General
The Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan was originated by DBRI, as lender, on November 26, 2019 (the “Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Origination Date”) and subsequently acquired by the Mortgage Loan Seller. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller will assign the Starwood

As of the Cut-off Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan is expected to be $210,027,072 (collectively, the “Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Amount”).
The Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan is a ten-year fixed-rate interest-only mortgage loan.

The maturity date of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan is the date on which the final payment of principal of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Notes becomes due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents, whether in December 6, 2029 (the “Starwood Industrial Portfolio Stated Maturity Date”), by declaration of acceleration or otherwise (the “Starwood Industrial Portfolio Maturity Date”).
The Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents require the Borrower to pay interest on the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan as described in “—Payments on the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan—Principal and Interest Payments” below.
Security
The Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan is secured by, among other things, the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties, any improvements erected or installed thereon and all personal property owned by the Borrower and encumbered by the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents, together with all rights pertaining to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties and improvements, all revenue derived from the ownership and operation of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties and all other collateral under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents.

“Terrorism Premium Cap” means, for any applicable policy period, an amount equal to two times the amount of the insurance premiums that would then be payable for such policy period under required insurance policies obtained at then-current market rates on a stand-alone basis in respect of property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents (excluding terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) obtained as of the date the applicable new terrorism insurance is being obtained and provided, however, that in no event will any insurance premiums paid with respect to required insurance policies in effect prior to the date TRIPRA expires or is otherwise no longer in effect for any reason be included for purposes of determining whether the amount of terrorism insurance premiums paid by the Borrower for any applicable period meet or exceed the Terrorism Premium Cap.

Casualty and Condemnation
The Borrower is required to give prompt notice to the Lender of any casualty or condemnation or of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings that would result in a condemnation of all or any portion of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties. With respect to a condemnation, the Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and the Borrower is required to deliver to the Lender from time to time all instruments requested by it to permit such participation and, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and consult with the Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Following the occurrence of a casualty, the Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, is required to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties in accordance with legal requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. The Lender may, but will not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by the Borrower with respect to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties. In addition, the Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and will approve any final settlement) (i) if a Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the restoration in excess of the Alteration Threshold and the Borrower will deliver to the Lender all instruments required by the Lender to permit such participation.

The Net Proceeds will be made available to the Borrower for restoration upon the determination of the Lender, in its sole discretion, that the following conditions are met: (A) no Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than 25% of the total floor area of the improvements on the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than 10% of the land constituting the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties, and no material portion of the improvements is located on such land; (C) leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space in the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties which has been demised under executed and delivered leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto that are not being made by the Borrower as part of the restoration at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense; (D) the Borrower commences the restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 90 days after such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and diligently pursues the same to satisfactory completion; (E) the Lender is satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Notes, which will be
incurred with respect to the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties as a result of the occurrence of any such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the rental loss and/or business income interruption insurance, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of the Borrower; (F) the Lender is satisfied that the restoration has been completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date 6 months prior to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Stated Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable legal requirements or 6 months prior to the expiration of the rental loss and/or business income interruption insurance coverage; (G) the Lender is satisfied that the restoration has been completed in accordance with any applicable requirements under any Management Agreement; (H) the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties and the use thereof after the restoration have been in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable legal requirements; (I) the restoration has been done and completed by the Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable legal requirements; (J) such casualty or condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the affected Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties or the related improvements that would have a material adverse effect; (K) the debt yield based on pro forma post-stabilization underwritten net cash flow taking into consideration underwritten net cash flow prior to such casualty or condemnation and any differences in the properties or improvements from prior to such casualty or condemnation all as reasonably determined by the Lender, after giving effect to the restoration, will be equal to or greater than the debt yield immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation; (L) the Borrower will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by the Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the restoration, which budget is reasonably acceptable to the Lender; and (M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by the Borrower with the Lender are sufficient in the Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the restoration.
The Net Proceeds will be held by the Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the related provisions of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement, will constitute additional security for the debt under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan and other obligations under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents.
All plans and specifications required in connection with the restoration will be subject to the prior approval of the Lender and, if reasonably required by the Lender, an independent consulting engineer selected by the Lender.

During the continuance of a Trigger Period, until such time that any annual budget has been approved by the Lender,
the prior Approved Annual Budget will apply for all purposes under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement (with such adjustments as reasonably determined by the Lender to reflect actual increases in property taxes, insurance premiums and utilities expenses), provided, that upon the occurrence of a Trigger Period, the existing in-place Annual Budget for the then-existing calendar year is not be subject to the Lender’s approval and will be deemed an Approved Annual Budget under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement (other than with respect to payments to Affiliates of the Borrower or any Guarantor, which payments will be subject to the Lender’s approval, not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). To the extent the Lender has approval rights over an annual budget, neither the Borrower nor any Manager will change or modify the annual budget that has been approved by the Lender in any material respect without the prior written consent of the Lender, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting the Borrower, the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents, the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties, or any other security given for the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan; (viii) fees charged by servicer (except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 10.21 of the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement) or, if a securitization has occurred, the rating agencies in connection with the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan or any modification thereof; and (ix) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from the Borrower under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement, the other Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Documents or with respect to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches, intangible taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of appraisals, environmental reports and the Lender’s consultant, surveys and engineering reports); provided, however, that the Borrower will not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Person seeking such reimbursement or their respective agents or affiliates.

EXHIBIT C-1
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STARWOOD BORROWER
All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit C that are not defined in this offering circular have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement.
Subject to the exceptions and disclosure set forth in Exhibit C-2, the related Starwood Borrower made the following representations and warranties in the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan Agreement as to itself and the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties. These representations and warranties were made at the time the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Whole Loan was originated and there can be no assurance that such representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date of this offering circular.
(b) Organization; Special Purpose. Each SPE Entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing with the requisite power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, and is duly qualified and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Property is located and in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and each SPE Entity has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and all the transactions contemplated hereby. Each SPE Entity is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and was formed for the purpose of investing the equity capital that was contributed to such SPE Entity by the members of such SPE Entity in compliance with the provisions Schedule VII to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan attached hereto. No equity capital was raised by any SPE Entity.
(c) Proceedings; Enforceability. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any SPE Entity is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such SPE Entity and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligations of such SPE Entity, enforceable against such SPE Entity in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any SPE Entity or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and no SPE Entity or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
(d) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any SPE Entity is a party and the performance of its Obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any Legal Requirement to which such SPE Entity is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of such SPE Entity’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which such SPE Entity is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to such SPE Entity, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of such SPE Entity’s assets or property (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents).
(e) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened (in writing) against any SPE Entity, Guarantor, any Manager (if an Affiliate of Borrower) or any Property in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any SPE Entity, any Guarantor, any Manager or any Property, as applicable, which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Agreements. No SPE Entity is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No SPE Entity is in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such SPE Entity, which default would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, no SPE Entity is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any Property is bound.
(g) Consents. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any SPE Entity is required for the execution, delivery and performance by such SPE Entity of, or compliance by such SPE Entity with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those which have been obtained by such SPE Entity.
(h) Properties; Title.
(i) Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property and fixtures comprising the Property opposite its name as set forth on Schedule I to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan attached hereto, and good title to the portion of such Property constituting personal property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgages, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, first priority, perfected Lien on Borrower’s interest in the Properties, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases (other than subleases)), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Property which are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the Mortgages. None of the Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, (a) materially and adversely interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgages and this Agreement, (b) materially and adversely affect the value of any Property, (c) materially impair the use or operations of any Property (as currently used), or (d) materially impair Borrower’s ability to pay its Obligations as and when required.
(ii) All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of each Property to Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including the Mortgages, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. No taxes or governmental assessments in respect of the Properties are delinquent or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established hereunder or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policies.
(iii) Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute separate tax lots and do not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Property.
(iv) No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is threatened in writing with respect to all or any portion of the Properties or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Property.
(v) There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that, to Borrower’s knowledge, may result in such special or other assessments.
(i) ERISA; No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) each SPE Entity, Guarantor and the ERISA Affiliates do not sponsor, are not obligated to contribute to, and are not themselves an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
(ii) none of the assets of any SPE Entity or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA, (iii) no SPE Entity nor Guarantor are or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with any SPE Entity or Guarantor are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, no SPE Entity, Borrower, nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to or has any obligations with respect to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA). No SPE Entity has engaged in any transaction in connection with which it could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code.
(j) Compliance. Except as set forth in the Reports, Borrower and each Property (including, but not limited to the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including parking, building and zoning and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and codes. No SPE Entity is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, having jurisdiction over such SPE Entity or any Property, the violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No SPE Entity has committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such SPE Entity or any Property the right to cause such SPE Entity to forfeit any Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of such SPE Entity’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each Property is used exclusively for industrial and other appurtenant and related uses. Except as set forth in the Reports, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any applicable zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened (in writing) with respect to the zoning of any Property. Other than in connection with the Permitted Encumbrances, and as otherwise set forth in the Reports, neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate each Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than such Property. Except as set forth in the Reports, all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each Property for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of each Property is in conformity in all material respects with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting such Property.
(k) Financial Information. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender and which have been prepared by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Properties as of the date of such reports (as the same may have been corrected prior to the date hereof), and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of the financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Properties from that set forth in said financial statements.
(l) Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policies and are in full force and effect without any material default thereunder. Each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses. To Borrower’s knowledge, all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve each Property without
passing over other property absent a valid irrevocable easement. All roads necessary for the use of each Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all relevant Governmental Authorities.
(m) Assignments of Leases. The Assignments of Leases create valid assignments of, or valid security interests in, certain rights under the Leases (other than subleases), subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Properties. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.
(n) Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certificates of insurance or certified copies of all Policies (which, in the case of blanket Policies, may have been redacted with respect to properties covered thereunder other than the Properties), with all premiums prepaid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been made under any of the Policies, and no Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of the Policies.
(o) Flood Zone. None of the Improvements on the Properties are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, or, if so located the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a) of this Agreement is in full force and effect with respect to the applicable Property.
(p) Physical Condition. Except as may be expressly set forth in the Reports, (i) the Properties, including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects, (ii) there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Properties, whether latent or otherwise, and (iii) Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Properties, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination or threatened (in writing) termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
(q) Boundaries. To Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property, and, except as disclosed in the Reports, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting any Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, except those which are set forth on the Surveys and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy of the applicable Property.
(r) Leases. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule III to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan is true, complete and correct and no Property is subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in Schedule III. Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases (other than any subleases).

Except as set forth on Schedule VI to the Starwood Industrial Portfolio Loan attached hereto, no Tenant under any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part. There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment, hypothecation or pledge of any Lease or of the Rents received therein which is still in effect.
(s) Tax Filings. To the extent required, each SPE Entity has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by such SPE Entity. Each SPE Entity’s tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of such SPE Entity for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required or permitted by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
(t) No Fraudulent Transfer. Each SPE Entity (i) has not entered into the transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and (ii) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its Obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of such SPE Entity’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed such SPE Entity’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of such SPE Entity’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than such SPE Entity’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Such SPE Entity’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Such SPE Entity does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such SPE Entity and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such SPE Entity). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed
against such SPE Entity or any constituent Person of such SPE Entity, and neither such SPE Entity nor any constituent Person of such SPE Entity has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither such SPE Entity nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such SPE Entity’s assets or properties, and such SPE Entity has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
(u) Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(z) Purchase Options. Except as set forth on Schedule VI attached hereto, no Property nor any part thereof are subject to any purchase options, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or other similar rights in favor of third parties. Borrower’s acquisition of each Property is not in contravention, and does not result in a breach or violation, of any Existing Purchase Option, and to the extent that the terms of any Lease requires a waiver of any Existing Purchase Option by the applicable Tenant in connection with Borrower’s acquisition of all or any portion of any Property, such Tenant has expressly waived, or is deemed to have waived, the related Existing Purchase Option, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Lease.
(aa) FIRPTA. No SPE Entity is a “foreign person” within the meaning of Sections 1445 or 7701 of the Code. If any SPE Entity is a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, then the regarded owner, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, of such SPE Entity is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 or 7701 of the Code.
