defense. The Bank Loan is secured by a valid and enforceable lien on or security interest (with the
priority disclosed on the Bank Loan Schedule) in the Loan Collateral for such Bank Loan having the
priority indicated on the Bank Loan Schedule. The Loan Documents related to the Bank Loans, taken
together as a whole, contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practicable realization against the Loan Collateral
related to the Bank Loans of the benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, except
as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) No Modification or Waiver. Except as evidenced in the Asset File by written

satisfied, canceled or subordinated the Bank Loans or any Loan Documents or Loan Collateral related
to the Bank Loans in any material respect.
(e) Litigation. To Aurora’s Knowledge, there is no litigation outstanding, pending or
threatened relating to the Bank Loans.

environmental assessments prepared by third party vendors, appraisals prepared by third party
vendors, or unprivileged pending litigation materials. To Aurora’s Knowledge, no material documents
have been excluded from the Asset Files related to the Bank Loans.
(j) Financing Statements. As to any Bank Loan for which the Primary Loan Collateral or
material security for the Bank Loan is a UCC security interest in personal property, the UCC

necessary to avoid lapse or expiration of perfection and/or loss of priority.

material security for the Bank Loan is a Mortgage, an ALTA (or equivalent) policy of mortgagee

proceeds of the sale of the portion of the Mortgaged Property released or such other consideration
as was contemplated under the applicable Loan Documents or usual and customary servicing practices

owing under the Bank Loan and any proceeds from such partial release were applied to reduce the

warranties of the Parties contained in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 of this Agreement shall
survive Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of five (5) years thereafter.
The representations and warranties in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 shall survive Closing and
continue in full force and effect for a period of one (1) year thereafter.
7.02 Scope of Investigation and Other Due Diligence. The Parties agree that the
representations and warranties in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 are made for the purpose of
establishing a remedy for the Transferee in the event that matters mutually assumed by the Parties
are not as assumed by them. The Parties understand that if any of the representations or warranties
in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 are breached, the Transferee’s rights and remedies are limited to
those expressly set forth in Section 7.03. In no event shall a breach of a representation or
warranty in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 be used as evidence of, or deemed to constitute bad faith,
misconduct or fraud even in the event that it is shown that the Transferor or any Affiliates
thereof, or any of its or their respective directors, employees, officers, lawyers, accountants or
agents, knew or should have known of the existence of information which was inconsistent with any
of the representations and warranties provided in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02, as applicable.
(a) Notice of a Breach. In the event of a Material breach by Aurora of a
representation or warranty contained in Section 4.01 with respect to the Bank Loans or by CCPC of a
representation or warranty contained in Section 4.02 with respect to the REIT Loans, Aurora in the
case of a representation or warranty contained in Section 4.02 and CCPC in the case of
representation or warranty contained in Section 4.01 shall have the right to give the Transferor a
Certificate of Defect no later than 30 days following the determination by the Transferee of the
breach thereof. If a Certificate of Defect is delivered by the Transferee in a timely fashion but
is considered by the Transferor to be deficient in any respect, so long as it substantially
complies with the requirements of this Agreement, the Transferee shall be afforded a reasonable
period of time by the Transferor, not to exceed 30 days after notice from the Transferor specifying
such deficiencies in reasonable detail, in order to supplement such Certificate and cure any
deficiencies; and such Certificate, but only so long as it substantially complies as aforesaid,
shall be deemed sufficient to avoid termination and extinguishment of the Transferee’s rights
hereunder. Each of the Transferors agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any lapses
of or missing assignments, transfer documents or the like in the chain of title to the Note or in
the Collateral Security therefor related to a Loan transferred by such Transferor at the Closing by
obtaining from prior transferors any such missing assignments and/or transfer documents. If the
Transferee delivers a Certificate of Defect which is part of an Asset Group, then, unless the
Transferee elects otherwise in such Certificate of Defect, the Certificate of Defect shall be
deemed to cover all Assets in such Asset Group.
(b) Transferor’s Response. By no later than 45 days following its receipt of a
Certificate of Defect, the Transferor shall notify the Transferee in writing that the Transferor:
(i) disputes that the alleged defect or breach exists, (ii) intends to attempt to cure such defect
or breach within the Cure Period or (iii) will repurchase the allegedly Defective Assets, or if and
as
-19-
the Parties mutually agree, will remit to the Transferee a payment with respect to such
allegedly Defective Asset in an amount reflecting the diminution in value of the Defective Asset,
and the date on which such payment shall occur, which in no event shall be later than 10 days after
the Transferor’s response, If the Transferor has given the Transferee notification of the
Transferor’s intention to attempt to cure, and if before the end of the Cure Period, the Transferor
has failed to cure the defect or breach, then the Transferor shall repurchase the Defective Assets
within 10 days following the end of such Cure Period. If the Transferor fails to provide such
notice within forty five (45) days following its receipt of a Certificate of Defect, the Transferee
shall provide a second copy of such Certificate of Defect to the Transferor, and if the Transferor
fails to provide the notice required under this Section within ten (10) days following its receipt
of such second copy of the Certificate of Defect it shall be deemed to have agreed to repurchase
the Defective Asset and shall repurchase the Defective Assets within fifteen (15) days following
its receipt of the second copy of the Certificate of Defect.
(c) Repurchase. If the Transferor becomes obligated by this Agreement to repurchase
any Defective Assets from the Transferee, then (i) closing of such repurchase shall occur within 10
days after the Transferor’s repurchase obligation is determined, (ii) at such closing the
Transferor shall pay the Transferee by wire transfer to an account designated by the Transferee,
the Asset Repurchase Price, and (iii) the Transferee shall convey the Defective Assets to
Transferor, pursuant to documents substantially the same as the applicable Closing Documents
originally delivered to the Transferee by the Transferor, and shall make deliveries and take all
other appropriate action on the same terms and conditions under which the Transferor had conveyed
such Defective Assets to the Transferee. Such conveyance(s) by the Transferee shall be without
recourse, representation, or warranty (express or implied) of any kind except as follows: (1) the
Transferee is the owner of the affected Assets and has the authority to transfer such Assets free
and clear of any liens to the Transferor; (2) the terms of such Assets have not been modified by
any written or oral agreement between the Transferee and any Obligor; (3) the Transferee has not
obtained full payment on such Assets from any Obligor, guarantor or surety, or otherwise accepted
partial payment thereof in full satisfaction of the debt evidenced thereby; (4) the Transferee has
not released any collateral other than for adequate payment to the Transferee and has not released
any Obligor, guarantor, surety or other person liable for payment of such Assets, (5) the
Transferee has not subordinated or released any security interests or liens in any collateral that
secures such Assets, and (6) the Transferee has not allowed any liens or security interests that
secure such Assets to lapse or become unperfected.
(d) Materiality or Defect Thresholds. The requirements that a breach be “Material” for
application of the remedies set forth in Section 7 shall not limit (or reduce or be a credit
against) the responsibility of the Transferor to, at its option, effect a full cure of the breach
or to repurchase the Loan under this Section 7 after the defect has been determined to meet such
threshold.
7.04 Call Provisions. CCPC acknowledges that certain of the Bank Loans transferred to
CCPC pursuant to this Agreement are subject to a call provision in favor of the current servicer
for such Bank Loans (the “Call Provisions”). CCPC further acknowledges that the Call Provisions
provide the servicer with the right to require the owner to sell these Bank Loans to the servicer
and that such Bank Loans will be transferred to CCPC subject to the Call Provisions. In the event
that the Call Provisions with respect to one or more of the Bank Loans are exercised, Aurora and
-20-
CCPC will work together in good faith to make arrangements for the transfer by Aurora of
replacement loans that are acceptable to CCPC, in its sole discretion, at fair value at the time of
the exercise of the Call Provisions (the “Replacement Loans”) Aurora will make the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement with respect to the Replacement Loans
and execute such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by CCPC with respect to the
transfer of the Replacement Loans. Promptly upon the consummation of the transfer of the
Replacement Loans to CCPC, CCPC shall pay to Aurora the aggregate consideration received by CCPC
from the servicer with respect to the exercise of the Call Provisions.

and hold CCPC harmless for the following: (i) the breach by Aurora of any of the covenants of this
Agreement to be performed by Aurora; (ii) any and all liabilities arising out of the tortious or
unlawful acts or omissions of Aurora in regard to any Bank Loan prior to the Closing Date,
including but not limited to any “lender liability” or similar claims asserted against CCPC to the
extent such claims arose out of actions or omissions of Aurora, or other events, that occurred
prior to the Closing Date; or (iii) any amount owed to attorneys or other persons for services
provided to Aurora or Aurora’s predecessor in interest with respect to any Bank Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnification provision does not apply to a breach of
warranty by Aurora under Section 3.01 or Section 4.01 of this Agreement, regardless of whether
Aurora had Knowledge of a matter which was the subject of the warranty.
7.06 Indemnification Provision for Benefit of Aurora. CCPC shall indemnify, defend and
hold Aurora harmless for the following: (i) the breach by CCPC of any of the covenants of this
Agreement to be performed by CCPC; (ii) any and all liabilities arising out of the tortious or
unlawful acts or omissions of CCPC in regard to any REIT Loan prior to the Closing Date, including
but not limited to any “lender liability” or similar claims asserted against Aurora to the extent
such claims arose out of actions or omissions of CCPC, or other events, that occurred prior to the
Closing Date; or (iii) any amount owed to attorneys or other persons for services provided to CCPC
or CCPC’s predecessor in interest with respect to any REIT Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this indemnification provision does not apply to a breach of warranty by CCPC under Section 3.02 or
Section 4.02 of this Agreement, regardless of whether CCPC had Knowledge of a matter which was the
subject of the warranty.

of the provisions of this Agreement. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation.
The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have
independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant
contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or
covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity)
which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in
breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
9.14 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in
this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
9.15 Limited Purpose of Exchange Purchase Prices. Aurora and CCPC acknowledge that,
although an Exchange Purchase Price for the Assets may be used for certain limited purposes under
this Agreement, such amounts do not represent any allocation of value to the Assets for tax and
accounting purposes. Aurora and CCPC further acknowledge that neither the Exchange Purchase Price
for the Assets nor the Loan balances represent the fair market value of the Assets or the
underlying collateral or mortgage property. Aurora and CCPC expressly reserve the right to allocate
the values for the Assets for Federal and state income tax purposes and their own internal
accounting purposes as they reasonably determine and in a manner different from the Exchange
Purchase Price.
9.16 Confidentiality. All information disclosed or furnished by one party to another,
whether orally or in writing, in connection with this Agreement and the Transferee’s due diligence
examination of Transferor’s files shall be deemed to be proprietary and confidential information of
the disclosing party. The receiving party agrees not to disclose such information to any third
party other than its representatives or employees, legal counsel, accountants, advisors, or, as
necessary, to applicable regulatory agencies, or as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement or the
Exhibits and Schedules hereto. Regardless of whether closing occurs hereunder, each party agrees
that it shall not use the proprietary or confidential information of the other party for the
purpose of soliciting customers of the other party.
