THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.01 Procedures.

(a) From time to time during the Funding Period, but not more frequently than three times per calendar week, Seller may request that Buyer enter into a proposed Transaction by sending Buyer a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“Transaction Request”) (i) describing the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related Underlying Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmitting a complete Underwriting Package for each proposed Asset, and (iii) specifying which (if any) of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement (including in Schedule 1) Seller will be unable to make with respect to such Asset. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer. Buyer shall conduct such review of the Underwriting Package and each such Asset as Buyer determines appropriate. Buyer shall determine whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of all such representations and warranties and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting Package, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting Package will only be acceptable to Buyer if disclosed in writing to Buyer by Seller in advance of the related Purchase Date, and then only if Buyer opts to purchase the related Asset from Seller notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies.

(b) Buyer shall give Seller notice of the date when Buyer has received a complete Underwriting Package and supplemental materials. Buyer shall endeavor to communicate to Seller a preliminary non-binding determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions, within ten (10) Business Days of such date. Buyer shall endeavor to communicate to Seller a final non-binding determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets and if so, on what terms and conditions, within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of all supplemental due diligence documents and information as Buyer may request. If Buyer has not communicated its final non-binding indication to Seller by such date, Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase any such Asset.

(c) If Buyer, in its discretion, communicates to Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an executed preliminary Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Asset and its proposed Purchase Date, Market Value, Applicable Percentage, Purchase Price and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require. If Buyer requires changes to the preliminary Confirmation, Seller shall make such changes as are acceptable to Seller, and if acceptable to Seller, re-execute the preliminary Confirmation. If Buyer, in its discretion, determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the preliminary Confirmation, Buyer shall notify Seller that it intends to purchase such Asset on the Purchase Date. Buyer shall execute and return the Confirmation to Seller on the Purchase Date, which shall thereupon become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction. Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Asset on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not (i) be bound by any preliminary or final non-binding determination referred to above, or (ii) be obligated to purchase an Asset notwithstanding a Confirmation executed by the Parties unless and until all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer.

(d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. Whenever the Applicable Percentage or any other term of a Transaction (other than the Pricing Rate, Market Value and outstanding Purchase Price) with respect to an Asset is revised or adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such revision or adjustment and that is otherwise acceptable to the Parties shall be prepared by Seller and executed by the Parties.

(e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Asset or Purchased Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise with respect to any representations or warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Asset or Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset.

(f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction would be later than the Facility Termination Date, or (iii) after giving effect to such Transaction, the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions then outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount. No Asset shall be a Table Funded Purchased Asset unless Buyer consents to such.

Section 3.02 Transfer of Purchased Assets. On the Purchase Date for each Purchased Asset, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6, (a) ownership of and title to such Purchased Asset shall be transferred to and vest in Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the account of Seller specified in Annex 2 (or, if not specified therein, in the related Confirmation or as directed by Seller), and (b) Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest (but no Retained Interests) in and to such Purchased Asset, subject to the repurchase right set forth in this Agreement. Subject to this Agreement, during the Funding Period, Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but Seller may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Buyer has the right to designate the servicer and sub-servicer (if any) of the Purchased Assets and, as of the Closing Date, Buyer will appoint ▇▇▇▇▇ as Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and Article 17. 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 (x) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (y) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Documents.

Section 3.03 [Reserved].

Section 3.04 Maximum Amount. The aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets as of any date shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. If such aggregate outstanding Purchase Price exceeds the Maximum Amount, Seller shall pay within one (1) Business Day to Buyer an amount necessary to reduce such aggregate outstanding Purchase Price to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Amount.

Section 3.05 Early Repurchase Date; Mandatory Repurchases.

(a) Seller may terminate any Transaction (or make a partial reduction of outstanding Purchase Price with respect to a Transaction) with respect to any or all Purchased Assets and repurchase such Purchased Assets on any date prior to the related Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, that (i) Seller notifies Buyer in writing at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as Buyer may agree) before the proposed Early Repurchase Date identifying the Purchased Asset(s) to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price thereof, (ii) Seller delivers an officer’s certificate from a Responsible Officer of Seller in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer certifying, and Buyer shall further determine, that no Default or Event of Default exists or will exist as a result of such repurchase and no Margin Deficit is outstanding that will not be eliminated after giving effect to any such early repurchase, (iii) if the Early Repurchase Date is not a Remittance Date, Seller pays to Buyer any amount due under Section 12.03, (iv) Seller pays to Buyer any Exit Fee and/or Release Amount due in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Documents, and (v) Seller thereafter complies with Section 3.06. Such early terminations and repurchases shall be limited to three (3) occurrences in any calendar week.

(b) In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under any Repurchase Document, Seller shall within three (3) Business Days repurchase any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset, as determined by Buyer.

Section 3.06 Repurchase.

(a) On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset (or in connection with repayment in full of a Mortgage Note by the related Underlying Obligor), Seller shall transfer to Buyer (or, in connection with repayment in full of a Mortgage Note by the related Underlying Obligor, to Servicer, on Buyer’s behalf) the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of the Repurchase Date, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless the repurchase cures the Default or Event of Default), Buyer shall transfer to Seller such Purchased Asset whereupon the Transaction with respect to such Purchased Asset shall terminate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Asset, shall authorize Custodian, in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, to release to Seller the Mortgage Loan Documents for such Purchased Asset and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against Seller specifically identifies such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset from Buyer’s security interest therein. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Asset, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by (i) Buyer’s actions or inactions or, (ii) in the event Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇ or an Affiliate of Buyer, the actions or inactions of Servicer. The portion of any Release Amount paid in connection with the repurchase of a Purchased Asset that is in excess of the then current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be applied to the outstanding Repurchase Obligations in such manner and order as Buyer may determine. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Buyer or Waterfall Account Bank after payment of the Repurchase Price therefor shall be remitted to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall repurchase all Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations.

(b) In the event the repurchase of a Purchased Asset occurs in connection with the full payoff of a Mortgage Note by the Underlying Obligor, notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 5.02 to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall remit to Seller promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of the related Income from Servicer) any Income remaining from such Purchased Asset after the payment in full of the related Repurchase Price for the Purchased Asset being repaid.

(c) At any time during the existence of a Default, Event of Default or unsatisfied Margin Deficit, Seller shall not repurchase a Purchased Asset unless the Repurchase Price (including any Release Amount) for such Purchased Asset is paid directly to Buyer. The portion of all such proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.02 or 5.03, as applicable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit Seller from selling an Asset to Buyer on the Repurchase Date for a Purchased Asset so long as Seller complies with the provisions of Section 3.01 and Buyer consents to the purchase of any such Asset.

Section 3.07 Extension of the Facility Termination Date. At the written request of Seller delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) or later than thirty (30) days before the Initial Facility Termination Date or the First Extended Facility Termination Date (defined below), as applicable, Seller shall have two (2) options to extend the Facility Termination Date, the first for an additional one year term ending on the anniversary date of the Initial Facility Termination Date (the “First Extended Facility Termination Date”) and the second for an additional one year term ending on the anniversary date of the First Extended Facility Termination Date (the “Second Extended Facility Termination Date” and, together with the First Extended Facility Termination Date, the “Extended Facility Termination Date”). The extension of the Initial Facility Termination Date and the First Extended Facility Termination Date shall be subject to the following: (a) no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of the request to extend or the current Facility Termination Date, (b) no Margin Call has been made that has not been satisfied on the current Facility Termination Date (provided Buyer shall permit a temporary extension until the related Margin Correction Deadline to permit Seller time to cure any unsatisfied Margin Call), (c) Seller shall have made a timely request to extend, (d) the Debt Yield for all Purchased Assets (on a combined basis) is at least equal to the Required Portfolio Debt Yield Percentage, (e) the Debt Yield for each Purchased Asset is at least equal to the Required Debt Yield Percentage applicable to that Purchased Asset, (f) the PPV for each Purchased Asset is not greater than the Required PPV Percentage, and (g) Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Extension Fee on or before the then current Facility Termination Date.

Section 3.08 Payment of Price Differential and Fees.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued value of the Price Differential for each Purchased Asset on each Remittance Date. Buyer shall give Seller notice of the Price Differential and any fees and other amounts due under the Repurchase Documents on or prior to the Determination Date preceding each Remittance Date; provided, that Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice shall not affect Seller’s obligation to pay such amounts. If the Price Differential includes any estimated Price Differential, Buyer shall recalculate such Price Differential after the Remittance Date and, if necessary, make adjustments to the Price Differential amount due on the following Remittance Date.

(b) Seller shall pay to Buyer all fees (including, without limitation, the Structuring Fee, the Extension Fee and the Non-Utilization Fee) and other amounts as and when due as set forth in the Fee Letter.

Section 3.09 Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor, Servicer or any other Person under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms thereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due, in immediately available Dollars and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim, and, if not received before such time, shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment under the Repurchase Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment. Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, pay to Buyer interest in connection with any amounts not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents, which interest shall be calculated at a rate equal to the Default Rate, until all such amounts are received in full by Buyer. Amounts payable to Buyer and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Waterfall Account shall be deposited into an account of Buyer. Seller shall have no rights in, rights of withdrawal from, or rights to give notices or instructions regarding Buyer’s account, the Servicer Account or the Waterfall Account other than the right to receive amounts in such accounts as expressly set forth herein.

(b) Any Mortgage Loan Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian under the Custodial Agreement are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its agent for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof and, to the extent such Mortgage Loan Documents are required to be delivered to Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, such Mortgage Loan Documents shall be promptly delivered to Custodian in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the originals of the Mortgage Loan Documents not required to be delivered to Buyer or Custodian under the terms of the Custodial Agreement. The possession of Mortgage Loan Documents by Seller or its agent is in a custodial capacity only at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of assisting Servicer with the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan Document retained or held by Seller or its agent shall be segregated on Seller’s books and records from the other assets of Seller or its agent, and the books and records of Seller or its agent shall be marked to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer on a servicing-released basis. Seller or its agent shall release its custody of such Mortgage Loan Document only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller, in each case, in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

Section 3.10 Repurchase Obligations Absolute. All amounts payable by Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid without notice (except as expressly set forth in the Repurchase Documents), demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (a) any damage to, destruction of, taking of, restriction or prevention of the use of, interference with the use of, title defect in, encumbrance on or eviction from, any Purchased Asset, the Pledged Collateral or any related Underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to Seller, Guarantor, Pledgor or any Underlying Obligor, or any action taken with respect to any Repurchase Document or Mortgage Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, Guarantor, Pledgor or any Underlying Obligor or by any court in any such proceeding, (c) any claim that Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor has or might have against Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise, (d) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document or other agreement with Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Asset, Repurchase Document or Mortgage Loan Document, or (f) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor has notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller. This Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the indefeasible payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Amount, a “Margin Deficit”), Buyer may in its discretion give Seller notice of the Deficit Amount in connection with any such Margin Deficit. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may, in its discretion, reallocate such Margin Deficit (a “Reallocation”) by increasing the Purchase Price for one or more other Purchased Assets (such Purchased Assets and the amounts of such increases to be determined by Buyer) so long as (i) such Reallocations do not result in a Default, an Event of Default or a Margin Deficit with respect to any other Purchased Asset as determined by Buyer and (ii) as a result of such Reallocations, (A) no Purchased Asset shall have a PPV in excess of the Required PPV Percentage, as determined by Buyer, (B) each Purchased Asset must have a Debt Yield at least equal to the Required Debt Yield Percentage, as determined by Buyer, (C) the Debt Yield for all Purchased Assets (on a combiReallocation, and (E) the Concentration Limits shall not be exceeded for any Purchased Asset; provided, however, in no event shall Buyer increase the Purchase Price for a Purchased Asset with an outstanding Margin Deficit. In connection with any such Reallocation or payment of a Margin Deficit, Seller shall execute new Confirmations promptly following request of Buyer. Seller understands and acknowledges that Reallocations may not be possible or, if possible, may not fully eliminate the Margin Deficit and that the manner, method and all other factors relating to such Reallocation are in Buyer’s discretion.

(b) If a Reallocation does not occur or, if a Reallocation occurred but the same did not fully eliminate the Margin Deficit, then Buyer may make a margin call (a “Margin Call”) on Seller for the remaining Margin Deficit. If Buyer determines to make a Margin Call on Seller to correct the Margin Deficit, Seller shall, within one (1) Business Day after notice from Buyer (the “Margin Correction Deadline”), transfer cash to Buyer in an amount necessary to eliminate such Margin Deficit or repurchase the Purchased Asset(s) which resulted in the Margin Call.

(c) Failure to satisfy any Margin Deficit by the Margin Correction Deadline shall result in an Event of Default under this Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer may require the elimination of a Margin Deficit with respect to a single Purchased Asset or multiple Purchased Assets.

(e) Buyer’s election not to give notice of a Margin Deficit or otherwise make a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not waive the Margin Deficit or in any way limit or impair Buyer’s right to deliver a Margin Deficit notice at any time when the same or any other Margin Deficit exists. Buyer’s rights under this Section 4.01 are in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents or Requirements of Law.

(f) Except as otherwise required by Buyer, all cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.01 with respect to a Purchased Asset shall be deposited into the Waterfall Account and, notwithstanding any provision in Section 5.02 to the contrary, shall be applied to reduce the Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset(s) to which the Margin Deficit relates.

Seller has no Guarantee Obligations.

Section 7.02 Repurchase Documents. Each Repurchase Document to which Seller is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each Repurchase Document to which it is a party do not and will not (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any (i) Governing Document, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation applicable to Seller or any of its properties or assets, (ii) Requirements of Law, or (iii) approval, consent, judgment, decree, order or demand of any Governmental Authority, or (b) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the properties or assets of Seller.

Unless notice is given to Buyer from time to time, there is no material litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Seller threatened, against Seller or any other Repurchase Party before any Governmental Authority (a) asserting the invalidity of any Repurchase Document, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any Transaction, or (c) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.03 Solvency. Neither Seller nor any other Repurchase Party is or has ever been the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. Seller and each other Repurchase Party is Solvent and the transactions contemplated under the terms of the Repurchase Documents do not and will not render Seller or any other Repurchase Party not Solvent. Seller is not entering into the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller or any other Repurchase Party. Seller has received or will receive reasonably equivalent value for the Purchased Assets.

properties or assets, which have become due and payable, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller and each other Repurchase Party have paid, or have provided adequate reserves for the payment of, all such taxes for all prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to date. There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim relating to any such taxes now pending, or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened, by any Governmental Authority which is not being contested in good faith as provided above. Neither Seller nor any other Repurchase Party has entered into any agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into any agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Seller or any other Repurchase Party not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. No tax Liens (other than Permitted Liens) have been filed against any property or assets of Seller or any other Repurchase Party. Seller does not intend to treat any Transaction as being a “reportable transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011–4.

Seller has complied in all material respects with all requirements of the Custodial Agreement with respect to each Purchased Asset, including delivery to Custodian of all required Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 7.11 Transfer and Security Interest. The Repurchase Documents constitute a valid and effective transfer to Buyer of all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under all Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens), subject to the terms of this Agreement. With respect to the protective security interest granted by Seller in Section 11.01, upon the delivery of the Confirmations and the Mortgage Loan Documents to Custodian, the execution and delivery of the Controlled Account Agreement and, if applicable, the Account Control Agreement, and the filing of the UCC financing statements as provided herein, such security interest shall be a valid first priority perfected security interest to the extent such security interest can be perfected by possession, filing or control under the UCC, subject only to Permitted Liens. Upon receipt by Custodian of each Mortgage Loan Document required to be endorsed in blank by Seller and payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price for the related Purchased Asset, Buyer shall either own such Purchased Asset and the related Mortgage Loan Documents or have a valid first priority perfected security interest in such Mortgage Loan Documents. The Purchased Assets constitute one or more of the following, as defined in the UCC: a general intangible, instrument, account, investment property, security, deposit account, financial asset, uncertificated security, securities account, securities entitlement and/or chattel paper.

ARTICLE 8

COVENANTS OF SELLER

From the date hereof until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and the Repurchase Documents are terminated, Seller shall perform and observe the following covenants, which shall (a) be given independent effect (so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any covenant, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to or be otherwise within the limitations of another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists) and (b) also apply to all Subsidiaries of Seller:

Section 8.01 Existence; Governing Documents; Conduct of Business. Seller shall (a) preserve and maintain its legal existence, (b) qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) comply with its Governing Documents, including all special purpose entity provisions, and (d) not materially modify, amend or terminate its Governing Documents without Buyer’s prior written consent. Seller shall (a) continue to engage in the same (and no other) general lines of business as presently conducted by it, (b) maintain and preserve all of its material rights, privileges, licenses and franchises necessary for the operation of its business, and (c) maintain Seller’s status as a qualified transferee, qualified institutional lender or qualified lender (however defined) under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Seller shall not (a) change its name, organizational number, tax identification number, fiscal year, method of accounting, identity, structure or jurisdiction of organization (or have more than one such jurisdiction), move the location of its principal place of business and chief executive office (as defined in the UCC) from the location referred to in Section 7.01, without delivery of notice to Buyer, or (b) move, or consent to Custodian moving, the Mortgage Loan Documents from the location thereof on the Closing Date, unless in each case Seller has given at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer and has taken all actions required under the UCC to continue the first priority perfected security interest of Buyer in the Purchased Assets. Seller shall enter into each Transaction as principal, unless Buyer agrees before a Transaction that Seller may enter into such Transaction as agent for a principal and under terms and conditions disclosed to Buyer.

Section 8.02 Compliance with Laws, Contractual Obligations and Repurchase Documents. Seller shall comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law, including those relating to any Purchased Asset, and to the reporting and payment of taxes. No part of the proceeds of any Transaction shall be used for any purpose that violates Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Seller shall conduct the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination or acquisition of each Asset for purposes of complying with the Anti–Terrorism Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Underlying Obligor and the origin of the assets used by such Person to purchase the Underlying Mortgaged Property, and will maintain sufficient information to identify such Person for purposes of the Anti–Terrorism Laws. Seller shall maintain the Custodial Agreement and Controlled Account Agreement in full force and effect.

Section 8.03 Protection of Buyer’s Interest in Purchased Assets. With respect to each Purchased Asset, Seller shall take all action necessary or required by the Repurchase Documents, Mortgage Loan Documents or Requirements of Law, or requested by Buyer, to perfect, protect and more fully evidence the security interest granted in the

Purchase Agreements and Buyer’s ownership of and first priority perfected security interest in the Purchased Assets and related Mortgage Loan Documents, including executing or causing to be executed (a) such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or appropriate and filing and maintaining effective UCC financing statements, continuation statements and assignments and amendments thereto, and (b) all documents necessary to both collaterally and absolutely and unconditionally assign all rights (but none of the obligations) of Seller under each Purchase Agreement, in each case, as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of each of the Repurchase Obligations. Seller (or Servicer, on Seller’s behalf) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Underlying Obligors to perform their obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Seller shall (a) not assign, sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, grant, create, incur, assume or suffer or permit to exist any security interest in or Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Purchased Asset to or in favor of any Person other than Buyer, (b) defend such Purchased Asset against, and take such action as is necessary to remove, any such Lien (other than a Permitted Lien), and (c) defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in and to all Purchased Assets against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller grants a Lien on any Purchased Asset in violation of this Section 8.03 or any other Repurchase 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 materially amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any Purchase Agreement relating to any Purchased Asset without the consent of Buyer. Seller shall not, or permit Servicer to, (i) extend, amend, waive, terminate, rescind, cancel, release or otherwise modify (x) the material terms of or (y) any collateral, guaranty or indemnity for, or (ii) exercise any material right or remedy of a holder (including all lending, corporate and voting rights, remedies, consents, approvals and waivers) of, any Purchased Asset or Mortgage Loan Document except as otherwise provided in Article 17. 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 immediately delivered to Custodian on behalf of Buyer, together with endorsements required by Buyer.

Section 8.04 Actions of Seller Relating to Distributions, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligations, Contractual Obligations and Liens. Seller shall not declare or make any payment on account of, or set apart assets for, a sinking or similar fund for the purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interest of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash or property or in obligations of Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor; provided, that Seller may declare and pay dividends in accordance with its Governing Documents if no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result thereof. Seller shall not contract, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligations, Contractual Obligations or Investments, except to the extent (a) arising or existing under the Repurchase Documents, (b) incurred after the Closing Date to originate or acquire Assets or to provide funding with respect to Assets, and (c) related to Interest Rate Protection Agreements to the extent required by Section 8.09 or entered into in order to manage risks related to Assets.

(i) Seller shall not permit, for any Test Period, the ratio of its EBITDA to its Interest Expense to be less than 1.50 to 1.00.

(ii) At all times, Guarantor shall maintain unencumbered Liquidity of not less than the Required Liquidity Amount.

(iii) At all times, Guarantor shall have a minimum GAAP stockholders’ equity capital equal to the Required Capital Amount.

(iv) Guarantor shall not permit, for any Test Period, the ratio of its Total Indebtedness to its Total Equity to be greater than 6.00 to 1.00. For the avoidance of doubt, any calculation of Total Indebtedness will include any and all recourse and non-recourse debt of any Consolidated Subsidiary of Guarantor.

(v) Guarantor shall not permit, for any Test Period, the ratio of its Adjusted Total Indebtedness to its Total Equity to be greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

(vi) Guarantor shall not permit, for any Test Period, the ratio of (i) the sum of EBITDA for Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such Test Period to (ii) Fixed Charges for Guarantor and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such Test Period to be less than 2.00 to 1.00.

(b) If Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries has or incurs additional Indebtedness, or, on or after the Closing Date, amends, or permits any of its Subsidiaries to amend, the documentation for any such Indebtedness, so as to either (i) require or incorporate additional financial covenants on Guarantor (beyond those set forth in this Section 8.05), or (ii) amend covenants of the type set forth in this Section 8.05 in such a way as to make any such covenant more restrictive than provided for herein, Seller and Guarantor shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter) notify Buyer of such occurrence and such revised and/or additional financial covenants shall automatically be incorporated by reference into this Agreement without the need for further action by any party whatsoever (provided, however, Buyer may require that Seller amend this Agreement to reflect such changes). Thereafter, Buyer shall have a separate and independent right to enforce such revised and/or additional covenants.

Section 8.06 Delivery of Income. Seller shall, pursuant to Irrevocable Redirection Notices, direct the Underlying Obligors and all other applicable Persons (including any bank or financial institution holding any Income under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to deposit all Income payable to Seller as lender or holder under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents for the Purchased Assets into an account held by the Servicer or the Waterfall Account on the day the related payments are due, payable or required or permitted to be disbursed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. Within five (5) Business Days of the related Purchase Date, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer an Irrevocable Redirection Notice with respect to each Purchased Asset, fully executed by each Underlying Obligor or other applicable Person. In no event shall Seller direct any Underlying Obligor with respect to a Purchased Asset to direct funds to any account other than the Waterfall Account or an account held by Servicer (so long as Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇). To the extent Seller or any Affiliate of Seller receives any Income directly, Seller or such Affiliate shall hold

such Income in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller and its Affiliates, until delivered to the Waterfall Account or an account of the Servicer (so long as the Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇) in accordance with the terms hereof. Seller shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, such amounts into the Servicer Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. Seller shall cause Servicer to remit all Income (other than amounts permitted to be withheld by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) in the Servicer Account to the Waterfall Account within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof (provided, however, if the Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇ or an Affiliate thereof, then the Servicer shall only be required to remit to the Waterfall Account once each month, on the date set forth in the Servicing Agreement and the failure of the Servicer to make such remittance shall not be an Event of Default hereunder). Seller shall (a) comply with and enforce each Irrevocable Redirection Notice, (b) not amend, modify, waive, terminate or revoke any Irrevocable Redirection Notice without Buyer’s prior written consent, (c) take all reasonable steps to enforce each Irrevocable Redirection Notice and (d) shall obtain such additional executed Irrevocable Redirection Notices as may be required to ensure all Income is directed to the Servicer (if the Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇) or the Waterfall Account. In connection with each Principal Payment or prepayment under a Purchased Asset, Seller shall provide or cause to be provided to Buyer sufficient detail to enable Buyer to identify the Purchased Asset to which such payment applies. If Seller receives any rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for any Purchased Assets, or otherwise in respect thereof, Seller shall accept the same as Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for Buyer and immediately deliver the same to Buyer or its designee in the exact form received, together with duly executed instruments of transfer, stock powers or assignment in blank and such other documentation as Buyer shall reasonably request. Neither Seller nor any Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the Waterfall Account cash or cash proceeds other than Income or other payments required to be deposited therein under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 8.07 Delivery of Financial Statements and Other Information. Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the following to Buyer, as soon as available and in any event within the time periods specified:

(c) all reports submitted to Seller or Guarantor by independent certified public accountants in connection with each annual, interim or special audit of the books and records of Seller or Guarantor made by such accountants, including any management letter commenting on Seller’s or Guarantor’s internal controls;

Section 8.08 Delivery of Notices. Seller shall promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify Buyer of the occurrence of any of the following of which Seller or any other Repurchase Party has knowledge, together with a certificate of a Responsible Officer of Seller setting forth details of such occurrence and any action Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto:

All such hedging transactions shall, at all times, be with a Hedge Counterparty and be fully cash-collateralized. All floating rate Purchased Assets shall have an Interest Rate Protection Agreement capping the interest payable in respect of such Asset in place for so long as such Asset is outstanding. In the event that an Underlying Obligor enters into any Interest Rate Protection Agreement(s) in connection with any Purchased Asset, Seller shall take such actions as Buyer deems reasonably necessary to perfect the security interest granted in each Interest Rate Protection Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01. Furthermore, in the event that Seller or any Underlying Obligor enters into any Interest Rate Protection Agreement with respect to a Purchased Asset pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, Seller shall cause the Hedge Counterparty to deliver an Irrevocable Redirection Notice (or other direction reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) acknowledging that all payments with respect to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement should be made to the Waterfall Account.

Section 8.10 Pledge and Security Agreement. Seller shall not take any direct or indirect action inconsistent with the Pledge and Security Agreement or the security interest granted thereunder to Buyer in the Pledged Collateral.

Section 10.02 Remedies of Buyer as Owner of the Purchased Assets. If an Event of Default exists, at the option of Buyer, exercised by notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to be exercised, even if no notice is given, automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f)), the Repurchase Date for all Purchased Assets shall be deemed automatically and immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to be exercised, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the foregoing option:

(a) All Repurchase Obligations shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date.

(b) All amounts in the Waterfall Account and all Income paid after the Accelerated Repurchase Date shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5.

(c) To the extent not already completed and recorded, Buyer may complete any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Mortgage Loan Documents and other instruments, certificates and documents then held by Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Files, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or any Servicer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request.

(d) (i) Buyer may following one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to Seller, sell such Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and/or without providing any representations and warranties on an “as-is where is” basis in a recognized market and by means of a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer accepts, and apply the net proceeds thereof in accordance with Article 5, or (ii) Buyer may, one (1) Business Day after the Accelerated Repurchase Date (or anytime thereafter), retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit against the Repurchase Price

for such Purchased Assets (or if the amount of such credit exceeds the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets, to credit against Repurchase Obligations due and any other amounts then owing to Buyer by any other Person pursuant to any Repurchase Document, in such order and in such amounts as determined by Buyer), in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets. Until such time as Buyer exercises either such remedy with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer may hold such Purchased Asset for its own account and retain all Income with respect thereto and apply such Income in accordance with Article 5.

(e) The Parties agree that the Purchased Assets are of such a nature that they may decline rapidly in value, and may not have a ready or liquid market. Accordingly, Buyer shall not be required to sell more than one Purchased Asset on a particular Business Day, to the same purchaser or in the same manner. Buyer may determine whether, when and in what manner a Purchased Asset shall be sold, it being agreed that both a good faith public and a good faith private sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Buyer shall not be required to give notice to Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. If no prior notice is given, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of the remedies exercised by Buyer promptly thereafter.

(f) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) any amount by which the Repurchase Obligations due to Buyer exceed the aggregate of the net proceeds and credits referred to in the preceding clause (d), (ii) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (iii) any costs and losses payable under Section 12.03, and (iv) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(g) Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, an order of specific performance or other equitable relief to compel Seller to fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in the Repurchase Documents, including this Article 10, if Seller fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth herein or therein.

(h) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for purposes of carrying out the Repurchase Documents, including executing, endorsing and recording any instruments or documents and taking any other actions that Buyer deems necessary or advisable to accomplish such purposes, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable, provided, however, Buyer shall have no rights to exercise its power of attorney prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

(i) Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, exercise any or all of its set-off rights including those set forth in Section 18.17. This Section 10.02(i) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which Buyer is at any time otherwise entitled.

(j) All rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, including those set forth in Section 18.17, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have and may be exercised at any time when an Event of Default exists. Such rights and remedies may be enforced without prior judicial process or hearing. Seller agrees 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. Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process or otherwise arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or any other election of remedies.

ARTICLE 11

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 11.01 Grant. Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions shall be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, to preserve and protect Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and under the Repurchase Documents in the event that any Governmental Authority recharacterizes the Transactions as other than sales, and as security for Seller’s performance of the Repurchase Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof), and the transfers of the Purchased Assets to Buyer shall be deemed to constitute and confirm such grant, to secure the payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations (including the obligation of Seller to pay the Repurchase Price, or if the Transactions are recharacterized as loans, to repay such loans for the Repurchase Price).

Section 11.02 Effect of Grant. If any circumstance described in Section 11.01 occurs, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement as defined in the UCC, (b) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the Repurchase Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its agents, including Custodian, of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The assignment, pledge and grant of security interest contained herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) each Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and (y) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Asset relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

Section 11.03 Seller to Remain Liable. The grant of a security interest under this Article 11 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Interest or other obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Asset, whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets and Mortgage Loan Documents to perform all of Seller’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not been executed.

Section 11.04 Waiver of Certain Laws. Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 12

INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Section 12.01 Market Disruption. If prior to any Pricing Period, Buyer determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Alternative Rate.

Section 12.02 Illegality. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Repurchase Documents, (a) any commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall be terminated and the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred, (b) the Pricing Rate shall be converted automatically to the Alternative Rate on the last day of the then current Pricing Period or within such earlier period as may be required by Requirements of Law, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred.

Section 12.03 Breakfunding. Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual, out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from (a) the failure by Seller to terminate any Transaction after Seller has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.05, (b) any payment to Buyer on account of the outstanding Repurchase Price, including a payment made pursuant to Section 3.05 but excluding a payment made pursuant to Section 5.02, on any day other than a Remittance Date (based on the assumption that Buyer funded its commitment with respect to the Transaction in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods that Buyer deems appropriate and practical), (c) any failure by Seller to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) any conversion of the Pricing Rate to the Alternative Rate because the LIBO Rate is not available for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Period.

Section 12.04 Increased Costs. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority 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 having jurisdiction over Buyer made after the date of this Agreement (a) shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Repurchase Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for income taxes and any changes in the rate of tax on Buyer’s overall net income), (b) 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, or (c) shall impose on Buyer any other condition; and the result of any of the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions, or to reduce any amount receivable under the Repurchase Documents in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that Buyer shall not treat Seller differently than other similarly situated customers in requiring the payment of such amount or amounts.

Section 12.05 Capital Adequacy. If Buyer determines that the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law 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 after the date of this Agreement has or 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, in any such case, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that Buyer shall not treat Seller differently than other similarly situated customers in requiring the payment of such amount or amounts.

Section 12.06 Withholding Taxes.

(a) All payments made by Seller to Buyer or any other Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents and by Underlying Obligors with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority therewith or thereon, excluding (i) net income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on net income by the United States, a state or a foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which Buyer or such other Indemnified Person is organized or of its applicable lending office, or a state or foreign jurisdiction with respect to which Buyer or such other Indemnified Person has a present or former connection, or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on “withholdable payments” made after December 31, 2012 on any advances of Purchase Price made after March 18, 2012, if Buyer is a “foreign financial institution” that fails to comply with the requirements of section 1471(b) of the Code or a “non-financial foreign entity” that fails to comply with section 1472(b) of the Code, each as in effect on the date hereof, or Treasury regulations or administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Taxes”), all of which shall be paid by Seller for its own account not later than the date when due. If any taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to Buyer and/or any other

Indemnified Person, then Seller shall (a) make such deduction or withholding, (b) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; and (c) pay to Buyer or other Indemnified Person such additional amounts (the “Additional Amount”) as may be necessary so that every net payment made under this Agreement after deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including any Taxes on such increase and any penalties) is not less than the amount that would have been paid absent such deduction or withholding. Promptly after Seller pays any taxes referred to in this Section 12.06, Seller will send Buyer appropriate evidence of such payment.

(b) In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes, transfer taxes and similar fees) imposed by the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of Taxes (including additional amounts with respect thereto) and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12.06(c), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses arising thereon or with respect thereto) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, provided that Buyer shall have provided Seller with evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be.

(d) If a Person acquires any of the rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, and such Person is not organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non–U.S. Person”), such Non–U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller on or before the date on which such Person becomes a party to this Agreement, two duly completed and executed copies of, as applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor forms thereto designated as such by the IRS. If the Non–U.S. Person is eligible for and wishes to claim exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax through benefit of a treaty, such Person shall deliver a Form W-8ECI. If the Non–U.S. Person is eligible for and wishes to claim exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” such Person shall deliver both the Form W-8BEN and a statement certifying that such Person is not a bank, a “10 percent shareholder” or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code. If any previously delivered form or statement becomes inaccurate with respect to the Non–U.S. Person that delivered it, the Non–U.S. Person shall promptly notify Seller of this fact.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival or any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 12.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 12.06 shall require Buyer to make available any of their tax returns or other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

Section 12.07 Payment and Survival of Repurchase Obligations. Buyer may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12, and Seller shall pay such amounts to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. The obligations of Seller under this Article 12 shall apply to Buyer, its successors and assigns and Participants and survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the indefeasible payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

affecting any Underlying Mortgaged Property by any Person or other source, whether related or unrelated to Seller or any Underlying Obligor, (6) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Lien on any Underlying Mortgaged Property with regard to, or as a result of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or pursuant to any Environmental Law, or (7) any isrepresentation or failure to perform any obligations pursuant to any Repurchase Document or Mortgage Loan Document relating to environmental matters in any way, (xiii) the term sheet or any business communications or dealings between the Parties relating thereto, or (xiv) Seller’s conduct, activities, actions and/or inactions in connection with, relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing clauses of this Section 13.01, that, in each case, results from anything whatsoever other than any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non–appealable judgment. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Underlying Obligor 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 Underlying Obligor from Seller. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.01 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Seller, an Indemnified Person or any other Person or any Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any Transaction is entered into.

(b) If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 13.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, even though such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the express terms hereof, then Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, the relative fault of such Indemnified Person, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

(c) An Indemnified Person may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of Indemnified Amounts, and Seller shall pay such Indemnified Amounts to such Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. The obligations of Seller under this Section 13.01 shall apply to all Persons to which this Agreement is assigned and Participants and survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the indefeasible payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

ARTICLE 14

INTENT

Section 14.01 Safe Harbor.

Section 14.03 Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The Parties acknowledge and agree that if a Party is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in 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).

The Parties acknowledge and agree 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, as amended (“FDICIA”), and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction 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).

SERVICING

This Article 17 shall apply to all Purchased Assets.

Section 17.01 Servicing Rights. Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to hire or otherwise engage any Person (including Buyer) at Seller’s expense to service or sub-service all or part of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that if Buyer decides that a Person other than ▇▇▇▇▇ is to act as Servicer, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any successor servicer selected by Buyer shall be subject to the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and such Person shall have only such obligations with respect to such Purchased Assets as are designated by Buyer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Buyer agrees with Seller as follows with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Assets:

(a) As of the Closing Date, Buyer will appoint ▇▇▇▇▇ as Servicer in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Article 17. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer will enter into, and cause Servicer to enter into, the Servicing Agreement, and Seller will enter into the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall service the Purchased Assets on behalf of Buyer.

(b) Seller shall cause Servicer to comply with all of Servicer’s obligations under the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligations to provide such reports and information with respect to the Purchased Assets as required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement or as otherwise requested by Buyer. Seller may not assign its rights or delegate its duties and obligations under the Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(c) Seller shall not, and shall not direct or permit Servicer to, (i) take any Material Action without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) take any action which would result in a violation of the obligations of any Person under the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, or which would otherwise be inconsistent with the rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents or (iii) take any actions after a Default or Event of Default. Seller shall be permitted to make decisions and direct Servicer with respect to any action with respect to the Purchased Assets other than any Material Action without Buyer’s consent provided that, at the time of such decisions, there is no Default or Event of Default and Seller provides Buyer with documentation thereof in connection with any such decisions.

(d) The servicing fee payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement. Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees and expenses of Servicer.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies of Buyer and Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents, for the avoidance of doubt, the right, if any, of Seller to direct the servicing of and make any decisions with respect to the Purchased Assets shall immediately and automatically cease to exist.

Section 17.02 Accounts Related to Purchased Assets. All accounts directly related to the Purchased Assets shall be maintained at institutions in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the existing Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement; provided, however, that if any institution in which such accounts are currently held is not reasonably acceptable to Buyer, then at Buyer’s request, Seller shall cause the Underlying Obligor to enter into the contractual arrangements with Buyer and Seller that are necessary in order to create a perfected security interest in favor of Buyer in all such accounts, including, without limitation, an account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

Section 17.03 Servicing Reports. Seller shall deliver and cause Servicer to deliver to Buyer and Custodian a monthly remittance report on or before two (2) Business Days prior to the Remittance Date containing servicing information, including those fields reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time, on an asset-by-asset basis and in the aggregate, with respect to the Purchased Assets serviced by Servicer for the month (or any portion thereof) before the date of such report.

Section 17.04 Modification of Servicing Agreements. Seller shall not and shall not permit the Servicer to amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of the Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in its discretion).

Section 17.05. Event of Default. If Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is servicing a Purchased Asset and an Event of Default exists, Buyer shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate the Servicing Agreement with Seller or such Affiliate and transfer servicing of such Purchased Asset to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer. If a Person other than Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is servicing a Purchased Asset, Buyer shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate the Servicing Agreement with such Person and transfer servicing of such Purchased Asset to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that Seller will pay any reasonable, actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses required to terminate such Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Buyer or its designee.

No other Person shall be entitled to any benefit, right, power, remedy or claim under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.08 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Seller shall not sell, assign, delegate or transfer any of its rights, the Repurchase Obligations or any other duties or obligations under this Agreement or the other Repurchase Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer, and any attempt by Seller to do so without such consent shall be null and void.

(b) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of or notice to Seller, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, Seller or any Affiliate of Seller) (a “Participant”) in all or any portion of Buyer’s rights and/or obligations under the Repurchase Documents; provided, that (A) Buyer’s obligations under the Repurchase Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of such obligations, and (C) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents.

Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c), but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment thereunder than Buyer would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Seller’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(j) and 18.17 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c) and in the case of the benefits of Section 12.06(a), if such Participant is a Non–U.S. Person, such Participant shall be subject to the requirements and limitations under Section 12.06(b).

(c) Buyer may at any time, with notice to Seller, sell and assign to any Person all or any portion of the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall not assign to any Person that is a Sponsor Competitor without the prior written consent of Seller, provided, further, in the event of any assignment by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its capacity as Buyer, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and ▇▇▇▇▇ has not commenced the exercise of its remedies in accordance with Section 10.02 hereof, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall (x) act as agent for all Buyers and the point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇ and such assignees, which provisions, subject to the preceding clause, shall be for the sole benefit of Buyers and shall not be subject to any consent or approval of Seller (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) and (y) shall retain all rights to approve any Transaction entered into after the date of assignment, declare an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document and make (and determine the amount of) Margin Calls, and Seller shall not be required to deal with any assignee with respect to Seller’s performance under this Agreement. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) such Person shall be a Party and, to the extent provided therein, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it, (ii) Buyer shall, to the extent provided therein, be released from such obligations (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall cease to be a Party), (iii) the obligations of Buyer shall be deemed to be so reduced, and (iv) Buyer will give prompt written notice thereof (including identification of the assignee and the amount of Repurchase Price allocated to it) to each Party (but Buyer shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice). Any sale or assignment by Buyer of rights or obligations under the Repurchase Documents that does not comply with this Section 18.08(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Repurchase Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18.08(b).

(d) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such sale and assignment of participations or assignments and shall enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents to give effect to any such sale or assignment; provided, that none of the foregoing shall change any economic or other material term of the Repurchase Documents in a manner adverse to Seller without the consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, the cost and expense of any such sale or assignment shall be borne by Buyer.

(e) Buyer shall have the right to partially or completely syndicate and or all of its rights under the Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents to any Person.

Section 18.09 Ownership and Hypothecation of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to and vest in Buyer on the applicable Purchase Dates and, subject to the terms of the Repurchase Documents, Buyer or its designee shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and be entitled to exercise all rights, privileges and options relating to the Purchased Assets as the owner thereof, including rights of subscription, conversion, exchange, substitution, voting, consent and approval, and to direct any servicer or trustee. Buyer or its designee may engage in

repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Buyer may determine; provided, that no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction, pledge, hypothecation or rehypothecation.

Section 18.10 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or required by Requirements of Law, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Assets, the Mortgage Loan Documents or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between the Parties in connection with any Repurchase Document, or (g) to any actual or prospective Participant, assignee, pledge transferee or Hedge Counterparty which agrees to comply with this Section 18.10; provided, that no such disclosure made with respect to any Repurchase Document shall include a copy of such Repurchase Document to the extent a summary would suffice, and any such disclosure shall redact all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein to the extent such disclosure can be satisfied by a redacted copy of such Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.11 No Implied Waivers; Amendments. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy under the Repurchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy thereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies in the Repurchase Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by Requirements of Law. Application of the Default Rate after an Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate is applied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Repurchase Documents, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Repurchase Documents shall be effective without the signed agreement of Seller and Buyer. Any waiver or consent under the Repurchase Documents shall be effective only if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 18.12 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and sent prepaid by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail, by expedited commercial or postal delivery service, or by facsimile or email if also sent by one of the foregoing, to the address for such Party specified in Annex 1 or such other address as such Party shall specify from time to time in a notice to the other Party. Any of the foregoing communications shall be effective when delivered on a Business Day (or if not a Business Day, on the next Business Day thereafter). A Party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.12 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

Section 18.13 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. Any Repurchase Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any

notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or facsimile. The parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all Parties.

Section 18.14 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller, Guarantor, Buyer or any Indemnified Person, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents, whether by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that the obligations of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents are solely their respective corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations, as applicable, and that any such recourse or personal liability is hereby expressly waived. This Section 18.14 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the indefeasible payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 18.15 Protection of Buyer’s Interests in the Purchased Assets; Further Assurances.

(a) Seller shall cause the Repurchase Documents and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of Buyer to the Purchased Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by Requirements of Law fully to preserve and protect such right, title and interest. Seller shall deliver to Buyer file–stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 18.15.

(b) Seller will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments and documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Repurchase Documents, the Transactions and the Purchased Assets.

(c) If Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Repurchase Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, Seller authorizes Buyer, at the option of Buyer and the expense of Seller, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Repurchase Documents. No Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Repurchase Obligation by Buyer on behalf of Seller. Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by Seller in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will no earlier than six (6) or later than three (3) months before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of each UCC financing statement filed in connection with any Repurchase Document or any Transaction, (i) deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement (provided that Buyer may elect to file such continuation statement), and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, confirming and updating the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(v) with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interests hereunder continue to be enforceable and perfected security interests, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise permitted hereunder, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

(e) Except as provided in the Repurchase Documents, the sole duty of Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be to use reasonable care in the custody, use, operation and preservation of the Purchased Assets in its possession or control. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller or any other Person for any act of a Governmental Authority, act of God or other destruction in whole or in part or negligence or wrongful act of custodians or agents selected by Buyer with reasonable care, or Buyer’s failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve any rights of Seller in any Purchased Asset against prior parties, and Seller hereby agrees to take such action. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any Purchased Asset except through proper application of any distributions with respect to the Purchased Assets made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long as Buyer and Custodian shall act in good faith in their handling of the Purchased Assets, Seller waives or is deemed to have waived the defense of impairment of the Purchased Assets by Buyer and Custodian.

(f) At Buyer’s election (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense prior to an Event of Default) and at any time during the term of this Agreement, Buyer may complete and record any or all of the blank assignment documents as further evidence of Buyer’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets. To the extent Buyer records any assignment documents prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and Seller is repurchasing a Purchased Asset, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, any costs and expenses related to recording assignment documents (including any transfer and/or mortgage recording taxes) to reflect Seller as owner of any Asset repurchased by Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be the responsibility of Buyer.

Section 18.16 Default Rate. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, Seller shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the amount of all Repurchase Obligations not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents until such Repurchase Obligations are paid or satisfied in full.

Section 18.17 Set–off.

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all

deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of Seller at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller and to set–off against any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by Seller and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to or for the credit of Seller, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Person by Seller under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER AND EACH AFFILIATE OF SELLER.

(b) Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the affected Seller after any such set–off and application made by Buyer or such Indemnified Person, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set–off and application. If an amount or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant Party accounting to the other Party when the amount or obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 18.17 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.17 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which any Party is at any time otherwise entitled.

Section 18.18 Seller’s Waiver of Setoff. Seller hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be or become entitled under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise against Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Indemnified Person or their respective assets or properties.

Section 18.19 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Buyer may perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, Seller and Affiliates of Seller, including ordering new third-party reports, for purposes of, among other things, verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, duties, obligations and specifications made under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its representatives may during normal business hours inspect any properties and examine, inspect and make copies of the books and records of Seller and Affiliates of Seller, the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Servicing Files. Seller shall make available to Buyer one or more knowledgeable financial or accounting officers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of Seller and its Affiliates for the purpose of answering questions of Buyer concerning any of the foregoing. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer by permitting Buyer to conduct due diligence reviews of the Servicing Files. Seller shall pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 18.19, subject to Section 13.02. Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based

solely on the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Underwriting Package and the representations, warranties, duties, obligations and covenants contained herein, and Buyer may at any time conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including ordering new credit reports and new Appraisals on the Underlying Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate and underwrite such Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually acceptable third-party underwriter to do so.

Section 18.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations, duties, covenants, agreements, notices or actions or inactions of the Parties under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.21 Joint and Several Repurchase Obligations.

(a) At all times when there is more than one Seller under this Agreement, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer to the maximum extent permitted by Requirements of Law for all Repurchase Obligations, (ii) the liability of each Seller (A) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until all Repurchase Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Repurchase Documents have been terminated and the expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any Insolvency Law, or at law or in equity, without any claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received by Buyer, and (B) until such payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired on the occurrence from time to time of any event, including any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of each Seller, (1) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, termination or amendment (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any of the Repurchase Obligations, (2) the failure to give notice to each Seller of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (3) the release, substitution or exchange by Buyer of any Purchased Asset (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by Buyer of any additional collateral or the availability or claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any nonperfection or other impairment of collateral, (4) the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Repurchase Obligations, whether by Buyer or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding affecting any Seller or any other Person who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the Repurchase Obligations or any part thereof, or (5) to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 18.21, result in the release or discharge of any or all of Sellers from the performance or observance of any Repurchase Obligation, (iii) Buyer shall not be required first to initiate any suit or to exhaust its remedies against any Seller or any other Person to become liable, or against any of the Purchased Assets, in order to enforce the Repurchase Documents and each Seller expressly agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, each Seller shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due under any of the Repurchase Documents, (iv) when making any demand hereunder against any Seller, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Seller, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Seller, or any release of any such other Seller shall not relieve any Seller in a respect of which a demand or collection is not made or Sellers not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Sellers, and (v) on disposition by Buyer of any property encumbered by any Purchased Assets, each Seller shall be and shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

(b) To the extent that any Seller (the “paying Seller”) pays more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the paying Seller shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution

from and against any other Seller that has not paid its proportionate share; provided, that the provisions of this Section 18.21 shall not limit the duties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of any Seller to Buyer, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the paying Seller hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the paying Seller by Buyer, the paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right of setoff held by Buyer, nor shall the paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Seller in respect of payments made by the paying Seller hereunder, until all Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and the Repurchase Documents have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the paying Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of the paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the paying Seller, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by the paying Seller (duly indorsed by the paying Seller to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Repurchase Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

(c) The Repurchase Obligations are full recourse obligations to each Seller, and each Seller hereby forever waives, demises, acquits and discharges any and all defenses, and shall at no time assert or allege any defense, to the contrary.

Section 18.22 Patriot Act Notice. Buyer hereby notifies Seller that Buyer is required by the Patriot Act to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller.

Section 18.23 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the foregoing, the Repurchase Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Section 18.24 Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies. Seller and Buyer each have in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit their purchase of any high cost mortgage loan.

Re:

Waterfall Account established by Seller (defined below) at ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (in such capacity, the “Bank”) pursuant to that certain Master Repurchase and Securities Contract, dated as of February 27, 2012 (such agreement, as amended, modified, waived, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and between RCC Real Estate SPE 4, LLC, as seller (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Seller”), and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, as buyer (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Buyer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Repurchase Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Seller has entered into a Repurchase Agreement pursuant to which Buyer may from time to time purchase Eligible Assets secured by, among other things, the payments made by certain Underlying Obligors on account of Assets purchased by Buyer under the Repurchase Agreement (the “Purchased Assets”). As a requirement of such transactions, all such payments are required to be forwarded to the Waterfall Account identified below in accordance with the requirements of the Repurchase Documents. Seller has established a Waterfall Account, Account No. xxxxxxxxxx, for the account of Buyer, with Bank, ABA # ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Waterfall Account”) that Bank maintains in the name of Seller and in trust for Buyer. Seller has granted to Buyer a security interest in the Waterfall Account and all payments deposited in the Waterfall Account with respect to the Purchased Assets under the Repurchase Agreement.

In the event Bank receives notice from Buyer that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Repurchase Documents (a “Notice of Event of Default”), Bank shall in no event (a) transfer funds from the Waterfall Account to Seller or any other Person other than pursuant to Buyer’s direction, (b) act on the instruction of Seller or any Person other than Buyer or (c) cause or permit withdrawals from the Waterfall Account in any manner not approved by Buyer in writing.

Exhibit F, Page 1

Bank (in such capacity) hereby waives any right that Bank may now or hereafter have to a security interest, bank’s or other possessory Liens, rights to offset or other claims against the funds in the Waterfall Account.

In addition, Bank acknowledges that (a) Seller has granted to Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’ right, title and interest in and to the Waterfall Account and any funds from time to time on deposit in the Waterfall Account and (b) that such funds are received by Bank in trust for the benefit of Buyer and, except as provided below, are for application against the Repurchase Obligations described in the Repurchase Agreement. Seller, Buyer and Bank agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, any document or other agreement to which any of Seller, Buyer and Bank is a party, Bank will (and Bank hereby agrees to) comply solely with Buyer’s instructions regarding the disposition of funds in the Waterfall Account in accordance with Buyer’s instructions, without further consent of Seller or any other Person until Bank receives notice from Buyer that Buyer has released its Lien on the Waterfall Account and all funds deposited therein.

Until the Lien of Buyer is terminated and released, Seller shall have no rights in, no rights of withdrawal from and no rights to give notices or instructions regarding the disposition of funds in, the Waterfall Account (regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred).

This Controlled Account Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Bank’s jurisdiction for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (“NYUCC”) shall be deemed to be New York. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement governing the Waterfall Account, (a) the Waterfall Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, and (b) the Waterfall Account shall be maintained at all times as a “deposit account” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the NYUCC.

All bank statements in respect to the Waterfall Account shall be sent to Buyer at:

EXECUTION VERSION

SCHEDULE 1

ELIGIBLE ASSET REPRESENTATIONS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Whole Loan, that except as specifically disclosed to and approved by Buyer in the related Confirmation, as of the Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect, the representations set forth on this Schedule 1 shall be true and correct in all material respects.

1. The Whole Loan is a performing mortgage loan which is secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property.

2. The Whole Loan and the related Underlying Mortgaged Property comply in all material respects with, or are exempt from, all Requirements of Law (including Requirements of Law pertaining to usury, zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws) relating to such Whole Loan or the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, as applicable. The Mortgage Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor, any Mortgagor and the Underlying Mortgaged Property to comply with all Requirements of Law and ordinances.

3. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, such Whole Loan, and Seller is transferring such Whole Loan free and clear of any and all Liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Whole Loan. Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Whole Loan on the Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Whole Loan free and clear of any pledge, Lien, encumbrance or security interest other than Seller’s repurchase rights under the Agreement.

4. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Whole Loan nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any Person in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan.

5. All information contained in the related Underwriting Package (or as otherwise provided to Buyer) in respect of such Whole Loan is accurate and complete in all material respects.

6. Except as included in the Underwriting Package, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, that by its terms modifies or affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Whole Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists.

7. Such Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully and properly disbursed and, except for amounts held in escrow, reserve or similar accounts by Seller or the servicer of such Whole Loan, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

8. Seller has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Whole Loan. Except as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the Underwriting Package related to the applicable Whole Loan was delivered to Buyer.

9. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Mortgage and/or Mortgage Note, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Whole Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Whole Loan or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Whole Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal,” “right of first negotiation,” “right of first offer,” purchase option or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

10. Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Whole Loan is or may become obligated except Seller’s obligation, if any, in connection with any Retained Interests.

11. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage) and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor in connection with such Whole Loan is legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Mortgage Loan Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable Requirements of Law, but neither the application of any such Requirements of Law to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole and such Mortgage Loan Documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Laws generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). With respect to any Underlying Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

12. There is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission with respect to any Mortgage Loan Document executed in connection with a Whole Loan except, in each case, with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges. No advance of funds has been made other than pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, directly or indirectly, by Seller to the Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any Person other than the Mortgagor or Underlying Obligor for or on account of payments due on the Mortgage Loan Documents.

13. Each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller in blank constitutes the legal, valid and binding first priority assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of the Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by Requirements of Law and Insolvency Laws generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and Assignment of Leases contain no provision limiting the right or ability of Seller to assign, transfer and convey the related Whole Loan to any other Person, except, however, for customary intercreditor restrictions limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees.” No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority (in each case, except as have been obtained or made) is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Whole Loan.

14. The Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first Lien on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (11) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception,” and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the Lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (18) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether under ground leases, space leases or operating leases) at the Underlying Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Whole Loan, the Lien of the Mortgage for such other Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. Except with respect to cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Whole Loans and as provided below, there are no mortgage loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or such Whole Loan.

15. UCC financing statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in all public places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property located on the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan) material to the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to Requirements of Law by recording or filing, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable Lien and priority security interest on such items of personalty except as such enforcement may be limited by Requirements of Law and Insolvency Laws generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

16. All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof, which would be a Lien on the Underlying Mortgaged Property and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

17. The related Underlying Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the Whole Loan and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property.

18. The Lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority Lien in the original principal amount of such Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or, until the policy is issued, a binding commitment therefore, a pro forma title policy or marked up title insurance commitment on which the required premium has been paid and the related title company has agreed in writing to issue a policy in such form), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, subject only to the Title Exceptions; the mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such title policy; such title policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and will inure to the benefit of the Buyer as mortgagee of record (a title policy fulfilling the foregoing requirements hereinafter referred to as a “Title Policy”). Such Title Policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such Title Policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such Title Policy. The insurer issuing such Title Policy is either (x) a nationally-recognized title insurance company or (y) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such Title Policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

19. All insurance coverage required under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, and

with respect to a fire and extended perils insurance policy, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Underlying Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance in an amount at least equal to 12 months of operations of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, all of which was in full force and effect with respect to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller or an Underlying Obligor; and except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Whole Loan and which are set forth in the related Mortgage, the Mortgage Loan Documents provide that any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Underlying Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 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 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50 year period. 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 from an insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” (or the equivalent) from S&P and Fitch or “Baa3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. If the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan and (ii) 100% of the lesser of the full insurable value or the replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property.

The insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Seller, its successors and assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property insurance policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance policy and provide that they are not terminable without 30 days prior written notice to the mortgagee (or, with respect to non-payment, 10 days prior written notice to the mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by Requirement of Law. Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor 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.

20. (a) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any Mortgage Loan Document, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered by any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any paragraph of this Schedule 1 and (b) neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any prior holder has waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage Loan Documents.

21. The Whole Loan is not, and, since origination, has not been, 30 days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment.

22. Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in such Mortgage.

23. Such Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code (without regard to Section 860G(a)(3)(A)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Whole Loan was at least equal to 80% of the principal amount of the Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any Lien on such interest in real property that is senior to the Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any Lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

24. Except as set forth in the environmental report with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property delivered to Buyer in the Underwriting Package and as disclosed in the Confirmation, there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property; there is no violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Underlying Obligor has taken any actions which would cause the Underlying Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; the related Mortgage Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor 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.

25. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties similarly situated such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Underlying Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of Insolvency Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

26. No Mortgagor or Underlying Obligor is a debtor in any Insolvency Proceeding.

27. Seller holds no preferred equity interests in any direct or indirect owner of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, and neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller has any obligations to make capital contributions to the Mortgagor or Underlying Obligor, as applicable, under the Whole Loan.

28. Subject to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or loan agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related Underlying Obligor and transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) in a mortgagor, issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other mortgage loans or multi-property Whole Loans or transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (30) below), or (b) the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or controlling interest in the Underlying Obligor is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a Lien or security interest against the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, other than any existing permitted additional debt. The Mortgage Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval.

29. 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.

30. Since origination, no material portion of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property has been released from the Lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the Whole Loan or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Underlying Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Whole Loan secured by multiple Underlying Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Underlying Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the Whole Loans (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Whole Loan, (c) where release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a release price that represents adequate consideration for such Underlying Mortgaged Property or the portion thereof that is being released, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with REMIC provisions or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Underlying Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for the Whole Loan or that were not allocated to any value in the underwriting during the origination of the Whole Loan, the terms of the related Mortgage do not provide for release of any portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property from the Lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full therefor.

31. None of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Whole Loan lay 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 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).

32. The related Mortgagor has covenanted in its organizational documents and/or the Mortgage Loan Documents to own no significant asset other than the related Underlying Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, and assets incidental to its ownership and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Properties, and to hold itself out as being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other Person.

33. There is no pending action, suit or proceeding, or governmental investigation of which Seller has received notice, against the Mortgagor or the related Underlying Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such Whole Loan or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents or the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

34. As of the Purchase Date, if the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under Requirement of Law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and serving under such Mortgage or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and Requirement of Law.

35. Each Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized is cross-collateralized only with other Whole Loans sold pursuant to this Agreement.

36. 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 Whole 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.

37. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Whole Loan as of the Purchase Date required to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent (including the Servicer of the Whole Loan) and there are no deficiencies in connection therewith.

38. The related Mortgagor, the related lessee, franchisor or operator was in possession of all material licenses, permits and authorizations then required for use of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property by the related Mortgagor. The Mortgage Loan Documents require the Underlying Obligor to maintain all such licenses, permits and authorizations.

39. The origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans for conduit loan programs.

40. Except for Mortgagors under Whole 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.

41. The Mortgage Loan Documents for such Whole Loan provide that such Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that the related Mortgagor and an additional guarantor accepts responsibility for any loss incurred due to fraud on the part of the Mortgagor and/or other material misrepresentation. Furthermore, the Mortgage Loan Documents for each Whole Loan provide that the related Mortgagor and an additional guarantor shall be liable to the lender for losses incurred due to the misapplication or misappropriation of rents collected in advance or received by the related Mortgagor after the occurrence of an event of default and not paid to the mortgagee or applied to the Underlying Mortgaged Property in the ordinary course of business, misapplication or conversion by the Mortgagor of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or breach of the environmental covenants in the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

42. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (11) and upon possession of the Underlying Mortgaged Property as required under applicable Requirements of Law, any Assignment of Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with such Whole Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable Lien and security interest in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any Person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property.

43. With respect to such Whole Loan, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

44. If such Whole Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two years after any securitization of such Whole Loan and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note. Such Whole Loan was not originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if such Mortgage contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related Mortgage Loan Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the Mortgage Loan Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance complies with all applicable REMIC provisions, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Whole Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some of the Mortgage Loan Documents may not affirmatively contain all such requirements, but such requirements are effectively present in such documents due to the general obligation to comply with the REMIC provisions and/or deliver a REMIC opinion of counsel.

45. The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of Mortgage Loan Documents permit the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the Purchase Date without the prior written consent of the holder of such Whole Loan, by any Lien securing the payment of money junior to, of equal priority with, or superior to the Lien of the related Mortgage (other than Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmen’s liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the Whole Loan).

46. To the extent required under Requirements of Law as of the date of origination, and as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the Whole Loan, the originator of such Whole Loan was authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located at all times when it originated and held the Whole Loan.

47. 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 Policy.

48. The related Mortgage Loan Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the mortgagee with certain financial information at the times required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

49. 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.

50. An appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan; and such appraisal satisfied the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and was undertaken consistent with the requirements of the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines (2010-12) issued December 2010.

51. 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 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 Mortgage (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, reasonable 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 Whole 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 Whole 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.
