(S) As of the proposed Purchase Date, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Guaranty) shall not be less than 1.40 to 1.00.

(c) Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 3(a), Seller shall sell, transfer, convey and assign to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on a servicing released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller (which Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Buyers pro rata based on their respective percentage interests in the rights and obligations of all Buyers under the Transaction Documents or as otherwise specified in the related Confirmation). To the extent any additional limited liability company is formed by division of Seller pursuant to a “plan of division” under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (and without prejudice to Article 10(b)), Seller shall cause any such additional limited liability company to sell, transfer, convey and assign to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on a servicing released basis all of such additional limited liability company’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights in the same manner and to the same extent as the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment by Seller on the Closing Date. With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction and shall be reset on the Pricing Rate Determination Date for each of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Periods for such

Transaction. Administrative Agent or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and notify Seller of such rate for such period each such Pricing Rate Determination Date.

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

(e) Early Repurchase and Mandatory Repurchase.

(i) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand and repurchase the Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(A) Seller notifies Administrative Agent in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Asset, setting forth the Early Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the Purchased Asset to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date;

(B) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Asset, (y) any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(i) of this Agreement) with respect to such Purchased Asset against transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets;

(C) on such Early Repurchase Date, in addition to the amounts set forth in sub clause (B) above, if a Margin Credit Event exists on such Early Repurchase Date and Administrative Agent has delivered a Margin Deficit Notice to Seller pursuant to Article 4(a), Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount sufficient to cure such Margin Deficit in accordance with Article 4(a); and

(D) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays any Exit Fee which may be payable in connection with the repurchase of such Purchased Asset pursuant to Section 3 of the Fee Letter, which provision is incorporated herein by reference.

(ii) No repurchase in whole or in part, and no partial reduction of the Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset that is (i) a Senior Mortgage Loan may be made unless the Purchased Asset that is the related Junior Mortgage Loan, Mezzanine Loan or B-Note, if any, is also repurchased in whole or, in the case of a partial repurchase or partial reduction of the Purchase Price of the Senior Mortgage Loan, the related Junior Mortgage Loan, Mezzanine Loan or B-Note, if any, is also partially repurchased or the Purchase Price thereof is also partially reduced, on a pro rata basis, as applicable, or (ii) a senior Participation Interest may be made unless the Purchased Asset that is the related junior Participation Interest, if any, is also repurchased in whole or, in the case of a partial repurchase or partial reduction of the Purchase Price of the senior Participation Interest, the related junior Participation Interest, if any, is also partially repurchased or the Purchase Price thereof is also partially reduced, on a pro rata basis, as applicable. If any repurchase of a Purchased Asset that is (x) a Senior Mortgage Loan is required pursuant to this Section 3(e), Seller shall also repurchase the related Junior Mortgage Loan, Mezzanine Loan, Participation Interest or B-Note, if any, in full and (y) a senior Participation Interest is required pursuant to this Section 3(e), Seller shall also repurchase the related junior Participation Interest, if any, in full.

(iii) In addition to any other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Buyers under any Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Purchased Asset becoming a Defaulted Asset due to the occurrence of any one or more elements of the definition of “Defaulted Asset” set forth herein, Seller shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 3(e)(i)(B)-(D), repurchase any such Purchased Asset on the date (the “Mandatory Early Repurchase Date”) that is two (2) Business Days after the earlier of Seller’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent or Seller’s Knowledge of the occurrence thereof.

(f) On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets being repurchased and any Income in respect thereof received by Administrative Agent (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Upon extension of the Facility Termination Date pursuant to Article 3(o) hereunder, the Repurchase Date for any Purchased Asset shall be automatically extended to the new Facility Termination Date as so extended hereunder.

(g) (i) Benchmark Replacement.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market or otherwise, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Benchmark, but a Benchmark Transition Event (as provided in the definition of Benchmark Transition Event as set forth herein) has not yet occurred or (ii) the Benchmark does not fairly and accurately reflect the costs to Buyers of effecting or maintaining the Transactions, then Administrative Agent shall give written notice to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to all outstanding Transactions, until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent, shall be a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) the Floor, plus (ii) 0.25%, plus (iii) the Applicable Spread.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

(A) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(B) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will promptly notify Seller of (A) any occurrence of (i) a Benchmark Transition Event and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to Article 3(g)(i) or (ii), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and without consent from Seller or any other party to any other Transaction Document.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Administrative Agent or any Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Administrative Agent or any Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions or, if such adoption of or change in Requirement of Law makes it unlawful for Administrative Agent or Buyers to continue to maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to the Benchmark Replacement on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Article 3(n) of this Agreement.

(i) Seller shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Buyers and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that Administrative Agent or Buyers may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in repurchasing any Purchased Asset on the proposed Early Repurchase Date, after Seller has given written notice in accordance with Article 3(e), (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date, including Breakage Costs, (iii) a default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Administrative Agent and Buyers of a proposed Transaction and Administrative Agent and Buyers have agreed in writing to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ enforcement of the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue any Lien created under any Transaction Documents, and/or (vi) Administrative Agent and Buyers entering into any of the Transaction Documents or owning any Purchased Item. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Administrative Agent to Seller in writing and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error. This Article 3(i) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(j) 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 any Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:

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

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any required reserves, other reserves, 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 any Buyer that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark hereunder; or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Buyer, by an amount that such Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, 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 within ten (10) days pay such Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that to the extent any such determination by such Buyer and imposition of such increased costs apply to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with such Buyer, such determination and imposition of such increased costs will not be applied to Seller unless such Buyer is imposing such increased costs on substantially all of its customers similarly situated to Seller under similar repurchase facilities. If any Buyer becomes entitled to payment of such additional amounts under this Article 3(j), it shall within nine (9) months of becoming aware of such event, notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, that Seller shall not be required to compensate such Buyer pursuant to this Article 3(j) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Buyer notifies Seller of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Such notification shall include reasonable detail as to Buyer’s calculation of such additional amounts, shall be submitted by such Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(k) If Administrative Agent shall have determined, or is advised by any Buyer, that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Buyer or any corporation controlling such Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent or any Buyer, as the case may be, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Administrative Agent to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent on behalf of any Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that to the extent any such determination by such Buyer and imposition of such increased costs apply to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with such Buyer, such determination and imposition of such increased costs will not be applied to Seller unless such Buyer is imposing such increased costs on substantially all of its customers similarly situated to Seller under similar repurchase facilities. If any Buyer becomes entitled to payment

of such additional amounts under this Article 3(k), it shall within nine (9) months of becoming aware of such event, notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, that Seller shall not be required to compensate such Buyer pursuant to this Article 3(k) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Buyer notifies Seller of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Such notification shall include reasonable detail as to Buyer’s calculation of such additional amounts, shall be submitted by such Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(l) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines or directives promulgated in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities pursuant to Basel III, in each case are deemed to be an adoption of or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Transaction Document, if Administrative Agent exercises any right to convert the Benchmark for any Transactions hereunder to a Benchmark Replacement under Articles 3(g) or to collect additional amounts from Seller under Articles 3(j) or 3(k) then Seller shall have the right to terminate all of the Transactions (in whole but not in part) by paying to Administrative Agent the Repurchase Prices for each of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any Exit Fee in connection with such payment.

(n) If Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the last day of a Pricing Rate Period, Seller shall indemnify Buyers and hold Buyers harmless from any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer sustains as a direct consequence thereof (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Buyers shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error. This Article 3(n) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

(o) (i) Seller shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”) to extend the then current Facility Termination Date from July 25, 2027 to July 25, 2028 (the “First Extension Period”) provided that: (i) Seller delivers notice of its exercise of such First Extension Option no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before July 25, 2027, (ii) no Material Adverse Effect, Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall exist on the date of Seller’s request to extend or on the then current Facility Termination Date, (iii) all representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects as of the then current Facility Termination Date (except as set forth in any Requested Exception Report) and (iv) on or before the then current Facility Termination Date, Seller shall have paid the Extension Fee to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers.

(ii) If the First Extension Option is exercised, Seller may request (the “Second Extension Option”; together with the First Extension Option, the “Extension Options”) that Administrative Agent agree to extend the then current Facility Termination Date from July 25, 2028, to July 25, 2029 (the “Second Extension Period”; together with the First Extension Period, the “Extension Periods”), by delivering such request to Administrative Agent no earlier than

ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before July 25, 2028, which Second Extension Option may be approved or denied in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and in any case shall be approved only if (i) no Material Adverse Effect, Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall exist on the date of Seller’s request to extend or on the then current Facility Termination Date, (ii) all representations and warranties in the Transaction Documents shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects as of the then current Facility Termination Date (except as set forth in any Requested Exception Report), and (iii) on or before the then current Facility Termination Date, Seller shall have paid the Extension Fee to Buyers.

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

(q) Seller shall timely pay, without duplication, (i) any Other Taxes imposed on such Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) any Other Taxes imposed on Buyers or Assignee upon written notice from such Person setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Other Taxes.

(r) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Article 3, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

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

(t) Any Buyer or Assignee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, such Buyer or Assignee, if reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as will enable Seller or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Buyer or Assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Articles 3(t)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in such Buyer’s or Assignee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or such Assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or such Assignee.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) (1) any Buyer or any Assignee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Buyer or such Assignee acquires an interest under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that such Buyer or such Assignee is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax and (2) Administrative Agent, on or before the date first set forth above, and any successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date that such successor Administrative Agent becomes Administrative Agent, and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller, shall deliver to Seller executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee 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 W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8-BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-A to the effect that such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-B or Exhibit VIII-C,

IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Assignee or Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Assignee or Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Assignee or Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer or Foreign Assignee acquires an interest under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Buyer and Assignee, as well as Administrative Agent, agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller (and Administrative Agent, if applicable) in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(u) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Article 3(p) or Article 3(s) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Article 3(p) or Article 3(s)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Article 3(p) or Article 3(s) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 3(u) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3(u), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 3(u) 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 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.

(v) Each party’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Buyer or Assignee, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(w) If any Buyer or Assignee requests compensation under this Article 3 or, if Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer or any Assignee or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer or Assignee pursuant to Article 3, or if any Buyer or Assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to Administrative Agent and such Buyer or Assignee, either (A) require such Buyer or Assignee to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article 17), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Articles 3(j) or (f)) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may include (1) another Buyer, if a Buyer accepts such assignment or (2) another office, branch or affiliate of the Buyer or Assignee that is requesting compensation under this Article 3) or (B) repurchase such Buyer’s interest in each of the Purchased Assets in accordance with Article 3(e) (and in such event, no Exit Fee shall be payable by Seller); provided that, in either case, (i) such assigning Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for all Transactions, Price Differential accreted with respect thereto, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Repurchase Price principal and accreted Price Differential and fees) or Seller (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Article 3(j) or payments required to be made pursuant to Article 3(f), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Buyer or Assignee shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or Assignee or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(x) On any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date, Seller shall have the right, from time to time, to transfer cash to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for the purpose of reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of any such Purchased Asset without terminating the Transaction and without release of any Purchased Items; provided, that (i) any such reduction in outstanding Purchase Price occurring on a date other than a Remittance Date shall be required to be accompanied by payment of all unpaid accrued Price Differential as of the applicable Business Day on the amount of such reduction, (ii) Seller provides Administrative Agent with one (1) Business Day prior notice with respect to any reduction in outstanding Purchase Price occurring on any date that is not a Remittance Date, and (iii) Seller may only transfer cash in respect of a particular Purchased Asset no more than two (2) times per calendar month. In connection with any such reduction of outstanding Purchase Price pursuant to this Article 3(x), Administrative Agent and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Any transfer of cash made pursuant to this Article 3(x) shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000.

(y) If at any time prior to the Repurchase Date Buyer’s Margin Amount for any Purchased Asset is greater than the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset (“Margin Availability”), Seller may, on any Business Day, submit to Administrative Agent a request that Administrative Agent transfer cash to Seller so as to increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset in the amount (not to exceed the Margin Availability) requested by Seller (a “Margin Availability Advance”). The Margin Availability Advance shall be funded by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on the date requested

by Seller (which requested funding date shall be one (1) Business Day following the date of Seller’s delivery of a request for a Margin Availability Advance if such request for a Margin Availability Advance is delivered by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day). It shall be a condition to Administrative Agent’s obligation to make any Margin Availability Advance that (i) as of the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, (ii) the funding of the Margin Availability Advance would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, and (iii) a Margin Availability Advance shall be available no more than three (3) times per calendar month. In connection with any funding of a Margin Availability Advance pursuant to this Article 3(y), Administrative Agent and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Any Margin Availability Advance shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000.

(z) Subject to Article 4, at any time prior to the Repurchase Date, in the event a future funding is made or is to be made by Seller pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents for a Future Funding Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Administrative Agent a request that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, transfer cash to Seller in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Advance Rate multiplied by the amount of such future funding (a “Future Funding Advance”), which Future Funding Advance shall increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Provided that (i) as of the funding of such Future Funding Advance, no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Future Funding Advance, (ii) the funding of the Future Funding Advance would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, (iii) the Future Funding Advance would not cause the Purchase Price of the applicable Future Funding Purchased Asset or the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets, in either such case, to exceed the Concentration Limit and (iv) Seller shall have demonstrated to Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that all conditions to the future funding under the Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Article 3(z) (and in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller in such request) on the date requested by Seller, which date shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days following the delivery of a request for such Future Funding Advance from Seller and the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the conditions precedent to Administrative Agent’s obligation to make any Future Funding Advance as set forth in this Article 3(z) have been satisfied (or, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, waived). In connection with any funding of a Future Funding Advance pursuant to this Article 3(z), Administrative Agent and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset and any other modifications to the terms set forth on the existing Confirmation. Any Future Funding Advance shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any Future Funding Advance unless Seller has previously or simultaneously with Administrative Agent’s funding of a Future Funding Advance funded or caused to be funded to the underlying borrower (or to an escrow agent or as otherwise directed by the underlying borrower) in respect of such Purchased Asset.

(aa) Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, fees in consideration of the arrangement and administration of this Agreement and the Transactions to the extent applicable in each case, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between Seller and Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

If a Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation for any Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset results in an increase in the principal balance of such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller may request that Administrative Agent (i) increase the maximum Purchase Price for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset to reflect such principal increase (a “SPP Maximum Purchase Price Increase”) (but in no event shall such Starwood Pari Passu Maximum Purchase Price Increase cause such maximum Purchase Price to exceed the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price for the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan) and (ii) make an additional advance (an “SPP Additional Advance”) in a specified amount up to the Margin Excess for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset after giving effect to such Starwood Pari Passu Maximum Purchase Price Increase. Administrative Agent’s obligation to make any SPP Additional Advance shall be subject to satisfaction of all of the following conditions (collectively, the “SPP Additional Advance Conditions”):

Day on which Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the conditions precedent to Administrative Agent’s obligation to make any SPP Additional Advance as set forth in this Article 3(bb) have been satisfied (or, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, waived). In connection with any funding of an SPP Additional Advance pursuant to this Article 3(bb), Administrative Agent and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth (v) the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset, (w) the then outstanding principal balance of the related Starwood Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, (x) the adjusted principal balances of the Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset and Companion Interests after giving effect to the applicable Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, (y) the SPP Mortgage Loan Maximum Purchase Price and (z) any other revised terms for such Transaction.

(iv) In no event shall there be more than three (3) Transactions involving Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Assets outstanding under this Agreement at any time.

(v) In the event any Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset shall fail to satisfy the parameters of a “Starwood Pari Passu Participation Interest” as set forth in the definition thereof, such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset shall not be an Eligible Asset, and Seller shall repurchase such Starwood Pari Passu Purchased Asset in the manner provided in Article 12(c) hereof.

(vi) If Administrative Agent shall fail to approve any proposed Starwood Pari Passu Conversion or any proposed Starwood Pari Passu Reallocation, Seller shall have the right to repurchase the affected Purchased Asset in accordance with the provisions of Article 3(f) hereof (other than the required notice to Buyer thereunder), without payment of any Exit Fee.

ARTICLE 4.

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may determine and re-determine Buyers’ Margin Amount for any Purchased Asset on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect solely for internal purposes. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Margin Credit Event with respect to any Purchased Asset and if at any time Buyers’ Margin Amount for all Purchased Assets is less than the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”), Administrative Agent may by notice to Seller in the form of Exhibit VII (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) require Seller to either: (i) repurchase the Purchased Asset giving rise to such Margin Deficit at its Repurchase Price, (ii) make a payment in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, (iii) reallocate the outstanding Purchase Price among all Purchased Assets, or (iv) choose any combination of the foregoing, as Seller may elect, such that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases and payments, Buyers’ Margin Amount for all Purchased Assets, shall be equal to or greater than the aggregate Repurchase Price for all Purchased Assets; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall not be required to cure a Margin Deficit unless and until the aggregate Margin Deficit equals or exceeds $1,000,000 on the date the Margin Deficit Notice is delivered. Seller shall perform the

obligations under this Article 4(a) not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Margin Deficit Notice, provided that the Margin Deficit Notice is received prior to 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day or not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Margin Deficit Notice if the Margin Deficit Notice is received after 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day.

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

(c) In addition to the Appraisals delivered by Seller in accordance with Article 11(aa), Administrative Agent shall have the right to require additional Appraisals, as applicable from time-to-time relating to any or all of the Purchased Assets; provided that (i) Administrative Agent shall not require Appraisals with respect to any Purchased Asset more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) to the extent Administrative Agent requires Appraisals with respect to any Purchased Asset more than once in any twelve (12) month period, Administrative Agent shall bear the cost of such Appraisal. Administrative Agent shall request such additional Appraisals in writing and Seller shall procure and deliver such requested Appraisals within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of such request (or such other time period as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). In the event that any additional Appraisals relating to a Purchased Asset and requested pursuant to this Article 4(c), when considered together with the other criteria used to determine Market Value in accordance with this Agreement, results in a Margin Deficit relating to the applicable Purchased Asset, then the cost of such additional valuation shall be an obligation of Seller. In the event that any additional Appraisals relating to a Purchased Asset and requested pursuant to this Article 4(c), when considered together with the other criteria used to determine Market Value in accordance with this Agreement, does not result in a Margin Deficit relating to the applicable Purchased Asset, then the cost of such additional appraisal or valuation shall be an obligation of Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 5.

INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) Each Depository Account shall be established at the applicable Depository and shall be subject to the applicable Depository Agreement. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have sole dominion and control over the Depository Account. Each Depository Account shall, at all times, be subject to the applicable Depository Agreement. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income shall be deposited directly by the Primary Servicer (or by any other servicer to the extent any Purchased Asset is not serviced by the Primary Servicer) into the Depository Account in accordance with the applicable Re-Direction Letter. Depository shall then apply such Income in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(c) and (d) of this Agreement.

(b) For all Purchased Assets, Seller shall deliver to each servicer or trustee, as applicable, with respect to such Purchased Asset an irrevocable direction letter in the form of Exhibit XII (each, a “Re-Direction Letter”), instructing the applicable servicer or trustee, as applicable, with respect to such Purchased Asset to pay all Income payable under the related Purchased Asset into the Depository Account. If any such servicer or trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Purchased Asset forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to Seller or its Affiliate, Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, deliver an additional Re-Direction Letter to the applicable servicer or trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Purchased Asset and make other best efforts to cause such party to forward such amounts directly to the applicable Depository Account.

(c) So long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit with respect to any Purchased Asset shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Assets (other than scheduled or unscheduled Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding as of such Remittance Date;

(ii) second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Administrative Agent, Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(iii) third, to Seller, the remainder, if any.

(d) So long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing, any Principal Payments shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Depository Account in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, until the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to Buyers’ Margin Amount for such Purchased Asset as of the date of such payment (as determined by Administrative Agent after giving effect to such Principal Payment and application of net sales proceeds, if applicable);

(ii) second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent, Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(iii) third, to Seller, any remainder.

(e) If Administrative Agent shall have determined that a Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing, but no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) received by the Depository in respect of a Purchased Asset shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Assets as of such Business Day;

(ii) second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount to reduce the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Asset giving rise to such Margin Deficit until the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to Buyers’ Margin Amount as of the date of such payment (as determined by Administrative Agent after giving effect to all Principal Payments and application of net sale proceeds, if any, on such day);

(iii) third, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent, Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(iv) fourth, to Seller, any remainder.

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

(ii) second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on account of the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset until the Repurchase Price has been reduced to zero;

(iii) third, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, (a) the entire Repurchase Price on all Purchased Assets (regardless of acceleration or otherwise of Seller’s obligations), and (b) all out-of-pocket costs of collection incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with enforcement of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents; and

(iv) fourth, to Seller, any remainder.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations hereunder shall be fully recourse to Seller.

ARTICLE 6.

SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyers to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets (other than for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income and franchise Tax purposes as more fully described in Article 21(g)). However, in order to preserve Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations (including obligations for which it is jointly liable) to Administrative Agent and Buyers 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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items (as defined below) to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party or in respect of which it is jointly liable and all other amounts owing by it to Buyers hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents, and any other obligation of Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder. All of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”:

(i) the Purchased Assets;

(ii) the Purchased Asset Documents, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, insurance policies relating to the Purchased Assets, and collection and escrow accounts and letters of credit relating to the Purchased Assets;

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

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

(b) Without limiting Article 6(a) hereto, to secure payment of the Repurchase Obligations owing to Buyers, Seller hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”:

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

(ii) the Purchased Items;

(iii) all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Records; and

(iv) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

(d) The security interest of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller repurchasing each Purchased Asset and obligations for which it is jointly liable. For the avoidance of doubt, the security interest of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in the Collateral shall not terminate upon Administrative Agent’s determination of the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to be zero. Upon such termination, Administrative Agent shall 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 Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York and Delaware Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Administrative Agent, 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 (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent hereunder). Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file UCC financing statements naming Seller as debtor and Administrative Agent as secured party and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of debtor whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising”.

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

ARTICLE 7.

PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Asset shall be transferred to Administrative Agent or its designee (including the Custodian), on behalf of Buyers, against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller or, at Seller’s option, an Acceptable Attorney pursuant to an escrow letter or other undertaking approved by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction (other than for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income and franchise Tax purposes as more fully described in Article 21(g)).

(b) On or before each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement or to one or more Acceptable Attorneys, each pursuant to a Bailee Letter, whereby the named bailee shall hold the originals of the Purchased Asset Files on behalf of Administrative Agent in accordance with the Bailee Letter or Custodial Agreement until such time as bailee delivers the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian and shall cause the applicable Release Letter to be delivered to the Custodian (or Bailee, as applicable). Subject to Article 7(c), in connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Asset, on or prior to each Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Administrative Agent a copy or original of each document as specified in the Purchased Asset File, pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by Administrative Agent, in Administrative Agent’s sole but good faith discretion.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, Custodian shall hold such other documents on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall request from time to time. With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a true copy thereof. Seller shall deliver such original documents to Custodian promptly when they are received. With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus Power of Attorney to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV attached hereto, irrevocably appointing Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, its attorney-in-fact with full power to (i) complete and record any Assignment of Mortgage, (ii) complete the endorsement of any Mortgage Note,

Mezzanine Note, limited liability company membership certificate or Participation Certificate (as applicable) and (iii) take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, rights against any Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or cause the Purchased Asset Files to be deposited directly, with Custodian to be held by Custodian on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with Custodial Agreement. Any Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) is and shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee. The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 transfer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of the related Purchased Asset to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Seller or its designee (including Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with written instructions from Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers,, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller or is pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Administrative Agent hereby grants to Seller a revocable option to vote, take corporate actions and exercise any rights in connection with the Purchased Assets, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and subject to the provisions of the Purchased Asset Documents, upon notice from Administrative Agent to Seller, the revocable option discussed above shall automatically terminate and thereafter, for so long as such Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets without regard to Seller’s instructions (including, but not limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Seller, to the extent Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any servicer, Administrative Agent may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity satisfactory to Administrative Agent).

(e) Notwithstanding the rights granted to Seller pursuant to clause (d) above, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any security trustee, Primary Servicer or any other servicer of any Purchased Asset to consent to any Significant Modification relating to the Purchased Assets without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall be in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 8.

Subject to the provisions of Article 17 and Article 21(g), nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Administrative Agent from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets, in each case, with Eligible Assignees, as long as no such action shall cause the tax owner of the Purchased Assets not to be Seller (or the Guarantor, as the case may be), and provided that no such

transaction shall relieve Administrative Agent of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of the obligation of Administrative Agent to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or of the obligation of Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 17 hereof.

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

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

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

(iv) Non Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, nor consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Transaction Documents (or any of them) will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the organizational documents of Seller, (B) any contractual obligation to which Seller is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to Seller or the obligations under which have been assumed by Seller or to which the assets of Seller is subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Seller, or (D) any applicable Requirement of Law to the extent that such conflict or breach would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(v) Litigation; Requirements of Law. As of the date hereof and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction hereunder, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller after due inquiry, threatened against Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor or any of their respective assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller after due inquiry, threatened against Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor that is reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect. Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law. Neither Seller, Pledgor nor Guarantor is in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

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

(vii) Good Title to Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Article 8 102(a)(1) of the UCC), and Seller is the record and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent shall be the equitable owner of such Purchased Assets free of any adverse claim. In the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a valid security interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets.

(viii) No Material Adverse Effect; No Defaults. There are no post-Transaction facts or circumstances that have a Material Adverse Effect on any Purchased Asset that Seller has not notified Administrative Agent of in writing. No Event of Default or to Seller’s Knowledge, Default has occurred or exists under or with respect to the Transaction Documents.

(ix) Authorized Representatives. The duly authorized representatives of Seller are listed on, and true signatures of such authorized representatives are set forth on, Exhibit II attached to this Agreement.

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

(A) As of the date hereof, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Asset to any other Person, and immediately prior to the sale of such Purchased Asset to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Seller was the sole owner of such Purchased Asset and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder.

(B) The provisions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation are effective to either constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (other than for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income and franchise Tax purposes as more fully described in Article 21(g)), or to create in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items.

(C) Each of the representations and warranties made in respect of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Exhibit V are true, complete and correct, except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report.

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

(E) Upon execution and delivery of the Depository Agreement, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall either be the owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in, the Depository Account and all amounts at any time on deposit therein.

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

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

(xiii) Organizational Documents. Seller has delivered to Administrative Agent certified copies of its organization documents, together with all amendments thereto, if any.

(xiv) Intentionally Omitted.

(xv) Federal Regulations. Seller is not (A) required to register as an “investment company,” or a company “controlled by an investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), or (B) a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

(xvi) Taxes. Seller has timely filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by them and have paid all Taxes, which have become due, except for Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller and each Affiliate of Seller have satisfied all of their withholding tax obligations. To Seller’s Knowledge after due inquiry, no tax Liens have been filed against any assets of Seller and no claims are currently being asserted in writing against Seller with respect to Taxes (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or liens or claims with respect to Taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP).

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

(xviii) Solvency. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereof and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Seller in the last ten (10) years, and Seller has not in the last ten (10) years made an assignment on behalf of creditors or taken advantage of any debtors relief laws. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(xix) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by Seller for purposes permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part of the proceeds of any Transaction 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.

(xx) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under or context in which they were made.

(xxi) Financial Information. All financial data concerning Seller and the Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Administrative Agent is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly in accordance with GAAP. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased Assets, or in the results of operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller.

(xxii) Intentionally Omitted.

(xxiii) Servicing Agreements. Seller has delivered to Administrative Agent copies of all Servicing Agreements pertaining to the Purchased Assets and to the Knowledge of Seller, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets subject to a Servicing Agreement, each such Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and no event of default exists thereunder.

(xxiv) 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 Administrative Agent or any Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

(xxv) Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Corruption and Economic Sanctions.

(a) Seller is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (A) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other applicable enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, (B) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act of 2001), and (C) the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the UK Bribery Act of 2010 and any other applicable anti-bribery laws and regulations.

(b) Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the prior written request of Administrative Agent, it shall execute and deliver such further documents, provide such additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to insure compliance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with the USA Patriot Act of 2001) and to fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 9(b)(xxv) shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to conduct any inquiry or decreasing Seller’s responsibility for its statements, representations, warranties or covenants hereunder. In order to enable Administrative Agent and its Affiliates to comply with any anti-money laundering program and related responsibilities including, but not limited to, any obligations under the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and regulations thereunder, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates makes the following representations and covenants to Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, that neither Seller, nor, any of its Affiliates, is a Prohibited Investor and Seller is not acting on behalf of or on behalf of any Prohibited Investor.

(xxix) Office of Foreign Assets Control. Seller warrants, represents and covenants that neither Seller, any of its Affiliates or the Assets are or will be an entity or Person that is or is owned or controlled by a Person that is the subject of any sanctions administered or enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union or His Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”). Seller covenants and agrees that, with respect to the Transactions under this Agreement, none of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any of its Affiliates will conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction, Assets or dealings, with any Person who is the subject of Sanctions. Seller further covenants and agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the facility, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person to fund or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is the subject of Sanctions.

provided that all references to “Seller” in this Article 12(a) shall be to each Seller entity individually and not to the Sellers collectively.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, neither Administrative Agent nor any Buyer shall have any obligation to enter into any further Transactions hereunder and, Seller hereby appoints Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Seller, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Administrative Agent:

(i) At the option of Administrative Agent, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller or Guarantor), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder (regardless of whether the Event of Default arose out of or in connection with a Transaction to which the relevant Seller is a party) shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

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

(A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets (including its repurchase obligations in respect of Purchased Assets under Transactions to which it is not a party but for which it is jointly liable) shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date without presentment or demand of any kind, which are hereby expressly waived;

(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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 12(b)(iii) of this Agreement);

(C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (with simultaneous copy of such request to Seller), deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and

(D) this Agreement shall automatically terminate, except with respect to those provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets, and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 12(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with Seller’s default; (w) second, to the Repurchase Prices of the Purchased Assets; (x) third, to any Breakage Costs; and (y) fourth, to return any excess to Sellers.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Administrative Agent may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.

(v) Each Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent, Buyers and their respective Affiliates and shall indemnify Administrative Agent, Buyers and their respective Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel, actually incurred by Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to any Seller.

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

(vii) Administrative Agent and Buyers may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Administrative Agent and Buyers immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any Seller 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 Administrative Agent may have.

(viii) Administrative Agent and Buyers may enforce all rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Sellers might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of non-judicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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.

ARTICLE 13.

SINGLE AGREEMENT

Each of Administrative Agent, Buyers 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 (regardless of whether Seller is party to a particular Transaction). Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, Buyers 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 (including Transactions to which the other Sellers are party), (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 (including obligations owing to them by Seller that arise from their joint liability) in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 14.

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

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

ARTICLE 15.

A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (v) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (w) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (x) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first

attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 15, or (z) in the case of e-mail, upon confirmation of delivery. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 15 may elect to waive in writing any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 16.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

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

ARTICLE 17.

NON ASSIGNABILITY

(a) Subject to Article 17(d) below, Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be null and void, ab initio.

(b) Any Buyer may at any time, without the consent of Seller or Guarantor, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Prohibited Transferee (a “Participant”) in up to seventy-five percent (75%) (in the aggregate, in one or more transactions, including any assignments under Article 17(c)) of such Buyer’s rights and/or obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Co-Buyer Agreement, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in Article 28 hereof, (i) Administrative Agent’s and such Buyer’s obligations and Seller’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Administrative Agent and such Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of their respective obligations, and (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(c) Any Buyer may at any time, without the consent of Seller or Guarantor but upon notice to Seller, sell and assign to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Prohibited Transferee (an “Assignee”) up to seventy-five percent (75%) (in the aggregate, in one or more transactions, and including any participation under Article 17(b)) of the rights and obligations of such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. From and after the effective date of such assignment, such Assignee shall be a party and, to the extent provided in such assignment agreement, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Transaction Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Co-Buyer Agreement, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in Article 28 hereof, (i) Administrative Agent’s obligations and Seller’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Administrative Agent shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of Administrative Agent’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent in connection with Administrative Agent’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, and (iv) Administrative Agent will give written notice thereof at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date to each party (but Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice, provided that Administrative

Agent provides such notice promptly and in any event prior to the next Remittance Date). Any sale or assignment by any such Buyer of its rights or obligations under the Transaction Documents that does not comply with this Article 17(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Transaction Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Article 17(b). Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an assignment and acceptance agreement and Administrative Agent shall promptly (1) notify the Registrar of such assignment, (2) deliver a copy of the assignment and acceptance to the Registrar and (3) provide the Registrar with any information reasonably required to maintain the Register.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain, at its offices at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York (in hard copy or electronic form), a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement of any Assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, Administrative Agent, each Buyer and the Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, Administrative Agent and any Assignee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) If a Buyer sells a participation, such Buyer shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement of each Participant (the “Participant Register”). No Buyer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement are 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 such Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Buyer from pledging any of its Purchased Assets hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Buyer from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, no such pledge shall release a Buyer from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Buyer as a party hereto.

ARTICLE 18.

GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

ARTICLE 19.

NO WAIVERS, ETC.

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

ARTICLE 20.

USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

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

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

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

ARTICLE 21.

INTENT

(a) The parties intend and recognize that each Transaction is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). The Parties intend (i) for each Transaction to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Article 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) that Buyer (for so long as each party is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Sections 546, 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” and a “master netting contract” including (x) the rights, set forth in Article 12 and in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Article 12 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(o) and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 12 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

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

(e) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction 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).

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

(g) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes (a) to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller (or, so long as Seller is classified as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner) that is secured by the Purchased Assets that does not give rise to or result in treatment of Seller or any Transaction as a taxable mortgage pool (as defined in Section 7701(i) of the Code) and (b) that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller (or, so long as Seller is classified as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner) in the absence of a continuing Event of Default by Seller and completion of foreclosure remedies by Buyers. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment for all Tax purposes (including, without limitation, on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or by a change in applicable law after the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 22.

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

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

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

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder 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; and

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

(c) THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT EACH MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO THEM AT THEIR RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS ARTICLE 23 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF BUYER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF BUYER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

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

ARTICLE 24.

ARTICLE 25.

INDEMNITY

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each of Administrative Agent, Buyers, and each of their respective Affiliates and each of its and their officers, directors, and employees (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on, incurred and paid by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to the Transaction Documents including this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or any Indemnified Party; provided, further that this Article 25 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and indemnify Administrative Agent and Buyers against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Administrative Agent in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent as and when billed by Administrative Agent for all Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with Administrative Agent’s due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, those incurred pursuant to Article 26 and Article 3 (including, without limitation, all Pre-Purchase Legal Expenses, even if the underlying prospective Transaction for which they were incurred does not take place for any reason (provided, that for any Purchased Asset that is not a Table Funded Purchased Asset, Seller shall not be responsible for such fees and expenses of outside counsel in an amount greater than $7,500) and the enforcement or the preservation of the rights of Administrative Agent and Buyers under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its outside counsel). Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller and this Article 25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 26.

DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and the Buyers has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Administrative Agent or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Primary Servicer and any other servicer or sub-servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent with respect to continuing due diligence on the Purchased Assets, which shall be paid by Seller to Administrative Agent within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Administrative Agent and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent, 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. Administrative Agent may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 27.

SERVICING

(a) Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (other than the Primary Servicer) shall service the Assets on behalf of Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns. The appointment of each servicer of any Purchased Asset (other than the Primary Servicer) shall be subject to the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall be in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion. Seller shall cause each such servicer (including the Primary Servicer) to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and on behalf of Administrative Agent in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided that, without prior written consent of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as required by Article 7(e), no servicer (including the Primary Servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall consent to any Significant Modification with respect to any Purchased Asset.

(b) Seller agrees that Administrative Agent is the owner of all servicing records, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing agreements (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement relating to the servicing of any or all of the Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, valuations, 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 safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Administrative Agent or its designee at Administrative Agent’s request.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and/or (ii) terminate Seller (as the servicer), Primary Servicer or any other servicer or sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee.

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

(e) Intentionally Omitted.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing, other than Seller’s rights under the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement related to the Purchased Assets. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Administrative Agent on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by the Servicer.

(g) Seller shall cause each servicer of a Purchased Asset to provide to Administrative Agent via electronic transmission, promptly upon request by Administrative Agent a Servicing Tape for the quarter (or any portion thereof) prior to the date of Administrative Agent’s request.

ARTICLE 28.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

(a) Agent for Buyers.

(i) Each of Seller and each Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent has been appointed the administrative agent for the Transactions, and each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to act as agent for and in the best interest of the Buyers and to take such actions as the Buyers are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. This Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture between Administrative Agent and any Buyer. In performing its functions and duties under the Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Buyers and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Seller.

(ii) The agency created pursuant hereto shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any additional duties or obligations upon, any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Buyer. With respect to its interest in the Transactions, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as a Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it, as Administrative Agent, hereunder. The term “Buyers” or “Buyer” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Buyer and not as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Seller or any of its Affiliates (in each case not related to the Transactions) as if it were not performing its duties as Administrative Agent or Buyer (as applicable) specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Seller or its Affiliates for services in connection therewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Administrative Agent or the other Buyers, as applicable.

(iii) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Article 28, each Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Buyer (i) to enter into Transaction Documents and any amendments or modifications thereof, (ii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and Transaction Documents to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve the Buyers’ Liens therein, and (iii) to execute instruments of release and terminations or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Purchased Asset. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Article 28(a)(iii) to Administrative Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Transaction Documents remain in effect.

(iv) Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Co-Buyer Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive representative of the Buyers on all matters relating to the Transactions, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and, subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the Co-Buyer Agreement, each Buyer shall be bound by the acts of Administrative Agent with respect to the Transactions.

(b) Replacement of Administrative Agent.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 28, unless and to the extent prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, MSMCH (or one of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, MSBNA) shall at all times remain Administrative Agent hereunder, provided that in connection with an assignment by MSMCH (and each of its Affiliates that holds an interest as Buyer hereunder) of one hundred percent (100%) of its rights and obligations as Buyer hereunder which assignment shall only be permitted by MSMCH (and its Affiliates) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, MSMCH (and/or its Affiliates) shall have the right to assign its role as Administrative Agent to the Assignee or an Affiliate of such Assignee. Buyers and Seller hereby agree that MSMCH may assign its role as Administrative Agent hereunder to MSBNA or any Affiliate of MSMCH or MSBNA upon notice to Buyers and Seller but without the requirement for obtaining any prior written consent of any Buyers or Seller.

(ii) [Intentionally omitted].

(iii) If Administrative Agent (A) is grossly negligent or commits intentional misconduct with respect to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (B) is a Defaulting Buyer, or (C) its Affiliates, as applicable, no longer hold any ownership interest in the Facility, the Majority Buyers may remove Administrative Agent from its role as administrative agent for Buyers, without affecting Administrative Agent’s rights or obligations as a Buyer, and appoint a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with Article 28(b)(iv) hereof.

(iv) Upon the removal or resignation of the initial Administrative Agent or any successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, the Majority Buyers shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, however, (x) if the Administrative Agent is removed pursuant to Article 28(b)(ii) hereof, the Majority Buyers shall appoint any such successor Administrative Agent and (y) if the Administrative Agent is removed pursuant to Article 28(b)(iii) hereof, the Majority Buyers shall appoint any such successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent appointed by the Majority Buyers shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of resignation or removal, then the departing Administrative Agent may, after consultation with the other Buyers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Only upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and upon the recordation of a written designation and acceptance, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents other than its liability, if any, for duties and obligations accrued prior to its retirement or removal. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an administrative agent, the provisions of this Article 28(b) and of Article 17 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an administrative agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The new Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to the Buyers a copy of the resignation and acceptance. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the effective date of a retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless be effective and the Buyer holding the greatest Ratable Share at such time shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Buyers appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above; provided, however, that if there is more than one Buyer holding an equal Ratable Share at such time and such Ratable Share is greater than each other Buyers’ Ratable Share, then the Majority Buyers shall determine which of such Buyers holding equal Ratable Shares shall become the Administrative Agent at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (or in any Co-Buyer Agreement), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the prior written approval of Seller, in its sole discretion, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(v) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent with Seller’s prior written approval, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.

(i) Administrative Agent shall have the sole power and authority, for and on behalf of each Buyer to (A) enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and any amendments or modifications hereof or thereof and to grant any waiver, consent or approval hereunder or thereunder and (B) exercise all rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Buyers under, and take any and all actions with respect to, the Transactions and Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the right to (w) control decision-making with respect to the Purchased Assets, (x) determine whether to purchase any Eligible Asset in a Transaction hereunder and the terms of such Transaction, (y) determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets and whether a Margin Credit Event has occurred with respect to any Purchased Asset and (z) amend or modify the terms of any Transaction, or grant any waiver, consent or approval under or with respect to any Transaction, and no Buyer or Participant shall have any consent or approval rights with respect to any matter under the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) or otherwise hereunder or under any other Transaction Document except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Article 28. In no event shall any of the foregoing relieve Administrative Agent from complying with the terms and provisions of Article 28(d), and Administrative Agent hereby agrees to perform its duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the Standard of Care, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to deem Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall not take any of the following actions (solely insofar as such actions affect the Facility; any such decision with respect to any action affecting the Facility being herein referred to as a “Unanimous Buyer Decision”) without the prior consent of all Buyers in accordance with the procedure set forth below:

(A) amending or modifying any of the Transaction Documents with respect to a matter that, if otherwise acted on, would constitute a Unanimous Buyer Decision, or a Majority Buyer Decision or a matter requiring the consent of the Majority Buyers, or amending or modifying the definitions of Unanimous Buyer Decision, Majority Buyer Decision, or Majority Buyers in this Agreement;

(B) other than pursuant to Article 8, making or consenting to any sale (whether voluntary or in lieu of foreclosure), pledge, assignment, release, or subordination of any Purchased Asset or any other Purchased Item;

(C) consenting to any proposed sale, pledge, participation or other transfer of any interest of Seller or Guarantor in the Facility or any Transaction to any Person;

(D) changing the Remittance Date or any other date fixed for the payment of the Repurchase Price for any Purchased Asset or Price Differential under the Transaction Documents;

(E) subordinating the Facility or any Transaction to any other indebtedness;

(F) modifying the order and priority of distribution of Income and Principal Proceeds or any other amounts received in respect of any Purchased Asset set forth in Article 5;

(G) releasing any obligations of Guarantor pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity (except pursuant to the most favored nation provision set forth in Section 9 of the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity);

(H) rehypothecating any Purchased Assets pursuant to Article 8(a);

(I) amending or modifying the terms and provisions of any Co-Buyer Agreement;

(J) permitting any Currency other than United States Dollars;

(K) approving any additional Seller;

(L) purchasing any Mezzanine Loan if, after giving effect to the related Transaction, the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices of Purchased Assets consisting of Mezzanine Loans shall be greater than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Maximum Facility Amount;

(M) determining that any Asset is an Eligible Asset (x) solely pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Eligible Asset set forth in Article 2 or (y) that does not otherwise satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assets” in Article 2 in any material respect;

(N) agreeing to an Advance Rate with respect to any Purchased Asset that would result in (x) a Maximum Asset Exposure Threshold Breach, (y) a Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold Breach or (z) an Advance Rate in excess of the Maximum Advance Rate applicable to such Purchased Asset; and

(O) changing or extending the Facility Termination Date.

Solely with respect to a Unanimous Buyer Decision pursuant to Article 28(c)(i)(O), if any Buyer (other than MSBNA or any of its Affiliates) declines to consent to any such amendment, waiver or consent that shall have been requested in a writing by Seller to Administrative Agent (any such Buyer being herein referred to as a “Non-Consenting Buyer”), and such amendment, waiver or consent is not approved (e.g., the Administrative Agent and all other Buyers have consented to such amendment, waiver or consent and such consent is insufficient in accordance with this Agreement to approve such amendment, waiver or consent), then, provided no Event of Default then exists, Seller, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and such Non-Consenting Buyer (the “Consent Request Date”) may, at its sole expense and effort require such Non-Consenting Buyer to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an Eligible Assignee or such other assignee identified by Seller that is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) as of such Consent Request Date and as of the date that such Non-Consenting Buyer is replaced in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such assignee Buyer agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Buyer and such Non-Consenting Buyer shall have received from the assignee Buyer or Seller payment of an amount equal to the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets attributable to such Non-Consenting Buyer’s interest in the Transactions hereunder as of the date such Non-Consenting Buyer is replaced, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other amounts accrued and payable to the Non-Consenting Buyer as of the date of such transfer, (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (iv) such assignee Buyer consents to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent on account of which Seller shall have exercised its rights pursuant to this paragraph. Such assignee Buyer shall thereafter be a “Buyer” for all purposes hereunder.

(ii) Intentionally omitted.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall not take any of the following actions (solely insofar as such actions affect the Facility; any such decision with respect to any action affecting the Facility being herein referred to as a “Majority Buyer Decision”) without the prior consent of the Majority Buyers in accordance with the procedure set forth below:

(J) amending or modifying the terms and provisions of the Fee Letter.

(A) increasing the applicable Buyer’s Ratable Share other than in accordance with any applicable Co-Buyer Agreement; and

(B) increasing the Maximum Facility Amount.

(d) Administrative Agent Standard of Care. Administrative Agent shall administer and service its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall make such decisions and take such actions as it shall in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection therewith, in each case consistent with the Standard of Care.

(e) Return of Certain Payments.

(i) Each Buyer (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Buyer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Buyer (any of the foregoing, a “Erroneous Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Erroneous Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment, Income, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 28(e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limitation of clause (i) above, each Erroneous Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Erroneous Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Erroneous Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Erroneous Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(iii) Any Payment required to be returned by an Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 28(e) shall be made in immediately available funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Erroneous Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and,

to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(iv) Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor hereby agrees that (x) in the event any Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Buyer that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Buyer with respect to such amount and (y) the receipt by any Erroneous Payment Recipient of a Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Repurchase Obligations owed to such Buyer by Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor.

(f) Defaulting Buyers. If and to the extent that any Buyer becomes a Defaulting Buyer, then:

(i) To the extent a Buyer has become a Defaulting Buyer due to its failure to fund a Required Advance or a Buyer Payment, then the other Buyers, or any of them, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance all or any part of its Pro Rata Share of any such Deficiency that should have been made by the Defaulting Buyer, and the Defaulting Buyer agrees to repay upon demand to each of the Buyers who has advanced a portion of the Deficiency the amount advanced on behalf of the Defaulting Buyer, together with interest thereon at the federal funds rate. To the extent that the Defaulting Buyer thereafter funds such Deficiency with interest thereon, if applicable, such Buyer shall no longer be a Defaulting Buyer;

(ii) If more than one Buyer elects to advance a portion of a Deficiency, such Buyers’ advances shall be made based on the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Facility of each such advancing Buyer or as otherwise agreed to by such Buyers. In the event the Defaulting Buyer fails to advance or repay the Deficiency, the interest of such Defaulting Buyer in the Facility to the extent of the Deficiency, shall be subordinate to the interests of the other Buyers, and all payments otherwise payable to the Defaulting Buyer in accordance with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be distributed by the Agent to the non-Defaulting Buyers, pro rata, to advance or repay the Deficiency, as applicable, until such time such Defaulting Buyer advances or repays all Deficiencies attributable to each such non-Defaulting Buyer. The provisions of this clause (ii) shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and notwithstanding (x) any contrary provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (y) any instruction of the Seller as to its desired application of payments;

(iii) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Buyer under this Article 28(f) are in addition to any other rights and remedies, at law, in equity or otherwise that Administrative Agent or any Buyer may have against such Defaulting Buyer with respect to any Deficiency or otherwise.

(iv) The failure of any Buyer to pay any Deficiency shall not relieve any other Buyer of its obligation, if any, hereunder or pursuant to any Transaction Document to make its Pro Rata Share of a Required Advance or Buyer Payment, in each case available on the applicable funding date, but no Buyer shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Buyer to make its Pro Rata Share of the Required Advance or Buyer Payment on the applicable funding date; provided, however, that each Buyer shall be obligated to fund its Pro Rata Share of the balance of the then current Required Advance or Buyer Payment (i.e., excluding the Deficiency), as the case may be, in the manner required hereunder or pursuant to any Transaction Document.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for as long as a Buyer is a Defaulting Buyer, such Buyer shall have no right to consent to, approve or vote on any action or decision with respect to the Facility hereunder requiring the consent, approval or vote of any Buyer, and for purposes of determining how many or which Buyers constitute the Majority Buyers, for purposes of consenting to, approving or voting with respect to any decision or any action (or waiver or forbearance from taking an action) by Administrative Agent, the portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Facility allocated to any Defaulting Buyer shall be disregarded for such determination. If a Defaulting Buyer cures the applicable default such that it is no longer a Defaulting Buyer, its consent, approval or voting rights hereunder shall be reinstated as and from the date of its cure of such default.

(vi) If any Buyer is a Defaulting Buyer, then, provided no Event of Default then exists, Seller, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and such Defaulting Buyer may, at its sole expense and effort, either (x) require such Defaulting Buyer to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to an Eligible Assignee that is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (as directed by the Majority Buyers in their reasonable discretion) that shall assume such obligations or (y) repurchase such Buyer’s interest in each of the Purchased Assets in accordance with Article 3(e) (and in such event no Exit Fee shall be payable by Seller); provided that (A) as of the date that such Defaulting Buyer is replaced in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) such assignee Buyer agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Defaulting Buyer and such Defaulting Buyer shall have received from the assignee Buyer or Seller payment of an amount equal to the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets attributable to such Defaulting Buyer’s interest in the Transactions hereunder as of the date such Defaulting Buyer is replaced, together with accrued and unpaid Price Differential thereon, and any other amounts accrued and payable to the Defaulting Buyer as of the date of such transfer, (C) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (D) such assignee Buyer consents to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent on account of which Seller shall have exercised its rights pursuant to this clause (vi).

ARTICLE 29.

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Administrative Agent and Buyers 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 Administrative Agent and Buyers 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, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(b) This Agreement and any other Transaction Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any other Transaction Document may be delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, or by other electronic transmission, in portable document format (.pdf) or otherwise, and each such executed facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic record shall be considered an original executed counterpart for purposes of this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement and any Transaction Document (a) agrees that it will be bound by its own Electronic Signature (as such term is defined immediately below), (b) accepts the Electronic Signature of each other party to this Agreement or such Transaction Document, and (c) agrees that such Electronic Signatures shall be the legal equivalent of manual signatures. The term “Electronic Signature” means (i) the signing party’s manual signature on a signature page, converted by the signing party (or its agent) to facsimile or digital form (such as a .pdf file) and received from the customary email address or customary

facsimile number of the signing party (or its counsel or representative), or other mutually agreed-upon authenticated source; or (ii) the signing party’s digital signature executed using a mutually agreed-upon digital signature service provider and digital signature process. The words “execution,” “executed”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other state law.

(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) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Buyers under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay on demand Administrative Agent’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, consummation and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or Transaction is ultimately consummated. Seller agrees to pay Administrative Agent and any Buyer on demand all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Administrative Agent and such Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or Purchased Items and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral or Purchased Items (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Administrative Agent on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Depository Account and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, registering the Collateral and Purchased Items in the name of Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers under this Agreement.

(e) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, Seller, Guarantor and the Subsidiaries of Guarantor that directly or indirectly own Seller hereby grant to Administrative Agent and each Buyer and their respective Affiliates, a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Administrative Agent or such Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor under the Transaction Documents, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Administrative Agent, wherever located), on behalf of Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) of Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor at any time existing. Administrative Agent and Buyers and their respective 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, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to, against any amounts owing to

Administrative Agent or such Buyer or their respective Affiliates by Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether Administrative Agent, such Buyer or their respective Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Administrative Agent, Buyers and their respective Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Administrative Agent, Buyers and their Affiliates by Seller, any entity that directly or indirectly owns Seller, or Guarantor under the Transaction Documents, and Administrative Agent, Buyers and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BUYERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BUYERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES BY SELLER, ANY ENTITY THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS SELLER, OR GUARANTOR UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, ANY ENTITY THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS SELLER, OR GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER, ANY ENTITY THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OWNS SELLER, OR GUARANTOR.

(f) Seller and Guarantor agree that neither shall assert any claims against Administrative Agent for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages for the actual use or purported use of proceeds hereunder.

(g) 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.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) Wherever pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, Administrative Agent 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 discretion and such decision by Administrative Agent shall be final and conclusive (except to the extent this Agreement expressly provides that Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

ARTICLE 30.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Seller or Buyer to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of Buyer or Seller, as applicable, or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to Seller’s, Pledgor’s and Guarantor’s direct or indirect investors, (c) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or required by Requirements of Law (including SEC rules, regulations and guidelines), (d) to the extent required by GAAP to be included in the financial statements of either Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates, (e) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under or with respect to the Transaction Documents, Purchased Assets, Purchased Asset Documents or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, (f) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (g) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between the Buyer and Seller in connection with any Transaction Document, (h) to any actual or prospective Participant, assignee, pledgee or transferee which agrees to comply with this Article 31; and (i) if such information (i) was known to Buyer or any of its representatives prior to its disclosure to Buyer or such representative by Seller or a representative of Seller, provided that such information is not known by Buyer or such representative to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller or another party, (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure in breach of this Agreement by Buyer or its representatives, (iii) is or becomes available to Buyer or any of its representatives from a source other than Seller or its advisors who is not known by Buyer or such representative to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other obligation of secrecy to, Seller or another party with respect to such information or (iv) information that is independently developed, discovered or arrived at by Buyer or any of its representatives; provided, that no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent a summary would suffice, and any such disclosure shall redact all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein to the extent such disclosure can reasonably be satisfied by a redacted copy of such Transaction Documents.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET THAT IS A

SENIOR MORTGAGE LOAN SECURED BY PROPERTY IN THE UNITED STATES (OTHER THAN A PARTICIPATION INTEREST)

With respect to each Purchased Asset and the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, on the related Purchase Date and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction contemplated hereunder is in effect, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as of such date; provided, however, that, with respect to any Purchased Asset, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any Exception Report delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto.

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Except with respect to each Participation Interest, each Purchased Asset is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. Each Participation Interest is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Participation Certificate was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation (other than with respect to Participation Interests) 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 (other than with respect to Participation Interests), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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.

Purchased Asset 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 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 loan 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 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 Purchased Asset, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents.

111

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

Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Asset 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.

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty, participation agreement, if applicable, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (b) no related Underlying 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, value or operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Purchased Asset Documents. With respect to each Purchased Asset, except as contained in a written document included in the Purchased Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Asset consented to by Seller.

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes 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 Purchased Asset Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Asset or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Underlying Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) is free and clear of any mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens and other encumbrances, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (10) 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 Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

112

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset is covered by the most recently issued 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 instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Asset (or with respect to a Purchased Asset secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property which the Purchased Asset Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized with any other Purchased Asset, the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Asset contained in the same group of cross collateralized Mortgage Loans, provides that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the current ability of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Purchased Asset 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 Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgage Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased Asset are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Underlying Mortgaged Property. Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

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). 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; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Asset Documents, a receiver will 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.

113

10.

Financing Statements. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Asset establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC 1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) necessary to operate any Underlying Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC 1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property and each UCC 2 or UCC 3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

11.

Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be inspected each related Underlying Mortgaged Property within four months of origination of the Purchased Asset and within twelve months of the Purchase Date.

An engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Asset no more than twelve months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related Underlying Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Underlying Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Underlying Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Underlying Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

12.

Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset that is or could become a lien on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the date hereof with respect to each related Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be considered due and payable until the earlier of (a) date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

114

13.

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

14.

Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (g) the current ability of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Purchased Asset, or (h) the current principal use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

15.

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents are held in an escrow account (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its 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 under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Asset Documents as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

16.

No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Purchased Asset stated on the Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Asset 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund.

17.

Insurance. Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage 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 loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” (for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Asset and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement

115

cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment included in the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property.

Each related Underlying 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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Underlying 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, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset, (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on such Underlying Mortgaged Property, and (iii) 100% of the probable maximum loss for such Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of a windstorm, as determined by an architectural or engineering consultant.

The Underlying 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 broad-form 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 Underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL 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 would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 150% of the SEL.

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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related Purchased Asset, 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 Purchased Asset together with any accrued interest thereon.

116

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the date hereof have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset Documents 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 the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Purchased Asset 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 related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 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.

18.

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Underlying Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

19.

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 Purchased Asset, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset are within the boundaries of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, after taking into account any applicable provisions of the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Underlying Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property after taking into account any applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

20.

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset 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.

117

21.

[Reserved].

22.

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

23.

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 Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers.

24.

Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Asset, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

25.

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, the improvements located on or forming part of each Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, restrictions, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation, net operating income or value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Underlying Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Underlying Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property.

26.

Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for the operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities 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, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Underlying Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

118

27.

Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset (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 Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) misappropriation of rents, security deposits (or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to an event of default under the Purchased Asset Documents), insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

28.

Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Underlying 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 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset, (c) upon a Defeasance defined in (33) below, (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Underlying Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Asset and are not necessary for physical access to the Underlying Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. 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 Purchased Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Asset 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).

29.

Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires 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 annual 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 (i) with respect to each Purchased Asset

119

with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Underlying Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each Purchased Asset with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage.

30.

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset with a 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 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 Purchased Asset, the related special 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 Purchased Asset, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Purchased 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 Purchased Asset, 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 Purchased Asset 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 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.

31.

120

mezzanine debt as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Asset, as set forth on any Exception Report 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.

32.

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Asset with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date 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 Purchased Asset has a principal balance as of the Purchase Date 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 Underlying Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Asset and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Underlying Mortgaged Property or Underlying Mortgaged 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property or Underlying Mortgaged 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 Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with a related Purchased Asset), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

33.

Defeasance. With respect to any fixed-rate Purchased Asset, if any, that pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Asset Documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Asset Documents; (ii) the Purchased Asset cannot be defeased within two years after the closing date of a securitization of such Purchased Asset; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Purchased Asset Documents when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Purchased Asset is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date, and if the Purchased Asset Documents permit partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in (iii) above, (vi)

121

if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Purchased Asset secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

34.

Floating Interest Rates. Each Purchased Asset bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on Term SOFR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate).

35.

Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean 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 (or, with respect to air rights leases, the air) and buildings and other improvements, if any, 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.

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

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 Underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the ground lease had occurred since the origination of the Purchased Asset, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Purchased Asset File;

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, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

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 borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Purchased Asset, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Purchased Asset fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Purchased Asset that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

The ground lease is not subject to any interests, estates, 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;

122

The ground lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the mortgagee and the ground lease is assignable (including pursuant to foreclosure) to the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

Seller has not received any written notice of 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. Such ground lease is in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date;

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, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

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;

The ground lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender;

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 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 Underlying 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 Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest;

Under the terms of the ground lease 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest; and

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.

36.

Servicing. The servicing and collection of each Purchased Asset complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.

123

37.

Origination and Underwriting. The origination of each Purchased Asset complied with all applicable laws and regulations. At the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with each Purchased Asset complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization.

38.

Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. Seller has obtained operating histories (the “Certified Operating Histories”) with respect to each Underlying Mortgaged Property certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. The Certified Operating Histories collectively report on operations for a period equal to (a) at least a continuous three-year period or (b) in the event the Underlying Mortgaged Property was owned, operated or constructed by the Mortgagor or an affiliate for less than three years then for such shorter period of time.

39.

No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and, no Purchased Asset is in default in making required payments as of the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset, 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 Purchased Asset or the value, use or operation of the related Underlying 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 any Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset Documents or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

40.

Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, neither the Underlying 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.

41.

Organization of Mortgagor. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) (the “Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 10% or greater direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Seller (1) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records by a search provider reasonably approved by Administrative Agent to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, each Major Sponsor that is an international entity, each Major Sponsor that is a U.S. entity that holds a 20% or greater direct

124

ownership share, and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that manual public records searches were limited to the last 10 years. ((1) and (2) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of Seller, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, 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. No Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of another Mortgagor.

42.

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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Underlying Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws, 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) 125% of the funds 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 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 date hereof, and a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed”); (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 Seller has reasonably estimated that the responsible party has financial resources adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having

125

financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Purchased Asset File; and to Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (1) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Underlying Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) need for further investigation.

In the case of each Purchased Asset that is the subject of a pollution legal liability policy issued by a carrier having a claims-paying or financial strength rating as specified in paragraph 17 above, naming Seller and its successors and/or assigns as an additional named insured or Seller and its successors and/or its assigns are named as an additional insured and there is a “mortgagee” endorsement by which the mortgagee automatically becomes the named insured in the event of a foreclosure (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”). For each such Purchased Asset, 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 with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset 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 (B) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset 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, any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) was disclosed to the insurer in one or more of the following: (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the insurer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the insurer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been pre-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 Purchased Asset.

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

43.

Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Purchased Asset, and to Seller’s knowledge, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-

126

through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Purchased Asset that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Underlying Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Purchased Asset that is represented on the Certified Rent Roll. To Seller’s knowledge, (x) each lease represented on the Certified Rent Roll is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Underlying Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

44.

Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Purchased Asset origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and that (i) was engaged directly by the originator of the Purchased Asset or Seller, or a correspondent or agent of the originator of the Purchased Asset or Seller, and (ii) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Asset. 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 and in compliance with the requirements of Title 11 of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989.

46.

Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan.

47.

Advance of Funds by Seller. No advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Purchased Asset. Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Asset, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

48.

49.

ARD Loans. (a) Each Purchased Asset identified on the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan starts to amortize no later than the first payment date of the calendar month immediately after the calendar month in which such ARD Loan closed and substantially fully amortizes over its stated term, which term is at least 60 months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Purchased Asset. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Purchased Asset Documents

127

or a unilateral option (as defined in Section 1001 of the Treasury Regulations) in the Purchased Asset Documents exercisable during the term of the Purchased Asset, (i) the Purchased Asset’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined below) (which is net of certain costs associated with owning, managing and operating the related Underlying Mortgaged Property) collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all Excess Cash Flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related Purchased Asset’s interest rate on such Purchased Asset’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

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

50.

OFAC.

Senior Participations. With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Participation Interest: (i) either (a) the Participation Interest is treated as a real estate asset for purposes of Section 856(c) of the Code, and the interest payable pursuant to such Participation Interest is treated as interest on an obligation secured by a mortgage on real property or on an interest in real property for purposes of Section 856(c) of the Code, or (b) the Participation Interest qualifies as a security that would not otherwise cause any parent real estate investment trust (“REIT”) to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code (including after the sale, transfer and assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of such Participation Interest); (ii) to the actual knowledge of Seller, as of the Purchase Date, the related participating Person was not a debtor in any outstanding proceeding pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code; and (iii) 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.

Defined Terms

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined in Article 2 of this Agreement shall have the respective meanings given them in Article 2, and the following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Exhibit V:

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

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

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

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

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

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

A MEZZANINE LOAN SECURED BY PROPERTY IN THE UNITED STATES

With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Mezzanine Loan and the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, on the related Purchase Date and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction contemplated hereunder is in effect, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as of such date; provided, however, that, with respect to any Purchased Asset, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any Exception Report delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto.

The representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit V regarding Mortgage Loans shall be deemed incorporated herein in respect of each underlying Mortgage Loan and the related Underlying Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor related to the Purchased Asset; provided that if such representation is duplicative of any specific representation regarding the underlying Mortgage Loan, Underlying Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor, the representation hereunder shall control.

2.	The Mezzanine Loan is a performing mezzanine loan secured by a pledge of all of the Capital Stock of a Mortgagor on the performing underlying Mortgage Loan that owns income producing commercial real estate.

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, no Mezzanine Note 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 and other interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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, but subject to any related intercreditor agreement provided to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, prior to the Purchase Date.

Purchased Asset Document Status. Each related Mezzanine Note, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement, guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Asset is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mezzanine Borrower, 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 the Insolvency Qualifications, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) of the Insolvency Qualifications) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mezzanine Borrower with respect to any of the related Mezzanine Note, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement or other

135

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 Purchased Asset, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mezzanine Note, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement or other Purchased Asset Documents.

Purchased Asset Document Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Capital Stock of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset for which the underlying Mortgage Loan is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator.

Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File (a) the material terms of such Mezzanine Note, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement, guaranty, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (b) no related Capital Stock or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mezzanine Pledge Agreement in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mezzanine Pledge Agreement; and (c) neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Purchased Asset Documents. With respect to each Purchased Asset, except as contained in a written document included in the Purchased Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Asset consented to by Seller.

Lien. Any security agreement, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (10) below.

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Seller’s security interest in the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan is covered by the most recently issued mezzanine title insurance policy or a comparable form of mezzanine 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 instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Mezzanine Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Asset 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 Mezzanine Loan, the first priority lien on the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan, which lien is subject only to the liens created by the Purchased Asset Documents. Such Mezzanine 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 Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Mezzanine Title Policy.

136

10.

Financing Statements. The Mezzanine Pledge Agreement for each Purchased Asset that is a Mezzanine Loan establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC 1 financing statement has been filed (or, if not filed, has been submitted in proper form for filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by Mezzanine Borrower. Each UCC 1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property owned by such Mezzanine Borrower and each UCC 2 or UCC 3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

11.

Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination 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 Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor, or Mortgagor, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) Mezzanine Borrower’s ownership of the Capital Stock in Mortgagor, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Purchased Asset Documents, (c) such Mezzanine Borrower’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (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 ability of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Purchased Asset.

12.

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents are held in an escrow account in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its 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 under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Asset Documents as to disbursements of any funds escrowed, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

13.

14.

Insurance. 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the underlying Mortgage Loan, the mortgage 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 the underlying Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, with any excess applied to the existing outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan.

137

or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Purchased Asset obligates the underlying 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 related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 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.

15.	No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller.

16.

17.

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 Mezzanine Note, each holder of the Mezzanine Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers

18.

Compliance With Laws. The Mezzanine Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Mezzanine Loan. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require Mezzanine Borrower and the underlying Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

19.

Licenses and Permits. The Purchased Asset Documents require that the Mezzanine Borrower shall cause each underlying Mortgagor to keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for the operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities 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, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related underlying Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mezzanine Borrower, the underlying Mortgagor and the Underlying Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

20.

Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset (a) becomes full recourse to the Mezzanine Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mezzanine Borrower (but may be affiliated with the Mezzanine Borrower) that has assets other than equity in the underlying

138

Mortgagor that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mezzanine Borrower; (ii) Mezzanine Borrower or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mezzanine Borrower or (iii) transfers of equity interests in the underlying Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mezzanine Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mezzanine Borrower (but may be affiliated with the Mezzanine Borrower) that has assets other than equity in the underlying Mortgagor that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) misappropriation of rents, security deposits (or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to an event of default under the Purchased Asset Documents), insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mezzanine Borrower’s fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mezzanine Borrower or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

21.

Collateral Release. The terms of the related Mezzanine Pledge Agreement or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan from the lien of the Mezzanine Pledge Agreement except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan, or (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset.

22.

Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Asset Documents require the Mezzanine Borrower to provide the mezzanine lender with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual 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 (i) with respect to each Purchased Asset with more than one underlying Mortgagor or more than one Mezzanine Borrower are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet, as applicable of the Mezzanine Borrower entities and the underlying Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Underlying Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each Purchased Asset with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the mezzanine lender.

23.

139

lender 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 underlying Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the underlying Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable 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 underlying Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

24.

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the mezzanine lender (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld for Purchased Assets with a principal balance less than $35 million) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the mezzanine lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan, such as 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, or any controlling equity interest in the related underlying Mortgagor or Mezzanine Borrower, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest in the Mezzanine Borrower or the underlying Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the underlying 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 common stock in publicly traded companies or (vi) as set forth in any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth in any Exception Report, (b) the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Asset, as set forth on any Exception Report or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances, or (c) the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against such collateral, other than any liens granted pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents. The 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 Mezzanine Borrower is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mezzanine lender relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

25.

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the Mezzanine Borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mezzanine Borrower with respect to each Purchased Asset with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5 million provide that the Mezzanine Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-

140

consolidation of the Mezzanine Borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Asset has a principal balance as of the Purchase Date 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 the Capital Stock of the underlying Mortgagor securing the Purchased Asset and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to owning such Capital Stock, 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 the underlying Mortgagor, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mezzanine Pledge Agreement 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 Mezzanine Borrower for a Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with a related Purchased Asset), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

26.	Floating Interest Rates. Each Purchased Asset bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on Term SOFR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate).

27.

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

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, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the mezzanine lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the mezzanine lender, its successors or assigns;

141

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to that certain Servicing Agreement, dated as of [ ], 20[_] (the “Servicing Agreement”), [ ] (the “Servicer”) is servicing certain loans that may be sold by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”) on a servicing-released basis, and Seller has granted a security interest to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in the Purchased Assets.

In accordance with Seller’s requirements under the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement, Seller hereby notifies and instructs Servicer, and Servicer hereby agrees that Servicer shall, on each [Remittance Date (as defined in the Servicing Agreement)], deposit all collections of Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income (minus any amounts due to Servicer as set forth in the Servicing Agreement), to the following account:

Bank Name: [***]

ABA #: [***]

Account Name: [***]

Account Number: [***] (the “Controlled Account”).

Servicer acknowledges that the Controlled Account is held for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to the Blocked Account Control Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2024, by and among Administrative Agent, Sub-3 Seller and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Depository. Upon receipt of a notice of Event of Default from Administrative Agent, Servicer shall follow the instructions of Administrative Agent, consistent with the servicing obligations of Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, with respect to the Purchased Asset, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent any information with respect to the Purchased Asset reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

Servicer hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may terminate Servicer as the servicer with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets under any servicing agreement which exists between Servicer and Seller in respect of (but only to the extent it relates to) the Purchased Assets in accordance with the termination process set forth in such servicing agreement (but such termination shall not affect the servicing of any other assets by Servicer under such servicing agreement and such servicing agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such other assets) and in any event transfer servicing thereof to Administrative Agent’s designee, at no cost or expense to Administrative Agent, it being agreed that Seller will pay any and all fees required to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of Administrative Agent. To the extent Administrative Agent does not elect to terminate Servicer after an Event of Default, Servicer shall continue to service the Purchased Assets and the Buyers shall assume and perform (or delegate the performance to Administrative Agent) all of the duties and obligations of Seller set forth in the Servicing Agreement.

Notwithstanding any contrary information or direction which may be delivered to Servicer by Seller, Servicer may conclusively rely on any information, direction or notice, without any independent investigation or inquiry, of an Event of Default delivered by Administrative Agent, and Seller shall indemnify and hold Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against Servicer for any actions taken in good faith by Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information, direction or notice of an Event of Default.

Servicer agrees to deliver directly to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at the email address: [ ] (or such other email addresses as may hereafter be provided to Servicer by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers), the monthly remittance report and shall provide access to such other information with respect to the Purchased Assets that Servicer is required to deliver to Seller under the Servicing Agreement, on the same date such information is required to be delivered to Seller.

No provision of this letter may be amended, countermanded or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Seller and Servicer. Administrative Agent is an intended third party beneficiary of this letter.

This servicer re-direction letter 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. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission (including a PDF e-mail transmission) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this letter shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this letter.

The obligations of each Holder under this Section 6 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and Servicer shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of these provisions.

If any non-advancing Holder fails or refuses to advance the foregoing share of such Advance, the other Holder[s], shall have the right to advance the portion of such Advance not advanced. Repayment of any and all such Advances made by the applicable Holders together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, if applicable, shall be paid to the Holders as provided in Section 3 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3 and any other provisions in this Agreement, no monthly debt service payment Advances shall be made with respect to any Note.

Each Holder shall promptly pay when due, its share of such Costs (which shall be based on such Holder’s Percentage Interest) or shall promptly reimburse the applicable Holder following the notice thereof, in each case, which have not already been paid by Borrower or reimbursed pursuant to Section 3 hereof. In the event any Holder fails to pay its share of any Costs (based on such Holder’s Percentage Interest), each other Holder shall be permitted to pay such Costs and shall be entitled to accrue interest at the Mortgage Default Rate on such additional costs paid by such Holder, which such additional costs and interest thereon shall be reimbursed to the applicable Holder pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

Except as expressly provided in this


		-25-		Co-Lender Agreement

Agreement, each Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holder[s] [has/have] not made any representations or warranties with respect to the Loan, and that the other Holder[s] shall [not have/have no] any responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished to the [Initial Note A-1 Holder][Initial Note Holders][Initial Lender] in connection with the origination of the Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Loan Documents or (iv) the financial condition of the Borrower.

In addition, each Holder may split its respective Note into multiple participations without the consent of any other Person (it being understood that no participant shall be entitled to amounts other than what is allocated to the applicable Note had the applicable Holder not participated its Note). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder may Transfer its Note or any interest therein or grant any participation in its Note, to the Borrower or any Borrower Related Party without the prior written consent of the remaining Holder[s].

		-26-		Co-Lender Agreement

transaction shall be a Transfer of a constant, and not a varying, percentage interest of such Holder’s interest in each of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, and such Transfer shall be comprised of the same percentage interests of such transferor (for the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Holder may transfer any portion of its interest in the Mezzanine Loan without simultaneously transferring a proportionate amount of its interest in the Mortgage Loan (and vice versa) and (ii) any such transfers must be made to the same transferee, such that after such a transfer a new Holder holds a ratable share in both the Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan).]

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder of a Note may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note or any interest therein to any entity (other than the Borrower, any Borrower Related Party) which has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16(b), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to such Holder or any Affiliate which controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in such Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 16 are complied with; provided, that, a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to any Note, without [the/each] non-Pledging Holder’s consent, and no Note Pledgee may take title to any Note without satisfying the requirements for transfer set forth in this Section 16. Upon written notice, if any, by the Holder of any Note (the “Pledging Holder”) to the Holder of any other Note, the Administrator and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), the Holders of each Note not subject to such Pledge shall acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the Pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the Pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the Pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to such Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the Pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within ten (10) days after request therefor; (iv) that the such Holder shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the Pledging Holder which the Pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by the Pledging Holder; (v) that such Holder or Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided, that, any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to such Holder and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the Pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the Pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or repurchase agreement relating


		-27-		Co-Lender Agreement

to the Pledge between the Pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the Pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that the Administrator or any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Each Pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases each other Holder and any Servicer from any liability to the Pledging Holder on account of such Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such Holder in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the Pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, each Holder (other than the Pledging Holder) and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than the Borrower or any Borrower Related Party) which is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the Pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the Pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 16(b) shall remain effective as to each Holder and any Servicer unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such other Holder (other than the applicable Pledging Holder), and any Servicer, if applicable, in writing that its interest in the Note subject to the underlying Pledge has terminated.

17. Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each of the Holders acknowledges that the other Holder[s] may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower (each a “Borrower Related Party” and collectively, “Borrower Related Parties”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to the Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

18. Exercise of Remedies by the Administrator or Servicer.

(a) Each of the Holders acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, (i) the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) may exercise or refrain from exercising any rights that the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) may have hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement, so long as such actions are in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the other terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Administrator (and/or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Holders as a result of the Administrator’s (or the Servicer’s) exercise of such rights or any omission by the Administrator (or the Servicer on its behalf) to exercise such rights, except as expressly provided herein or for acts or omissions that are taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) that constitute gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or illegal acts (provided, with respect to an illegal act, only to the extent such act is directly related to, and, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final non-


		-28-		Co-Lender Agreement

appealable basis, causes a loss to be suffered by one or more of the Holders) of, or a material breach of this Agreement by, the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) and (iii) the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required to service and administer the Loan on behalf of the Holders (as a collective whole) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, taking into account the interests of each Note. Each Holder agrees that the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) to the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, shall have the sole and exclusive authority (in each case, subject to the Accepted Servicing Practices, approval of Major Decisions by the Holders and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement) with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority (subject to Section 19(c) hereof) (i) to modify or waive any of the terms of the Loan Documents, (ii) to consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Loan Documents, (iii) to vote all claims with respect to the Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Loan or institute any foreclosure action and in all cases acting in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to Administrator’s (or the Servicer’s) administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Loan and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to Administrator such rights. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence. Administrator shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Holder in connection with the administration of the Loan. Each Holder hereby agrees to reimburse, indemnify and hold Administrator, Servicer and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively “Representatives”) harmless from and against, and to be responsible for any and all out of pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any costs incurred in defense thereof, which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Administrator, Servicer and/or their respective Representatives, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, or any action taken or omitted by Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) under the Loan or the Loan Documents unless and to the extent such liability results from breach of any of its representations and warranties hereunder by Administrator, or against any liability arising from Administrator’s or any of its Representatives’ willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of its duties or negligent disregard of its obligations or duties hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action which would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Loan Documents, be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, shall

exercise such rights and powers described in this Section 18 on the understanding that the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, shall administer the Loan in a manner consistent with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, provided, that, the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable to the Holders with respect to anything the Servicer may do or omit to do in relation to the Loan, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, unless such act or omission is the direct result of gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or illegal acts (provided, with respect to an illegal act, only to the extent such act is directly related to, and, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final non-appealable basis, causes a loss to be suffered by one or more of the Holders) of, or a material breach of this Agreement by, the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, may rely on the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts (including those retained by the Borrower) and upon any written communication or telephone conversation which the Servicer or Administrator, as applicable, believes to be genuine and correct or to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.

(c) If title to the Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of the Holders in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, title to the Mortgaged Property shall be held in the name of a newly formed limited liability company (such entity, the “Successor Owner”), the sole members of which shall be the Holders (or Affiliates of the respective Holders). Each Holder’s ownership interest in the Successor Owner shall be equal to such Holder’s Percentage Interest as of the date of acquisition of the REO Property. The operating agreement for the Successor Owner (the “LLC Agreement”) shall contain terms evidencing the same decision-making authority (as applicable), rights, interests and priorities related to the interests of the Holders in the Successor Owner which shall be substantially similar to those provided in this Agreement.

(d) The Administrator or such other Person designated by the Administrator including, without limitation, the Servicer or any special servicer pursuant to any Special Servicing Agreement entered into by the Administrator (such Person or the Administrator acting in such capacity, is hereinafter referred to as the “Special Servicer”), on behalf of the Holders, shall dispose of any REO Property utilizing reasonable best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to maximize the proceeds of such disposal to the Holders (as a collective whole) if and when the Special Servicer, determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such disposal would be in the best economic interest of the Holders (as a collective whole), and provided that the Special Servicer has received the prior written consent of the Holders under Section 19(c).

(e) Provided that it has received the prior written consent of the Holders under Section 19(c), the Special Servicer, shall have full power and authority, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole). The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”). The Special Servicer shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account, all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Costs with respect to such REO Property.


		-30-		Co-Lender Agreement

(f) In the event the Special Servicer has determined to sell the Loan or REO Property and provided that the Special Servicer has received the prior written consent of the Holders under Section 19(c), the Special Servicer, shall have full power and authority as are consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the terms of this Agreement, to sell the Loan or REO Property on such terms as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Holders (as a collective whole). The Administrator or the Special Servicer shall be entitled to order, at the expense of the Holders, an appraisal of the REO Property.

(g) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer for the REO Property or Loan, if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole, and provided that the Special Servicer has received the prior written consent of the Holders under Section 19(c). In addition, provided that the Special Servicer has received the prior written consent of the Holders under Section 19(c), the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders as a collective whole (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable), provided, that, the offeror is not the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

(h) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 18, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Holders in negotiating and taking other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of the Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of the Loan or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, any Special Servicer or any Holder, and, if such sale is consummated in accordance with the duties of the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to any Holders with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer.

(i) The proceeds of any sale of the Loan or REO Property after deduction of the direct out-of-pocket expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly deposited in the Collection Account.

If any Holder disapproves a proposed Unanimous Decision or the Requisite Holders fail to approve any Major Decision in writing, then such proposed action in accordance with Section 19(c) or Section 19(d), as applicable, may not be taken by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, (i) the Administrator (or Servicer on it is behalf) determines that emergency action is reasonably necessary to protect the applicable Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) at a time earlier than the time that such Servicer would otherwise be entitled to take such action pursuant to Section 19(d) or otherwise under this Agreement and (ii) such action requires consultation with and/or consent of the Holders, then it shall contact each Holder (by telephone, email or fax) promptly and shall discuss (unless any Holder shall fail to respond in a reasonable time frame under the circumstances) the proposed action with each Holder, and, if the consent of the Holders would ordinarily be required, attempt to reach agreement within the revised time frame prior to taking the proposed action, but shall be entitled to take the necessary emergency action within the necessary time frame regardless of

whether it has been able to contact or obtained the agreement of the Holders.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if at any time any Holder is Borrower or a Borrower Related Party, then, in each case, such Holder shall not have any consent or approval right with respect to a Unanimous Decision or Major Decision.

(h) No Holder or Administrator shall owe any fiduciary duty to any trustee, any Servicer or any other Holder. No Holder or Administrator shall have any liability to any trustee, any Servicer or any other Holder for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Note in the Loan, each Holder shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that, subject in all respects to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, (i) a Holder may take or refrain from taking actions that favor the interests of any related Holder or its Affiliates over the other Holder(s), (ii) a Holder or Administrator may take or refrain from taking actions (or cause another Holder to take or refrain from taking actions) that favor its interest or the interests of its Affiliates over any other Holder, (iii) that a Holder or Administrator may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interest of another Holder and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Holder or Administrator or any of their officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such a special relationships or conflicts and (iv) that no Holder or Administrator shall be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its Affiliates.

Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Holder shall deliver to the Administrator and/or Servicer, evidence satisfactory to the Administrator and/or Servicer substantiating that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Administrator nor Servicer is obligated under applicable law to withhold taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (a) each Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Servicer an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (b) if any Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Servicer Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Holder, as evidence of such Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Administrator and Servicer shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the applicable Holder in respect of its Note or otherwise until such Holder shall have furnished to the Servicer the requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.


		-42-		Co-Lender Agreement

34. Additional Rights of Initial Holders. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Holder may (i) reallocate all or any portion of the principal balance evidenced by any Note held by such Holder to the principal balance of any other Note held by a Holder (a “Reallocation”) and/or (ii) amend and restate, replace or split any Note held by such Holder into one or more additional or replacement promissory notes (a “Note Split”), in each case, without the consent of any other Holder. Each other Holder shall cooperate with the applicable Holder to consummate any Reallocation or Note Split, including, without limitation, executing such amendments, modifications and supplements to this Agreement, and the Loan Documents as required by such Holder. The Holder whose Note is being reallocated or split pursuant to this Section 34 shall reimburse the other Holders for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the other Holders in connection with the Reallocation or Note Split.

35. [Additional Advances.¹⁴

(a) If (i) Borrower requests an Additional Advance under Section [2.1(b)] of the Loan Agreement and the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) reasonably determines that all conditions to the applicable Additional Advance set forth in Section [2.1(b)] of the Loan Agreement have been satisfied in full, then the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall give written notice thereof to each of the Holders, which notice shall set forth the amount of such Additional Advance, the portion thereof that is payable by each Holder (which shall be based on such Holder’s Percentage Interest) and the date on which each Holder is requested to remit its pro rata share of such Additional Advance thereof to the Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf), and shall describe in reasonable detail the purpose for such Additional Advance.

(b) Each Holder shall be obligated to fund its pro rata share of each Additional Advance based on each Holder’s Percentage Interest.

(c) If any Holder defaults in its obligation to advance its pro rata share of any Additional Advance approved by Administrator (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) on the date (the “Funding Date”) that such Advance is required to be made hereunder (such unfunded amount, a “Delinquent Advance Amount”), such Holder shall be a “Delinquent Advance Holder” for all purposes hereunder until and unless such delinquency is cured in accordance with the terms of clause (iii) below, and the following provisions shall apply:

(i) Each Holder that is not a Delinquent Advance Holder (a “Non-Delinquent Advance Holder”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund such Delinquent Advance Holder’s portion of such Additional Advance, and the amount so funded by the Non-Delinquent Advance Holder shall bear interest at the Mortgage Default Rate, which shall be payable pursuant to Section 3 hereof (any Non-Delinquent Advance Holder making any such advance, an “Electing Non-Delinquent Advance Holder”).

¹⁴	Delete Section 35 if the Loan does not include future advances.


		-43-		Co-Lender Agreement

(ii) Subject to Delinquent Advance Holder’s right to cure as provided in clause (iii) below, but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a Delinquent Advance Holder shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by Holders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, any Delinquent Advance Holder shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrator, the Servicer and/or the Non-Delinquent Advance Holder(s) under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Delinquent Advance Holder’s becoming a Delinquent Advance Holder and prior to such Delinquent Advance Holder’s cure of such delinquency.

(iii) A Delinquent Advance Holder may cure a delinquency arising out of its failure to fund its required portion of any Additional Advance if, within thirty (30) days following the Funding Date (the “Cure Period”), it remits to the Servicer its required portion of such Additional Advance (together with interest thereon at the Mortgage Default Rate for the period from the date such Advance was made until the date of repayment). In the event any Delinquent Advance Holder cures a delinquency, such Delinquent Advance Holder nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver or any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer and/or the Non-Delinquent Advance Holders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to that Holder’s becoming a Delinquent Advance Holder and prior to its curing the delinquency as provided in this Section 35(c), provided, that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(iv) Any Delinquent Advance Holder agrees to indemnify and save harmless Administrator, Servicer and each of the other Holders and their respective successors and assigns, and each of their agents, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners and members (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of Delinquent Advance Holder’s failure to comply with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, failing to make an Additional Advance which is required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, the terms of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.]


		-44-		Co-Lender Agreement

36. Buy-Sell.

(a) In the event the Holders are unable to agree upon a Unanimous Decision or Major Decision requested by Administrator, any Holder and/or the Servicer, as applicable, within the applicable time period for approval of such decisions under Section 19(d) above, and such failure to agree continues for ten (10) days after written notice from any Holder (the “Initiating Note Holder”) to the other Holder(s) (a “Material Disagreement”), the Initiating Note Holder may thereafter invoke the provisions of this Section 36 by sending notice (the “Buy-Sell Notice”) to the Administrator, the Servicer and the other Holders with whom the Initiating Note Holder disagrees regarding the applicable Unanimous Decision or Major Decision (the “Responding Note Holders”) containing (i) a statement that the Initiating Note Holder wishes to buy the Responding Note Holders’ respective Notes or sell the Initiating Note Holder’s Note, as applicable, at the election of the Responding Note Holders and (ii) the value of the Loan (the “Designated Value”) that will be used in determining the Buy-Sell Price with respect to each applicable Holder.

(b) Prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the tenth (10th) Business Day after delivery of the Buy-Sell Notice (or such shorter time, not less than three (3) Business Days, as may be required for a response under the Loan Documents or in an emergency where the Administrator or the Servicer in good faith determines that prompt action is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders) to the Administrator, the Servicer and the Responding Note Holders (the “Election Period”), each Responding Note Holder shall give written notice to the Administrator, the Servicer and all of the other Holders electing either (i) to irrevocably purchase the Initiating Note Holder’s Note (notwithstanding whether the Initiating Note Holder’s Buy-Sell Notice indicated its wish to buy the Responding Note Holder’s Note) and the Notes of the other Holders that elect to sell their Notes in response to the Buy-Sell Notice for consideration payable to the Initiating Note Holder and each of the other selling Holders equal to the Buy-Sell Price applicable to such Holder (a “Purchasing Election”) or (ii) to irrevocably sell all of the applicable Responding Note Holder’s Note to the Initiating Note Holder and any Responding Note Holders who elect to purchase in response to a Buy-Sell Notice (on a pro rata basis based on the respective Percentage Interests of the Initiating Note Holder and each purchasing Responding Note Holder divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of all such purchasing Holders) (a “Selling Election”) or (iii) to withdraw from the Material Disagreement and the buy-sell process by agreeing that the matter in dispute will be determined in accordance with the position taken by the Initiating Note Holder (a “Buy-Sell Withdrawal Notice”). If a Responding Note Holder shall not give the above notice within the Election Period, on the last day of the Election Period (the “Final Election Date”), the Responding Note Holder shall be deemed to have elected to have delivered a Buy-Sell Withdrawal Notice.

(c) In the event all of the Responding Note Holders elect to sell in response to a Buy-Sell Notice, the Initiating Note Holder shall be required to purchase the Notes of each of the Responding Note Holders for the Buy-Sell Price applicable to each such Holder. In the event more than one Responding Note Holder makes a Purchasing Election, each of the Responding Note Holders that made a Purchasing Election (the “Included Note Holder(s)”) shall purchase a pro rata portion (based on the respective Percentage Interest of the Note of each Included Note Holder electing to exercise such purchase right divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of each Included Note Holder electing to exercise such purchase right) of the Notes of the Initiating Note Holder and each of the Responding Note Holders that made a Selling Election.


		-45-		Co-Lender Agreement

(d) The closing for the purchase of the Holders’ Notes shall take place on the date (the “Buy-Sell Closing Date”) designated by the purchasing Holder(s) which is no more than ten (10) Business Days after the Final Election Date. On the Buy-Sell Closing Date, the selling Holder(s) (the “Selling Note Holders”) and the purchasing Holder(s) (the “Buying Note Holders”) shall execute and deliver to each other an assignment and assumption of Note, the Selling Note Holders shall make customary representations as to authority, authorization and good title (free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances) and the Selling Note Holders shall execute and deliver such other instruments of transfer as required pursuant to the Loan Documents and as shall be reasonably requested by the Buying Note Holders in order to convey to the Buying Note Holders the Selling Note Holders’ entire Note free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances. The Buying Note Holder(s) shall assume all obligations of the Selling Note Holders arising from and after the Buy-Sell Closing Date under and in connection with the Loan in such assignment and assumption agreement.

(e) On the Buy-Sell Closing Date, the Buying Note Holders shall pay to the Selling Note Holders, an amount equal to the applicable Buy-Sell Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Selling Note Holders. The closing shall occur at the office of the Buying Note Holders’ counsel as shall be designated by the Buying Note Holders by notice to the Selling Note Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Buy-Sell Closing Date, or at such other location as may be agreed to mutually by the Selling Note Holders and the Buying Note Holders. Each Holder shall pay its own attorney fees and other costs and expenses associated with the sale. All payments received by any Selling Note Holder on or after the Buy-Sell Closing Date in respect of the ownership interests of the Holders in the Loan shall be for the account of the Buying Note Holder(s).

(f) If any Buying Note Holder fails to complete the purchase within the time and in the manner required hereunder, then (A) the other Buying Note Holders, if any, may, elect to (1) purchase the pro rata portion of the Notes that such defaulting Buying Note Holder had elected to purchase from the Selling Note Holder in an amount equal to the applicable pro rata portion of the applicable Buy-Sell Price and/or (2) purchase such defaulting Buying Note Holder’s Note at ninety percent (90%) of the proposed Buy-Sell Price and (B) if there are no other Buying Note Holders, any of the Selling Note Holders may, without prejudice to any other remedies available hereunder or under applicable law, elect to become the Buying Note Holder and purchase all of the defaulting Buying Note Holder’s Note (in which case the defaulting Buying Note Holder shall be deemed a Selling Note Holder) at the applicable Buy-Sell Price, in each case such election to be made within fifteen (15) Business Days after the defaulting Buying Note Holder’s failure timely and properly to close, with the closing to take place within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of such election notice to the defaulting Buying Note Holder, and the actual costs and expenses of the other Holders in connection with such closing shall be paid by the defaulting Buying Note Holder. If more than one Selling Note Holder elects to become a Buying Note Holder in accordance with this Section 36(b), each such electing Holder shall purchase a pro rata portion (based on the respective Percentage Interest of the Note of each such Holder electing to exercise such purchase rights divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of each such Holder electing to exercise such purchase right) of the Notes that such defaulting Buying Note Holder had elected to purchase from the Selling Note Holder and/or the defaulting Buying Note Holder’s Notes, as applicable. If a Selling Note Holder fails to convey its Note within the time and in the manner required hereunder, then the Buying Note Holders shall have all remedies allowed by law, including specific performance.


		-46-		Co-Lender Agreement

(g) From and after the Final Election Date, the Buying Note Holder(s) shall make all determinations pursuant to Section 19(c) hereof without the approval of the Selling Note Holder(s). In the event the Buying Note Holder(s) fail to complete the purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such determinations shall be made by the non-defaulting Selling Note Holders until such time as the Selling Note Holders may elect to purchase the Buying Note Holders’ interest in accordance with the procedure and time frames described in Section 36(b). In the event that the Selling Note Holders do not elect to purchase the Buying Note Holders’ interests pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence within fifteen (15) Business Days, all such determinations shall be made by all Holders (excluding the defaulting Buying Note Holder) in accordance with Section 19(c) hereof.

(h) In the event the Administrator’s interest is sold pursuant to this Section 36, any Holder that is a Starwood Person may designate itself as the Administrator following such sale

37. Resignation and Removal of Administrator; Successor Administrator Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrator may resign from the performance of all of its functions and duties hereunder at any time and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, by giving at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to all of the Holders and Borrower.

(b) Upon the resignation of Administrator in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Required Holders shall designate a Holder or its Affiliate to act as the successor Administrator to perform all of the obligations and exercise the rights of Administrator hereunder; provided that if Administrator resigns with the intent to appoint an Affiliate as the successor Administrator, then the approval of the Required Holders shall not be required.

(c) If Administrator (i) is grossly negligent or commits willful misconduct with respect to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (ii) materially breaches the provisions of this Agreement, which breach, if susceptible to cure, remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days from notice by any Holder or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Administrator to cure such breach, (iii) becomes a Defaulting Holder, or (iv) is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, then the Required Holders (excluding the Holder acting as, or Affiliated with, Administrator hereunder from the determination of the Required Holders in the same manner as if such Holder were a Defaulting Holder) may, by delivering written notice to Administrator, remove Administrator from its role as Administrator hereunder, without affecting Administrator’s rights or obligations as a Holder, and appoint a successor Administrator.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 37, in no event shall a replacement or successor Administrator hereunder be (i) a Defaulting Holder, (ii) an Affiliate of any Administrator removed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (iii) any Borrower Related Holder or any Affiliate of a Borrower Related Holder.


		-47-		Co-Lender Agreement

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 37, in the event that [REPO LENDER] or its Affiliate shall take title to any Note and succeed to the interest of a Pledging Holder pursuant to a foreclosure or similar sale (or transfer in lieu of foreclosure) or other exercise of its remedies pursuant to a Note Pledge, [REPO LENDER] or its Affiliate shall be entitled to immediately remove Administrator from its role as Administrator hereunder (without affecting Administrator’s rights or obligations as a Holder), and appoint itself or its Affiliate as successor Administrator without the approval of the Required Holders.

38. Payment Returns and Adjustments. If Administrator notifies any Holder or other recipient that Administrator has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Holder or other recipient from Administrator or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such recipient (whether or not known to such recipient) (any such funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment” and any such recipient, an “Unintended Recipient”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrator in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrator for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of Administrator to any Unintended Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting Section 38(a), each Holder further agrees that if it receives funds from Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment or calculation statement sent by Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such funds (a “Payment Notice”), (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (iii) that such Unintended Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) or such funds are otherwise inconsistent with such recipient’s expectations, then in each case, an error shall be presumed to have been made and such funds shall be presumed to be an Erroneous Payment and such Holder shall be deemed to be an Unintended Recipient absent written confirmation from Administrator to the contrary. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Unintended Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrator for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each Holder agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify Administrator of such occurrence and, upon demand from Administrator, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Administrator the amount of any such funds (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together


		-48-		Co-Lender Agreement

with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) Each Holder hereby authorizes Administrator to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Holder under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrator to such Holder from any source, against any amount due to Administrator under any of the immediately preceding Sections 38(a) or 38(b).

(d) Administrator and each Holder hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Unintended Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, then Administrator shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Unintended Recipient with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by any Borrower, the guarantor or other party to the Loan Documents.

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrator or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Loan.

39. Borrower Related Holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event a Holder is a Borrower Related Holder, then such Borrower Related Holder shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (regardless of whether such matter is a Unanimous Decision, a Major Decision or other decision that requires the consent of the Holders under this Agreement or the Lender (as defined in the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Documents) and for the purposes of determining the Required Holders for any such matter, the portion of the Loan owned by such Borrower Related Holder shall be deemed to be subtracted from the total outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Ratable Shares of the other Holders will be recalculated accordingly solely for purposes of such vote. In addition, such Borrower Related Holder shall have no right to receive (directly or as a copy) any notices, correspondence, communications or other documents or information provided or exchanged by or among the Administrator and the other Holders regardless of whether such Borrower Related Holder is otherwise entitled to receive the same; provided, however, no action shall be taken by Administrator or Holders with respect to any of the matters described in this Section 39 without the consent of the Borrower Related Holder if any such action would (x) disproportionately (in relation to the other Holders) and adversely affect such Borrower Related Holder solely in its capacity as a Lender under the Loan Documents, (y) change the pani passu nature of the Holders’ interests in the Loan or (z) change the payment waterfall contained herein.

40. Administrator’s Actions to Preserve Collateral, Etc. In the event of the failure of Borrower to pay (a)(i) property taxes, (ii) insurance premiums or (iii) any other charges required by the Loan Documents to be paid by Borrower that may become liens on the Mortgaged Property senior to the liens on the Mortgaged Property granted under the Loan Documents (other than Permitted Encumbrances under the Loan Documents), or (b) if


		-49-		Co-Lender Agreement

determined by Administrator to be commercially prudent in order to (i) preserve the security interests in the Mortgaged Property, (ii) protect or enforce the Holders’ liens on the Mortgaged Property under the Mortgage and/or the Loan Documents or (iii) pay for expenditures which are emergency in nature and that Administrator believes in good faith are reasonably necessary to prevent personal injury, loss of life, material damage or substantial economic harm to the Mortgaged Property, Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to), to the extent otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, at its option in its sole and absolute discretion, make a protective advance (each, a “Protective Advance”) of sums reasonably necessary to preserve such collateral or protect such security interests and other rights or prevent such injury, loss, damage or harm, whether or not the amount advanced for said purposes will cause the principal amount of the Loan to exceed the loan amount; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances to fund expenditures described in clauses (a)(iii), (b)(i) and (b)(ii) (“Specified PA Matters”; for avoidance of doubt, Specified PA Matters do not include expenditures described in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (b(iii)) may not exceed 1.0% of the Loan Principal Balance (the “PA Threshold Amount”) except with the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Each Holder, promptly upon receipt of written demand of Administrator, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such written demand, shall reimburse Administrator for its Percentage Interest of the amount of any such Protective Advance. Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each Holder that is not a Defaulting Holder prior to the making of any Protective Advance, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless such Protective Advance is in respect of a Specified PA Matter and the amount of such Protective Advance would cause the aggregate amount of Protective Advances in respect of Specified PA Matters to exceed the PA Threshold Amount; provided in any event that Administrator shall have the right to make a Protective Advance without taking such commercially reasonable efforts if Administrator reasonably believes in good faith that such Protective Advance is emergency in nature and that is reasonably necessary to prevent personal injury, loss of life, material damage or substantial economic harm to the Mortgaged Property. Administrator shall, in any event, notify each Holder in writing, which may be in e-mail form, of the making of each Protective Advance promptly after same is made. Upon any Holder’s written request therefor, which may be in e-mail form, Administrator shall promptly furnish each Holder such information and supporting documentation as Administrator may have received and/or reviewed regarding any particular Protective Advance.

41. Defaulting Holder. If and to the extent that any Holder becomes a Defaulting Holder, then:

(a) To the extent a Holder has become a Defaulting Holder due to its failure to fund a Required Protective Advance, the other Holders, or any of them, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance all or any part of its Percentage Interest of any such Deficiency that should have been made by the Defaulting Holder, and the Defaulting Holder agrees to repay upon demand to each of the Holders who has advanced a portion of the Deficiency the amount advanced on behalf of the Defaulting Holder, together with interest thereon at the Mortgage Default Rate. To the extent that the Defaulting Holder thereafter funds such Deficiency with interest thereon at the Mortgage Default Rate, such Holder shall no longer be a Defaulting Holder.


		-50-		Co-Lender Agreement

(b) If more than one Holder elects to advance a portion of a Deficiency, such Holders’ advances shall be made based on the relative Percentage Interests of the Loan of each such advancing Holder or as otherwise agreed to by such Holders. In the event the Defaulting Holder fails to advance or repay the Deficiency, the interest of such Defaulting Holder in the Loan to the extent of the Deficiency, shall be subordinate to the interests of the other Holders, and all payments otherwise payable to the Defaulting Holder shall be used to advance or repay the Deficiency, as applicable, until such time such Defaulting Holder advances or repays all Deficiencies (with interest at the Mortgage Default Rate) attributable to such Holder.

(c) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Holder under this Section 41 are in addition to any other rights and remedies, at law, in equity or otherwise that Administrator or any Holder may have against such Defaulting Holder with respect to any Deficiency or otherwise.

(d) The failure of any Holder to pay any Deficiency shall not relieve any other Holder of its obligation, if any, hereunder or pursuant to any Loan Document to pay its Percentage Interest of a Required Protective Advance on the applicable funding date, and no Holder shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Holder to pay its Percentage Interest of the Required Protective Advance on the applicable funding date; provided, however, that the Holders shall be obligated to fund the balance of the then current Required Protective Advance (i.e., excluding the Deficiency) in the manner required hereunder or pursuant to any Loan Document.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for as long as a Holder is a Defaulting Holder, such Holder shall have no right to participate in any discussions among the Holders hereunder or to consent to, approve or vote on any action or decision with respect to the Loan hereunder requiring the consent, approval or vote of any Holder, and for purposes of determining how many or which Holders constitute the Requisite Holders for purposes of consenting to, approving or voting with respect to any decision or any action (or waiver or forbearance from taking an action) by Administrator, the portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan allocated to any Defaulting Holder shall be disregarded for such determination. Further, any Holder that is a Defaulting Holder shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrator, Servicer and/or any Holders that are not Defaulting Holders under, any Loan Document to the extent made while such Holder is a Defaulting Holder. If a Defaulting Holder cures the applicable default such that it is no longer a Defaulting Holder, its consent, approval or voting rights hereunder shall be reinstated as and from the date of its cure of such default; provided, however, such Defaulting Holder nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrator, Servicer and/or Holders that are not Defaulting Holders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to such Holder’s becoming a Defaulting Holder and prior to its curing the applicable delinquency or delinquencies in accordance with this Agreement, so long as such amendment, waiver or action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
