Seller may, from time to time, submit to Buyer a Transaction Request, in the form of Exhibit VIII attached hereto, for Buyer’s review and approval in order to enter into a Transaction with respect to any Eligible Loan that Seller proposes to be included as Collateral under this Agreement. Upon Buyer’s receipt of a complete Due Diligence Package, Buyer shall have the right to request, in Buyer’s good faith business judgment and in a manner consistent with Buyer’s other master repurchase facilities for comparable assets, additional diligence materials and deliveries with respect to the applicable Eligible Loan, to the extent necessary for Buyer’s underwriting of such Eligible Loan. Upon Buyer’s receipt of the Transaction Request, Due Diligence Package and additional diligence materials, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to within five (5) Business Days and following receipt of internal credit approval, either (i) notify Seller of the Purchase Price and the Market Value for the Eligible Loan or (ii) deny Seller’s request for a Transaction.

With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each subsequent Pricing Rate Determination Date for the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on such subsequent Pricing Rate Determination Date. For purposes of this Section 3(b), the “Transaction Conditions Precedent” shall be deemed to have been satisfied with respect to any proposed Transaction if:

(A)

no monetary or material non-monetary Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction;

(B)

subject to any exceptions reasonably approved by Buyer, the representations and warranties made by Seller in any of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction, before and after giving effect to such Transaction, as though made on such Purchase Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date);

(F)

Buyer shall have determined that no event has occurred which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

(G)

as of the applicable Purchase Date, each of the Concentration Limits is satisfied (unless waived by Buyer).

(c) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby unless specific objection is made in writing no less than three (3) Business Days after the date thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, the Confirmation shall prevail. An objection sent by Seller with respect to any Confirmation must state specifically that the writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such Confirmation being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes such provisions should be stated, and must be sent by Seller no more than five (5) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by Seller.

(d) No Transaction shall be terminable on demand by Buyer (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).

(i)

Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Loan no later than three (3) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date,

(iii)

on such Early Repurchase Date, following the payment of the amounts set forth in subclause (ii) above, no unpaid Margin Deficit exists, and

(iv)

no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such Early Repurchase Date.

Such notice shall set forth the Early Repurchase Date and shall identify with particularity the Purchased Loans to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date.

(e) On the Repurchase Date or any Early Repurchase Date (including, without limitation, in order to cure a Margin Deficit), termination of the applicable Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the applicable Purchased Loan and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer to an account of Buyer of the Repurchase Price, the amount, if any, payable by Seller in the event any Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased Loan is being terminated as of such date and any other amounts payable under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction.

(f) On any Remittance Date before the Repurchase Date (or any Business Day before the Repurchase Date upon two (2) Business Days prior notice to Buyer, with respect to a reduction in outstanding Purchase Price of greater than $2,000,000), Seller shall have the right, from time to time, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of, but not terminating, a Transaction and without the release of any Collateral or the payment of any Exit Fee or other prepayment fee or penalty; provided, that any such reduction in outstanding Purchase Price occurring on a date other than a Remittance Date shall be required to be accompanied by payment of all unpaid accrued Price Differential on the amount of such reduction. Upon any reduction in outstanding Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 3(f), either Seller or Buyer can request an amended and restated Confirmation which shall reflect the decrease in the outstanding Purchase Price (it being acknowledged that the failure by any party to request or deliver such amended and restated Confirmation shall not be a Default).

(g) If prior to any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, Buyer shall have determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall give prompt written notice thereof to Seller. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer shall be a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 100 basis points (1.00%) (the “Alternative Rate”).

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

(i) Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity or other consequential costs, loss or damages) (including, without limitation, reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which Buyer sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) hereof of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date or the Repurchase Date (including, without limitation, any such actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from customary and reasonable fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) or (iii) a default by Seller in selling Eligible Loans after Seller has delivered to Buyer an executed Confirmation in connection with a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement as evidenced by a countersigned Confirmation executed by Buyer and delivered to Seller. A certificate as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller.

(j) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)

shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Loan or any Transaction, or

change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for (i) Indemnified Taxes (with Other Taxes applying for this purpose without the proviso in the definition thereof), (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (g) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes); or

(ii)

shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce in a material manner any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, and provided Buyer imposes such additional costs generally on all of its similarly situated customers, Seller shall pay to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(j), it shall notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller.

(k) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, and provided Buyer imposes such additional costs generally on all of its similarly situated customers, Seller shall pay to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller.

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in the Fee Agreement to the contrary, (x) if any Transaction is converted to an Alternative Rate Transaction, then Seller may consummate an early repurchase of the related Purchased Loan at any time while the Alternative Rate is in effect without payment of the Exit Fee, (y) if Buyer notifies Seller of its entitlement to additional amounts pursuant to Section 3(j) or 3(k), then provided Seller pays such additional amounts pursuant to Section 3(j) or 3(k), Seller may consummate an early repurchase of all of the Purchased Loans and terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without

payment of the Exit Fee and (z) no Exit Fee shall be due and payable in connection with any reduction in outstanding Purchase Price or consummation of an early repurchase of a Purchased Loan in accordance with Section 4(a).

4.	MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) If, at any time, the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans shall be less than the sum of the Margin Amounts calculated individually with respect to each Purchased Loan (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller in writing (including therein a description of the Market Value calculation for each Purchased Loan) require Seller to cure such Margin Deficit by either:

(i)

transferring to Buyer additional cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the sum of the amounts, calculated individually for each Purchased Loan, equal to the product of (x) the difference between the Margin Amount with respect to such Purchased Loan and the Market Value of such Purchased Loan multiplied by (y) the applicable Purchase Price Percentage, which cash collateral shall be held by Buyer as additional Collateral with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan(s),

(ii)

reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Loan, as applicable, such that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Loans is at least equal to or is greater than the sum of the Margin Amounts of the Purchased Loans, or

(iii)

doing an early repurchase on an Early Repurchase Date of any of the Purchased Loans pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement and paying the related Repurchase Price which early repurchase results in a cure of such Margin Deficit.

Any cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4(a) of this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Loan shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price for each Purchased Loan on a dollar-for-dollar basis for which there was a Margin Deficit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, a Margin Deficit shall not exist or be deemed to exist with respect to any Purchased Loan at any time the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Loan is less than 60% of the related Market Value.

(b) If any notice is given by Buyer under Section 4(a) of this Agreement on any Business Day (such notice, a “Margin Deficit Notice”) and Seller elects to transfer cash pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or (ii), Seller shall transfer cash in the full amount required in Section 4(a)(i) or (ii), if the Margin Deficit Notice is given before 1:00 p.m. EST, by no later than the close of business on the Business Day following the Business Day on which such Margin Deficit Notice is given, and if the Margin Deficit Notice is given on or after 1:00 p.m. EST, by no later than the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Business Day on which such Margin Deficit Notice is given. The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under Section 4(a) of this Agreement 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. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under Section 4(a) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party.

(c) At any time prior to the Facility Expiration Date, in the event a future funding is contractually required to be made available to the related Mortgagor under a Purchased Loan, Seller may submit to Buyer a Request for Margin Excess, in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto, which requests that Buyer transfer to Seller cash in an amount equal to the product of the applicable Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Loan multiplied by the amount of such future funding (such product, “Margin Excess (Future Funding)”), which cash shall be applied to increase the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to the Transaction for such Purchased Loan and to satisfy such future funding obligation in part; provided, that, Buyer shall not have any obligation to transfer such Margin Excess (Future Funding) to Seller unless Buyer shall have determined that all of the following conditions precedent (such conditions, the “Future Funding Conditions Precedent”) are satisfied:

(i)

If in connection with the entry into the initial Transaction relating to the Purchased Loan that is the subject of a future funding obligation, Buyer and Seller agreed upon additional conditions precedent which are required to be satisfied (e.g. maintenance of or improvement in Debt Yield (Purchase Price) and/or Debt Yield (Loan UPB)) with respect to such Purchased Loan and which are specified in the Confirmation, taking into account the increase in the outstanding Purchase Price attributable to such Margin Excess (Future Funding), then such additional conditions precedent are satisfied;

(ii)

taking into account the increase in the outstanding Purchase Price attributable to such Margin Excess (Future Funding), the LTV (Purchase Price) shall not exceed sixty percent (60%);

(iii)

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(iv)

the increase in the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Loan attributable to such Margin Excess (Future Funding) shall be equal to or greater than $250,000;

(v)

Seller shall have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that all conditions precedent to the future funding obligation under the Purchased Loan documentation shall have been satisfied in all material respects; and

(vi)

following such increase in the outstanding Purchase Price attributable to such Margin Excess (Future Funding), no Margin Deficit shall exist.

(d) If any notice is given by Seller under Section 4(c) of this Agreement on any Business Day, Buyer shall transfer cash as provided in Section 4(c) by no later than the close of business on the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Business Day on which Buyer reasonably determines that the Future Funding Conditions Precedent have been satisfied (or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waived). The failure of Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under Section 4(c) of this Agreement shall not change or alter the terms and conditions

to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Seller to exercise its rights under Section 4(c) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party.

(e) At any time prior to the Facility Expiration Date, in the event,

(x)(a) Seller elects to transfer cash to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or (ii) to satisfy a Margin Deficit and (b) on any date subsequent to such transfer of cash, the Market Value of a Purchased Loan increases such that the outstanding Purchase Price (or if cash collateral was transferred in accordance with Section 4(a)(i), the outstanding Purchase Price less such cash collateral so transferred) with respect to such Purchased Loan is less than the maximum Purchase Price available with respect to such Purchased Loan based upon the applicable Maximum Purchase Price Percentage, or

(y)(a) Seller elects to transfer cash to Buyer pursuant to Section 3(f) or elects as described in the definition of Pricing Matrix to receive on the applicable Purchase Date a Purchase Price lower than the maximum Purchase Price available based upon the applicable Maximum Purchase Price Percentage and (b) on any date subsequent to such transfer of cash, Seller desires to receive a re-advance of such cash so transferred or an additional advance of cash in an amount up to the maximum Purchase Price available with respect to such Purchased Loan based upon the Maximum Purchase Price Percentage (the difference between the actual outstanding Purchase Price (or outstanding Purchase Price less cash collateral transferred, as the case may be), and the higher hypothetical Purchase Price, the “Margin Excess (Other)”), then Seller may submit to Buyer a Request for Margin Excess, in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto, which requests that Buyer transfer to Seller an amount up to such Margin Excess (Other), by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller; provided, that, Buyer shall not have any obligation to transfer such Margin Excess (Other) to Seller unless Buyer shall have determined that all of the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

(i)

no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)

with respect to any Purchased Loan, the amount of cash transferred by Buyer pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above shall not cause the Purchase Price to exceed the maximum Purchase Price based upon the Maximum Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Loan;

(iii)

the increase in the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Loan attributable to such Margin Excess (Other) shall be equal to or greater than $250,000; and

(iv)

following such increase in the outstanding Purchase Price attributable to such Margin Excess (Other), no Margin Deficit shall exist.

(f) If any Request for Margin Excess is given by Seller on any Business Day under (x) Section 4(e)(x) of this Agreement, Buyer shall transfer cash as provided in Section 4(e)(x) by no later than the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day following the Business

Day on which Buyer has completed its calculation of Market Value, or (y) Section 4(e)(y) of this Agreement, Buyer shall transfer cash as provided in Section 4(e)(y) by no later than the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day following the Business Day on which such Request for Margin Excess is submitted. The failure of Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under Section 4(e) of this Agreement shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or delay by Seller to exercise its rights under Section 4(e) of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for such party.

(g) Promptly following the transfer of Margin Excess by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 4(c) and 4(d) or 4(e) and 4(f), Buyer shall deliver to Seller an amended and restated Confirmation which shall reflect the increase in the outstanding Purchase Price.

5.	INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) The Cash Management Account shall be established at the Depository concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Cash Management Account. All Income in respect of the Purchased Loans and any payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account and shall be remitted by the Depository in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 5(d), 5(e), 5(f) and 14(b)(iii) of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to each Purchased Loan, Seller shall deliver to each Mortgagor, issuer of a participation or borrower under a Purchased Loan an irrevocable direction letter (the “Irrevocable Direction Letter”) in the form attached as Exhibit X to this Agreement, with a simultaneous copy to Servicer, instructing the Mortgagor and Servicer to pay all amounts payable under the related Purchased Loan to the Cash Management Account and shall provide to Buyer proof of such delivery. If a Mortgagor or Servicer forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Loan to Seller rather than directly to the Cash Management Account, Seller shall (i) deliver an additional Irrevocable Direction Letter to the applicable Mortgagor, with a simultaneous copy to Servicer, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgagor or Servicer to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account and (ii) deposit in the Cash Management Account any such amounts within one Business Day of Seller’s receipt thereof.

(c) On each Remittance Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued during the related Pricing Rate Period for each Transaction to the extent not previously paid to Buyer.

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, during the Facility Availability Period, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions (other than Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) may be remitted by the Depository on the next Business Day to the account of Seller specified in the Blocked Account Agreement (or in accordance with such other direction and instruction of Seller which is reasonably approved by Buyer).

(e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, during the Facility Availability Period, all Principal Payments in respect of each Purchased Loan (whether scheduled or unscheduled) received by the Depository shall be paid, pursuant to the withdrawal instructions of Seller that have been approved by Buyer after Buyer and Seller have reconciled the amount of any partial Principal Payment, to Buyer on the next Remittance Date and, in each instance, applied as follows: (i) first, toward the reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan to the extent necessary to cause the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Loan to equal the product of the related Market Value and the applicable Purchase Price Percentage (or with respect to any Principal Payment in full, in the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan to zero) and (ii) second, to the extent necessary to cause the outstanding Purchase Price with respect to each other Purchased Loan to equal the product of the related Market Value and the applicable Purchase Price Percentage. Any Principal Payments received by the Depository and not paid to Buyer pursuant to the preceding sentence on each Remittance Date during the Facility Availability Period shall be remitted promptly to Seller.

(f) Following the end of the Facility Availability Period (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied, pursuant to the withdrawal instructions of Seller that have been approved by Buyer, by the Depository on each Remittance Date as follows (subject to the following sentence):

(i)

first, to the Depository and Custodian an amount equal to the depository and custodial fees due and payable;

(ii)

second, to Buyer an amount equal to its out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement;

(iii)

third, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day;

(iv)

fourth, to make a payment to Buyer in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Loans, such payment to be allocated amongst the Purchased Loans on a pro rata basis based upon outstanding Purchase Price of each Purchased Loan;

(v)

fifth, to pay, the amount, if any, payable by Seller in the event any Hedging Transaction is being terminated as of such date; and

(vi)

sixth, the surplus, if any, to Seller.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 5(f) of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the application of funds pursuant to such Section, Seller shall be entitled upon written request to Buyer to receive the amount of funds, if any, as may be required by applicable law to be distributed for Guarantor to maintain its status as a “real estate investment trust” for tax purposes and to avoid other adverse tax consequences to Guarantor and/or its shareholders related to the status of Guarantor as a “real estate investment trust” for tax purposes; provided, that such

distribution shall be subject to the condition precedent (which Seller shall be required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion) that Guarantor has exhausted all other sources of cash flow and income, whether in the form of equity or debt, prior to such request being made to Buyer.

(g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied, upon the direction and instruction of Buyer, by the Depository on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account as follows:

(i)

first, to the Depository and Custodian an amount equal to the depository and custodial fees due and payable;

(ii)

second, to Buyer an amount equal to its out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement;

(iii)

third, to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day;

(iv)

fourth, to make a payment to Buyer in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Loans, such payment to be allocated amongst the Purchased Loans as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, until the outstanding Purchase Price for all of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero;

(v)

fifth, to pay, the amount, if any, payable by Seller in the event any Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased Loan is being terminated as of such date; and

(vi)

sixth, the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

6.	SECURITY INTEREST

Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans (other than for tax purposes). However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a first priority lien on, and security interest in, all of Seller’s interest in the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all other amounts or obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the related documents described herein:

(a) the Purchased Loans, the Servicing Rights, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance relating to the Purchased Loans, and collection and escrow accounts relating to the Purchased Loans;

(b) the Hedging Transactions, if any, entered into pursuant to this Agreement;

(c) the Cash Management Account and all financial assets (including, without limitation, all security entitlements with respect to all financial assets) from time to time on deposit in the Cash Management Account;

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

Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. Upon such termination, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and to return the Purchased Loans to Seller. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Section 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder).

7.	PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Loans shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller specified in writing by Seller relating to such Transaction.

(b) On or before each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee the Custodial Delivery in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of Seller, Buyer in its sole discretion may elect to permit Seller to make such delivery by not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the related Purchase Date, so long as Seller causes an Acceptable Attorney to deliver to Buyer and the Custodian an Attorney’s Bailee Letter on or prior to such Purchase Date. In connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Loan, on or prior to the Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Loan, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released the following documents (collectively, the “Purchased Loan File”) pertaining to such Purchased Loan to the Custodian on or prior to the Purchase Date (unless otherwise waived by

Buyer) with respect to such Purchased Loan (or, pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, by not later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the related Purchase Date):

From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Loan approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents as Buyer shall request from time to time. With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true copy thereof with an officer’s certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are received. With respect to all of the Purchased Loans delivered by Seller to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit V attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its attorney-in-fact with full power during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the following sentence, during the occurrence and continuance of a monetary Default or material non-monetary

Default, to (i) complete and record the Assignment of Mortgage, (ii) complete the endorsement of the Mortgage Note and (iii) take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Loans and the related Purchased Loan Files and the Servicing Records. If a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer has requested in writing that Seller take or cause to be taken any action that Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Loans as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof (which writing shall include a statement that Buyer will exercise its power of attorney if Seller fails to take or cause to be taken such action requested by Buyer), and Seller has not complied with any such request promptly following receipt thereof, then Buyer may exercise its power of attorney during the existence and continuation of any such monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, as the case may be, as Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Loans as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof. Buyer shall deposit the Purchased Loan Files representing the Purchased Loans, or direct that the Purchased Loan Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian. The Purchased Loan Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. Any Purchased Loan Files not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Loan File and the originals of the Purchased Loan File not delivered to Buyer or its designee. The possession of the Purchased Loan File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Loan, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Loan to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Loan File only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Loans, is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Loan by Seller or as otherwise required by law.

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer shall exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Loans in accordance with Seller’s written instructions; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to follow Seller’s instructions concerning any vote or corporate right if doing so would, in Buyer’s Applicable Standard of Discretion and in a manner consistent with Buyer’s other master repurchase facilities for comparable assets, be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Transaction Documents or any Requirement of Law. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Loans without regard to Seller’s instructions.

8.	SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED LOANS

(a) Title to all Purchased Loans shall pass to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Loans, subject however, to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Loans or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased

Loans to Seller pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof or of Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Section 19(b).

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Loans delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Loan shall remain in the custody of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

9.	INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii)

If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(b)(i) of this Agreement:

(A)

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

(B)

to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the outstanding Purchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Sections 4 or 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii) of this Agreement); and

(C)

the Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Loans.

(iii)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or

private sale in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with Requirements of Law, and with prior written notice to Seller, at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Loans as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5(g).

(iv)

The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion in accordance with Requirements of Law, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

(v)

Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, (B) all actual costs incurred in connection with the termination of Hedging Transactions, and (C) any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Seller.

(vi)

Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii)

Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (other than with respect to Buyer) and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(viii)

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 Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, 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.

(ix)

Upon the designation of any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller. Buyer will give written notice to the other party of any set off effected under this Section 14(b)(ix). If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 14(b)(ix) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 14(b)(ix) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

15.

SINGLE AGREEMENT

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of

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

16.

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY.

17.

NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery, or (d) by email with proof of delivery to the address specified in Annex I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (b) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (c) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, or (d) in the case of email, upon receipt of confirmation of transmission and delivery, respectively, provided that such notice sent by email was also delivered as required in this Section. A party receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller directs Buyer to transfer funds pursuant to a Transaction or otherwise in accordance with Section 3 or 4 to an account or recipient other than Seller’s wiring instructions specified on Annex I, such direction shall be in writing (including in a Confirmation) and signed by two (2) authorized officers of Seller.

18.

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.

19.

NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) The rights and obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b) Upon prior written notice to Seller, Buyer shall be entitled to assign an interest in its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction to any other Person or issue one or more participation interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions and, in connection therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Buyer; provided, however, in all such instances, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) Buyer may not assign an interest in its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction or issue one or more participation interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions to any Prohibited Transferee, (ii) Buyer shall retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction, (iii) Seller shall not be obligated to deal directly or indirectly with any party other than Buyer, and (iv) Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to pay or reimburse Buyer or any assignee, transferee, participant or other third party for any costs that would not have been incurred but for the assignment, participation, bifurcation or allocation by Buyer in accordance with this Section 19(b). In furtherance of and without limitation to the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer confer on or grant any rights in any Person other than Buyer any right to determine the Market Value of any Purchased Loan, to declare a Margin Deficit, to determine whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, to approve a Purchased Loan, to make available to Seller Margin Excess, or to enforce any provision of any Transaction Documents against Seller or Guarantor, it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall restrict or limit Buyer’s right to consult with and consider the views and opinions of any assignee, transferee or participant under this Agreement.

(c) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a register for the recordation of each assignment pursuant to Section 19(b) above and the name and address of any assignee, and the Repurchase Price and Price Differential owing to such assignee (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Buyer and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the applicable rights and obligations and no transfer or assignment shall be effective unless duly noted in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable request.

(d) The Buyer and each assignee, if any that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it records such sale, the name and address of the applicable participant and, with respect to each such participant, the participated Repurchase Price and Price Differential (the “Participant Register”). Neither the Buyer nor any such assignee shall have any obligation to disclose the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document to any Person except (i) to the extent that the Internal Revenue Service

requests such disclosure (from Seller, Guarantor, Buyer, such assignee or otherwise) or such disclosure is otherwise reasonably determined to be required to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1I of the United States Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”), and (ii) the portion of the Participant Register relating to any such participant requesting (directly or through Buyer or an assignee) payment from Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be made available to Seller upon reasonable request. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement and no sale of a participation shall be effective unless duly noted in the Participant Register.

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

20.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

21.

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 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

22.

USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Section, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Section, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to

Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

23.

INTENT

(a) The parties recognize and agree that: (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the grant of a security interest set forth in Sections 6 and 29(b) hereof and the Guaranty, each of which secures the rights of Buyer hereunder also constitutes a “repurchase agreement” as contemplated by Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as contemplated by Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, with respect to the Transaction so constituting a “repurchase agreement” or “securities contract”.

(b) The parties recognize and agree that each of Buyer and Seller is a “repo participant” as that term is defined in Section 101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties recognize and agree that each party (for so long as each is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” repo participant, or “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Section 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement,” including (x) the rights set forth in Sections 3 and 14 and in Section 555, 559, and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code to liquidate the Purchased Loans and/or accelerate or terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out termination payments, payment amounts or other transfer obligations and otherwise exercise contractual rights as set forth in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(b)(27), 362(o), and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

(e) It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 or 29 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or the Transactions as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) 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 of the Transactions 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 the Transactions would render such definition inapplicable).

(g) The parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under the Transactions 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).

(h) In light of the intent set forth above in this Section 23, each Party agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the other Party (the “Requesting Party”), each Party will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in the Requesting Party’s good faith discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code for “repurchase agreements”, “securities contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that either Party’s failure to request, or either Party’s failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “repurchase agreements”, “securities contracts” and/or a “master netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a loan from Buyer to Seller, and that Seller is and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Loans for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer (and its assignees and participants, if any) shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence for all U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (including, without limitations, on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state or local taxing authority).

24.

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

25.

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

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

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

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 25 shall affect the right of Buyer or Seller to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer or Seller to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

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

26.

NO RELIANCE

Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

(a) It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents;

(b) It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party;

(c) It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

(d) It is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation; and

(e) It is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guaranty or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

27.

INDEMNITY

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements of outside counsel) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any

Environmental Law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than Buyer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), actual out-of-pocket loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller.

28.

DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller, any other servicer or subservicer of Seller and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer upon reasonable advance written notice a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering financial or accounting questions respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer 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 Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter reasonably acceptable to Seller 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 Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all actual costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 28 and for Buyer’s actual costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with due diligence reviews with respect to Eligible Loans which Seller proposes to make the subject of a Transaction under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Seller’s obligation to reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with Eligible Loans which Seller proposes to make the subject of a Transaction shall not exceed $15,000 with respect to any individual Eligible Loan without Seller’s prior consent and (y) so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, with respect to any due diligence Buyer proposes to perform with respect to any Purchased Loan after the related Purchase Date which would create a reimbursement obligation on the part of Seller, Buyer shall provide to Seller prior written notice of such due diligence

activities (including an estimate of the cost) and a reasonable opportunity for Seller to demonstrate to Buyer that such due diligence need not be performed, provided the final determination to perform or not perform such due diligence shall be made by Buyer.

29.

SERVICING

(a) Seller and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date and such Servicing Rights shall be transferred by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such applicable Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans and Servicing Rights hereby, Seller or, upon request by Seller, Servicer shall be granted a revocable license to exercise the Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or hypothecate a Purchased Loan prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 8, Buyer’s assigns (which license shall be deemed automatically revoked upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default); provided, however, that the obligations of Seller or Servicer to service the Purchased Loans shall cease, at Seller’s option, upon the payment by Seller to Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor. Seller shall cause Servicer to service the Purchased Loans pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, in each case, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Seller shall obtain the written consent of Buyer prior to appointing any third party Servicer for a Purchased Loan or entering into any Servicing Agreement with a Servicer (other than the initial Servicing Agreement with Midland Loan Services as initial Servicer).

(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of the Seller or Servicer to service in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records which are in Seller’s possession and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate any Seller or Servicer of the Purchased Loans with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement.

(d) Seller shall not employ or permit Servicer to employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer in its sole discretion except to the extent permitted in the Servicing Agreement.

(e) The payment of servicing fees under any Servicing Agreement shall be solely the obligation of Seller.

30.

MISCELLANEOUS

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

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by email (in PDF format) shall be considered binding with the same force and effect as original signatures.

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

(d) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of outside accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay Buyer promptly all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Loans, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer promptly all reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of outside counsel) reasonably incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Management Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

(i) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

31.

TAXES

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 31) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes of which it is aware to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 31) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail calculation of the amount of such payment or liability (together with a certified copy of the return reporting such payment, if applicable or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Seller) delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Buyer shall deliver to Seller such documentation as prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not payments hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to or for the benefit of Buyer (or any assignee or participant thereof) is subject to tax withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Buyer (or an assignee

or participant thereof) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation as prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) On or prior to the date on which the Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement and prior to the entry in the Register of any assignment to a U.S. Person (and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of Seller) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor forms) certifying that Buyer (and/or such assignee) is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) On or prior to entry in the Register of an assignment to an assignee that is not a U.S. Person (and from time to time thereafter as required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of Seller) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller two (2) executed originals of IRS Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereof, as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such person’s entitlement to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding Taxes.

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

(f) Buyer may not effect an assignment (and may not reflect such assignment in the Register) to an assignee that is not a U.S. Person, unless such assignee delivers a valid U.S. branch withholding certificate on IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) evidencing its agreement with the Buyer and the Seller to be treated as a U.S. Person for U.S. federal withholding purposes.

(g) Buyer (and each applicable assignee and participant) agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered (on behalf of itself or any assignee or any participant thereof) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update (in the case of an assignee or participant, by obtaining such updated form for such person) such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 31 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 31), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 31 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 31(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 31(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 31(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 31(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 31 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day first written above.

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

“Know All Men by These Presents, that PARLEX 2 FINANCE, LLC (“Seller”), does hereby appoint Citibank, N.A. (“Buyer”), its attorney-in-fact to act in Seller’s name, place and stead in any way which Seller could do during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the following sentence, during the occurrence and continuance of a monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, with respect to (i) the completion of the endorsements of the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, (ii) the recordation of the Assignments of Mortgages, and (iii) the enforcement of Seller’s rights under the Purchased Loans purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of June[12], 2013 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), between Buyer and Seller, and to take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Loans, the related Purchased Loan Files and the Servicing Records to the extent that Seller is permitted by law to act through an agent. If a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer has requested in writing that Seller take or cause to be taken any action that Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Loans as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) of the Repurchase Agreement (which writing shall include a statement that Buyer will exercise its power of attorney if Seller fails to take or cause to be taken such action requested by Buyer), and Seller has not complied with any such request promptly following receipt thereof, then Buyer may exercise its power of attorney during the existence and continuation of any such monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, as the case may be, as Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Loans as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) of the Repurchase Agreement.

EXHIBIT VI

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN

(1)

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Except with respect to a Purchased Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Purchased Loan. Each Purchased Loan that is part of a Whole Loan is a senior portion of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment, participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement and rights of the holder of a related “B note” in an “A/B” structure in a commercial real estate loan (a “Junior Interest”). Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Loan, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Loan other than the rights of the holder of a related Junior Interest.

(2)

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

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

VI-1

(3)

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

(4)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Loan File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Purchased Loan guaranty, and related Purchased Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Loan.

(5)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases to the Mortgagee constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Mortgagee. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified in the Due Diligence Package, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 6 (“Permitted Liens; Title Insurance”) of this Exhibit VI set forth in the related report delivered by Seller to Buyer of any exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in this Exhibit VI (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Except as otherwise set forth in the Title Policy (as hereinafter defined) relating to the Purchased Loan, such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and currently is, free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other

VI-2

personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(6)

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Loan (or with respect to a Purchased Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; (f) if the related Purchased Loan is part of a Whole Loan, the rights of the holder of the related Junior Interest; and (g) if the related Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more mortgage loans, the lien of the Mortgage for another mortgage loan contained in the same cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted group of mortgage loans; provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (g) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(7)

Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Junior Interests and Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Loan, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmens liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal

VI-3

property financing). Except as set forth in the Due Diligence Package, the Seller has no Actual Knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(8)

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

UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(10)	Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Purchased Loan and within thirteen months of the Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan no more than thirteen months prior to the Purchase Date. To the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free

VI-4

and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Loan.

(11)

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

(12)

Condemnation. To the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, Seller has not received written notice from any government agency or body of any proceeding pending or threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(13)

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

(14)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with Mortgagee pursuant to each Purchased Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with Mortgagee under the related Purchased Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to Buyer or its servicer.

(15)

No Holdbacks. Except as for Purchased Loans identified to Buyer in connection with the subject transaction as having future advances, the principal amount of the Purchased Loan stated in the Due Diligence Package has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions

VI-5

relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

(16)

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

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

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

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

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

VI-6

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section due and payable as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Buyer. Each related Purchased Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain or cause to be maintained all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s reasonable cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require prior notice as provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(17)

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

VI-7

(18)

No Encroachments. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge based solely on current surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Mortgagee’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan, (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy, (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(19)

No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date) or an equity participation by Seller (excluding any equity interest held or pledged in connection with a Mezzanine Loan or preferred equity interest).

(20)

REMIC. To the extent such Purchased Loan is identified as being REMIC eligible, the Purchased Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Purchased Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Loan and (B) either: (a) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Purchased Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to

VI-8

result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(21)

Compliance with Usury Laws. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, in reliance solely upon legal opinions delivered in connection with a Purchased Loan, the interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(22)

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

(23)

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

(24)

Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, based solely upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan as of the date of origination of such Purchased Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable) and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property. The terms of the Purchased Loan Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(25)	Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations

VI-9

necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller’s Actual Knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(26)

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

(27)

Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Loan Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32)), of not less than a specified percentage, which, in the case of a Purchased Loan identified as REMIC eligible, at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance defined in paragraph (32) below, (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning

VI-10

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

(28)

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

(29)

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Purchased Loan, and, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Loan, the related Purchased Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated in the related report delivered by Seller to Buyer of any exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in this Exhibit VI; provided, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Loan

VI-11

is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend more than the Terrorism Cap Amount on terrorism insurance coverage, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds the Terrorism Cap Amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Cap Amount. The “Terrorism Cap Amount” is the specified percentage (which is at least equal to 200%) of the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance).

(30)

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth in the Due Diligence Package or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Junior Interest of any Purchased Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Loan Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Loan, as set forth in the Due Diligence Package or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The related Mortgage or other Purchased Loan Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(31)	Single-Purpose Entity. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Due Diligence Package, each

VI-12

Purchased Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Loan with an unpaid principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Loan with an unpaid principal balance as of the Purchase Date of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Loan has an unpaid principal balance as of the Purchase Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Loan Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or commercial or multi-family properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Loan Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or commercial or multi-family properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Purchased Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(32)

Defeasance. With respect to any Purchased Loan that, pursuant to the Purchased Loan Documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Loan Documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Loan Documents; (ii) the Purchased Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the date of origination of such Purchased Loan; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Purchased Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Senior Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the anticipated repayment date, and if the Purchased Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan; (iv) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in (iii) above, (v) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Purchased Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such

VI-13

assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (vii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

(33)

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

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

(a)

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

(b)

The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Loan File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee;

(c)

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

(d)

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

VI-14

(e)

The Ground Lease does not place, in Seller’s reasonable judgment and to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, commercially unreasonably restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and, upon foreclosing on the Mortgage, the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (provided that proper notice is delivered to the extent required in accordance with such Ground Lease), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(f)

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

(g)

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

(h)

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

(i)

The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, as commercially unreasonable by a Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

(j)

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

VI-15

(k)

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

(l)

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

(35)	Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to the Purchased Loan have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans.

(36)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Seller (or to Seller’s Actual Knowledge the related originator if the Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Loan have been, in all material respects, in material compliance with applicable law and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Loan (or the related Whole Loan, as applicable) and to the extent originated by Seller or its Affiliates or, if originated by another Person, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit VI.

(37)

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

VI-16

(38)

Bankruptcy. To the Seller’s Actual Knowledge as of the Purchase Date and the date of the transfer of any Margin Excess to Seller, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in a state or federal Act of Insolvency.

(39)

Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Purchased Loan, based solely upon Seller’s reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Loan (or related Whole Loan, as applicable), the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross defaulted with another Purchased Loan, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, no Purchased Loan has a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of another Mortgagor. An “Affiliate” for purposes of this Paragraph 39 means, a mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another mortgagor.

(40)

Environmental Conditions. There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. Neither Seller nor the underlying obligor on such Senior Loan has taken any actions which would cause the related Mortgaged Property not to be in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. The related Purchased Loan Documents require the borrower to materially comply with all Environmental Laws. Each mortgagor has agreed to either indemnify the mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition (to the extent such condition is not caused by Seller, or from any failure of the mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws) or has provided environmental insurance.

(41)

Appraisal. The Purchased Loan File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Purchased Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to the Seller’s Actual Knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(42)	Due Diligence Package. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, the information pertaining to each Purchased Loan which is set forth in the Due Diligence Package is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.

VI-17

(43)	[Intentionally Omitted]

(44)

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

(45)

Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Purchased Loan, the failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Loan.

For purposes of these representations and warranties, “Mortgagee” shall mean the mortgagee, grantee or beneficiary under any Mortgage, any holder of legal title to any portion of any Purchased Loan or, if applicable, any agent or servicer on behalf of such party.
