(A) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser written notice of its extension of the Current Termination Date prior to the Current Termination Date, which notice must contain a certification that Seller has determined in good faith that market conditions are not economically favorable for the securitization of the Purchased Assets on or prior to the Current Termination Date;

(B) Purchaser shall have received, on or before the Current Termination Date, payment from Seller of a Termination Date Extension Fee (Seller shall provide notice to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which Seller pays the Termination Date Extension Fee);

(C) no Margin Deficit Event, Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Current Termination Date; and

(D) all representations and warranties made by any Seller Party in the Transaction Documents shall be true, correct, complete and accurate as of the Current Termination Date.

(h) Future Advances. (i) In connection with the making of a future advance to the Mortgagor under a Future Advance Purchased Asset, Seller may request an increase of the Purchase Price of such Future Advance Purchased Asset; provided that (A) each such increase request shall be for an amount of not less than $250,000 and (B) Seller shall not request more than one (1) increase with respect to the same Purchased Asset during any thirty (30) day period. Any approval by Purchaser of such increase of the Purchase Price shall be in writing and given or denied at Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (with respect to satisfaction of objective criteria) or reasonable discretion (with respect to satisfaction of subjective criteria).

(ii) If such approval for a Purchase Price increase is granted, Purchaser’s funding of such increase shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(A) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested Purchase Price increase date, Seller shall have requested such increase in writing and delivered to Purchaser (1) copies of all documentation submitted by Mortgagor in connection with the applicable future advance and (2) evidence that all conditions precedent to such future advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied or will be satisfied as of the date of the related funding (or, if any conditions will not be satisfied, written request for Purchaser’s waiver of such conditions);

(C) delivery by Seller to Purchaser of an amended and restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction which reflects the increase in the Purchase Price signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller (provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be liable to Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Confirmation that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller), and delivery by Purchaser to Seller of a countersigned copy of such amended and restated Confirmation;

(D) the sum, without duplication, of (x) the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for all outstanding Transactions (excluding accrued and unpaid Purchaser Price Differential for the then current Pricing Rate Period) and (y) the requested Purchase Price increase shall not exceed an amount equal the Maximum Facility Purchase Price;

(E) no event shall have occurred which has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

(F) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the related Purchase Price increase date or will occur as a result of such Purchase Price increase;

(G) no Margin Deficit Event shall exist, either immediately prior to or after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase;

(H) all representations and warranties made by any Seller Party in the Transaction Documents shall be true, correct, complete and accurate on and as of the related Purchase Price increase date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date;

(I) on or prior to the related Purchase Price increase date, Purchaser shall have received a written certification by Seller stating that all conditions precedent to the funding of such future advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied; and

(J) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser such other information and documentation (including, without limitation, either an updated title policy or an appropriate date-down endorsement, to the extent the Purchased Asset Documents permit Seller to request such items) as Purchaser requests, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(iii) Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 3(g)(ii) as determined by Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercised in good faith, Purchaser shall transfer the amount of the Purchase Price increase to an account of Seller or, if such increase is being funded on the same day as the future advance is being made to the related Mortgagor, directly to the Mortgagor, Servicer or any title company, settlement agent or other Person, as agreed to by Purchaser and Seller.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Future Advance Purchased Asset and whether or not Purchaser advances any additional Purchase Price hereunder, Seller shall advance, as and when required under the related Purchased Asset Documents, any and all future advance obligations and commitments thereunder.

(i) Margin Excess. At any time after a Purchased Asset has been the subject of a Margin Call, Seller may request that Purchaser re-determine the Market Value of such Purchased Asset. If pursuant to such calculation Purchaser in its sole discretion determines that there exists any Margin Excess with respect to such Purchased Asset, then Purchaser shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after making such determination and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, transfer cash to Seller in an amount that does not exceed the Margin Excess of such Purchased Asset, and such transfer shall be reflected as an increase in the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset. Any such transfer of cash by Purchaser shall be subject to the following conditions:

ARTICLE 4

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Purchaser may, at its option in its sole and absolute discretion, re-determine the Market Value for any Purchased Asset in accordance with the definition of Market Value. If there exists a Margin Deficit Event with respect to any Purchased Asset, Purchaser may, by notice to Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII hereto (a “Margin Call”), require Seller to make a cash payment in reduction of the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset so that after giving effect to such payment, no Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(b) If a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day at or prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time), Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day. If a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day after 12:00 noon (New York City time), Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second succeeding Business Day.

(c) The failure or delay by Purchaser, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Article 4 shall not change or alter the terms and conditions or limit or waive the right of Purchaser to do so at a later date or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

ARTICLE 5

PAYMENTS; COLLECTION ACCOUNT

(a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by Seller hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim.

(b) All payments required to be made directly to Purchaser shall be made in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth below (or such other wire instructions provided by Purchaser to Seller in writing), not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)(or such other time set forth herein with respect to such payment), on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

[***]

(c) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall establish a segregated interest bearing deposit account (the “Collection Account”) in the name of Seller for the benefit of Purchaser at Account Bank. The Collection Account shall be subject to the Account Control Agreement in favor of Purchaser.

(d) Seller shall cause Servicer to promptly remit, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets directly into the Collection Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause each Servicer to execute and deliver a Servicer Letter in accordance with Article 29(e). If any Seller Party or any Affiliate of thereof shall receive any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset other than by remittance from the Collection Account in accordance with the following sentence, such party shall (and Seller shall cause such party to) promptly (and in any case within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof) remit such amounts directly into the Collection Account. Amounts in the Collection Account shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5(e) and 5(f).

(e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Account Bank shall be permitted to remit all amounts in the Collection Account to, or at the direction of, Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent Income is applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall cause Servicer or Account Bank to remit, by no later than the second Business Day after such reduction, the product of the Purchase Price Percentage and the amount that was applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset toward the reduction of the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset until the outstanding Purchase Price thereof is paid in full and (ii) during the Term-Out

Period and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall cause Account Bank to remit on each Remittance Date all Income from the Purchased Assets remaining after application of principal payments pursuant to clause (i) and payment of the accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential and other amounts that are due and owing to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents toward the reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price for all remaining Purchased Assets on a pro rata basis based on outstanding Purchase Price until the outstanding Purchase Price thereof is paid in full.

(f) Upon receipt of notice from Purchaser that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and so long as Purchaser has not withdrawn such notice, Account Bank shall cease remitting funds to, or at the direction of, Seller pursuant to Article 5(e) and shall instead remit, on each Business Day beginning on the Business Day after receipt of such notice from Purchaser, all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as of the prior Business Day to Purchaser for application to the Repurchase Obligations in such order of priority as Purchaser shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and any excess shall be returned to Seller.

(g) On each Remittance Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential as of such Remittance Date.

ARTICLE 6

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW; ALTERNATIVE RATE; WITHHOLDING TAXES

(a) Requirements of Law. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Purchaser (A) to enter into Transactions, then any commitment of Purchaser hereunder to enter into any Transaction shall forthwith be canceled, (B) to maintain or continue any Transaction, then a Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall occur on the next Remittance Date or on such earlier date as may be required by law or (C) to accrue Purchase Price Differential based on the Applicable Index, then each Transaction then outstanding shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Transaction on the next Pricing Rate Determination Date or within such earlier period as may be required by law. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(i), Purchaser shall exercise such rights in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the U.S. business unit that provides commercial real estate repurchase, warehouse or similar financing arrangements within Purchaser. Seller shall pay to Purchase any applicable Breakage Costs in connection with any such conversion of a Transaction.

(ii) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Purchaser made subsequent to the date hereof:

(A) shall subject Purchaser to any Taxes (other than (i) Covered Taxes and (ii) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Covered Taxes) with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction;

(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 Purchaser that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Applicable Index hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Purchaser, by an amount that Purchaser deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Purchaser, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(ii), Purchaser shall exercise such rights in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the U.S. business unit that provides commercial real estate repurchase, warehouse or similar financing arrangements within Purchaser. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Seller and shall be conclusive evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(iii) If Purchaser shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy made subsequent to the date hereof or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Purchaser or any corporation controlling Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has, or will have, the effect of reducing the rate of return on Purchaser’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Purchaser, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Purchaser to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Purchaser for such reduction. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(iii), Purchaser shall exercise such rights in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the U.S. business unit that provides commercial real estate repurchase, warehouse or similar financing arrangements within Purchaser. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Seller and shall be conclusive evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(b) Alternative Rate. If on or prior to the Pricing Rate Determination Date for any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, Purchaser shall have determined in the exercise of its sole and absolute business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Applicable Index for such Pricing Rate Period, (ii) the Applicable Index has become unavailable or is no longer a representative interest rate for the calculation of floating rates on loans due to lack of market activity, (iii) the Applicable Index determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Purchaser (as determined and certified by Purchaser) of making or maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period or (iv) the Applicable Index is no longer the industry standard floating rate index, Purchaser shall give notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. Such notice, if given, shall set forth the affected Transactions, the floating rate index selected by Purchaser that Purchaser intends to use as an alternative to the Applicable Index for Seller and similarly situated counterparties (the “Alternative Rate”). If such notice is given, each affected Transaction shall be converted automatically to an Alternative Rate Transaction with its Pricing Rate determined with reference to the Alternative Rate set forth in such notice. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(b), Purchaser shall exercise such rights in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the U.S. business unit that provides commercial real estate repurchase, warehouse or similar financing arrangements within Purchaser.

(i) All payments made by Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If Seller is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payment, Seller shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Purchaser, as soon as practicable, original tax receipts or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority other evidence satisfactory to Purchaser of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) if such deduction or withholding are Covered Taxes, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 6) Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(ii) In addition, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Purchaser timely reimburse it for the payment of, any current or future recordation, stamp, documentary, intangible, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Transaction Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment of Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (such Taxes other than Other Connection Taxes, “Other Taxes”).

(iii) Without duplication of the obligation of Seller to pay additional amounts on account of Covered Taxes pursuant to Article 6(c)(i) and to pay Other Taxes pursuant to Article 6(c)(ii), Seller agrees to indemnify Purchaser for the full amount of any and all Covered Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Article 6(c)(iii), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (excluding any Taxes that are neither Covered Taxes nor Other Taxes) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each party contained in this Article 6(c) shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(v) (a) If Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Purchaser, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 6(c)(v)(b)(I), (II) or (III) below) shall not be required if in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Purchaser.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller is a U.S. Person,

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

(II) any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Person”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Person becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

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

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

(III) If a payment made to a Non-U.S. Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Non-U.S. Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Non-U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Non-U.S. Person has complied with such Non-U.S. Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Article 6(c)(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(vi) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for the withholding taxes paid under Section 6(c) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Article 6(c) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 6(c)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made under this Article 6(c) with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 6(c)(vi) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6(c)(vi), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amounts to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 6(c)(vi) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to the indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

ARTICLE 7

SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Purchaser and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Purchaser, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to Purchaser to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other amounts owing by it to Purchaser hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 27, and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller agrees to mark its books and records to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean:

(i) the Collection Account and the Servicer Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account and the Servicer Account and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(ii) the Purchased Items.

(b) Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon satisfaction of the Repurchase Obligations. Upon such satisfaction and upon request by Seller, Purchaser shall, at Seller’s sole expense, deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Collateral, such release to be effective automatically without further action by any party. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 7, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Purchaser shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Purchaser, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

(c) Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights granted to it pursuant to Article 29. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the grant of a security interest in Article 7(a), and in the event that Seller is deemed by a court, other forum or otherwise to retain any residual Servicing Rights (notwithstanding that such Servicing Rights are Purchased Items hereunder), and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Rights constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by any Requirement 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 Asset or Mortgaged Property 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 8

TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the related Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items shall be transferred to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian and/or one or more Settlement Agents) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset in immediately available funds to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction.

(b) Seller shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Purchaser as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Purchaser for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Purchaser. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with a written request acknowledged in writing by Purchaser and otherwise in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian, with copy to Purchaser, additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents (which shall be clearly marked as to which Purchased Asset File such documents relate), Custodian will be required to hold such other documents in the related Purchased Asset File in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

ARTICLE 9

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to each Purchased Assets shall pass to Purchaser on the related Purchase Date, and Purchaser shall have free and unrestricted use of each Purchased Asset, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Purchaser from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Purchaser may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, but no such transaction shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations to transfer the same Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 or of Purchaser’s obligation to credit or pay Income to the obligations of Seller pursuant to Article 5(e) or of Purchaser’s obligations in Article 20.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Purchaser to segregate any Purchased Asset delivered to Purchaser by Seller. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

ARTICLE 10

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(x) Good Title to Purchased Asset. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items by Purchaser from Seller, (i) such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items are free and clear of any Lien or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC) (other than any such Lien or impediment to transfer that is released simultaneously with such purchase), (ii) such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items are not subject to any right of set-off, any prior sale, transfer or assignment, or any agreement by Seller to assign, convey or transfer such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items, in each case, in whole or in part, (iii) Seller is the record and beneficial owner of, and had good and marketable title to, and the right to sell and transfer, such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items to Purchaser, and (iv) Seller has the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Asset and other Purchased Items to Purchaser.

(z) Security Interest Matters.

(i) The provisions of the Transaction Documents are effective to either (x) constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Purchaser (other than for United States federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) or (y) create in favor of Purchaser a legal, valid and enforceable first priority “security interest” (as defined in Section 1-201(b)(35) of the UCC) in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral.

(iii) Upon the filing of the UCC Financing Statements in the applicable UCC Filing Jurisdiction, Purchaser shall have a legal, valid, enforceable and fully perfected first priority security interest in that portion of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected under the UCC by the filing of financing statements, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles.

(aa) Solvency; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Seller is generally able to pay, and is paying, its debts as they come due. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. As of each Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereto and the transfer and sale of related Purchased Assets on such Purchase Date pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets (i) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the assets of Seller, (ii) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (iii) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller has only entered into agreements with Affiliates on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(bb) No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon any advice from Purchaser as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of the Transactions.

(cc) Investment Company Act. Seller is not required to register as an “investment company,” and is not a company “controlled by an investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(dd) Taxes. Seller has filed or caused to be filed all U.S. federal and other material tax returns that would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and has paid all U.S. federal and other material Taxes shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it and any of its assets by any Governmental Authority except for any such Taxes as (i) are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or (ii) are de minimis in amount; no Tax liens have been filed against any of Seller’s assets and, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes, fees or other charges (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or liens or claims with respect to Taxes that are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP).

(ee) ERISA. Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller sponsors, maintains or contributes to any Plans or any Multiemployer Plans. Seller is not, and is not using, any assets of a “benefit plan investor” as defined in Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA in connection with any Transaction.

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

(gg) No Real Property. Seller has not at any time since its formation held title to any real property.

(hh) Ownership. Seller is and shall remain at all times a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Guarantor.

(ii) Insider. Seller is not an “executive officer,” “director,” or “person who directly or indirectly or acting through or in concert with one or more persons owns, controls, or has the power to vote more than 10% of any class of voting securities” (as those terms are defined in 12 U.S.C. § 375(b) or in regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) of Purchaser, of a bank holding company of which Purchaser is a Subsidiary, or of any Subsidiary, of a bank holding company of which Purchaser is a Subsidiary, of any bank at which Purchaser maintains a correspondent account or of any lender which maintains a correspondent account with Purchaser.

(jj) Sanctions; No Prohibited Persons. Each Seller Party and each of their respective Affiliates is in compliance with Sanctions. No Seller Party or any Affiliate, officer, director, partner, member or employee, of any Seller Party or of such Affiliate, is an entity or person that is, or is owned, controlled by or acting on behalf of any Person that is, a Prohibited Person. Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the prior written request of Purchaser, it shall execute and deliver such further documents, provide such additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Purchaser may reasonably request in order to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with Sanctions); provided, however, that nothing in this Article 10(jj) shall be construed as requiring Purchaser to conduct any inquiry or decreasing Seller’s responsibility for its statements, representations, warranties or covenants hereunder.

(kk) Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Each Seller Party and each of their respective Affiliates either is exempt from or has complied with, and is in compliance with, all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws. No litigation, regulatory or administrative proceedings of or before any court, tribunal or agency with respect to any Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws have been started or threatened against any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(xiv) Seller’s organizational documents shall provide (i) that Purchaser be given at least two (2) Business Days prior notice of the removal and/or replacement of any Independent Manager, together with the name and contact information of the replacement Independent Manager and evidence of the replacement’s satisfaction of the definition of Independent Manager and (ii) that any Independent Manager of Seller shall not have any fiduciary duty to anyone including the holders of the equity interest in Seller and any Affiliates of Seller except Seller and the creditors of Seller with respect to taking of, or otherwise voting on, any Act of Insolvency; provided, that the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(ii) Failure to Pay Purchase Price Differential. Purchaser shall fail to receive on any Remittance Date the accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential; provided, however, no more than one (1) time during any three (3) month period Seller may cure such failure within one (1) Business Day of the applicable date when such payment was due if such failure arose solely by reason of an error or omission of an administrative or operational nature and funds were available to Seller to enable it to make such payment when due.

(iii) Failure to Cure Margin Deficit. Seller shall fail to cure any Margin Deficit Event within the period specified in Article 4.

(iv) Failure to Remit Principal Payment.

(v) Other Payment Default. Seller shall fail to make any payment not otherwise enumerated in Article 14(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) that is owing to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents that has become due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, within five (5) Business Days after such payment becoming due and payable.

(vi) Negative Acts. Seller shall fail to perform, comply with or observe any term, covenant or agreement applicable to Seller contained in Article 11 (Negative Covenants of Seller) or Article 13 (Single Purpose Entity Covenants) and, if such failure is susceptible to cure, Seller fails to cure the same within the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days after notice of such breach to Seller or (B) Seller’s actual knowledge thereof.

(vii) Act of Insolvency. An Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to any Seller Party.

(viii) Admission of Inability to Perform. Any Seller Party shall admit in writing or in legal proceedings to any Person its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its respective obligations under any Transaction Document.

(ix) Transaction Documents. Any Transaction Document or a replacement therefor acceptable to Purchaser shall for whatever reason be terminated (other than by Purchaser without cause) or cease to be in full force and effect, or shall not be enforceable in accordance with its terms, or any Person (other than Purchaser) shall contest the validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or the validity, perfection or priority of any Lien granted thereunder, or any Person (other than Purchaser) shall seek to disaffirm, terminate or reduce its obligations under any Transaction Document.

(x) Cross-Default. Any Seller Party shall be in default under (x) any Indebtedness of such Seller Party which default (A) involves the failure to pay a matured obligation or (B) permits the acceleration of the maturity of obligations by any other party to or beneficiary with respect to such Indebtedness; or (y) any other contract to which such Seller Party is a party which default (A) involves the failure to pay a matured obligation or (B) permits the acceleration of the maturity of obligations by any other party to or beneficiary of such contract, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), to the extent the obligations in connection with such default individually or in the aggregate with other defaults are at least equal the applicable Default Threshold.

(xi) ERISA.

(xii) Recharacterization. Either (A) the Transaction Documents shall for any reason not cause, or shall cease to cause, Purchaser to be the owner free of any adverse claim of any of the Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items or (B) if a Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing, and the Transaction Documents with respect to any Transaction shall for any reason cease to create and maintain a valid first priority security interest in favor of Purchaser in any of the Collateral;

(xiii) Governmental or Regulatory Action. Any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority shall have taken any action to remove, limit, restrict, suspend or terminate the rights, privileges, or operations of any Seller Party, which suspension has a Material Adverse Effect as determined by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

(xiv) [Reserved].

(xv) Change of Control. A Change of Control shall have occurred without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(xvi) Representation or Warranty Breach. If any representation, warranty or certification (other than those contained in Article 10(w) relating to Purchased Assets, which shall be considered solely for the purpose of determining the Market Value and eligibility of the Purchased Assets, unless Seller shall have made any such representations and warranties with actual knowledge that they were materially false or misleading at the time made) made to Purchaser by, or on behalf of, any Seller Party shall have been incorrect or untrue in any respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated and, if such breach is susceptible to cure, Seller fails to cure the same within the earlier of (A) ten (10) Business Days after the notice of such breach to Seller or (B) Seller’s actual knowledge thereof.

(xvii) Judgment. Any final non-appealable judgment by any competent court with jurisdiction in the United States of America for the payment of money is rendered against Seller or Guarantor in an amount at least equal to the applicable Litigation Threshold, and such judgment remains undischarged or unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days, during which period execution of such judgment is not effectively stayed by bonding over or other means acceptable to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion.

(xviii) Guarantor Breach. The breach by Guarantor of the covenants made by it in Article V(i) (Limitation on Distributions) or Article V(k) (Financial Covenants) of the Guaranty.

(xix) [Reserved].

(xx) Other Covenant Default. If any Seller Party shall breach or fail to perform any of the terms, covenants, obligations or conditions under any Transaction Document, other than as specifically otherwise referred to in this definition of “Event of Default” and such breach or failure to perform is not remedied within the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days after notice thereof to any Seller Party or (B) actual knowledge on the part of any Seller Party of such breach or failure to perform; provided, that, if such breach or failure to perform is susceptible to cure as determined by Purchaser in its sole and

absolute discretion and the applicable Seller Party is diligently and continuously pursuing such a cure in good faith but is not able to do so within such time period, then such Seller Party shall have an additional period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) additional days, to remedy such breach or failure to perform.

(b) Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to Seller, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Purchaser:

(i) At the option of Purchaser, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to any Seller Party), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, immediately occur (such date, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Purchaser exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 14(b)(i):

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

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Purchaser by the Account Bank or Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 14(b)(iii));

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

(D) Purchaser may (1) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Purchaser may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (2) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets (as determined by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion) against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 14(b)(iii) shall be applied to the Repurchase Obligations in such order of priority as Purchaser shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, and any excess shall be returned to Seller.

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets subject to any Transaction hereunder are not instruments traded in a recognized market, (B) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Asset, Purchaser may establish the source therefor in its sole and absolute discretion and (C) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchaser.

(iv) Seller shall be liable to Purchaser and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for the amount (including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement) of all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default.

(v) Purchaser shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign (where relevant), and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Purchaser and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency.

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

(vii) Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might

otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(c) Power of Attorney. Seller hereby appoints Purchaser as attorney-in-fact of Seller during the continuance of an Event of Default for the purpose of taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Purchaser may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the exercise of any remedies hereunder, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

ARTICLE 15

SET-OFF

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates a right of set-off, without notice to Seller, of any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser against (i) any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to Seller and (ii) any and all deposits (general or specified), monies, credits, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received for the account of Seller (whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise) by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Purchaser or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Purchaser, wherever located).

(b) Purchaser and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Purchaser or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Purchaser may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Article 15 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Article 15 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 (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(c) ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER

COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER.

ARTICLE 16

SINGLE AGREEMENT

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

ARTICLE 17

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

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

ARTICLE 18

NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all

purposes if sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery, or (d) by electronic mail, provided that, such electronic mail notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above unless the sender of such communication receives a verbal or electronic confirmation acknowledging receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any automatically generated email or any similar automatic response shall not constitute confirmation), to the address specified in Exhibit I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Article 18. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (x) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, (y) in the case of registered or certified mail or expedited prepaid delivery, when delivered, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, or upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic confirmation acknowledging receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any automatically generated email or any similar automatic response shall not constitute confirmation). A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 18 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 19

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

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

ARTICLE 20

NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) No Seller Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) and any attempt by any Seller Party to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without the prior written consent of Purchaser shall be null and void.

(b) Purchaser may, without consent of Seller, at any time and from time to time, assign or participate some or all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction (subject to Article 9(a)) to any Person in conformity with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Asset Documents of any Purchased Assets including eligibility requirements, qualified transferee requirements or the like; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without the prior written consent of Seller (i) no assignment or participation shall be made to a Direct Competitor, (ii) unless

Purchaser assigns or participates its entire interest under this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder, Purchaser shall retain control over all consents, waivers, approvals and determinations under the Transaction Documents (including Market Value determinations) and Seller shall not be required to interact with any party other than Purchaser and (iii) Seller shall not be charged for or be required to reimburse Purchaser or any other Person for any costs or expenses related to any such assignment or participation. In connection with any permitted assignment or participation, Purchaser may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Purchaser. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest.

(c) Purchaser, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Purchaser and each permitted purchaser, transferee and assignee, as applicable, and the amounts (and stated interest) owing to, each purchaser, transferee and assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereunder shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) If Purchaser sells a participation with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document with respect to the Purchased Assets, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Purchased Assets (the “Participant Register”); provided that Purchaser shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Document) to any Person except to Seller or to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Purchaser and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the register as the owner of such participation interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 6 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Article 6(c)(v) (it being understood that the documentation required under Article 6(c)(v) shall be delivered to Purchaser selling such participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Article 20 and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 6, with respect to any participation, than Purchaser selling the participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

(e) Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in the Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective successors, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 21

GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY HEREUNDER) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

ARTICLE 22

WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 23

INTENT

(a) The parties intend and acknowledge that (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), (ii) each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in Title 11 of the United States Code and (iii) all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title II of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to set-off or net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 14 is in each case a contractual right to cause or exercise such right as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

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

(d) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and as used in Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “securities contract” with the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

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

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing to Seller, and that Seller be (except to the extent that Purchaser shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Purchaser agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence for all U.S. Federal, state, and local income and franchise tax purposes (including, without limitation, on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

(h) Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of (i) this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement” (except to the extent the related Transaction has a duration that renders such term inapplicable), “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement”, (ii) each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except insofar as, in the case of a “repurchase agreement”, the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable, or (iii) Purchaser as a “financial institution” or “financial participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE 24

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

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

(b) in the case of any Transaction in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to such Transaction; and

(c) in the case of any Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution in connection with such Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

ARTICLE 25

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

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

(c) The parties consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. Nothing in this Article 25 shall affect the right of either party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of either party to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

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

ARTICLE 26

ARTICLE 27

INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

(a) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Purchaser and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel and, subject to Article 28, the costs of obtaining updated appraisals) or disbursements (all of the foregoing,

collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, or as a result of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any Transactions, any Event of Default or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and indemnify Purchaser against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act that in each case results from anything other than Purchaser’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Purchaser in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller agrees to hold Purchaser harmless from and indemnify Purchaser from and against all Indemnified Amounts suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof. The obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller.

(b) Seller agrees to pay or reimburse on demand all of Purchaser’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Transaction Document or any Transaction thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or such Transaction is ultimately consummated, (ii) the consummation and administration of any Transaction, (iii) any enforcement of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents, any preservation of the Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents or any performance by Purchaser of any obligations of Seller in respect of any Purchased Asset, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance, filing and recording costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Purchaser in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, (iv) the maintenance of the Collection Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Purchaser or its nominee, (v) any default by Seller in repurchasing the Purchased Asset after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(e) of an Early Repurchase Date, (vi) any Breakage Costs, (vii) any failure by Seller to sell any Eligible Asset to Purchaser on the Purchase Date thereof, (viii) any actions taken to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Document, (ix) Purchaser owning any Purchased Asset or other Purchased Item and/or (x) any due diligence performed by Purchaser in accordance with Article 28. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs and expenses, setting forth the calculations thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error.

(d) This Article 27 shall have no application with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent, losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

ARTICLE 28

DUE DILIGENCE

(a) Seller acknowledges that Purchaser has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including obtaining updated or new appraisals not to exceed one appraisal per twelve (12) consecutive month period for any Mortgaged Property so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Seller Parties and Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise. Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required), Seller shall provide (or shall cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to provide) reasonable access to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns to the offices of Seller or such other Seller Party, as the case may be, during normal business hours and permit them to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of such party.

(b) Seller agrees that it shall, promptly upon reasonable request of Purchaser, deliver (or shall cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns copies of any documents permitted to be reviewed by Purchaser in accordance with Article 28(a).

(c) Seller agrees to make available (or to cause any other Seller Party to make available) to Purchaser and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns (i) in person at the time of any inspection pursuant to Article 28(a) or (ii) upon prior written notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required and there shall be no limitation on frequency), by phone, as applicable, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer or asset manager, as applicable, of Seller or such other Seller Party, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing Persons, or any other matters relating to the Transaction Documents or any Transaction that Purchaser wishes to discuss with such Person.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Purchaser and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Purchaser, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets. Purchaser may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Purchaser and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of any Seller Party.

(e) Seller agrees to reimburse Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after demand for any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with its due diligence activities pursuant to this Article 28.

ARTICLE 29

SERVICING

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are sold to Purchaser on a “servicing released” basis and Purchaser is owner of all Servicing Rights so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be granted a revocable license (which license shall automatically be revoked (i) every thirty (30) days unless Purchaser provides written notice to Seller that such license is extended for another thirty (30) days or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Article 29 and for the benefit of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not take any action to effect any material modification or amendment of, or material waiver under, any Purchased Asset without first having given prior notice thereof to Purchaser in each such instance and receiving the prior written consent of Purchaser.

(b) The obligation of Servicer (or Seller to cause Servicer) to service any of the Purchased Assets shall cease, at Purchaser’s option, upon the earliest of (i) Purchaser’s termination of Servicer in accordance with Article 29(c), (ii) Purchaser not extending Seller’s revocable license in accordance with Article 29(a) or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any other Servicer (approved in accordance with the definition of Servicer) and the assumption of such servicing by such other Servicer (approved in accordance with the definition of Servicer). Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any termination of Servicer. Upon any termination of Servicer, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall at its sole cost and expense transfer the servicing of the effected Purchased Assets to another Servicer approved by Purchaser as expeditiously as possible.

(c) Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer with respect to any Purchased Asset (i) upon the occurrence of a default by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any applicable Servicer Letter or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Notwithstanding clause (i) of the preceding sentence, if a default by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or Servicer Letter occurs (and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Purchaser shall not exercise its right to terminate Servicer so long as Seller (x) removes such Servicer and identifies a replacement servicer acceptable to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of such default and (y) enters into a Servicing Agreement and, if applicable, a Servicer Letter with such replacement servicer acceptable to Purchaser within sixty (60) calendar days of such default.

(d) Seller shall not, and shall not permit Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Purchaser. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller shall irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest in the servicing agreements with such sub-servicer to Purchaser.

(e) Seller shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicer to service the Purchased Assets in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. In the event Purchaser is not a party to the Servicing Agreement, Seller shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a letter agreement with Purchaser substantially in the form attached as Exhibit XI hereto (a “Servicer Letter”) acknowledging Purchaser’s security interest in the Purchased Assets and agreeing to remit all Income received with respect to the Purchased Asset to the Collection Account in accordance with Article 5(e) or as otherwise directed by Purchaser in accordance with the Servicer Letter.

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

(g) The payment of servicing fees shall be solely the responsibility of Seller and shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding and due to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 30

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN

(a) Contractual Recognition of Bail-in.

(i) Each party acknowledges and accepts that liabilities arising under this Agreement (other than Excluded Liabilities) may be subject to the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power by the relevant resolution authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by any Bail-in Action and the effects thereof (including any variation, modification and/or amendment to the terms of this Agreement as may be necessary to give effect to any such Bail-in Action), which if the Bail-in Termination Amount is payable by Purchaser to Seller may include, without limitation:

(A) a reduction, in full or in part, of the Bail-in Termination Amount; and/or

(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, the Bail-in Termination Amount into shares or other instruments of ownership, in which case Seller acknowledges and accepts that any such shares or other instruments of ownership may be issued to or conferred upon it as a result of the Bail-in Action.

(ii) Each party acknowledges and accepts that this provision is exhaustive on the matters described herein to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements or understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and that no further notice shall be required between the parties pursuant to the Agreement in order to give effect to the matters described herein.

(iii) The acknowledgements and acceptances contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above will not apply if:

(A) the relevant resolution authority determines that the liabilities arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power pursuant to the law of the third country governing such liabilities or a binding agreement concluded with such third country and in either case the UK Regulations have been amended to reflect such determination; and/or

(B) the UK Regulations have been repealed or amended in such a way as to remove the requirement for the acknowledgements and acceptances contained in clauses (i) and (ii).

(iv) For purposes of this Article 30:

“Bail-in Action” means the exercise of the UK Bail-in Power by the relevant resolution authority in respect of all transactions (or all transactions relating to one or more netting sets, as applicable) under this Agreement.

“Bail-in Termination Amount” means the early termination amount or early termination amounts (howsoever described), together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, in respect of all transactions (or all transactions relating to one or more netting sets, as applicable) under this Agreement (before, for the avoidance of doubt, any such amount is written down or converted by the relevant resolution authority).

“BRRD” means Directive 2014/59/EU establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms.

“Excluded Liabilities” means liabilities excluded from the scope of the contractual recognition of bail-in requirement pursuant to the UK Regulations.

“UK Bail-in Power” means any write-down or conversion power existing from time to time (including, without limitation, any power to amend or alter the maturity of eligible liabilities of an institution under resolution or amend the amount of interest payable under such eligible liabilities or the date on which interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period) under, and exercised in compliance with, any laws, regulations, rules or requirements (together, the “UK Regulations”) in effect in the United Kingdom relating to the transposition of the BRRD as amended from time to time, including but not limited to, the Banking Act 2009 as amended from time to time, and the instruments, rules and standards created thereunder, pursuant to which the obligations of a regulated entity (or other affiliate of a regulated entity) can be reduced (including to zero), cancelled or converted into shares, other securities, or other obligations of such regulated entity or any other person.

A reference to a “regulated entity” is to any BRRD undertaking as such term is defined under the PRA Rulebook promulgated by the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority or to any person falling within IFPRU 11.6, of the FCA Handbook promulgated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), both as amended from time to time, which includes, certain credit institutions, investment firms, and certain of their parent or holding companies.

(b) Contractual Recognition of UK Stay in Resolution. Where a resolution measure is taken in relation to any BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking and that BRRD undertaking or any member of the same group as that BRRD undertaking is a party to this Agreement (any such party to this Agreement being an “Affected Party”), each other party to this Agreement agrees that it shall only be entitled to exercise any termination rights under or rights to enforce a security interest in connection with this Agreement against the Affected Party to the extent that it would be entitled to do so under the Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of any part of the United Kingdom.

For the purpose of this clause, “resolution measure” means a ‘crisis prevention measure’, ‘crisis management measure’ or ‘recognised third-country resolution action’, each with the meaning given in the “PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms and Non-Authorised Persons: Stay in Resolution Instrument 2015”, as may be amended from time to time (the “PRA Contractual Stay Rules”), provided, however, that ‘crisis prevention measure’ shall be interpreted in the manner outlined in Rule 2.3 of the PRA Contractual Stay Rules; “BRRD undertaking”, “group”, “Special Resolution Regime” and “termination right” have the respective meanings given in the PRA Contractual Stay Rules.

(c) Notice Regarding Client Money Rules. Purchaser, as a CRD credit institution (as such term is defined in the rules of the FCA), holds all money received and held by it hereunder as banker and not as trustee. Accordingly, money that is received and held by Purchaser from Seller will not be held in accordance with the provisions of the FCA’s Client Asset Sourcebook relating to client money (the “Client Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules. In particular, Purchaser shall not segregate money received by it from Seller from Purchaser money and Purchaser shall not be liable to account to Seller for any profits made by Purchaser use as banker of such cash and upon failure of Purchaser, the client money distribution rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so Seller will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.

ARTICLE 31

MISCELLANEOUS

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

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature pages to any Transaction Document or certification delivered pursuant thereto delivered in electronic form (such as PDF) shall be considered binding with the same force and effect as original signatures.

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

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

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

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

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

(h) Unless otherwise specifically enumerated, wherever pursuant to this Agreement Purchaser exercises any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to, Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall decide to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole and absolute discretion and such decision by Purchaser shall be final and conclusive.

EXHIBIT V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET

For purposes of the representations and warranties contained in this Exhibit V, the phrases “Seller’s knowledge” or “Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual knowledge or belief of Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the underwriting, origination, acquisitions, servicing, management or sale, as applicable, of the Purchased Assets regarding the matters expressly set forth herein. All information contained in documents which are part of the Servicing Records shall be deemed to be within Seller’s knowledge.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit V shall have the respective meanings given them in the Master Repurchase Agreement to which this Exhibit V is attached.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that the representations and warranties contained in this Exhibit V may be amended from time to time by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion to conform such representations and warranties to Purchaser’s then current standard representations and warranties for commercial mortgage-backed securitization transactions; provided, that such amended representations and warranties shall only apply to Purchased Assets that are originated after the date Seller receives written notice of the amended representations and warranties.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

“Anticipated Repayment Date” shall mean, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan, the date upon which such Mortgage Loan commences accruing interest at an increased interest rate.

“ARD Loan” shall mean a Mortgage Loan the terms of which provide that if, after an Anticipated Repayment Date, the related Mortgagor has not prepaid such Mortgage Loan in full, any principal outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date will accrue interest at an increased interest rate.

“Assignment of Leases” shall mean, any assignment of leases, rents and profits or similar document or instrument executed by a Mortgagor in connection with the origination of a Mortgage Loan.

“Companion Interest” shall mean, with respect to any Purchased Asset, any subordinate or pari passu Mortgage Note or Participation Interest secured directly or indirectly by the same Mortgaged Property.

“Mortgage Rate” shall mean, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related annualized rate at which interest is scheduled (in the absence of a default) to accrue on such Mortgage Loan from time to time in accordance with the related Mortgage Note and applicable law.

“REMIC Provisions” shall mean the provisions of the federal income tax law relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits, which appear at Sections 860A through 860G of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, and related provisions, and proposed, temporary and final Treasury regulations and any published rulings, notices and announcements promulgated thereunder, as the foregoing may be in effect from time to time.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) All Purchased Assets. With respect to each Purchased Asset:

(i) Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing Records are in the possession of the Servicer.

(ii) Ownership of Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Purchaser, no Purchased Asset was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than the rights of the holder of a Companion Interest under the related co-lender or participation agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Asset other than the rights of the holder of a Companion Interest under the related co-lender or participation agreement.

(iii) Purchased Asset File. The Purchased Asset File contains a true, correct and complete copy (or, if required by the Custodial Agreement, original) of each document evidencing or securing the Purchased Asset, or affecting the rights of any holder thereof. With respect to any document contained in the Purchased Asset File that is required to be recorded or filed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Custodial Agreement, such document is in form suitable for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate jurisdiction and has been or will be recorded or filed as required by the Custodial Agreement. With respect to each assignment, assumption, modification, consolidation or extension contained in the Purchased Asset File, if the document or agreement being assigned, assumed, modified, consolidated or extended is required to be recorded or filed, such assignment, assumption, modification, consolidation or extension is in form suitable for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate jurisdiction.

(iv) Purchased Asset Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set forth in the related Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and contains all information required by the Transaction Documents to be contained therein.

(v) Restrictions on Transfer. No Purchased Asset contains any restrictions on transfer or transferee eligibility requirements, in each case, that are commercially unreasonable or would be violated in connection with any transfer, assignment or pledge thereof in favor of Purchaser.

Ex. V-2

(b) Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that (i) constitutes a Purchased Asset or (ii) is related to a Purchased Asset that is a Participation Interest or a Mortgage Note:

(i) Whole Loans. Such Mortgage Loan is a whole Mortgage Loan and not a Participation Interest or other partial interest in a Mortgage Loan.

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

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other operative Purchased Asset Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other operative Purchased Asset Documents.

(iii) Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

(iv) Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement or license agreement include an executed copy of such franchise or license agreement as well as a comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property enforceable by Purchaser or any subsequent holder of such Mortgage Loan (including a securitization trustee) against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator, or pursuant to a replacement comfort letter or similar agreement with Purchaser. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

Ex. V-3

(v) Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or to the extent otherwise permitted in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement (a) the material terms of each Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related operative Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) the Mortgagor has not been released from its material obligations under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

(vi) Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) or any other title exceptions identified to Purchaser in a Requested Exceptions Report (“Title Exceptions”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances or any Title Exceptions) as of the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy, and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and any other Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(vii) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow or closing instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan

Ex. V-4

amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (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; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(viii) Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (7) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth on the related Purchased Asset Schedule, Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(ix) Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Purchased Asset File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

(x) UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the related originator has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or

Ex. V-5

recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by the related Borrower and located on such Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. 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.

(xi) Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four (4) months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within six (6) months of the Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than six (6) months prior to the origination of such Mortgage Loan. Seller has no knowledge of any issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Purchaser in accordance with Exhibit VII.

(xii) Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(xiii) Condemnation. As of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

Ex. V-6

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

(xv) Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with the lender pursuant to such Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or Servicer, and there are no deficiencies ((subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with the lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser (although the same may be held by Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and the Servicer Notice).

(xvi) No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the related Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except (i) in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback or (ii) future advances identified in the related Purchased Asset Schedule).

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

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

Ex. V-7

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program.

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

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

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the related Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Purchaser. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for premiums. All such insurance policies (other

Ex. V-8

than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than ten (10) days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non- payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(xviii) Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(xix) No Encroachments. Based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, after taking into account any applicable provisions of the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments, the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy.

(xx) No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.

(xxi) REMIC. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is identified as REMIC eligible in the related Confirmation, such Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (a) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (b) either: (i) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including

Ex. V-9

buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (A) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan on such date or (B) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (ii) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (b)(i)(A) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (b)(i)(B), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

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

(xxiii) Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by any holder thereof.

(xxiv) Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.

(xxv) Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively, “Zoning

Ex. V-10

Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy, (ii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(xxvi) Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a zoning report, title report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

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

(xxviii) Mortgage Releases. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is identified as REMIC-eligible in the related Confirmation, the terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) [reserved], (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the

Ex. V-11

Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is identified as REMIC-eligible in the related Confirmation, with respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x) if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is identified as REMIC-eligible in the related Confirmation, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan which is identified as REMIC-eligible in the related Confirmation, no Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

(xxix) Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Mortgage Loan require the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements with respect to each Mortgage Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

(xxx) Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk

Ex. V-12

Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(xxxi) Due-on-Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 28 and 33 herein or (vii) any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Interest in such Mortgage Loan or subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with

Ex. V-13

another Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(xxxii) Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a maximum principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(xxxiii) Defeasance. The Mortgage Loan does not permit defeasance.

(xxxiv) Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR (or an alternative index that has become generally accepted as a replacement to LIBOR) plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). For this purpose, “LIBOR” shall mean (a) the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period equal to thirty (30) days, which appears on the display designated as “BBAM” on Bloomberg (or such other display as may replace “BBAM” on Bloomberg), or any successor thereto, as the London Interbank Offering Rate as of 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable determination date or (b) if such rate does not appear on said “BBAM” display, then the arithmetic mean (rounded as aforesaid) of certain offered quotations of rates to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

(xxxv) Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

Ex. V-14

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of the originator, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

a.The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

b.The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

c.The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or ten (10) years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

d.The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

e.The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or if such consent is necessary it has been obtained), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

f.Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date;

Ex. V-15

g.The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

h.A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

i.The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender;

j.Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (k)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

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

l.Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(xxxvi) Servicing. The servicing and collection practices with respect to the Mortgage Loan have at all times been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans that are similar to such Mortgage Loan.

(xxxvii) Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Mortgage Loan

Ex. V-16

have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit V.

(xxxviii) [Reserved].

(xxxix) No Material Default; Payment Record. No Mortgage Loan has been more than thirty (30) days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of its Purchase Date, no Mortgage Loan is more than thirty (30) days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit V. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

(xl) Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(xli) Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by such Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized or cross defaulted with another Mortgage Loan that is a Purchased Asset, no Mortgage Loan that a Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of any other Mortgage Loan.

(xlii) Environmental Conditions. At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by environmental laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the related Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the related Mortgaged Property in compliance with all environmental laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the related Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the related Mortgaged Property.

Ex. V-17

A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared during such period), and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the related Purchase Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

In the case of each Mortgage Loan with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance Policy has been issued by the issuer set forth in the related exception report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii) (A) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Properly,

Ex. V-18

the related Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Mortgage Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Mortgage Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Mortgage Loan.

(xliii) Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within six (6) months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(xliv) Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Mortgage Loan, except as set forth on the related Purchased Asset Schedule.

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

(xlvi) Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

(xlvii) Affiliates. The related Mortgagor is not an affiliate of Seller.

Ex. V-19

(c) Senior Notes. With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Mortgage Note, such note is a Senior Note (with no existing more-senior Mortgage Note or Participation Interest) related to a Mortgage Loan that complies with all of the representations set forth in Section B above. If such Mortgage Note is pari passu with any other Mortgage Note, the holder of such Mortgage Note is the lead and controlling holder as between such pari passu Mortgage Note pursuant to a co-lender agreement that is legal, valid and enforceable as between its parties.

(d) Participation Interests. With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Participation Interest:

(i) Mortgage Loan. The related Mortgage Loan complies with all of the representations set forth in Section B above.

(ii) Performing Participation. Such Participation Interest is performing and is evidenced by a physical Participation Certificate.

(iii) Record Holder; Status of Participation Agreement. Such Participation Interest is a senior or pari passu participation interest (in each case, with no existing more-senior participation interest) in a whole Mortgage Loan. Seller is the record mortgagee of the related Mortgage Loan (“Record Holder”) pursuant to a participation agreement that is legal, valid and enforceable as between its parties. If such Participation Interest is (i) a pari passu participation interest or (ii) a senior participation interest with respect to which no related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the related participation agreement provides that the holder of such Participation Interest has full power, authority and discretion to service (or cause to be serviced) the related Mortgage Loan, modify and amend the terms thereof, pursue remedies and enforcement actions, including foreclosure or other legal action, without consent or approval of any holder of a Companion Interest (each, a “Companion Interest Holder”). If such Participation Interest is a senior participation interest with respect to which the related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the control rights granted to the holder of such junior participation pursuant to the related participation agreement are customary for holders of junior participations in commercial mortgage loans.

(iv) Costs and Expenses. If the Participation Interest is pari passu with any Companion Interest, the holder of such Companion Interest is required to pay its pro rata share of any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Mortgage Loan upon request therefor by the Record Holder or a servicer). If the Participation Interest is senior to any Companion Interest, the holder of such Companion Interest is required to bear any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Mortgage Loan prior to the holder of such Participation Interest.

(v) Companion Interest Holders. The related participation agreement is effective to convey the related Companion Interest to the related Companion Interest Holders and is not intended to be or effective as a loan or other financing secured by the related Mortgaged Property. The Record Holder owes no fiduciary duty or obligation to any Companion Interest Holder pursuant to the applicable participation agreement.

Ex. V-20

(vi) Purchased Asset File. The Purchased Asset File with respect to such Participation Interest includes all material documents evidencing and/or securing such Participation Interest and since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or to the extent otherwise permitted in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement, the terms of such documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any material respect except as set forth in the documents contained in the Purchased Asset File. Each assignment of the related Participation Certificate contained in the Purchased Asset File is in the form required by the related participation agreement or is otherwise sufficient to assign such Participation Certificate.

(vii) No Defaults or Waivers under Participation Documents. All amounts due and owing to any Companion Interest Holder pursuant to the related participation agreement or related documents have been duly and timely paid. (a) There is (i) no default, breach or violation existing under any participation agreement or related document, and (ii) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, or violation under any participation agreement or related document, and (b) no default, breach or violation under any participation agreement or related document has been waived, that, in the case of either (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Participation Interest; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or violation that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit V. No person other than the holder of such Participation Interest or the related Companion Interests (or, in each case, a pledgee of any such Participation Interests) may declare any default, breach or violation under the applicable participation agreement or related documents.

(viii) Bankruptcy. No issuer of such Participation Interest or Companion Interest Holder is a debtor in any outstanding in state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(ix) No Known Liabilities. 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 Participation Interest is or may become obligated.

(x) Transfer. The Record Holder role, rights and responsibilities are assignable by Seller without consent or approval other than those that have been obtained and Seller will timely deliver to Custodian all necessary assignments, notices, and documents in order to convey record title of the related Mortgage Loan and other rights and interests to Purchaser in its capacity as successor Record Holder;

(xi) No Repurchase. The terms of the related participation agreement do not require or obligate the Record Holder or its successor or assigns to repurchase any Companion Interest under any circumstances.

(xii) No Misrepresentations. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate thereof, in selling any Companion Interest to a Companion Interest Holder, committed any fraud or made any misrepresentation or omission of information necessary for such Companion Interest Holder to make an informed decision to purchase such Companion Interest.

Ex. V-21

(xiii) UCC. Such Participation Interest (i) is not dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) does not by its terms expressly provide that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is not Investment Property, (iv) is not held in a Securities Account and (v) does not constitute a Security or a Financial Asset. The related Participation Certificate is an Instrument. For purposes of this paragraph (13), capitalized terms undefined in the Master Repurchase Agreement have the meaning given to such term in the UCC.

Re:

Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018 (as such agreement may be amended modified and/or restated, the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and between CMTG BB Finance LLC (“Seller”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Purchaser”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“You” or “Servicer”), has been engaged by Seller to service certain multifamily/commercial loans, B Interests, mezzanine loans and participation interests in multifamily/commercial loans and/or mezzanine loans (collectively, the “Serviced Assets”) pursuant to a Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”), by and between Seller and You, as servicer, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Servicing Agreement.

You are hereby notified that pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, Seller plans to, from time to time, sell to Purchaser certain Serviced Assets (the “Purchased Assets”). In connection with each such sale of Purchased Assets, Seller shall, by written notice to Servicer with copy to Purchaser, designate Serviced Assets that shall be treated as Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms of this instruction letter (the “Instruction Letter”) and all Purchased Assets so designated shall be serviced and administered by Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Instruction Letter and the Servicing Agreement until Purchaser confirms in writing that such Purchased Assets are no longer subject to the Repurchase Agreement or Servicer is terminated with respect to such Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms of this Instruction Letter and the Servicing Agreement. Seller shall provide to Purchaser, simultaneously with the delivery thereof to Servicer, a copy of each Critical to Board Package delivered to Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01(b) of the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall promptly acknowledge in writing (which may be by electronic mail) to Purchaser and Seller the commencement of servicing with respect to any new Purchased Asset.

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement, You hereby acknowledge and agree that:

Interest of Purchaser. The Purchased Assets will be sold to Purchaser on a “servicing released” basis, together with all Servicing Rights with respect thereto and, in connection therewith, the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Rights will also be pledged to Purchaser. All of the rights of Seller under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to the related Servicing Rights, have been assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, and Servicer acknowledges and consents to such assignment. You acknowledge that neither You nor any other Person, other than Purchaser, owns or has any rights with respect to the Servicing Rights of the Purchased Assets, except for Your rights pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. You further agree to clearly mark the Servicing Files related to the Purchased Assets and any Purchased Asset documents held by You to reflect the ownership thereof by Purchaser.

“Servicing Rights” shall mean rights of any Person, to administer, service or subservice, the Purchased Assets or to possess related Servicing Records.

“Servicing Records” shall mean all servicing records in Servicer’s possession, including but not limited to the Servicing Agreement, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records, in each case relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets.

Revocable License to Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser has agreed to grant to Seller a revocable license (which license shall automatically be revoked (a) every thirty days unless Purchaser provides written notice to Seller that such license is extended for another thirty days or (b) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Repurchase Agreement) to cause You to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and expense pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement and for the benefit of Purchaser.

Agreement to Service. You agree to service the Purchased Assets, and to hold all amounts on account of, and the Servicing Records with respect to, the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and this Instruction Letter for the benefit of Purchaser, and, except as otherwise provided herein and subject to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement and this Instruction Letter, Purchaser shall have all of the rights, but none of the duties or obligations (including, without limitation, any obligations regarding the payment of any fees, indemnification, costs, reimbursement or expenses, except as set forth in this Instruction Letter) of Seller under the Servicing Agreement. Where there is a conflict between the Servicing Agreement and this Instruction Letter, this Instruction Letter shall govern. Servicer and Seller each agree that Purchaser is and shall be an express third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement.

Ex. XI-3

Covenant to Notify.

(a) Generally. Servicer agrees to deliver directly to Purchaser (i) at the following email address(es): [***], [***] [***], [***], [***], [***] or such other email addresses as may hereafter be provided to Servicer by Purchaser in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date, the Monthly Remittance Report on the same date such information is required to be delivered to the Seller, (ii) to provide Purchaser with access to any information with respect to the Purchased Assets that is available to Seller pursuant to the Servicing Agreement including, but not limited to, access to its internet website so that Purchaser may have access to Loan information and (iii) upon request of Purchaser, any other any information required to be delivered to the Seller pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

Website Access; Investment Schedule. You agree to provide Purchaser with access to a password protected website or other on-line service maintained by You, that shall contain copies of any report or summary relating to the Purchased Assets prepared by You pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

Subservicing/Assignment. You may not, without Purchaser’s prior written consent retain any sub-servicer to provide cash management or other cashiering servicing for any of the Purchased Assets or assign your rights, duties and/or obligations under the Servicing Agreement. If any servicing or administering of the Purchased Assets is performed by a sub-servicer, You will remain obligated and liable to Purchaser for the servicing and administering of the Purchased Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement and this Instruction Letter without diminution of any such duties and obligation or liability by virtue of the involvement of such sub-servicer.

Remittances. Subject to paragraph 8 below, Servicer shall remit all amounts collected on the Servicer Remittance Date with respect to the Purchased Assets in accordance with the wiring instructions provided below, or as the Purchaser may otherwise direct Servicer in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related Servicer Remittance Date, and based upon (i) direction from an authorized officer identified by Purchaser on the Certificate of Authority (as defined in the Servicing Agreement) and (ii) such authorized officer of Purchaser completing the wire transfer servicing agreement in the form reasonably acceptable to Servicer:

Ex. XI-4

Purchased Assets (and not any other loans serviced pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) otherwise due and payable to Servicer and (y) investment earnings on amounts in the Servicer Account and Escrow Account to the extent the same is payable to Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Agreement shall be withheld from collections with respect to the Purchased Assets prior to remittance in accordance with paragraph 7 above and any other amounts due and payable to Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement shall be paid by Seller directly to Servicer or, to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, withheld from collections on loans that are not Purchased Assets.

Default Notice. You further agree, upon your receipt of written notification (a “Default Notice”) from Purchaser that an Event of Default (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement) has occurred and is continuing under the Repurchase Agreement, You shall be terminated (such termination to be completed within thirty (30) days of Default Notice) as Servicer with respect to any Purchased Assets identified in such notice as excluded (the “Servicing Excluded Purchased Assets”) and, solely with respect to the remaining Purchased Assets (the “Remaining Purchased Assets”) (i) Purchaser or its designee shall assume all of the rights (but none of the obligations) of Seller under the Servicing Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, (ii) You shall follow the instructions of Purchaser or its designee (such instructions shall be consistent with the servicing obligations of Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) with respect to the Remaining Purchased Assets and deliver to Purchaser or its designee any information with respect to the Remaining Purchased Assets reasonably requested by Purchaser or its designee and in accordance with the obligations under the Servicing Agreement and in the possession of Servicer, (iii) You shall not follow any instructions received from Seller or any other Person (other than Purchaser or Purchaser’s designee) with respect to the Remaining Purchased Assets, (iv) Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, sell its right to the Remaining Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and (v) You shall treat this Instruction Letter as a separate and distinct servicing agreement between You and Purchaser (incorporating the terms of the Servicing Agreement by reference), subject to no setoff or counterclaims against Purchaser arising prior to such Default Notice in Your favor (or the favor of any third party claiming through You) under any other agreement or arrangement between You and Seller, or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Servicing Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser be liable for any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements or expenses incurred by You or Seller, or any of Your or its respective affiliates, or otherwise owed to You or Seller, or any you Your or its respective affiliates at any time prior to a Default Notice or at any time with respect to any Excluded Purchased Asset. For so long as Servicer continues to be the servicer of any Remaining Purchased Assets at Purchaser’s direction, Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed all of the duties, obligations, and liabilities (other than payment of any termination fee to Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of the Servicing Agreement, which shall be solely the obligation of Seller) of Seller to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Remaining Purchased Assets, to the extent arising following the delivery of the Default Notice.

Servicer Reliance. Servicer may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion or document (including, but not limited to, electronically confirmed facsimiles thereof) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Servicer shall have no obligation to review or confirm that actions taken pursuant to the foregoing in accordance with this Instruction Letter comply with any other agreement or document to which it is not a

Ex. XI-5

party. In particular, Servicer need not investigate whether Purchaser is entitled under the Repurchase Agreement to give a Default Notice and Seller shall indemnify and hold Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted for any actions taken in good faith by Servicer in connection with the delivery of such Default Notice.

Termination.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Servicing Agreement, Your rights to service some or all of the Purchased Assets shall automatically terminate (i) upon Your receiving a written termination notice from Purchaser or its designee or (ii) on the thirtieth (30th) day following the execution of this Instruction Letter if Purchaser sends a notice to Servicer that Seller’s license to cause the Purchased Assets to be serviced has been revoked or has not been renewed in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement (a “Servicing Termination”); provided, in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement, Purchaser may elect to extend Seller’s license (which shall cause the Purchased Assets to continue to be serviced by You), and thereby the term of this Instruction Letter is extended in writing for the applicable additional thirty (30) day period, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of such extension. In no event shall the term of the Servicing Agreement be extended for more than 30 days in any single extension.

(b) In the event of a Servicing Termination, You hereby agree to (i) deliver to Purchaser or its designee all funds held by you with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset(s) so affected and account for all funds, (ii) deliver to Purchaser or its designee electronic copies of the related Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by You, (iii) reasonably cooperate with the transfer of servicing to Purchaser or its designee and (iv) direct any party liable for any payment under any such Purchased Assets to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to Purchaser or as Purchaser shall direct including, without limitation, sending “goodbye” letters.

The transfer of servicing and such records by You shall be in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, and such transfer shall include the transfer of the net amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors.

Due Diligence. Servicer acknowledges that Purchaser or its designee has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets and with respect to Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made under the Repurchase Agreement or otherwise.
