) Buyer has received the Repurchase Price in full upon repurchase with respect to any Purchased Asset, Buyer agrees to release its ownership interest hereunder in such Purchased Asset (including the Repurchase Assets related thereto) pursuant to a release letter substantially in a form agreed upon by the parties; provided that, in the event of a partial remittance of the Repurchase Price without a request for repurchase, such payment will be applied as directed by Seller, or, in the absence of such direction, on a weighted average, pro rata basis to the Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets.

(c)          With respect to Principal Payments (other than such payments of the type set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Principal Payments”) of a Purchased Asset, Seller agrees to (A) comply with Section 8 of this Agreement, (B) provide Buyer a notice specifying any applicable Purchased Asset that has been prepaid or defeased in accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchased Asset, and (C) in the case of defeasance, deliver to the Custodian the defeasance collateral and upon such delivery the Custodian shall be permitted to physically release and transfer to Servicer all of the collateral previously pledged to secure payments in respect of the Purchased Asset that was defeased. Buyer’s ownership interest in Purchased Assets which have been prepaid or defeased in full shall automatically be released after receipt of evidence of compliance with clauses (A) through (C) of the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 5.         MARGIN AMOUNT MAINTENANCE

(a)          Buyer shall determine the Market Value of any Purchased Asset only (i) on the applicable Purchase Date; (ii) at any time upon the occurrence and continuance of a Credit Event; (iii) in accordance with exercising its remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof; (iv) at any time upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default; or (v) upon a breach of any MTM Representation.

(b)          If at any time the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions is less than the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”), then, if such Margin Deficit is greater than the Margin Deficit Threshold, Buyer may by written notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee, cash in the amount at least equal to the Margin Deficit, and Buyer shall apply such cash to the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets as directed by Seller, or, in the absence of such direction, on a weighted average, pro rata basis, with respect to the Purchased Assets that gave rise to the Margin Call.

(c)          Notice delivered pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof may be given by any written or electronic means. Any notice given before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such notice; notice given after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of such notice.

(d)          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.

SECTION 6. SECURITY INTEREST; ▇▇▇▇▇’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

(a)          On each Purchase Date, and continuing until the Purchased Assets are repurchased, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets identified on the related Asset Schedule, including the Repurchase Assets related to such Purchased Assets to Buyer. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (except as set forth in Section 25 for U.S. federal income tax purposes), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets (including all Servicing Rights related to such Purchased Assets); the Records related to the Purchased Assets; the Facility Documents (to the extent such Facility Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets); any Property relating to any Purchased Asset; any escrow letter or settlement agreement relating to any Purchased Asset; all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any property related to any Purchased Asset, including but not limited to any payments or proceeds under any related hazard insurance; the Collection Account and any amounts deposited therein; any Hedge Agreements relating to any Purchased Asset; any accounts, instruments (including promissory notes), chattel paper (including electronic chattel paper), contract rights and other general intangibles (including payment intangibles), payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), goods (including equipment and inventory), software, deposit accounts, investment property (including securities and securities accounts) and documents, to the extent that the foregoing relates to any Purchased Asset; and any other assets relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts and Income relating thereto) or any interest in the Purchased Assets; distributions with respect to any of the foregoing; together with all accessions and additions thereto; substitutions and replacements therefor; and all products and proceeds; in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Seller Repurchase Assets” and together with the Pledged Assets, the “Repurchase Assets”).

(b)          Seller acknowledges that it has sold the Purchased Assets to Buyer on a servicing released basis and it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller 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 and wherever located. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)          ▇▇▇▇▇’s Appointment as Attorney in Fact. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute a Power of Attorney, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Power of Attorney”), to be delivered on the date hereof.

(d)          Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate describing the collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description, notwithstanding that such collateral description may be broader in scope than the Repurchase Assets described in this Agreement. Seller shall pay the searching and filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared or searched pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 7.         PAYMENT, TRANSFER; ACCOUNTS

(a)          Payments and Transfers of Funds. Except in accordance with Section 7(c) or Section 10 below, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to Buyer at the following account maintained by Buyer, on the date on which such payment shall become due: Account No. ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇, ABA No.: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Name of Bank: Bank of Montreal, City/State/Zip: Chicago, IL ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Loan Clearing Account, Reference: FS CREIT Finance BMO-1 LLC CMBS Repo Facility.

(b)          Remittance of Purchase Price. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to Seller at such account designated by Seller in writing. With respect to the Purchased Assets being sold by Seller on a Purchase Date, Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Assets together with all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any related Repurchase Assets. All transfers of cash and assets shall be made in accordance with this Agreement.

Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Collection Account. Seller shall name the Collection Account as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇.

(b)          Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on or before 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Payment Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Distribution Worksheet. On each Payment Date, upon approval of the Distribution Worksheet by Buyer, the Bank shall remit funds on deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with the Distribution Worksheet:

(iv)          fourth, to Buyer in payment of any unpaid Upfront Fees or any other fees and expenses then due and payable;

(viii)        eighth, to Seller, any remaining amounts.

(c)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all amounts remitted to the Collection Account shall be held in trust for Buyer and shall be withdrawn from the Collection Account only by Buyer in accordance with Buyer’s rights under the Control Agreement and applied to the Obligations as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(d)          All Income received with respect to a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction, whether or not deposited in the Collection Account, shall be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer.

(e)           Seller shall not change the identity or location of the Collection Account without ▇▇▇▇▇’s written consent. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to Buyer, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇.

(f)          If Buyer so requests and to the extent not otherwise reflected on the applicable Distribution Worksheet, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Collection Account. Seller shall also promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to the Collection Account as ▇▇▇▇▇ may from time to time request.

(g)          The amount required to be paid or remitted by Seller to Buyer, not made when due shall bear interest from the due date until the remittance, transfer or payment is made, payable by Seller, at the lesser of the Post-Default Rate or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. If there is no maximum rate of interest specified by applicable law, interest on such sums shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate.

(h)          Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all payments received by Buyer shall, after notice to Buyer, be applied by Buyer on the date of such receipt or, if such receipt is made and notice received after 3:00 p.m. (New York time), on the following Business Day, to reduce the Purchase Price of the related Purchased Asset.

SECTION 9. REQUIREMENT OF LAW

(a)           If any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other organizational or governing documents) including those regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or application of any Requirement of Law thereof or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)            shall subject Buyer to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer (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 obligations, 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, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, or shall have the effect of reducing Buyer’s rate of return then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer such additional amount or amounts as calculated by Buyer in good faith as will compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b)          If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law (other than with respect to any amendment made to Buyer’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws or other organizational or governing documents) regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction.

(c)          If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 9, it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by Buyer to Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided that Seller shall not be required to pay any amounts referred to in sections (a) or (b) above that accrue or arise more than nine (9) months prior to Seller receiving notice thereof. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and/or reduce any claim arising under this section, including by using a different branch or Affiliate of Buyer to act as Buyer hereunder.

(d)          If prior to any Pricing Rate Period, Buyer determines in its sole discretion that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Benchmark; (ii) the Benchmark is no longer in existence; (iii) continued implementation of the Benchmark is no longer operationally, administratively or technically feasible or no significant market practice for the administration of the Benchmark exists, (iv) the Benchmark will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer and Buyers of purchasing or maintaining Transactions or (v) the administrator of the Benchmark or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Benchmark shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller (a “Notice of Successor Rate”), whereupon the rate for such Pricing Rate Period that will replace the Benchmark for such Pricing Rate Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the greater of (x) an alternative benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark rate (if any) incorporated therein) and (y) zero, together with any proposed Successor Rate Conforming Changes, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (any such rate, a “Successor Rate”). To the extent Buyer delivers a Notice of Successor Rate and implements the Successor Rate in accordance herewith, and Seller no longer desires to enter into Transactions with such Successor Rate, Seller shall notify Buyer within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such Notice of Successor Rate that it desires to terminate the Facility Documents and shall satisfy all Obligations in full within ninety (90) days of receipt of such Notice of Successor Rate.

(e)          To the extent Buyer implements a Successor Rate and Successor Rate Conforming Changes it will promptly notify Seller of the effectiveness of any such changes. Any determination of a Successor Rate and the adoption of Successor Rate Conforming Changes shall be made by Buyer in a manner substantially consistent with market practice with respect to similarly situated counterparties with substantially similar assets in similar facilities and any such Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller to this Agreement or the other Facility Documents.

SECTION 10. TAXES

(a)          Any and all payments by Seller Party under any Facility Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except where such deduction or withholding is made pursuant to an applicable Requirement of Law. If any applicable Requirement of Law (as determined in good faith by a Seller Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Seller Party 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 applicable Requirement of Law, and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Seller Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 10) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)          Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law any Other Taxes.

(c)          Seller shall indemnify Buyer for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer 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 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 10(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes demand therefor.

(d)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this section, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.

(e)          If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Facility Document, Buyer 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, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by a Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller is a U.S. Person:

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

(ii)          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 becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)          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 Facility Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 Facility Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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; or

(B)           executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; or

(C)          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 D 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 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Seller as 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; or

(D)          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 D, 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 D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii)          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 about the date on which such Foreign Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of any other form prescribed by a Requirement of 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 a Requirement of Law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)          if a payment made to Buyer under any Facility Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by a Requirement of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of Section 10, the term “Requirement of Law” includes FATCA and, solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(f)          Should a Buyer become subject to withholding of Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, each Seller Party, as applicable, shall take such steps as Buyer shall reasonably request to assist Buyer in recovering such Taxes.

(g)          Each party’s obligations under this Section 10 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(h)          Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate and/or reduce any claim arising under this section, including by using a different branch or Affiliate of Buyer to act as Buyer hereunder.

SECTION 11. SERVICING

(a)          Seller, on ▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is Servicer, Seller shall, service the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, consistent with the degree of skill and care in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicing Agreement shall require, inter alia, that: Servicer (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Assets or any payment thereunder. In addition, the Servicing Agreement shall require that Servicer deposit all collections of Income (other than amounts deposited in escrow accounts pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and Servicer’s fees or other amounts due to the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) received by Servicer on account of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account no later than the Servicer Remittance Date.

(b)          Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and Servicer shall cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor servicer appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion.

(c)          If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Servicer or any entity responsible for managing or servicing any Purchased Assets has failed to perform in all material respects any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Assets, or that an event of default under the Servicing Agreement has occurred, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer.

(d)          In the event that Servicer is a master servicer of a Purchased Asset which is serviced by a third-party Servicer, Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed to by the third-party Servicer of the related Purchased Assets, advising such third-party Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the master servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Assets and the third-party Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets and any related Income with respect thereto.

(e)          Seller shall not employ sub-servicers (other than Servicer or Affiliates thereof or third-party Servicers) to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Purchased Assets are serviced, in whole or in part, by a sub-servicer (i) Servicer shall nevertheless remain primarily liable to Buyer for the servicing of the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement; and (ii) any agreement with a subservicer shall entitle Buyer to terminate such subservicer without fee or penalty in the event that Servicer is replaced subject to the terms of the applicable sub-servicing agreement.

(f)          Seller shall cause Servicer to provide to Buyer, electronically, in a format mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, by no later than the Reporting Date, the Servicing Report.

(g)          For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no rights to the servicing other than Seller’s rights under the Servicing Agreement. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by Servicer.

SECTION 12. REPRESENTATIONS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the Effective Date and on each Purchase Date for any Transaction:

(a)          Organization, Etc. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Seller (a) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except where failure to so qualify would not be reasonably likely (either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Facility Documents.

(b)          Authorization, Compliance, Approvals. The execution and delivery of, and the performance by Seller of its obligations under, the Facility Documents to which it is a party (a) are within Seller’s powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all requisite action, (c) do not violate any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority, or its organizational documents, (d) do not violate any indenture, agreement, document or instrument to which Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which any of them or any of their properties, any of the Repurchase Assets is bound or to which any of them is subject and (e) are not in conflict with, do not result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or except as may be provided by any Facility Document, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for any Liens created pursuant to the Facility Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any such indenture, agreement, document or instrument. Except as expressly required pursuant to the Facility Documents, Seller is not required to obtain any consent, approval or authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated herein and the execution, delivery or performance of the Facility Documents to which it is a party.

(c)          Enforceability. This Agreement and all of the other Facility Documents executed and delivered by Seller in connection herewith are legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller and are enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Requirement of Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

(d)          Ability to Perform. Seller does not believe, nor does Seller have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in the Facility Documents to which it is a party on its part to be performed.

(e)          Acting as Principal. Seller will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal).

(f)          No Adverse Selection. Seller has not selected the Purchased Assets in a manner so as to adversely affect ▇▇▇▇▇’s interests.

(g)          No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Facility 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.

(h)          Solvency. As of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to each Transaction, the fair value of the assets of Seller is greater than the fair value of the liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities if and to the extent required to be recorded as a liability on the Financial Statements of Seller in accordance with GAAP) of Seller and Seller is solvent and, immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents, will not be rendered insolvent or left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct its respective business and perform its respective obligations. Seller does not intend to incur, nor does Seller believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

(i)           No Broker. Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent, or other Person, except for ▇▇▇▇▇, who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

(m)          Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations, investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are pending or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, threatened) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting any Seller Party or affecting any of the Repurchase Assets or any of the other properties of such Seller Party before any Governmental Authority which (i) questions or challenges the validity or enforceability of the Facility Documents or any material action to be taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) makes a claim or claims in an aggregate amount greater than the Litigation/Judgment Threshold or (iii) individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

There is no fact known to Seller after due inquiry, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other Facility Documents or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule, disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Buyer for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(o)          Margin Regulations.

SECTION 16. REMEDIES

(a)           If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the following rights and remedies are available to Buyer.

(i)            At the option of Buyer, exercised by written or electronic notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Event of a Seller Party), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, if it has not already occurred, shall be deemed immediately to occur.

(ii)           If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

(A)          Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subsection (a)(i) of this Section, (1) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable and (2) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owed by Seller hereunder;

(C)          all Income actually received by ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 5 shall be applied in Buyer’s sole discretion to the aggregate unpaid Obligations hereunder owed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties.

(iii)          Upon the occurrence of one or more Events of Default, Buyer shall have the right to obtain (A) a physical transfer of the servicing of the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 16(c) and (B) physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller (including any Servicer) and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in the Facility Documents.

(iv)          At any time on the Business Day following notice to Seller (which notice may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section), in the event Seller has not repurchased all Purchased Assets, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, without demand or further notice of any kind, at a public or private sale, without any representations or warranties of Buyer and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets subject to a such Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets shall be applied as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion.

(v)          Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default which is continuing, (B) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of Buyer entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default which is continuing, and (C) any other out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

(vi)          Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or any applicable Requirement of Law.

(b)          Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available hereunder immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing on such date and at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(c)          Seller recognizes that the market for the Purchased Assets and/or Repurchase Assets may not be liquid and as a result it may not be possible for Buyer to sell all of the Purchased Assets and/or Repurchase Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Purchased Asset and/or Repurchase Asset may be conducted in a private sale. Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Buyer than if such sale were a public sale, and notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Seller further agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of any Purchased Asset and/or Repurchase Asset by using internet sites that provide for the auction or sale of assets similar to the Purchased Assets and/or Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and Seller of assets.

(d)          Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase 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.

(e)          To the extent permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of ▇▇▇▇▇’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this Section 16(e) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

(f)          Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

(g)          Seller further recognizes that Buyer may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the 1934 Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one (1) or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not a view to the distribution or resale thereof. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, Seller agrees that liquidation of any Purchased Assets may be conducted in a private sale and at such price as Buyer may deem commercially reasonable. Buyer shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Purchased Assets for the period of time necessary to permit Buyer to register the Purchased Assets for public sale under the 1934 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Buyer would agree to do so.

SECTION 17. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSES; RECOURSE

(a)          Seller agrees to hold Buyer, and its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify, any Indemnified Party against all out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Costs”), relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty contained on Schedule 1), any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from anything other than the Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

This Section 17(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than Taxes representing losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)          ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay as and when billed by ▇▇▇▇▇ all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the development, preparation and execution of this Agreement, any other Facility Document or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. In connection therewith, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and expenses (but excluding any expenses with respect to due diligence which shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 21) incurred by Buyer in connection with the preparation of the Facility Documents, in amounts not to exceed the Legal Fee Cap.

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

SECTION 19. NETTING

If Buyer and Seller are “financial institutions” as now or hereinafter defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code (“Section 4402”) and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder,

(a)          All amounts to be paid or advanced by one party to or on behalf of the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment obligations” and all amounts to be received by or on behalf of one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be deemed to be “payment entitlements” within the meaning of Section 4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a “netting contract” as defined in Section 4402.

(b)          The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be netted as follows. In the event that either party shall fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder (the “Defaulting Party”), the other party (the “Nondefaulting Party”) shall be entitled to reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting Party failed to honor.

SECTION 20. RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

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 and those of the other party with respect to Transactions upon notice to the other party of such recording.

SECTION 21. DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇ has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, Seller Parties, Servicer (to the extent related to the services performed under the Servicing Agreement) and other parties which may be involved in or related to Transactions (collectively, “Third Party Transaction Parties”), as deemed appropriate by Buyer in its good faith discretion, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller Parties or Servicer, as applicable, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted at reasonable times to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of any Seller Party or Servicer; provided however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall not conduct more than one (1) such review during any one (1) year period; provided further that any such review shall be subject to the Asset Diligence Fee Cap. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Third Party Transaction Parties to cooperate with any due diligence requests of Buyer. Seller shall cause Servicer to make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to cause Servicer or its agent to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets purchased in a Transaction, including, without limitation, ordering new Qualified Appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate such Purchased Asset and reviewing intercreditor agreements, property management agreements, formation documents of the property owners and their direct and indirect owners, financial statements, environmental and engineering reports, underlying title policies including owner’s and UCC-9 title insurance policies, legal opinions and other documents as may be mutually agreed among Seller and Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Servicer’s obligation to provide such due diligence to Buyer shall not preclude Buyer’s right to perform due diligence on the Purchased Assets prior to the Purchase Date and as necessary during the term of the Agreement, as determined by Buyer in is sole discretion, subject to the terms of the Commercial Mortgage Loan Documents. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree to 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 Parties or Servicer. Seller further agrees that it shall pay, to the extent Seller has received an invoice therefor, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer or its affiliates and designees in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 21.

SECTION 22. HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

Title to all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer may engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets or otherwise engage in pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, no such transaction shall be entered into with a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of Seller. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or Repurchase Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Buyer may distribute, subject to first obtaining a customary confidentiality agreement, to any prospective or actual repledgee this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any other document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

SECTION 23. ASSIGNABILITY

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may from time to time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to any Person pursuant to an executed assignment and acceptance by Buyer and assignee (“Assignment and Acceptance”), specifying the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, no such Assignment and Acceptance shall be entered into or discussed with a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of Seller. Upon such assignment, (a) such assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Facility Document to the extent of the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b) Buyer shall, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned by it be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents. Unless otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by ▇▇▇▇▇ in writing. Buyer may, subject to first obtaining a customary confidentiality agreement, distribute to any prospective or actual assignee this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any other document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

Buyer may, subject to first obtaining a customary confidentiality agreement, distribute to any prospective or actual participant this Agreement, the other Facility Documents, any other document or other information delivered to Buyer by Seller.

(c)          In the event Buyer assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement to add agency provisions similar to those included in repurchase agreements for similar syndicated repurchase facilities.

SECTION 24. TRANSFER AND MAINTENANCE OF REGISTER

(a)          Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 24, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement.

(b)          Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 23(a) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees and the amount of each assignee’s interest in this Agreement held by it and the Purchase Price (and stated Price Differential thereon) of the portion thereof which is the subject of the assignment (the

“Register”) Any assignment of an interest in this Agreement may be effected only upon the recordation of such assignment on the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such assignment for all purposes of the Facility Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the parties at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)          The Seller agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9 and 10 hereof (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 10(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10(e) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)) to the same extent as if it were a Buyer and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 23 hereof; provided, that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 9 or 10 hereof, 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 a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and, with respect to each such participant, the Purchase Price (and stated Price Differential thereon) of the portion thereof which is the subject of the participation, and any other interest in the obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no party 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 obligations under any Facility Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in “registered form” for applicable U.S. federal income tax purposes. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the participating party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 25. TAX TREATMENT

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal income taxes and all relevant state and local income and franchise taxes, to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and that the Seller will be treated as the beneficial owner of the Purchased Assets in the absence of a Default or Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to treat and report the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on and in any and all filings with any U.S. federal or applicable state or local taxing authority and to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by an applicable Requirement of Law as evidenced by a change in the applicable statutes, regulations or administrative rulings by the IRS or any judicial authority.

SECTION 26. TERMINABILITY

Each representation and warranty made or deemed to be made by entering into a Transaction, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived any Default that may arise because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or misleading, notwithstanding that Buyer may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Transaction was made. The obligations of Seller under Section 17 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 27. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

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.
