Subsequent Transfers (a) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below and pursuant to the terms of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, in consideration of the Trustee’s delivery, on behalf of the Trust, on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the purchase price therefor, the Seller shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Depositor and the Depositor shall sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey without recourse to the Trust, all right, title and interest of the Seller and Depositor, as applicable, in and to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer Agreement, including (i) the related Principal Balance as of the related Cut-Off Date after giving effect to payments of principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date; (ii) all collections in respect of interest and principal received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than principal and interest due on or before such Cut-off Date); (iii) property which secured such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loan; and (v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this Section 2.13 from the Seller to the Depositor and by the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, both the Seller and the Depositor intend that the rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Depositor and the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as of such Subsequent Transfer Date a first priority security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the Seller and of the Depositor in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all other property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.13 and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

References in such Sections to the Initial Mortgage Loans or Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to refer to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and references to the Cut-Off Date or the Closing Date, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the applicable related Cut-Off Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, respectively, except that references to 360 days after the Closing Date shall remain unchanged as shall representations made with specific reference to the Initial Mortgage Loans.
Transfer of the Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be restricted in the same manner and to the same extent as the Warrant, and the certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall bear substantially the following legend, until such Warrant Shares have been registered under the Act or may be removed as otherwise permitted under the Act: "THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (ii) IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER."
Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend: THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
Registration of Warrant Shares (a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such proposed registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 18(d) hereof, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8(c), endeavor to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Warrant Shares that each such Holder has requested to be registered.
(b) Whenever required under this Section 8(a) to effect the registration of any Warrant Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible use reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement (the "Registration Statement"), registering for resale the Warrant Shares and (ii) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The Company promptly shall provide each Holder with such copies of the final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement after it becomes effective as they shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company shall (a) use reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective for a period ending on the earlier of (x) 120 days from its effective date or (y) when all such Warrant Shares can be sold without limitation or delay under Rule 144 and (b) file all reports and forms required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Reports") on a timely basis so long as each Holder owns any Warrant Shares and shall provide each Holder copies thereof when filed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of the Registration Statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it in accordance with subparagraph (b) or, in the event the Registration Statement has been declared effective, without suspending such effectiveness, instruct the Holder promptly in writing (or any subsequent holders thereof) not to sell or distribute any Warrant Shares (a "Delay") as long as the reason for non-disclosure continues, if the Company would be required to disclose in the Registration Statement the existence of any fact relating to a material business situation, transaction or negotiation, or would be required to disclose information that the Company has not otherwise made public, in each case, that the Company reasonably determines is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose at such time, and unless and until each Holder furnishes to the Company in writing information that may be required to prepare the disclosure required by Items 507 and 508 of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Act, with respect to such Holder's Warrant Shares being sold under the Registration Statement provided that, with respect to Delays because of information related to the Company (rather than disclosure required to be provided by the holders), the Company shall only be entitled to a maximum of three (3) Delays, each Delay not to exceed a period of thirty (30) days; and further provided, that no period of Delay shall commence within 60 days of a previous Delay.
(d) Each Holder shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and execute and deliver any agreements or instruments reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel in connection therewith and (ii) upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Registration Statement (or any prospectus included therein), as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made (as determined by the Company or its counsel in its sole discretion), forthwith discontinue its disposition of Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, until such time as such Holder (or any holders) have received a supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company relating thereto. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to prepare any necessary amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the same becomes necessary and to provide to each Holder quantities of such amendments or supplements reasonably sufficient for the distribution thereof.
(e) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its respective officers, directors, employees, members, agents, affiliates and control persons (each of the foregoing, a "Holder Indemnitee") who is or may be a party or is or may be threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of or arising from any actual or alleged misrepresentation or misstatement of facts or omission to represent or state any fact or omission to state a fact necessary to make the facts stated under the circumstances not materially misleading, in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to the prospectus incorporated therein from and against any claim, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) ("Loss") actually and reasonably incurred by any such Holder Indemnitee in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding or the defense thereof, except to the extent such Loss is the direct result of a misstatement or omission for which such Holder Indemnitee is liable to the Company under Section 9(i); provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 8(e) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder Indemnitee on account of any such Loss arising from the sale of the Warrant Shares by such Holder Indemnitee to any person if a copy of the definitive prospectus shall not have been delivered or sent to such person within the time required by the Act and the regulations thereunder, and an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the definitive prospectus.
(f) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 8(a) to include any of the Holders’ Warrant Shares in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Warrant Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Warrant Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders).
Transfer Restricted Securities The securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement are the Transfer Restricted Securities.
Warrants Transferable Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant before registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees to give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with a written opinion of such holder’s counsel, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law. Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion or other evidence, if so requested, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel for the holder or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares transferred in accordance with this Section 11 shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the aforesaid opinion of counsel for the holder, such legend is not required. In order to ensure compliance with such laws, the Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
