Purchased Asset, including each document in the related Asset File
and Records, is vested in Buyer; provided that, prior to the

4. Repurchase
a. Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Assets from Buyer
on each related Repurchase Date for the related Repurchase Price.
Such obligation to repurchase exists without regard to any prior or
intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased
Asset (but liquidation or foreclosure proceeds received by Buyer
shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Asset on each Price Differential Payment Date except as otherwise
provided herein). Seller is obligated to repurchase and take
physical possession of the Purchased Assets from Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian) at Seller's expense on the
related Repurchase Date.
b. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, and Buyer has received the related Repurchase Price upon
repurchase of the Purchased Assets, Buyer agrees to release its
ownership interest hereunder in the Purchased Assets (including, the
Repurchase Assets related thereto) at the request of Seller and
concurrently with such release, Buyer shall be deemed to have
transferred its ownership interest in such Purchased Assets to the
Seller. Buyer agrees to deliver to Seller such instruments of
further assurance as Seller may reasonably request to evidence such
transfer.
c. With respect to prepayments in full or part by the related
Mortgagor or obligor of a Purchased Asset, Mezzanine Loan or
Mezzanine Loan Junior Interest, Seller agrees to (i) provide Buyer
with a copy of a report from the related Servicer indicating that
such Purchased Asset, Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Loan Junior
Interest has been paid in full or part, (ii) pay to Buyer the
portion of the Repurchase Price payable pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)
above within one Business Day of receipt of such prepayment and
(iii) provide Buyer a notice specifying each Purchased Asset,
Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interest that has been
prepaid. With respect to Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans or
Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests being serviced by Third Party
Servicers, the Seller or Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary, as applicable,
and Servicer shall forward all payments to the Buyer to the extent
received from the underlying obligor and Third Party Servicer. Buyer
agrees to release its ownership interest in Purchased Assets,
Mezzanine Loans or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests which have been
prepaid in full after receipt of evidence of compliance with clauses
(i) through (iii) of the second preceding sentence, and concurrently
with such release, Buyer shall be deemed to have transferred its
ownership interest in such Purchased Assets to the Seller. Buyer
agrees to deliver to Seller such instruments of further assurance as
Seller may reasonably request to evidence such transfer.
-24-
d. The Seller may voluntarily repurchase Purchased Assets or request
a Purchase Price Decrease without penalty or premium on any Business
Day. If the Seller intends to make such a repurchase or Purchase
Price Decrease, the Seller shall give two (2) Business Days' prior
written notice thereof to the Buyer, designating the Purchased
Assets, Mezzanine Loans or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests to be
repurchased, which notice is irrevocable if not revoked prior to the
date one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Repurchase Date. If
such notice is given and not revoked, the amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, and,
on receipt, such amount shall be applied to the Repurchase Price for
the designated Purchased Assets. Buyer agrees to release its
ownership interest in Purchased Assets, or release its security
interest in the Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests,
immediately upon receipt of such Repurchase Price, and concurrently
with such release, Buyer shall be deemed to have transferred its
ownership interest in such Purchased Assets to the Seller. Buyer
agrees to deliver to Seller such instruments of further assurance as
Seller may reasonably request to evidence such transfer
e. If the Seller repurchases, in whole or in part, or causes a
Purchase Price Decrease with respect to, Purchased Assets, Mezzanine
Loans or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests on any day which is not the
Repurchase Date or a Price Differential Payment Date (as determined
at the time the Buyer locked in the rate of LIBOR) for such
Purchased Assets, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer and hold the
Buyer harmless from any losses, costs and/or expenses which the
Buyer sustains or incurs arising from the reemployment of funds
obtained by the Buyer hereunder or from fees payable to terminate
the deposits from which such funds were obtained, in each case for
the remainder of the applicable 30-day period ("Breakage Costs").
The Buyer shall deliver to the 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 the
Seller, absent manifest error.
5. Price Differential
a. The Pricing Rate shall be reset with respect to each Libor Period
that a Transaction is outstanding, and, unless otherwise agreed, the
accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be settled in cash on
the related Price Differential Payment Date immediately following
such Libor Period. Two Business Days prior to the Price Differential
Payment Date, Buyer shall give Seller written or electronic notice
of the amount of the Price Differential due on such Price
Differential Payment Date. On the Price Differential Payment Date,
Seller shall pay to Buyer (to the extent not paid on such date
through the distributions required pursuant to Sections 7(d), 7(e)
or 34 hereof) the accrued but unpaid Price Differential and the
accrued but unpaid Administration Fee for such Price Differential
Payment Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
b. If Seller fails to pay (through Sections 7(d), 7(e), 34 or the
preceding clause (a)), all or part of the Price Differential by 3:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the related Price Differential Payment
Date, with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall be obligated
to pay to Buyer (in addition to, and together with, the amount of
such Price Differential) the amount by which interest on the unpaid
Repurchase Price at a rate per annum equal to the Post Default Rate
exceeds the amount of such Price Differential, until the unpaid
Price Differential is received in full by Buyer.
-25-
6. Margin Maintenance
a. If at any time the Asset Value of the Purchased Assets subject to
Transactions is less than the Purchase Price for then outstanding
Transactions (an "Asset Value Margin Deficit"), then, if such Asset
Value Margin Deficit (combined with any Concentration Limit Margin
Deficit and any Rating Margin Deficit) is greater than the Permitted
Amount, Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to
Buyer cash in an amount at least equal to the Asset Value Margin
Deficit (such requirement, an "Asset Value Margin Call") and Buyer
shall apply such cash to the Repurchase Price with respect to the
Purchased Asset that gave rise to such Asset Value Margin Call.
b. If at any time after the Ramp-up Trigger Date, the Concentration
Limit is exceeded (the amount of such excess, a "Concentration Limit
Margin Deficit"), then, if such Concentration Limit Margin Deficit
(combined with any Asset Value Margin Deficit and any Rating Margin
Deficit) is greater than the Permitted Amount, Buyer may by notice
to Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount such
that the Purchased Assets would be in compliance with such
Concentration Limit (such requirement, a "Concentration Limit Margin
Call") and the Buyer shall apply such cash to the outstanding
Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets on a weighted average, pro
rata, basis in the category of the Purchased Assets that exceeded
its respective Concentration Limit.
c. If at any time after the Ramp-up Trigger Date, the Buyer
determines in its sole good faith discretion that the Purchase Price
outstanding relative to Purchased Assets would not receive a rating
of at least BBB+ (or the comparable designation) from any Rating
Agency, as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion
generally in accordance with the methodology used by any Rating
Agency, (a "Rating Margin Deficit" and together with an Asset Value
Margin Deficit and a Concentration Limit Margin Deficit a "Margin
Deficit"), then, if such Rating Margin Deficit (combined with any
Concentration Limit Margin Deficit and any Asset Value Margin
Deficit) is greater than the Permitted Amount, Buyer may by notice
to Seller require Seller to transfer to Buyer cash in an amount such
that the entire Purchase Price outstanding relative to such
Purchased Assets after application of such cash would receive a
rating of at least BBB+ (or the comparable designation) from any
Rating Agency, as determined by Buyer (such requirement, a "Rating
Margin Call" and together with an Asset Value Margin Call and a
Concentration Limit Margin Call a "Margin Deficit") and the Buyer
shall apply such cash to the outstanding Purchase Price of all
Purchased Assets on a weighted average, pro rata, basis.
-26-
d. Notices delivered pursuant to Sections 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c) may be
given by any written means pursuant to Section 20. Any notice given
before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be
met, and the related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on such Business Day; notice given after 10:00
a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day shall be met, and the
related Margin Call satisfied, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the following Business Day (the foregoing time
requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as
the "Margin Deadlines"). The failure of Buyer, on any one or more
occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or
alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or
limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer
each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights
hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer's rights under this
Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create
additional rights for Seller.
e. In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any
Purchased Asset, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which
the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds shall
be applied by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit by
application against the Repurchase Price for the related Purchased
Asset for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise
unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer retains the
right, in its sole good faith discretion, to make a Margin Call in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.
7. Income Payments
a. The Securities Account shall be established by the Servicer in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Control Account
Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall have sole dominion and
control over the Securities Account. All Income (other than amounts
deposited in escrow accounts in accordance with the Servicing
Standard) in respect of the Purchased Assets and any payments in
respect of associated Interest Rate Protection Agreements, as well
as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall
be deposited into the Securities Account within two (2) Business
Days of receipt by Servicer and shall be remitted by Servicer from
the Securities Account in accordance with this Agreement. All such
Income shall be held for and on behalf of Buyer, shall constitute

with other property of Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, or Servicer.
Servicer shall have the right at all times, subject to the
provisions of the Control Account Agreement, to access and remove
funds in the Securities Account to the extent permitted by the
Servicing Standard. Such amounts may be invested in Permitted
Investments that mature on the succeeding Price Differential Payment
Date.
b. Servicer shall deposit all Income (other than amounts deposited
in escrow accounts), derived from the Purchased Assets, whether

c. In addition, with respect to each Purchased Asset, Seller shall
deliver to the Custodian an instruction letter from Buyer, signed by
the Servicer, with respect to such Purchased Asset, instructing the
Servicer, as applicable, to remit all sums required to be remitted
to the holder of such Purchased Asset under the loan documents to
the Securities Account or as otherwise directed in a written notice
signed by Buyer. Buyer may deliver such instruction letter to the
Servicer only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default. With respect to Third Party Servicers, the parties
shall comply with Section 12(d) hereof.
d. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
all Balloon Payments and Principal Prepayments deposited into the
Securities Account shall, after notice to Buyer, be applied by Buyer
on the date of such deposit or, if such deposit is made after 3:00
p.m. (New York time), on the following Business Day, to reduce the
Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset by an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount of such payment and (ii) the
Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset. The balance of such
Balloon Payments and Principal Prepayments in excess of the
Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be paid to
Seller on such date.
e. Funds deposited in the Securities Account during any Libor Period
(except as provided in Section 7(d) above) shall be held therein
until the next Price Differential Payment Date. On or before 3:00

Payment Date, Servicer shall deliver to Buyer and the Bank a

Buyer pursuant to Section 5, except to the extent of any amounts
paid at the Post Default Rate, which excess amounts shall be applied
in reduction of Seller's obligation to pay excess interest on the
unpaid Repurchase Price calculated at the Post Default Rate..
8. Security Interest
a. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be
sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such
Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer
as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and
hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first
priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the

effective absence of a "securities market" for securities backed by
mortgage loans or an event or events shall have occurred resulting
in Buyer not being able to sell securities backed by mortgage loans
at prices which would have been reasonable prior to such event or
events; or
(c) there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the
financial condition of Buyer which affects (or can reasonably be
expected to affect) materially and adversely the ability of Buyer to
fund its obligations under this Agreement.
c. Transaction Request. Each Transaction Request delivered by the
Seller hereunder shall constitute a certification by the Seller that
all the conditions set forth in Section 10(b) (other than clause (9)
thereof) have been satisfied (both as of the date of such notice or
request and as of the date of such purchase). Each Purchase
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be evidence of the
terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby unless specific
objection is made no less than two (2) Business Days after the date
thereof and Seller's acceptance of the related proceeds shall
-35-
constitute Seller's agreement to the terms of such Purchase
Confirmation. An objection sent by Seller with respect to any
Purchase Confirmation (as to which Seller has not accepted or has
returned the related proceeds) must state specifically that the
writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such
Purchase Confirmation being objected to by Seller, and must set
forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes such
provisions should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more
than two (2) Business Days after such Purchase Confirmation is
received by Seller.
11. Program; Costs
a. Subject to the provisions of Section 36 hereof, Seller shall
reimburse Buyer for any of Buyer's reasonable out-of-pocket costs,
including due diligence review costs and reasonable attorney's fees,
incurred by Buyer in determining the acceptability to Buyer of any
Eligible Assets. Seller shall also pay, or reimburse Buyer if Buyer
shall pay, any termination fee, which may be due any servicer.
Seller shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer's counsel
in connection with its preparation of the Program Agreements. Legal
fees for any subsequent amendments to this Agreement or related
documents shall be borne by Seller. Seller shall pay ongoing
custodial and bank fees and expenses and any other ongoing fees and
expenses, in each case, under any other Program Agreement.
b. If Buyer determines that, due to the introduction of or
compliance by Buyer with any change in, (i) any eurocurrency reserve
requirement or (ii) the interpretation of any law, regulation or any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be
an increase in the cost to Buyer in engaging in the present or any
future Transactions, then Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, from time
to time, upon demand by Buyer (with a copy to Custodian) the actual
cost of additional amounts as specified by Buyer (absent manifest
error) to compensate Buyer for such increased costs.
c. With respect to any Transaction, Buyer may conclusively rely
upon, and shall incur no liability to Seller in acting upon, any
request or other communication that Buyer reasonably believes to
have been given or made by a person authorized to enter into a
Transaction on Seller's behalf, whether or not such person is listed
on the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 10(a)(5) hereof. In
each such case, Seller hereby waives the right to dispute Buyer's
record of the terms of the Purchase Confirmation, request or other
communication (absent manifest error).
d. Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with
respect to each Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller agrees and
covenants with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller's rights and
remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.
e. Any and all payments by the Seller under or in respect of this
Repurchase Agreement or any other Repurchase Documents to which the
Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present
or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and
additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation
authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, "Taxes"),
-36-
unless required by law or otherwise provided herein with respect to
Excluded Taxes. If the Seller shall be required under any applicable
Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Repurchase
Agreement or any of the other Repurchase Documents to the Buyer, (i)
Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of
Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in
respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other
Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement
of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required
deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 11) such
Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of
Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Repurchase Agreement the
term "Non-Excluded Taxes" are Taxes other than, in the case of a
Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under
the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable
lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such
Taxes are imposed as a result of such Buyer having executed,
delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under,
or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Repurchase Documents
(in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).
f. In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future
stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added
taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any
payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other
Repurchase Document or from the execution, delivery or registration
of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement or any other Repurchase Document (collectively, "Other
Taxes").
g. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it
harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other
Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 11 imposed on or
paid by such Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions
to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 11(g)
shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been
correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the
indemnity set forth in this Section 11(g) shall be paid within ten
(10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand
therefor.
h. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall
furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the
original official receipt evidencing payment thereof. For purposes
of subsection (i) of this Section 11, the terms "United States" and
"United States person" shall have the meanings specified in Section
7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.
-37-
i. Each Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee,
successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under
the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of
Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include "Incorporated," "Inc.,"
"Corporation," "Corp.," "P.C.," "insurance company," or "assurance
company" (a "Non-Exempt Buyer") shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly
executed documents:
(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not
a United States person, a complete and executed (x) U.S.
Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which
Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United
States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or
any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate
attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI
(or any successor forms thereto); or
(ii) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete
and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any
successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit XII (a "Section 11 Certificate") or (y) a
complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
(or any successor forms thereto); or
(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is
organized under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms
thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or
(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is
not organized under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete
and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
claiming a zero rate of withholding (or any successor forms
thereto) and a Section 11 Certificate; or
(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is
treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and
(B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any
State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete
and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any
successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and
attachments) and (ii) a Section 11 Certificate, and (y)
without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial
owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners
looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities
that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax
-38-
purposes (all such owners, "beneficial owners"), the documents
that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi),
(vii) and/or this clause (v) with respect to each such
beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were Buyer,
provided, however, that no such documents will be required
with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual
Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements
for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be
provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the
requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be
unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to
be made in the sole discretion of Seller, provided, however,
that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such
compliance as reasonable; or
(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is
disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document
that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v),
(vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 11(i) with
respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were
the Buyer; or
(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A)
is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the
capacity as an "intermediary" (as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required
documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 7 Certificate,
and (y) if the intermediary is a "non-qualified intermediary"
(as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person
upon whose behalf the "non-qualified intermediary" is acting
the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii),
(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) with respect
to each such person if each such person were Buyer.
j. If the forms referred to above in this Section 11(i) that are
provided by a Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party to
this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the
effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest
withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate
shall be treated as Taxes other than "Non-Excluded Taxes" ("Excluded
Taxes") and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until
such Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser
rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be
considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such
form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee,
successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was
entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section
11, then the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be
entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and
only to the extent), that the Buyer transferor was entitled to such
indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and
the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to
additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or
additional Non-Excluded Taxes.
-39-
k. For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide
Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document
described in subsection (i) of this Section 11 (other than (i) if
such failure is due to a change in any applicable Requirement of
Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring
after the date on which a form, certificate or other document
originally was required to be provided, (ii) if such form,
certificate or other document otherwise is not required under
subsection (i) of this Section 11, or (iii) if it is legally
inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such Buyer
to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Buyer
shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under
subsection (a), (e) or (g) of this Section 11 with respect to
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such
failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to
Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form,
certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take
such steps as such Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist such
Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.
l. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller
contained in this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall require the
Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other
information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.
m. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent
for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise
taxes, to treat the Transaction as indebtedness of the Seller that
is secured by the Purchased Assets, the Mezzanine Loans and the
Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests and the Purchased Assets as owned by
the Seller for federal income tax purposes in the absence of a
Default by the Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such
treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this
treatment, unless required by law.
12. Servicing
a. Seller, the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and the Buyer shall
contract with Servicer to service the Purchased Assets, Mezzanine
Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests consistent with the degree
of skill and care that Servicer customarily requires with respect to
similar Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior
Interests owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices (the "Servicing Standard"). The Servicing
Standard shall require, inter alia, that: Servicer (i) comply with
all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii)
maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform
its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the
rights of the Buyer in any Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans or
Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests or any payment thereunder. In
addition, the Servicing Standard shall require that the Servicer
deposit all collections of Income (other than amounts deposited in
escrow accounts in accordance with to the Servicing Standard)
received by Servicer on account of the Purchased Assets, Mezzanine
Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests in the Securities Account
no later than two Business Days following receipt.
-40-
b. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any of (i) an
Event of Default hereunder or (ii) an event of default under the
Servicing Standard, Buyer shall have the right to immediately
terminate the Servicer's right to service the Purchased Assets,
Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests without payment
of any penalty or termination fee. Seller and Servicer shall
cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Assets,
Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests to a successor
servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole discretion.
c. If Seller or the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary should discover that,
for any reason whatsoever, Servicer or any entity responsible for
managing or servicing any Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans or
Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests has failed to perform in all
material respects any of the obligations of such entities with
respect to the Purchased Assets Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan
Junior Interests, or that an event of default under the Servicing
Standard has occurred, the Seller or Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary shall
promptly notify Buyer.
d. In the event that the Servicer is a master servicer of a
Purchased Asset, Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interest
which is serviced by a Third Party Servicer, the Seller shall
provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Notice addressed to and agreed
to by the Third Party Servicer of the related Purchased Assets,
Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests advising such
Third Party Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably
request, including, without limitation, recognition by the master
servicer of Buyer's interest in such Purchased Assets, Mezzanine
Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests and the Third Party
Servicer's agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of
Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with
respect to the Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan
Junior Interests and any related Income with respect thereto.
e. Seller shall not employ sub-servicers (other than the Servicer or
Affiliates thereof or Third Party Servicers) to service the
Purchased Assets, Mezzanine Loans or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests
without the prior written approval of Buyer, which such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Purchased Assets,
Mezzanine Loans or Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests are serviced, in
whole or in part, by a sub-servicer (i) Servicer shall nevertheless
remain primarily liable to Buyer for the servicing of the Purchased
Assets, Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Loan Junior Interests under
the Servicing Standard; and (ii) any agreement with a subservicer
shall entitle Buyer to terminate such subservicer without fee or
penalty in the event that Servicer is replaced.
-41-
13. Representations and Warranties

represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of
each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

Guarantor Existence. Seller has been duly organized and is
validly existing as a limited liability company in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware Mezzanine

(ii) Licenses. Each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor is duly licensed or is
otherwise qualified in each jurisdiction in which it transacts
business for the business which it conducts and is not in
default of any applicable federal, state or local laws, rules
and regulations unless, in either instance, the failure to
take such action is not reasonably likely (either individually
or in the aggregate) to cause a Material Adverse Effect and is
not in default of such state's applicable laws, rules and
regulations. Each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and
Limited Guarantor has the requisite power and authority and
legal right to originate and purchase Eligible Assets (as
applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Assets, and
to execute and deliver, engage in the transactions
contemplated by, and perform and observe the terms and
conditions of, this Agreement, each Program Agreement and any
Transaction Request or Purchase Confirmation.
(iii) Power. Each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor has all requisite corporate
or other power, and has all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its
assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed
to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv) Due Authorization. Each of Seller, Mezzanine
Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor has all necessary
corporate or other power, authority and legal right to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the
Program Agreements, as applicable. This Agreement, any
Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and the Program
Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements
and any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation not yet
executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor, all
requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and
-42-
each is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller,
Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor in accordance
with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by
bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles
of equity.
(v) Financial Statements. The Limited Guarantor
has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of (a) its
consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets
of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the
Limited Guarantor ended December 31, 2005 and the related
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of
cash flows for the Limited Guarantor and its consolidated
Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case
in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with
the opinion thereon of [ACCOUNTING FIRM]. All such financial
statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the
Limited Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated
results of their operations as at such dates and for such
fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a
consistent basis. Since December 31, 2005, there has been no
material adverse change in the consolidated business,
operations or financial condition of the Limited Guarantor and
its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set
forth in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any
state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would
or could result in any such material adverse change. The
Limited Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered
pursuant to this Section (the "Statement Date") no
liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured
or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes,
long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments
not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet
and related statements, and at the present time there are no
material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans,
advances or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore
disclosed to Buyer in writing.
(vi) Event of Default. There exists no Event of
Default under Section 15(b) hereof, which default gives rise
to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section
15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other
instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for
borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or
securities.
(vii) Solvency. Each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor is solvent and will not be
rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect
to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably
small amount of capital with which to engage in its business.
None of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary nor Limited
Guarantor intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred,
debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and
is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the
-43-
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or
similar official in respect of such entity or any of its
assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller
upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes
reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the
Seller's interests in such Purchased Assets. Neither Seller
nor Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary is transferring any Purchased
Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its
creditors.
(viii) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and
performance by each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and
Limited Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction Request
or Purchase Confirmation hereunder and the Program Agreements
do not conflict with any term or provision of the certificate
of incorporation or by-laws of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor or any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having jurisdiction over Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor, which conflict would have a
Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation
of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to
which Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor
is a party.
(ix) True and Complete Disclosure. All
information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial
statements or certificates of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary, Limited Guarantor, or any Affiliate thereof or any
of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in
connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary, Limited Guarantor, or any
Affiliate or officer thereof, negotiation, preparation, or
delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete and
do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make
the statements herein or therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. All
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
(x) Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization
or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any

by Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor of
this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation
and the Program Agreements.
(xi) Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or
investigation pending with respect to which any of Seller,
Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor has received
service of process or, to the best of Seller's, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary's or Limited Guarantor's Knowledge threatened
against it before any court, administrative agency or other
tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any
Transaction, Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any
Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any
Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation or any Program
Agreement, (C) makes claims in an aggregate amount greater
-44-
than (i) with respect to the Seller or the Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary, $1,000,000, or (ii) with respect to the Limited

adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the
performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Request,
Purchase Confirmation or any Program Agreement.

material adverse change in the business, operations, financial
condition, properties (in the aggregate owned by such entity)
or prospects of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary, or Limited
Guarantor or their Affiliates since the date set forth in the
most recent financial statements supplied to Buyer.
(xiii) Ownership. Upon payment of the Purchase
Price and the filing of the financing statement and delivery
of the Asset Files to the Custodian and the Custodian's

Repurchase Assets, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances.

Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary have timely filed all tax returns
that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes,

Guarantor, as applicable, adequate.

the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary has any Indebtedness other than
Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement.
(xxiii) No Reliance. Each of Seller, Mezzanine
Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor has made its own
independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements and
each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is
-46-
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.
Neither Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary nor Limited
Guarantor is relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any

Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall
(except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to
Seller and Limited Guarantor of the exercise of such option as
promptly as practicable.
b. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option
referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller's
obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets,
at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined
in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon
become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such
exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied,
in Buyer's sole discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase
Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing
by Seller hereunder, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to
Buyer the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets subject to
such Transactions then in Seller's possession or control.
c. Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession,
and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all
Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all
documents relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without
limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the
Purchased Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the
possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain
physical possession of any Purchased Assets held by Custodian, Buyer
shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Buyer shall be entitled
to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in
this Agreement.
d. Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing
any Purchased Assets to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and
if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not
commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall
promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to
terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any
Purchased Assets with or without cause. In addition, Buyer shall
have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets and
liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased
Assets may be, at Buyer's option, on either a servicing-released or
a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any
warranties as to the Purchased Assets with respect to any such
disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any
warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets.
The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets and
liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to
adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof.
Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for
Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase Assets or
-58-
any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the
auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase
Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that
match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place
the Purchased Assets in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed
securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to
sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market.
Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased
Assets individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be
entitled, in its sole discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or
a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give the Seller credit for
such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal
to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate
unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller
hereunder.
e. Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may
apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and
Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other
Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole
discretion.
f. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all
reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation,
all reasonable costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the
enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a
Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors' rights
generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal
counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an
Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the reasonable
cost (including all reasonable fees, expenses and commissions) of
entering into replacement transactions and entering into or
terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of
an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or
expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an
Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
g. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable
to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from
the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such
amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by
the exercise of Buyer's rights hereunder. Interest on any sum
payable by Seller under this Section 16(g) shall be at a rate equal
to the Post Default Rate.
h. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights
otherwise available to it under any other agreement with Seller or
applicable law.
i. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except
to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section,
at any time thereafter during the continuation of such Event of
Default without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising
under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are
cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which
Buyer may have.
-59-
j. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior
judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any
defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its
rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other
than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise
have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and
sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase Assets, or from any
other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial
remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive
to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's
length.
k. Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence
with respect to Seller and the Purchased Assets, which review shall
be at the expense of Seller.
l. The Seller recognizes the Buyer may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets. The Seller acknowledges
and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other
terms less favorable to the Buyer than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The Buyer shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Securities for the period of time necessary to
permit the Seller to register such securities for public sale under
the 1933 Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the
Seller would agree to do so.
m. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall obligate Buyer to
segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement,
in no event shall Purchased Assets remain in the custody of Seller
or any Affiliate of Seller.
n. Upon any default of the Buyer under the provisions of this
Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to seek specific performance
and/or damages.
17. Reports
a. Notices. Seller or Limited Guarantor shall furnish to Buyer (x)

except that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall not
engage in any such repurchase transaction, pledge, hypothecation with a
Competitor. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no
such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased
Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 4 hereof, or of Buyer's obligation to
credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant
to Section 7 hereof. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with

contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.

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
-63-
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to
set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction
against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder
and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them
in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration
of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

21. 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.
22. Non assignability
The Program Agreements are not assignable by Seller or Limited
Guarantor. Buyer may from time to time assign or participate all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements;
provided, however that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Buyer shall not assign or participate this Agreement or the Program Agreements
to a Competitor without the consent of the Seller, and provided further Buyer
shall maintain as agent of Seller, for review by Seller upon written request, a
register of assignees and a copy of an executed assignment and acceptance by
Buyer and assignee ("Assignment and Acceptance"), specifying the percentage or
portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Upon such assignment, (a) such
assignee shall be a party hereto and to each Program Agreement to the extent of
the percentage or portion set forth in the Assignment and Acceptance, and shall
succeed to the applicable rights and obligations of Buyer hereunder, and (b)
Buyer shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Program
Agreements, to the extent that such rights and obligations have been so assigned
by it to a Person which assumes the obligations of Buyer, provided, that if such
Person has a net worth less than the Buyer, such release of Buyer from its
obligations hereunder and under the Program Agreement shall be subject to the
approval of Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless
otherwise stated in the Assignment and Acceptance, Seller shall continue to take
directions solely from Buyer unless otherwise notified by Buyer in writing.
Buyer may distribute to any prospective assignee any document or other
information delivered to Buyer by Seller.
23. Set-off
In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by law,
Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice
being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply
against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
-66-
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. Buyer
agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by
Buyer; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such set-off and application.
24. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction
a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder
or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to,
any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY,
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
b. SELLER, BUYER AND LIMITED GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY.
SELLER, BUYER AND LIMITED GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO
THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SELLER, BUYER AND LIMITED GUARANTOR HEREBY
SUBMIT TO, AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE
PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT
OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.
25. 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 herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give
a notice pursuant to Section 6(a)-(c), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a
waiver of any right to do so at a later date provided that the right to give
such notice then continues to exist.
26. Intent
a. The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "repurchase
agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the
United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of
-67-
Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such
Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a
"securities contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as
the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such
definition inapplicable).
b. It is understood that either party's right to liquidate Purchased
Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or
to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 16 hereof is a
contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in
Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as
amended.
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 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. 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).
e. This Agreement is intended to be a "repurchase agreement" and a
"securities contract," within the meaning of Section 555 and Section
559 under the Bankruptcy Code.
27. 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 SEC under Section 15 of the
1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken
the position that the provisions of the 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; and
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 FDIC or the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund, as applicable.
-68-
28. Power of Attorney
Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or
statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without Seller's signature thereon
as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as
Seller's agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statement or
statements in Seller's name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems
appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the
security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and
realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to
endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign
assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact. This agency
and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without
Buyer's consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby
granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event
of Default hereunder. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing
statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 28.
29. Buyer May Act Through Affiliates
Buyer may, from time to time, designate one or more affiliates
for the purpose of performing any action hereunder.
30. Indemnification; Obligations
a. Seller agrees to hold Buyer and each of its respective Affiliates
and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each,
an "Indemnified Party") harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified
Party (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same is
incurred) against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel) of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party relating to or arising
out of this Agreement, any Transaction Request, Purchase
Confirmation, any Program Agreement or any transaction contemplated
hereby or thereby resulting from anything other than the Indemnified
Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct (provided that the
Seller shall have no liability for any losses due to act or
omissions on the part of the Buyer or any counterparty pursuant to
any transaction entered into by the Buyer pursuant to Section 18 or
Section 22 hereof. Seller agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party
for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of
this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for
herein, any Transaction Request, Purchase Confirmation and any
Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel. Seller's agreements in this
-69-
Section 30 shall survive the payment in full of the Repurchase Price
and the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Seller hereby
acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations
of Seller and are not limited to recoveries each Indemnified Party
may have with respect to the Purchased Assets. Seller also agrees
not to assert any claim against Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or
any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys
and agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise
relating to the facility established hereunder, the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, this Agreement or
any of the transactions contemplated thereby. THE FOREGOING
INDEMNITY AND AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIMS EXPRESSLY APPLIES,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.
b. Without limitation to the provisions of Section 4, if any payment
of the Repurchase Price of any Transaction is made by Seller other
than on the then scheduled Repurchase Date thereto as a result of an
acceleration of the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 16 or for
any other reason, Seller shall, upon demand by Buyer, pay to Buyer
an amount sufficient to compensate Buyer for any losses, costs or
expenses described in Section 4(e) that it may reasonably incur as
of a result of such payment.
c. Without limiting the provisions of Section 30(a) hereof, if
Seller fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts
payable by it under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount
may be paid on behalf of Seller by Buyer, in its sole discretion.
31. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
32. Confidentiality
This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and
amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer and Agent and shall
be held by Seller and Limited Guarantor in strict confidence and shall not be
disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer except for (i)
disclosure to Seller's or Limited Guarantor's direct and indirect Affiliates and
Subsidiaries, investors, potential investors, attorneys or accountants, but only
to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties are directed to hold
all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule,
regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body. All information
provided previously, herein or hereafter by Seller and Limited Guarantor and/or
their agents and affiliates (such entities, the "Disclosing Parties") pursuant
to this Agreement and/or pursuant to its terms, provisions, supplements and
amendments, or notices hereunder, and/or pursuant to any negotiations or
discussions prior to entering into this Agreement or transactions hereunder or
in any way related hereto (all such information collectively, "Seller
Information"), is proprietary to Seller and Limited Guarantor and shall be held

and affiliates from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that such
source is not known by the Buyer to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with
the Disclosing Party, (v) in connection with any assignment or participation
pursuant to Section 18 hereof; provided that any potential counterparty to which
such Seller Information is provided shall sign a confidentiality agreement with
respect to such Seller Information, (vi) is or becomes generally available to

underlying obligors under the Purchased Assets or their directors, officers,
employees, agents, or affiliates (collectively, the "Prohibited Contact
Persons") without the prior written consent of Seller and Limited Guarantor,
unless such contact is due solely to a prior relationship between Buyer and such
Prohibited Contact Person or due solely to a general non-targeted solicitation
of a category of similar persons and entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the
parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any
kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact
relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the
Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may
be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not

the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the Buyer.
33. Recording of Communications
Buyer, Seller and Limited Guarantor shall have the right (but not
the obligation) from time to time to make or cause to be made tape recordings of
communications between its employees and those of the other party with respect
to Transactions. Buyer, Seller and Limited Guarantor consent to the
admissibility of such tape recordings in any court, arbitration, or other
proceedings. The parties agree that a duly authenticated transcript of such a
tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively evidencing the
parties' agreement.

34. Exit Fee
In the event that a Purchased Asset (a) is repurchased before the
Termination Date and is not directly placed in a CDO Transaction or placed into
another investment banking transaction provided by and acceptable to Buyer or an
Affiliate of Buyer, or (b) is not repurchased before the Termination Date, the
Seller shall pay to the Buyer the applicable Exit Fee on such Repurchase Date to
the account set forth in Section 9. No Exit Fee shall be payable if (a) a CDO
Default occurs or (b) Seller repurchases a Purchased Asset due to a reduction of
its Market Value by the Buyer to a level which is commercially unreasonable
(which Seller shall have the right to do upon at least two (2) Business Days
notice to the Buyer).
35. Non-Recourse
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, with the
exception of the Limited Guaranty, no recourse shall be had for the payment of
any obligation or liability hereunder or for any claim based hereon or otherwise
in respect hereof against (i) Limited Guarantor, any direct or indirect partner,

owing with respect to any obligation or liability arising under this Agreement.
It is understood that any obligation or liability under or with respect to this
Agreement may not be enforced against any Person described in clauses (i)
through (v) above; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph shall not:
(a) prevent recourse to (i) Seller, the assets of Seller or any Purchased
Assets or (ii) against Limited Guarantor or its assets to the extent of the
Limited Guarantor's obligation under the Limited Guaranty;
(b) in the event of any fraud, misappropriation or misapplication of
funds, or intentional misrepresentation, estop Buyer from instituting or
prosecuting a legal action or proceeding or otherwise making a claim against the
Person or Persons committing such fraud, misappropriating or misapplying such
funds, or making such intentional misrepresentation, or the recipient or
beneficiary of such fraud, misappropriation or misapplication, whether or not
such person, recipient or beneficiary, is any Person described in clauses (i)
through (v) above for losses relating to or arising from such actual fraud,

36. Periodic Due Diligence Review
Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing
due diligence reviews with respect to the Seller and the Purchased Assets, for
purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications and updating Market Value determinations, made hereunder, or
otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable (but no less than one (1)
Business Day's) prior notice unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, in
which case no notice is required, to Seller, Buyer or its authorized
representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine,
inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Asset Files and any and all
documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such
Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Limited
Guarantor and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a
knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering
questions respecting the Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may purchase
Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by
Seller to Buyer in the Purchased Asset Schedule and the representations,
warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, 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 purchased in a Transaction, including,
without limitation, ordering broker's price opinions, new credit reports and new
appraisals on the related Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the
information used to originate such Purchased Asset. Buyer may underwrite such
Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter
to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any
third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not
limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to
such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller
further agrees that Seller shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer's activities pursuant to this Section

Diligence Costs, but excluding costs payable pursuant to Section 16), whether or
not such Transaction is consummated, shall not exceed $7,500.

CSS's gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties as agent
hereunder. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees to proceed solely against the other
to collect or recover any securities or money owing to it or to enforce any of
its rights in connection with or as a result of Transactions hereunder.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that the Agreement shall not
govern any repurchase transaction between (i) CSS, acting in its individual
capacity, and Seller or (ii) Seller and any entity other than Buyer, regardless

SCHEDULE 1
Schedule 1(a)
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING OF COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS
Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each
Purchased Asset which is a Commercial Mortgage Loan, that except as specifically
disclosed in writing to and approved by Buyer in accordance with the Agreement,
as of the Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and
as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Program
Agreements or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the
representations set forth on this Schedule 1(a) shall be true and correct in all
material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(a) and the representations
and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall
be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a
Commercial Mortgage Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken
action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such
breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset.
1. The Commercial Mortgage Loan is a performing mortgage loan secured by a first
priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property.
2. Such Commercial Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with, or is
exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such
Commercial Mortgage Loan.
3. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof,
Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of,
such Commercial Mortgage Loan, and Seller is transferring such Commercial
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances,
charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature
encumbering such Commercial Mortgage Loan (other than any security interest
created in favor of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement). Upon consummation of the
purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan on
the Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to
Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Commercial Mortgage Loan
free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (other than
any security interest created in favor of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement).
4. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its
acquisition or origination of such Commercial Mortgage Loan nor were any
fraudulent acts committed by any Person in connection with the origination of
such Commercial Mortgage Loan.
5. All information contained in the related Complete Submission (or as otherwise
provided to Buyer) in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan is accurate and
complete in all material respects.
6. Except as included in the Complete Submission, Seller is not a party to any
document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, that by its terms
modifies or affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Commercial
Mortgage Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to
any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such
change or waiver exists.
Schedule 1(a)-1
7. Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof
have been fully and properly disbursed and, except for amounts held in escrow by
Servicer, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.
8. Seller has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Commercial
Mortgage Loan and such Commercial Mortgage Loan or any related Mortgage Note has
not been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or part nor has any
instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or
rescission thereof.
9. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or
those already granted in the related Mortgage and/or Mortgage Note, no consent
or approval by any Person is required in connection (i) with Seller's sale
and/or Buyer's acquisition of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, (ii) for Buyer's
exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan
or (iii) for Buyer's sale, pledge or other disposition of such Commercial
Mortgage Loan, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), customary
intercreditor restrictions limiting assignees to "qualified transferees". No
third party holds any "right of first refusal", "right of first negotiation",
"right of first offer", purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind,
and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or
remedies.
10. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing
with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder
of such Commercial Mortgage Loan.
11. 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 Commercial
Mortgage Loan is or may become obligated.
12. Seller has not advanced funds, or knowingly received any advance of funds
from a party other than the mortgagee relating to such Commercial Mortgage Loan,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such
Commercial Mortgage Loan.
13. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a document
separate from the Mortgage) and other agreement executed by the related
Mortgagor in connection with such Commercial Mortgage Loan is legal, valid and
binding obligation of the related Mortgagor (subject to any non-recourse
provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit
deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i)
that certain provisions contained in such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents are
or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal
laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the
inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Commercial Mortgage Loan
documents invalid as a whole and such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents taken
Schedule 1(a)-2
as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the
practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby and (ii) as
such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage contain
no provision limiting the right or ability of Seller to assign, transfer and
convey the related Commercial Mortgage Loan to any other Person, except,
however, for customary intercreditor restrictions limiting assignees to
"qualified transferees". With respect to any Underlying Mortgaged Property that
has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate
document, an assignment of leases.
14. There is no offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission
with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed
in connection therewith.
15. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original Mortgage Note(s)
made in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, together with an original
endorsement thereof executed by [Seller] in blank and the related Asset File.
16. Each related Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases
from [Seller] in blank constitutes the legal, valid and binding first priority
assignment from [Seller] (assuming the insertion of the Buyer's name), except as
such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, or by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law). Each Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is
freely assignable.
17. The Commercial Mortgage Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each
such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13)
above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a "Title
Exception", and collectively, the "Title Exceptions"): (a) the lien of current
real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and
payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements
and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the
aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the
Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such
Mortgage or with the Mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations under the
Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely
affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions
(general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy
described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the
current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be
provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations
under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and
adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (d) other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the
current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be
provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations
under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and
Schedule 1(a)-3
adversely affects the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (e) the right
of tenants (whether under ground leases, space leases or operating leases) at
the Underlying Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar
proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f)
if such Commercial Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any other
Commercial Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Commercial
Mortgage Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and
adversely interferes with the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property
or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor's
ability to pay its obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they
become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Underlying
Mortgaged Property. Except with respect to cross-collateralized and
cross-defaulted Commercial Mortgage Loans and as provided below, there are no
mortgage loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related
Underlying Mortgaged Property or such Commercial Mortgage Loan.
18. UCC Financing Statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed
and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording),
in all public places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items
of personal property located on the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are owned
by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the
Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal
obtained in connection with the origination of the related Commercial Mortgage
Loan) material to the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any
personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and
leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Commercial
Mortgage Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal
property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law
by recording or filing, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel
Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with
the related Commercial Mortgage Loan establish and create a valid and
enforceable lien and priority security interest on such items of personalty
except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally, or by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
19. All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof,
which would be a lien on the Underlying Mortgaged Property and that have become
delinquent in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an
escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been
established. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes
and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered
delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties
would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is
entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.
20. The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material
damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at
origination) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such
Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the Commercial Mortgage Loan and
there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property.
21. The lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original
principal amount of such Commercial Mortgage Loan after all advances of
principal is insured by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or a binding
commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable
Schedule 1(a)-4
jurisdiction, insuring the original mortgagee, its successors and assigns,
subject only to the Title Exceptions; the mortgagee or its successors or assigns
is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without
consent of the insurer and will inure to the benefit of the mortgagee of record;
such title policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been
paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists
which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. The insurer issuing
such policy is (x) a nationally recognized title insurance company and (y)
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such policy contains no
material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Underlying
Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not
available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to
encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.
22. As of the date of its origination, all insurance coverage required under
each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were customarily
acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions
lending on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Underlying Mortgaged
Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils insurance
policy, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to
the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such
Underlying Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
Commercial Mortgage Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent
operation of any co-insurance provisions; and is also covered by business
interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to 12 months
of operations of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, all of which was in
full force and effect with respect to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property;
and all insurance coverage required under each Mortgage, which insurance covers
such risks and is in such amounts as are customarily acceptable to prudent
commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security
of property comparable to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property in the
jurisdiction in which such Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, is in full
force and effect with respect to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property; all
premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or
cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by
Seller; and except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be
considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage
lender with respect to a similar Commercial Mortgage Loan and which are set
forth in the related Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty
loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of
the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the reduction of the
outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, subject in either
case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Underlying Mortgaged
Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent
institutional lenders for similar loans. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is
also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for
personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about
the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by
prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has
Schedule 1(a)-5
performed an analysis of the Underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic
zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such
property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss ("PML")
for the Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such
instance, the PML was based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of
exceedance in a 50 year period. If the resulting report concluded that the PML
would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements,
earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an
insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or "BBB-" (or the equivalent)
from S&P and Fitch or "Baa3" (or the equivalent) from Moody's. If the Underlying
Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South
Carolina such Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in
an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance
of such Commercial Mortgage Loan and (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or
100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related
Underlying Mortgaged Property.
The insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
Seller, its successors and assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property
insurance policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance
policy and provide that they are not terminable without 30 days prior written
notice to the mortgagee (or, with respect to non-payment, 10 days prior written
notice to the mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by applicable law.
Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor maintain insurance as described above
or permits the mortgagee to require insurance as described above, and permits
the mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor's expense if Mortgagor
fails to do so.
23. (a) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is
no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under
the related Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note, and no event has occurred
(other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time
or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and (b) Seller
has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
under such Mortgage or Mortgage Note and pursuant to the terms of the related
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and other documents in the related
Mortgage Loan documents no Person or party other than the holder of such
Mortgage Note may declare any event of default or accelerate the related
indebtedness under either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
24. Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is not, since origination, and has not been,
30 days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment or part thereof.
25. Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without the prior
written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as
expressly described in such Mortgage.
26. Such Commercial Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage" within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on
a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and either (1)
substantially all of the proceeds of such Commercial Mortgage Loan were used to
acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily
residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the

after the date of its origination and at a time when such Commercial Mortgage
Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Commercial Mortgage
Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon
which the latest such "significant modification" occurred.

28. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, together with applicable
state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable
mortgaged properties similarly situated such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against
the Underlying Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including
realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to
the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium,

defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the
Commercial Mortgage Loans (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms,

45. The related Mortgagor, the related lessee, franchisor or operator is in
possession of all material licenses, permits and authorizations then required

connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes
resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an
endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the Title Policy
referred to herein.
60. No Commercial Mortgage Loan is secured by a Care Facility or an Industrial
Property.
61. Each Commercial Loan has a Loan-to-Value Ratio of 80% or less.

Ground Lease, Seller represents and warrants the following with respect to the
related Ground Lease:
(ii) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded
no later than 30 days after the origination date and such Ground Lease permits
the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage
or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior
to the origination date.
(iii) Upon the foreclosure of the Commercial Mortgage Loan (or acceptance of a
deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor's interest in such Ground Lease is
assignable to the mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without
the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if any such consent is required, it
has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date).
Schedule 1(a)-12
(iv) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated
without the prior written consent of the mortgagee and any such action without
such consent is not binding on the mortgagee, its successors or assigns, except
termination or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground
Lease, (ii) notice thereof is provided to the mortgagee and (iii) such default
is curable by the mortgagee as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured

(v) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default

or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a material default under such Ground Lease.

requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the
mortgagee. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides that no
notice given is effective against the mortgagee unless a copy has been given to
the mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary agreement.
(vii) The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior
to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the Title
Exceptions or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor's fee interest in the Underlying
Mortgaged Property is subject.
(viii) A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where
necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee
under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease
before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.
(ix) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension
options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can
be exercised by the mortgagee if the mortgagee acquires the lessee's rights
under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated
maturity date of the Mortgage.
(x) Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter
received by the mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than in
respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either
to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to
hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the
payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial
Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a
different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any
commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the
Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the
related Underlying Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of
such Commercial Mortgage Loan).
Schedule 1(a)-13
(xi) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would
be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.
(xii) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new
lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the
rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50 year
period. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the
amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on

materialmens liens that become payable after such Purchase Date).
42. Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete
separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate
tax lots and a Person has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in
connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes

_________, ____
Column Financial Inc.
Eleven Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10010
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to 111 Debt Acquisition LLC ("Seller"), 111 Debt
Acquisition Mezz LLC ("Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary") and Newkirk Realty Trust,
Inc. ("Limited Guarantor") in connection with the sale and repurchase by Seller
of certain assets (the "Eligible Assets") purchased from time to time (each such
date, a "Purchase Date") by Column Financial Inc. ("Buyer") pursuant to a Master
Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2006, among Seller, Mezzanine Loan

have the meanings set forth in the Master Repurchase Agreement.
We have acted as counsel to Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and Limited

f. Good standing certificates, as of a recent date, for Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor from each of the States listed on Schedule 1

g. The certificates, letters and opinions required to be furnished by Seller,

execution of the Program Agreements, and the additional certificates, letter and

For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons and the conformity to the
originals of all documents.
Based solely upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. Seller is a limited liability company, duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate
power and authority to own its properties and transact the business in which it
is engaged. Seller is duly qualified as a foreign [[ ]] to transact

mortgaged property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable law from
such qualification. The principal place of business of Seller is located at

transact business in, and is in good standing under, the laws of each state in
which a mortgaged property is located or is otherwise exempt under applicable
law from such qualification. The principal place of business of Limited

4. Each of the Seller and the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary has the power to engage
in the transactions contemplated by the Program Agreements, and has all
requisite power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Program
Agreements, to transfer and deliver the Repurchase Assets and to perform and
observe the terms and conditions of the Program Agreements. Limited Guarantor
has the power, authority and legal right to issue and deliver the Limited
Guaranty and to perform and observe the terms and conditions thereof.
F-2
5. The Program Agreements have been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered by each of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor, as
applicable, and are valid, legal and binding agreements, enforceable against
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary and Limited Guarantor in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, none of which will materially
interfere with the realization of the benefits provided thereunder or with
Buyer's ownership of the Purchased Assets.
6. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or notice, filing or
registration with, any court or governmental agency or body is required for the
execution, delivery and performance by any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary
or Limited Guarantor of, or compliance by such entity with, the Program
Agreements, or the transfer of the Repurchase Assets or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Program Agreements.
7. Neither the transfer or delivery of the Purchased Assets, nor the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in the Program
Agreements, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Program Agreements will
result in a breach of or constitutes or will constitute a default under (a) the
charter or by-laws of any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited
Guarantor, or the terms of any material indenture or other agreement or
instrument to which any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited
Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, (b) any
contractual or legal restriction contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, agreement, instrument or other similar document to which Seller or
Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is
subject, or (c) any statute or order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or
decree of any court, governmental authority or regulatory body to which any of
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor or any of its properties
is subject or by which it is bound.
8. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the
best of our knowledge, threatened against any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor that, in our judgment, either in any one
instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the
business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of any of
Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor or in any material
impairment of the right or ability of any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary
or Limited Guarantor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted or
in any material liability on the part of any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary or Limited Guarantor that would draw into question the validity of
the Program Agreements, or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with
the transactions contemplated thereby, or that would be likely to impair
materially the ability of any of Seller, Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary or Limited
Guarantor to perform under the terms of, the Program Agreements.
9. The conveyance of each Purchased Asset as and in the manner contemplated by
the Program Agreements is sufficient fully to transfer to Buyer all right, title
and interest of either of Seller or Limited Guarantor thereto as owner,
noteholder and mortgagee, or in the alternative, a security interest therein.
F-3
10. The Repurchase Agreement is effective to create, in favor of the Buyer, a
valid "security interest" as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the Uniform
Commercial Code in all of (a) the right, title and interest of the Seller in, to
and under the Repurchase Assets, and (b) the right, title and interest of the
Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary in, to and under the Mezzanine Loans except that (i)
such security interests will continue in Repurchase Assets after its sale,
exchange or other disposition only to the extent provided in Section 9-315 of
the Uniform Commercial Code, (ii) the security interests in Repurchase Assets in
which the Seller acquires rights or the security interests in Mezzanine Loans in
which the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary acquires rights after the commencement of a
case under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Seller or the Mezzanine Loan
Subsidiary, as applicable, may be limited by Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code.
11. When the Mortgage Notes are delivered to the Custodian, endorsed in blank by
a duly authorized officer of Seller or the Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary, as
applicable, the security interest referred to in Section 9 above in the Mortgage
Notes will constitute a fully perfected first-priority security interest in all
right, title and interest of Seller or Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary, as applicable,
therein.
11. (a) Upon the filing of Financing Statements with the Filing Office, the
security interests referred to in Section 9 above will constitute a fully
perfected security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in (a) all
right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Repurchase
Assets, and (b) all right, title and interest of Mezzanine Loan Subsidiary
in, to and under the Mezzanine Loans, to the extent that a security
interest therein can be perfected by filing under the Uniform Commercial
Code.
(b) The UCC Search Report sets forth the proper filing offices and the
proper debtors necessary to identify those Persons who have on file in the
jurisdictions listed on Schedule 1 financing statements covering the
Repurchase Assets as of the dates and times specified on Schedule 2. The
UCC Search Report identifies no Person who has filed in any Filing Office
a financing statement describing the Repurchase Assets prior to the
effective dates of the UCC Search Report.
12. Seller is not an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
13. The provisions of the Control Account Agreement are effective to cause the
security interest of the Buyer in the Securities Account to be a fully perfected
first-priority security interest therein.
