ARTICLE 3

THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.01 Procedures.

(a) From time to time prior to the expiration of the applicable Funding Period but not more frequently than twice per calendar week and with no less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Buyer, Seller may request Buyer to enter into a proposed Transaction by sending Buyer a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“Transaction Request”) (i) describing the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmitting a complete Underwriting Package (or whatever portion thereof is then currently available to Seller) for each proposed Asset, (iii) specifying which (if any) of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement (including in Schedule 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) applicable to the Class of such Asset) Seller will be unable to make with respect to such Asset, (iv) indicating whether or not Seller proposes to treat such Asset as a CMBS Purchased Asset, and (v) indicating the amount of all unfunded future funding obligations. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Buyer of a Transaction Request, Buyer shall indicate to Seller its preliminary approval

or disapproval of the proposed Asset. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer, provided the same are either in Seller’s possession or are reasonably obtainable by Seller. Buyer shall conduct such review of the Underwriting Package and each such Asset as Buyer determines appropriate. Buyer shall determine whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of all such representations and warranties and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting Package, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting Package will only be acceptable to Buyer if disclosed in writing to Buyer by Seller in advance of the related Purchase Date, and then only if Buyer opts to purchase the related Purchased Asset from Seller notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies. In the event of a Representation Breach, Seller shall immediately repurchase the related Asset or Assets in accordance with Section 3.04.

(b) If Buyer communicates to Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, which non-binding determination shall include the principal terms for the proposed Transaction, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an executed preliminary Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Asset and its proposed Purchase Date, Market Value, Applicable Percentage, Purchase Price, whether such Asset is a Future Funding Asset and, if so, the amount of the future funding obligations, and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require, and indicating whether or not Seller proposes to treat such Asset as a CMBS Purchased Asset. If Buyer requires changes to the preliminary Confirmation, Seller shall make such changes and re execute the preliminary Confirmation. If Buyer determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the preliminary Confirmation, Buyer shall promptly execute and return the same to Seller, which shall thereupon become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction. Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Asset on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not (i) be bound by any preliminary or final non-binding determination referred to above, (ii) be deemed to have approved the purchase of an Asset by virtue of the approval or entering into by Buyer of a rate lock agreement, Interest Rate Protection Agreement, total return swap or any other agreement with respect to such Asset, or (iii) be obligated to purchase an Asset notwithstanding a Confirmation executed by the Parties unless and until all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer.

(c) Buyer shall communicate to Seller a final determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase each proposed Purchased Asset, and if so, on what terms and conditions, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the delivery of the related Transaction Request to Buyer. If Buyer has not communicated such final determination to Seller by such date, Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase the related proposed Purchased Asset.

(d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. Whenever the Applicable Percentage or any other term of a Transaction (other than the Pricing Rate,

Market Value and outstanding Purchase Price) with respect to an Asset is revised or adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such revision or adjustment and that is otherwise acceptable to the Parties shall be prepared by Seller and executed by the Parties.

(e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Asset or Purchased Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise with respect to any representations or warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Asset or Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, if such Asset or Purchased Asset does not meet the requirements therefor, as set forth in the definition of “Eligible Asset”.

(f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Asset subject to such Transaction would be later than (A) for all Purchased Assets other than CMBS Purchased Assets, the Maturity Date (but, if the original Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 3.07(a), in no event beyond the last day of the First Extension Term), and (B) for all CMBS Purchased Assets, the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, (iii) after giving effect to such Transaction, the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions then outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount, (iv) a material adverse change with respect to the related proposed Purchased Asset, Seller and/or Guarantor has occurred, (v) any proposed Purchased Asset does not qualify as an Eligible Asset, (vi) Seller has not provided Buyer with all of the necessary or requested due diligence materials to allow Buyer to determine whether or not a proposed Purchased Asset qualifies as an Eligible Asset or (vii) the Funding Period applicable to the Purchased Asset has expired; provided, that (A) after the last day of the Funding Period, Future Funding Transactions may be entered into to the limited extent set forth in Section 3.10(d), and (B) after the last day of the Second Extension Term, certain Purchased Assets may be considered Extended Term Purchased Assets as provided in Section 3.01(i).

(g) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01, solely with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, a copy of the related Transaction Request shall be delivered by Seller to Bailee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date, to be held in escrow by Bailee on behalf of Buyer pending finalization of the Transaction.

(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01 or any contrary provisions set forth in the Custodial Agreement, solely with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset:

(ii) not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Purchase Date, (A) Bailee shall deliver an executed .pdf copy of the Bailee Agreement to Seller, Buyer and Custodian by electronic mail and (B) if Buyer has previously received the trust receipt in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of the Custodial Agreement, determined that all other applicable conditions in this Agreement, including without limitation those set forth in Section 6.02 hereof, have been satisfied, and otherwise has agreed to purchase the related Wet Mortgage Asset, Buyer shall (I) execute and deliver a .pdf copy of the related Confirmation to Seller and Bailee via electronic mail and (II) wire funds in the amount of the related Purchase Price for the related Wet Mortgage Asset in accordance with the wire transfer instructions that were previously delivered to Buyer by Seller; and

(iii) within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Purchase Date with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (A) to Custodian, the complete original Mortgage Asset File with respect to such Wet Mortgage Asset, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, and (B) to Buyer, the complete original Underwriting Package with respect to the related Wet Mortgage Assets purchased by Buyer.

Section 3.02 Transfer of Purchased Assets; Servicing Rights. On the Purchase Date for each Purchased Asset, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6, (a) ownership of and title to such Purchased Asset shall be transferred to and vest in Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the account of Seller specified in Annex 1 (or if not specified therein, in the related Confirmation or as directed by Seller), and (b) Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing-released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest (except with respect to any Retained Interests) in and to such Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. Subject to this Agreement, until the applicable Maturity Date, Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Buyer has the right to designate the servicer and sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets, and the Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Documents.

Section 3.03 Maximum Amount. The aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets as of any date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. If the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets as of any date of determination exceeds the Maximum Amount, Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer an amount necessary to reduce such aggregate outstanding Purchase Price to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Amount.

Section 3.04 Early Repurchases; Mandatory Repurchases; Partial Prepayments.

(a) The terms and provisions governing early repurchases and mandatory repurchases under Section 3.04(a) are set forth in the Fee and Pricing Letter, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

(b) In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under any Repurchase Document, Seller shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.04 and Section 3.05, repurchase (a) any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset, as determined by Buyer, within three (3) Business Days of the receipt by Seller of a related repurchase notice from Buyer, and (b) any Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt by Seller of written notice from Buyer that the related Whole Loan is no longer a Purchased Asset.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Repurchase Document, Seller cannot repurchase a Purchased Asset in connection with a full payoff of the underlying Whole Loan by the Underlying Obligor, unless (i) at any time during the existence of an uncured Default or Event of Default, 100% of the net proceeds due in respect of the related Purchased Asset in connection with the relevant payoff in question are paid directly to Buyer, (ii) at any time following the First Extended Maturity Date and prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, if the Funding Period has expired, 110% of the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset in connection with the relevant payoff in question is paid directly to Buyer and (iii) at any time following the Second Extended Maturity Date and prior to the Third Extended Maturity Date, 125% of the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset in connection with the relevant payoff in question is paid directly to Buyer. In each case, the portion of all such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset that is required to be paid to Buyer pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, as applicable, will be applied by Buyer to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer under this Agreement, and then to reduce the Repurchase Prices of the other Purchased Assets in such order and in such amounts as Buyer shall determine and, subject to Section 5.03, any remaining net proceeds not required to be paid to Buyer shall be remitted to Seller.

Section 3.05 Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset, Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of the Repurchase Date, and the related Seller Party shall pay all amounts due to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under the related Interest Rate Protection Agreement and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall transfer to Seller such Purchased Asset, whereupon such Transaction with respect to such Purchased Asset shall terminate; provided, however, that, with respect to any Repurchase Date that occurs on the second Business Day prior to the maturity date (under the related Purchased Asset Documents) for such Purchased Asset by reason of clause (d) of the definition of “Repurchase Date”, settlement of the payment of the Repurchase Price and such amounts may occur up to the second Business Day after such Repurchase Date; provided, further, that Buyer shall have no obligation to transfer to Seller, or release any interest in, such Purchased Asset until Buyer’s receipt of payment in full of the Repurchase Price therefor. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon receipt by Buyer of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due and owing to Buyer and its Affiliates under this Agreement and each other Repurchase Document as of such Xxxxxxxxxx

Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Asset, shall authorize Custodian (in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement) to release to Seller the Purchased Asset Documents for such Purchased Asset and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against Seller specifically identifies such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset from Buyer’s security interest therein. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Asset, free and clear of any other interests or Liens created by Buyer.

Buyer shall give Seller notice of the Price Differential and any fees and other amounts due under the Repurchase Documents on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day preceding each Remittance Date; provided, that Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice shall not affect (i) the accrual of such obligations in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) Seller’s obligation to pay such amounts.

Each Extension Option, if Seller elects to request same, shall be exercised by delivery to Buyer from Seller of written notice requesting an extension of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be. Following the receipt of notice in the manner set forth herein, Buyer shall grant each Extension Option subject to the requirement that, as of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Extension Conditions”) are satisfied, as determined by Buyer: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit is outstanding, (iii) Seller is in compliance with the Debt Yield Test, (iv) all Purchased Assets qualify as Eligible Assets (or, if any Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, Seller has repurchased such Purchased Asset no later than the earlier of (x) the then-current Maturity Date, or (y) three (3) business days after the delivery of notice thereof from Buyer, provided that the failure of Buyer to deliver such written notice shall not be construed as a waiver of Buyer’s right to require Seller to satisfy all of the Extension Conditions), and (v) Seller has paid to Buyer the applicable Extension Fee; provided that, with respect to the Extension Condition set forth in clause (i), if a Default (but no Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing as of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Maturity Date, as the case may be, then the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be extended on an interim basis until the earlier of (x) the date such Default is cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (whereupon the applicable Extension Option shall be immediately effective and the then current Maturity Date shall be extended for the applicable Extension Term) or (y) the date that the applicable cure period for such Default expires and such Default has not been cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such Extension Option shall not be effective and the Maturity Date shall be deemed to immediately occur). For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Second Extension Term shall not effect, or be deemed to effect, an extension of the Funding Period solely as a result of such exercise of the Second Extension Option and the Funding Period shall only be extended for such Second Extension Term if and to the extent Buyer agrees to such extension of the Funding Period in its sole discretion.

(b) Seller shall have the option to extend the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date for an additional period of one year by delivery to Buyer from Seller of written notice

requesting an extension of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, accompanied by a certification by a Responsible Officer of Seller that all of the Extension Conditions are satisfied or, if any of the Extension Conditions are not satisfied as of the date of such written notice, an explanation of how Seller proposes to comply with each such Extension Condition as of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date. Following the receipt of notice in the manner set forth herein, Buyer shall grant the applicable Extension Option, subject to the requirement that, as of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, each of the Extension Conditions, other than payment of the Extension Fee, are satisfied, as determined by Buyer; provided that, with respect to the Extension Condition set forth in clause (i) of such definition, if a Default (but no Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing as of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, then the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date shall be extended on an interim basis until the earlier of (x) the date such Default is cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such extension shall be deemed to have been granted) or (y) the date that the applicable cure period for such Default expires and such Default has not been cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such extension shall be deemed to have been denied and the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date shall be deemed to immediately occur).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, except for Future Funding Transactions that may be entered into by Buyer and Seller in connection with Trailing Future Funding Obligations in accordance with Section 3.10(d) hereof, no additional Transactions shall be entered into after the expiration of the Funding Period.

(d) The terms and provisions governing further extensions of the Maturity Date under Section 3.07(d) are set forth in the Fee and Pricing Letter, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Section 3.08 Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the day when due, in immediately available Dollars and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, and if not received before such time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment under the Repurchase Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment. If Seller fails to pay all or part of any Repurchase Price amount by 5:00 p.m., New York City time on any date when due, Buyer may require Seller to pay (in addition to, and together with, such past-due Repurchase Price) a late fee equal to one percent (1%) of the total amount of the late payment, plus interest on such past due Repurchase Price as provided in Section 18.16, until any such past due Repurchase Price is received in full by Buyer. Amounts payable to Buyer and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Waterfall Account shall be deposited into an account of Buyer. Seller shall have no rights in, rights of withdrawal from, or rights to give notices or instructions regarding Buyer’s account or the Waterfall Account or any Servicing Agreement Account. Amounts in the Servicing Agreement Account established and maintained in connection with the Servicing Agreement may be invested at the direction and

in the discretion of Buyer in cash equivalents before they are distributed in accordance with Article 5.

(b) Any Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian on the relevant Purchase Date and subsequently received or held by or on behalf of Seller are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its agent for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof until so delivered to Buyer or Custodian. Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of such Purchased Asset Documents and the originals of the Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian. The possession of Purchased Asset Documents by Seller or its agent is in a custodial capacity only at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of assisting Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement or any other applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Purchased Asset Document retained or held by Seller or its agent shall be segregated on Seller’s books and records from the other assets of Seller or its agent, and the books and records of Seller or its agent shall be marked to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer on a servicing-released basis. Seller or its agent shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset Documents only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets by Servicer or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller, in each case in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

Section 3.09 Repurchase Obligations Absolute. All amounts payable by Seller under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid without notice (except as expressly required in the Repurchase Documents), demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (a) any damage to, destruction of, taking of, restriction or prevention of the use of, interference with the use of, title defect in, encumbrance on or eviction from, any Purchased Asset, the Pledged Collateral or related Mortgaged Property, (b) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest or a Junior Interest, or any action taken with respect to any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest or a Junior Interest, or by any court in any such proceeding, (c) any claim that Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise, (d) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document or other agreement with Seller, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Asset, Repurchase Document or Purchased Asset Document, or (f) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller has notice or Knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be (i) full recourse to Seller and (ii) limited recourse to Guarantor to the extent of, and subject to the specified full-recourse provisions set forth in, the Guarantee Agreement. This Section 3.09 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 3.10 Future Funding Transaction. Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Future Funding Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent,

both immediately prior to entering into such Future Funding Transaction and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof:

(a) Prior to the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to Section 3.07(a)) or the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date (without giving effect to any extension pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), Seller may request that Buyer enter into a Future Funding Transaction, by delivering either (i) a signed, written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto prior to the related Future Funding Date (each, a “Future Funding Confirmation”), signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller or (ii) an amended and restated Confirmation. Each Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, shall (i) identify the related Purchased Asset, (ii) specify the amount of the related future advance made or to be made by Seller to the Underlying Obligor and the requested Future Funding Amount, (iii) specify the Future Funding Date, (iv) specify the Book Value of the Purchased Asset before and after giving effect to the related future advance, (v) specify the Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset before and after giving effect to the requested Future Funding Amount and (vi) be executed by both Buyer (upon Buyer’s approval of such Future Funding Transaction) and Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Future Funding Transaction covered thereby. If terms in a Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Future Funding Transaction, the terms of such Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, shall prevail. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, either expressed or implied, all future funding obligations set forth in any Purchased Asset Document are and shall at all times remain solely the obligations of Seller.

(b) For each proposed Future Funding Transaction, no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the proposed Future Funding Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Future Funding Request Package. Buyer shall have the right to review the Future Funding Request Package and to update Buyer’s original due diligence and to conduct additional due diligence with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset/or the related Whole Loan, Senior Interest, Mezzanine Loan and/or Junior Interest as Buyer determines. Prior to the approval of each proposed Future Funding Transaction by Buyer, Buyer shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that both at the time of such request and as of the Future Funding Date, (i) the related Purchased Asset is not a Defaulted Asset, (ii) the related Purchased Assets has a Debt Yield that is equal to or greater than the applicable Debt Yield Purchase Threshold, (iii) Seller is in compliance with the Debt Yield Test, (iv) the conditions precedent for a Transaction set forth in sub-paragraphs (b), (e), (f), (g) and (i) of Section 6.02 have been met by Seller, and (v) all related conditions precedent set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied.

(c) Upon the approval by Buyer of a particular Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a signed copy of the related Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, described in clause (i) above, on or before the related Future Funding Date. On the related Future Funding Date, which shall occur no later

than three (3) Business Days after the final approval of the Future Funding Transaction by Buyer (a) if Seller has not remitted to the applicable Underlying Obligor the applicable future advance amount due in connection with the related Future Funding Transaction pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents on or prior to the Future Funding Date: (i) if an escrow agreement has been established in connection with such Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the related escrow account, (ii) if the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents provide for a reserve account in connection with future advances, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the applicable reserve account, or (iii) otherwise, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount directly to the related Underlying Obligor; or (b) if Seller has provided Buyer with evidence satisfactory to it that Seller has remitted to the applicable Underlying Obligor the full amount due in connection with the related Future Funding Transaction on or prior to the Future Funding Date, Buyer shall remit such Future Funding Amount directly to Seller.

(d) If Seller applies to extend the Maturity Date to the Second Extension Termination Date or Third Extension Termination Date in accordance with Section 3.07(a) within the time period permitted thereunder, Seller shall, in each case, submit to Buyer a list of all Purchased Assets with unfunded future funding obligations and provide such other related information as requested by Buyer. Buyer shall have the option to approve or reject any or all of the items on Seller’s list, as determined in its discretion on or before the first day of the Second Extension Term or the Third Extension Term, as applicable. All of the approved items, if any, on Seller’s list shall, immediately thereafter, be incorporated by reference into this Agreement as Schedule 3 hereto and thereafter, each such approved item shall be referred to as a “Trailing Future Funding Obligation”. During the Second Extension Term and Third Extension Term, Seller shall be permitted to request Future Funding Transactions that constitute Trailing Future Funding Obligations, so long as each such unfunded Future Funding Transaction satisfies all of the terms, conditions and requirements set forth in Section 3.10(b) other than the requirement that the Funding Period has not expired, so long as each such Future Funding Transaction is entered into prior to the last day of the Second Extension Term or Third Extension Term, as applicable.

Section 3.11 Additional Purchase Advance Transactions.

(a) Prior to the Maturity Date (as same may be extended through to the Second Extended Maturity Date), Seller may request that Buyer increase the Maximum Applicable Percentage for any Purchased Asset other than a CMBS Purchased Asset, by written request delivered no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the proposed date for the requested additional advance that would be based on such increased percentage (each such transaction pursuant to which such an advance is made, an “Additional Purchase Advance Transaction” and the amount advanced in any such transaction, an “Additional Purchase Advance”). In connection with any such Additional Purchase Advance Transaction, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new Maximum Applicable Percentage and outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset.

(b) Any Additional Purchase Advance Transaction shall be entered into only if Buyer agrees to do so in its discretion, it being understood without limiting the generality of

the foregoing that Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Additional Purchase Advance Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, both immediately prior to entering into the related Additional Purchase Advance Transaction and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof: (i) no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions then outstanding does not exceed the Maximum Amount, (iii) no Sub-Limit is exceeded, (iv) the amount of such Additional Purchase Advance does not exceed the Additional Purchase Advance Available Amount and (v) no Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.12 Increase Option.

(a) Seller shall have the option (the “Increase Option”) to increase the Maximum Amount by the Increase Option Amount, which consent may be granted or denied in Buyer’s sole discretion. The Increase Option, if Seller elects to request same, shall be exercised by delivery to Buyer from Seller of written notice requesting an increase of the Maximum Amount, no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of the Increase Option, which effective date of the Increase Option shall be no later than the Initial Maturity Date.

(b) Following the receipt of notice in the manner set forth herein, Buyer may grant such Increase Option, subject to the requirement that, as of the date of such notice and as of the effective date of the exercise of the Increase Option, each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Increase Option Conditions”) are satisfied, as determined by Buyer: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit is outstanding, (iii) Seller is in compliance with the Debt Yield Test, (iv) all Purchased Assets qualify as Eligible Assets (or, if any Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, Seller has repurchased such Purchased Asset no later than the earlier of (x) the then-current Maturity Date, or (y) three (3) Business Days after the delivery of notice thereof from Buyer, provided that the failure of Buyer to deliver such written notice shall not be construed as a waiver of Buyer’s right to require Seller to satisfy all of the Increase Option Conditions), and (v) Seller has paid to Buyer the applicable Structuring Fee.

Section 4.01 Margin Deficit.

(a) If on any date (i) the Market Value for any Purchased Asset (as determined by Buyer) is less than (ii) the product of (A) the applicable Buyer’s Margin Percentage times (B) the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of such date (the excess, if any, of (ii) over (i), a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after notice from Buyer (a “Margin Call”), transfer cash to Buyer in an amount at least equal to such Margin Deficit. Buyer shall apply the funds received in satisfaction of a Margin Deficit to the Repurchase Obligations in such manner as Buyer determines, to amounts due and owing under the Repurchase Documents on such date. Additional terms and provisions

governing Margin Deficits and Margin Calls under this Section 4.01(a) are set forth in the Fee and Pricing Letter, and are hereby incorporated by reference.

(b) Buyer’s election not to deliver, or to forbear from delivering, a Margin Call notice at any time there is a Margin Deficit shall not waive or be deemed to waive such Margin Deficit or in any way limit, stop or impair Buyer’s right to deliver a Margin Call notice at any time when the same or any other Margin Deficit exists on the same or any other Purchased Asset (and the conditions to delivery of such Margin Call under Section 4.01(a) above are satisfied). Buyer’s rights relating to Margin Deficits under this Section 4.01 are cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents or Requirements of Law.

(c) All cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.01 with respect to a Purchased Asset shall be deposited into the Waterfall Account, except as directed by Buyer, and notwithstanding any provision in Section 5.02 to the contrary, shall be applied to reduce the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset.

The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each Repurchase Document to which it is a party do not and will not (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any (i) Governing Document, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation applicable to Seller or any of its properties or assets, (ii) Requirements of Law, or (iii) approval, consent, judgment, decree, order or demand of any Governmental Authority, or (b) result in the creation of any Lien (other than, except with respect to any Purchased Asset, any Liens granted pursuant to or by the Repurchase Documents) on any of the properties or assets of Seller. All approvals, authorizations, consents, orders, filings, notices or other actions of any Person or Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Repurchase Documents to which it is a party and the sale of and grant of a security interest in each Purchased Asset to Buyer, have been obtained, effected, waived or given and are in full force and effect.

Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, there is no material litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor before any Governmental Authority (a) asserting the invalidity of any Repurchase Document, (b) seeking to prevent the consummation of any Transaction, or (c) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.03 Solvency. None of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor is or has ever been the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. Seller, Manager, each Intermediate Starwood Entity and Guarantor are Solvent and the Transactions do not and will not render Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor not Solvent. Seller is not entering into the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor. Seller has received or will receive reasonably equivalent value for the Repurchase Documents and each Transaction. Seller has adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due.

Section 7.04 Taxes. Seller, Manager, each Intermediate Starwood Entity and Guarantor have filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by them and have paid all material taxes (including mortgage recording taxes), assessments, fees, and other governmental charges payable by them, or with respect to any of their properties or assets, which have become due, and income or franchise taxes have been paid or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller, Manager, each Intermediate Starwood Entity and Guarantor have paid, or have provided adequate reserves for the payment of, all such taxes for all prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to date. Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, there is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim relating to any such taxes now pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened by any Governmental Authority which is not being contested in good faith as provided above. None of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor has entered into any agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into any agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. No tax liens have been filed against any assets of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor. Seller does not intend to treat any Transaction as being a “reportable transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011—4. If Seller determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, it will promptly notify Buyer, in which case Buyer may treat each Transaction as subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112—1 and will maintain the lists and other records required thereunder.

Section 7.05 Financial Condition. The audited balance sheet of Guarantor as at the fiscal year most recently ended for which such audited balance sheet is available, and the related audited statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, reported on without a “going concern” or like qualification arising out of the audit conducted by Guarantor’s independent certified public accountants, copies of which have been delivered to Buyer, are complete and correct and present fairly the financial condition of Guarantor as of such date and the results of its operations and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including related schedules and notes, were prepared in accordance with

GAAP except as disclosed therein. Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, Guarantor does not have any material contingent liability or liability for taxes or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, including any Derivative Contract, which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or notes.

The information, reports, certificates, documents, financial statements, operating statements, forecasts, books, records, files, exhibits and schedules furnished by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions, when taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

Section 7.07 Compliance with Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Laws, and, to Seller’s Actual Knowledge, no Purchased Asset contravenes any Requirements of Laws in any material respect.

Seller is a “qualified purchaser” as defined in the Investment Company Act. None of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor (a) is or is controlled by an “investment company” as defined in such Act or is exempt from the provisions of the Investment Company Act, (b) is a “broker” or “dealer” as defined in, or could be subject to a liquidation proceeding under, the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, or (c) is subject to regulation by any Governmental Authority limiting its ability to incur the Repurchase Obligations. No properties presently or previously owned or leased by Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor, or any of their respective predecessors contain or previously contained any Materials of Environmental Concern that constitute or constituted a violation of Environmental Laws or reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor thereunder. Seller has no Actual Knowledge of any violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor under any Environmental Law. Materials of Environmental Concern have not been released, transported, generated, treated, stored or disposed of in violation of Environmental Laws or in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor

thereunder. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller are in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and any foreign counterpart thereto. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller has made, offered, promised or authorized a payment of money or anything else of value (a) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (b) to any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, or (c) with the intent to induce the recipient to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any other Person, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

(b) Each of Seller and Guarantor either (i) qualifies as a VCOC or a REOC, (ii) complies with an exception set forth in the Plan Asset Regulations such that the assets of such Person would not be subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) does not hold any “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations that are subject to ERISA.

(c) Assuming that no portion of the Purchased Assets are funded by Buyer with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, none of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Documents will constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Buyer to any tax or penalty or prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

Section 7.09 No Default or Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date and as of the Purchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, no Event of Default and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no Default exists. Seller believes that it is and will be able to pay and perform each agreement, duty, obligation and covenant contained in the Repurchase Documents and Purchased Asset Documents to which it is a party, and except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law which would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing, prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, Seller has no Knowledge of any actual or prospective development, event or other fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Internal Control Event has occurred.

Section 7.10 Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. Each representation and warranty of Seller set forth in the Repurchase Documents (including those set forth in Schedule 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) or 1(d) applicable to the Class of such Purchased Asset) and the Purchased Asset Documents with respect to each Purchased Asset is true and correct. Seller has delivered to Custodian true, correct and complete copies of the Purchased Asset Documents, as applicable, relating to each Purchased Asset. Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing, Seller has no Actual Knowledge of any fact which could

reasonably lead it to expect that any Purchased Asset will not be paid in full. None of the Purchased Asset Documents has any marks or notations indicating that it has been sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer. If any Purchased Asset Document requires the holder or transferee of the related Purchased Asset to be a qualified transferee, qualified institutional lender or qualified lender (however defined), Seller meets such requirement. Assuming that Buyer also meets such requirement, the assignment and pledge of such Purchased Asset to Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Documents do not violate such Purchased Asset Document. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller (a) have sold and transferred all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Assets to Buyer, and (b) have no Retained Interests.

Section 7.12 Transfer and Security Interest. The Repurchase Documents constitute a valid and effective transfer to Buyer of all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under all Purchased Assets (together with all related Servicing Rights), free and clear of any Liens, subject only to the Permitted Liens described in clause (d) of the definition thereof. With respect to the protective security interest granted by Seller in Section 11.01, upon the delivery of the Confirmations and the Purchased Asset Documents to Custodian, the execution and delivery of the Controlled Account Agreement and the filing of the UCC financing statements as provided herein, such security interest shall be a valid first priority perfected security interest to the extent such security interest can be perfected by possession, filing or control under the UCC (other than Liens granted pursuant to or by the Repurchase Documents). Upon receipt by Custodian of each Purchased Asset Document required to be endorsed in blank by Seller and payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price for the related Purchased Asset, Buyer shall either (a) own such Purchased Asset and the related Purchased Asset Documents or (b) have a valid first priority perfected security interest in such Purchased Asset and the related Purchased Asset Documents. At Buyer’s election (and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, or if completed and recorded following a Material Default or Event of Default, at Seller’s sole cost and expense), Buyer or any nominee or agent of Buyer may complete and record any or all of the Blank Assignment Documents as further evidence of Buyer’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Asset Documents. Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements filed against Seller as debtor that include the Purchased Assets, other than any financing statement that has been terminated or filed pursuant to this Agreement.

Until such time as Buyer exercises either such remedy with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer may hold such Purchased Asset for its own account and retain all Income with respect thereto and apply such Income in accordance with Article 5.

(e) The Parties agree that the Purchased Assets are of such a nature that they may decline rapidly in value, and may not have a ready or liquid market. Accordingly, Buyer shall not be required to sell more than one Purchased Asset on a particular Business Day, to the same purchaser or in the same manner. Buyer may determine whether, when and in what manner a Purchased Asset shall be sold, it being agreed that both a good faith public and a good faith private sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Except as expressly required herein or in the other Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall not be required to give notice to Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy following the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Event of Default, (iii) any costs and losses payable under Section 12.03, and (iv) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(h) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for purposes of carrying out the Repurchase Documents, including executing, endorsing and recording any instruments or documents and taking any other actions that Buyer deems necessary or advisable to accomplish such purposes, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

(i) Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, exercise any or all of its set-off rights including those set forth in Section 18.17 and pursuant to any other Repurchase Document. This Section 10.02(i) 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.

(j) All rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, including those set forth in Section 18.17, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have and may be exercised at any time when an Event of Default exists. Such rights and remedies may be enforced without prior judicial process or hearing. Seller agrees 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. Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process or otherwise arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or any other election of remedies.

ARTICLE 11

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 11.01 Grant. Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, to preserve and protect Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and under the Repurchase Documents if any Governmental Authority recharacterizes any Transaction with respect to a Purchased Asset as other than a sale, and as security for Seller’s payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a present Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under (i) the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof), and (ii) each Interest Rate Protection Agreement with each Hedge Counterparty relating to each Purchased Asset, and the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer shall be deemed to constitute and confirm such grant, to secure the payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations (including the obligation of Seller to pay the Repurchase Price, or if the related Transaction is recharacterized as a loan, to repay such loan for the Repurchase Price).

Section 11.02 Effect of Grant. If any circumstance described in Section 11.01 occurs, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement as defined in the UCC, (b) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller or between any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the Repurchase Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its agents, including Custodian, of the Purchased Asset Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The security interest of Buyer granted herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and to all other Affiliated Hedge Counterparties that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) each Purchased Asset and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question and (B) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Asset or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be required to release its Lien on any Purchased Asset in the event of a repayment in full by the Underlying Obligor of any Whole Loan, Senior Interest, Junior Interest, Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, and Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset in accordance with Section 3.04. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

Section 11.03 Seller to Remain Liable. Buyer and Seller agree that the grant of a security interest under this Article 11 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Interest or other obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Asset or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Seller and any other related Seller Party, as applicable, shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets, each Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the Purchased Asset Documents to perform all of Seller’s or all other Seller Party’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not been executed.

Section 11.04 Waiver of Certain Laws. Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of

the Purchased Assets or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

A certificate of Buyer setting forth any amount or amounts that Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 12.03 shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive to the extent calculated in good faith and absent manifest error.

Section 12.06 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Repurchase 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 12.06) 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 to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written 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 12.06) 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.06, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

(e) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Repurchase Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.06(e)(ii)(A), Section 12.06(e)(ii)(B) and Section 12.06(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) if Buyer is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Repurchase Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Repurchase Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this

Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Buyer under any Repurchase Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer 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), Buyer 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 Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) 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 12.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.06), 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 12.06 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 12.06(f) (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 12.06(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 12.06(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 12.06(f) 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.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.06, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 12.07 Payment and Survival of Obligations. Buyer may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12, and Seller shall pay such amounts to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. The obligations of Seller under this Article 12 shall apply to Eligible Assignees and Participants and 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 Repurchase Document.

In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Underlying Obligor (and, in the case of a Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, the Underlying Obligor with respect to the related Whole Loan) 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 Underlying Obligor (and, in the case of a Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, the Underlying Obligor with respect to the related Whole Loan) from Seller.

(c) An Indemnified Person may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of Indemnified Amounts, and Seller shall pay such Indemnified Amounts to such Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice.

Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 (subject to the requirements and limitations and obligations set forth therein, including the requirements under Section 12.06(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.06(e) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)) and Article 13 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c), provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 12.04 or Section 12.06 than its participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer or such Participant with a request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer or such Participant, in each case made or issued after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(j) and 18.17 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c).

(c) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of either Seller or Guarantor but upon notice to Seller, sell and assign to any Eligible Assignee up to one hundred percent (100%) (in the aggregate, in one or more transactions, and including any participations under Section 18.08(b)) of the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), a copy of which shall be delivered to Seller as soon as reasonably possible after the execution thereof. From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent provided therein, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it; provided that Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of Buyer’s obligations under the Repurchase Documents, (ii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, and (iii) Buyer will give prompt written notice thereof (including identification of the Eligible Assignee and the amount of Repurchase Price allocated to it) to each Party (but Buyer shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice). Any sale or assignment by Buyer of rights or obligations under the Repurchase Documents that does not comply with this Section 18.08(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Repurchase Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18.08(b).

(d) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such sale and assignment of participations or assignments and shall enter into such restatements of, and

amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents to give effect to any such sale or assignment; provided, that none of the foregoing shall change any economic or other material term of the Repurchase Documents in a manner adverse to Seller without the consent of Seller.

(e) [Intentionally Omitted].

(f) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Eligible Assignees that become Parties hereto and, with respect to each such Eligible Assignee, the aggregate assigned Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parties at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g) Each Party that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and, with respect to each such Participant, the aggregate participated Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential, and any other interest in any obligations under the Repurchase Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Buyer shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Repurchase Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and 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 notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 18.09 Ownership and Hypothecation of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to and vest in Buyer on the applicable Purchase Dates and, subject to the terms of the Repurchase Documents, Buyer or its designee shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and be entitled to exercise all rights, privileges and options relating to the Purchased Assets as the owner thereof, including rights of subscription, conversion, exchange, substitution, voting, consent and approval, and to direct any servicer or trustee. Subject to Section 18.08, Buyer or its designee may, at any time, without the consent of either Seller or Guarantor, engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets to Eligible Assignees, all on terms that Buyer may determine; provided, that no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the

remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

Section 18.10 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by Requirements of Law, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Assets or underlying Mortgaged Properties, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) in the event any Party is legally compelled to make pursuant to deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process by court order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (g) to any actual or prospective Participant, Eligible Assignee or Hedge Counterparty that agrees to comply with this Section 18.10; provided, that, except with respect to the disclosures by Buyer under clause (g) of this Section 18.10, no such disclosure made with respect to any Repurchase Document shall include a copy of such Repurchase Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Repurchase Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure.

Section 18.11 No Implied Waivers; Amendments. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy under the Repurchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy thereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies in the Repurchase Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Application of the Default Rate after an Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate is applied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Repurchase Documents, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Repurchase Documents shall be effective without the signed agreement of Seller and Buyer. Any waiver or consent under the Repurchase Documents shall be effective only if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 18.12 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and sent prepaid by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail, by expedited commercial or postal delivery service, or by facsimile or email if also sent by one of the foregoing, to the address for such Party specified in Annex I or such other address as such Party shall specify from time to time in a notice to the other Party. Any of the foregoing communications shall be effective when delivered, if such delivery occurs a Business Day; otherwise, each such communication shall be effective on the first Business Day following the date of such delivery. A Party receiving a notice that does not

comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.12 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

Section 18.13 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. Any Repurchase Document may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or facsimile. The Parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties.

Section 18.14 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Buyer, any Indemnified Person, Seller, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer, Seller, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents, whether by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that the obligations of Buyer, Seller or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents are solely their respective corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations, as applicable, and that any such recourse or personal liability is hereby expressly waived. This Section 18.14 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 18.15 Protection of Buyer’s Interests in the Purchased Assets; Further Assurances.

(a) Seller shall take such action as necessary to cause the Repurchase Documents and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of Buyer to the Purchased Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect such right, title and interest. Seller shall deliver to Buyer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 18.15.

(b) Seller will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments and documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Repurchase Documents, the Transactions and the Purchased Assets.

(c) If Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations promptly after written request from Buyer, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Repurchase Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Seller shall fail to do so promptly after written request from Buyer, Seller

authorizes Buyer, at the option of Buyer and the expense of Seller, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Repurchase Documents. No Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Repurchase Obligation by Buyer on behalf of Seller. Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by Seller in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will no earlier than six (6) months or later than three (3) months before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of each UCC financing statement filed in connection with to any Repurchase Document or any Transaction, (i) deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement (provided that Buyer may elect to file such continuation statement), and (ii) if requested by Buyer, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, confirming and updating the security interest opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interests hereunder continue to be enforceable and perfected security interests, senior to the rights of any other creditor of Seller, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

(e) Except as provided in the Repurchase Documents, the sole duty of Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be to use reasonable care in the custody, use, operation and preservation of the Purchased Assets in its possession or control. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller or any other Person for any act of Governmental Authority, act of God or other destruction in whole or in part or negligence or wrongful act of custodians or agents selected by Buyer with reasonable care, or Buyer’s failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve any rights of Seller in any Purchased Asset against prior parties, and Seller hereby agrees to take such action. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any Purchased Asset except through proper application of any distributions with respect to the Purchased Assets made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long as Buyer and Custodian shall act in good faith in their handling of the Purchased Assets, Seller waives or is deemed to have waived the defense of impairment of the Purchased Assets by Buyer and Custodian.

Section 18.16 Default Rate. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, Seller shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the amount of all Repurchase Obligations not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents until such Repurchase Obligations are paid or satisfied in full.

Section 18.17 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Seller, on behalf of itself and Guarantor, hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the

Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and Guarantor and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of Seller or Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of Seller or Guarantor at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Guarantor and to set-off against any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by Seller or Guarantor and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Guarantor, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to or for the credit of any Seller or Guarantor, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller or Guarantor to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller and Guarantor to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Person by Seller or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. Seller and Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and the other Indemnified Parties by Seller and Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, and Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set-off provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET-OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER AND GUARANTOR.

Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the affected Seller or Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by Buyer or such Indemnified Person, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. If an amount 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 Party when the amount or obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 18.17 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.17 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.

Section 18.18 Seller’s Waiver of Set-off. Seller hereby waives any right of set-off it may have or to which it may be or become entitled under the Repurchase Documents or

otherwise against Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Indemnified Person or their respective assets or properties.

Section 18.19 Power of Attorney. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets as Buyer deems appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney in fact (a) following a monetary Default, a material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default, to file any such financing statement or statements and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and (b) following any Event of Default, to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 18.19.

Section 18.20 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Buyer may perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, Seller and Affiliates of Seller, including ordering new third party reports, for purposes of, among other things, verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, duties, obligations and specifications made under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its representatives may during normal business hours inspect any properties and examine, inspect and make copies of the books and records of Seller and Affiliates of Seller, the Purchased Asset Documents, the Senior Interest Documents and the Servicing Files. Seller shall make available to Buyer one or more knowledgeable financial or accounting officers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of Seller for the purpose of answering questions of Buyer concerning any of the foregoing. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer by permitting Buyer to conduct due diligence reviews of the Servicing Files. Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based solely on the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Underwriting Package and the representations, warranties, duties, obligations and covenants contained herein, and Buyer may at any time conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including ordering new credit reports and new Appraisals on the underlying Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate and underwrite such Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually acceptable third-party underwriter to do so.

Section 18.22 PATRIOT Act Notice. Buyer hereby notifies Seller that Buyer is required by the PATRIOT Act to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller.

Section 18.23 Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Repurchase Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in the

Repurchase Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person other than the Parties any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Repurchase Documents.

(a) Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable to Buyer to the maximum extent permitted by Requirements of Law for all Repurchase Obligations, (ii) the liability of each Seller (A) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until all Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid in full and the expiration of any applicable preference or similar period pursuant to any Insolvency Law, or at law or in equity, without any claim having been made before the expiration of such period asserting an interest in all or any part of any payment(s) received by Buyer, and (B) until such payment has been made, shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired on the occurrence from time to time of any event, including any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of each Seller, (1) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, modification, supplementation, termination or amendment (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing) of any of the Repurchase Obligations or Repurchase Documents, (2) the failure to give notice to each Seller of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (3) the release, substitution or exchange by Buyer of any Purchased Asset (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by Buyer of any additional collateral or the availability or claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any nonperfection or other impairment of collateral, (4) the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Repurchase Obligations, whether by Buyer or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding affecting any Seller or any other Person who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the Repurchase Obligations or any part thereof, (5) the sale, exchange, waiver, surrender or release of any Purchased Asset, guarantee or other collateral by Buyer, (6) the failure of Buyer to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by Buyer as security for amounts owed by Sellers, or (7) to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 18.24, result in the release or discharge of any or both Sellers from the performance or observance of any Repurchase Obligation, (iii) Buyer shall not be required first to initiate any suit or to exhaust its remedies against any Seller or any other Person to become liable, or against any of the Purchased Assets, in order to enforce the Repurchase Documents and each Seller expressly agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, each Seller shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due under any of the Repurchase Documents, (iv) when making any demand hereunder against any Seller or any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Seller, or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee related thereto or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand, file suit or otherwise pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right offset, or any release of any Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Seller in a respect of which a demand or collection is not made or Sellers not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of

Buyer against Sellers (as used herein, the term “demand” shall include the commencement and continuation of legal proceedings), (v) on disposition by Buyer of any property encumbered by any Purchased Assets, each Seller shall be and shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency, (vi) each Seller waives (A) any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Repurchase Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon any Seller or acceptance of the obligations of any Seller under this Section 18.24, and all such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement, and all dealings between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement, and (B) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Seller with respect to any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Repurchase Documents (except for any notices expressly required under this Agreement or under any other Repurchase Document), and (vii) each Seller shall continue to be liable under this Section 18.24 without regard to (A) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Repurchase Documents, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (B) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Seller against Buyer, or (C) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Seller except for any notices expressly required under this Agreement or under any other Repurchase Document) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Seller for any amounts owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Repurchase Documents, or of Sellers under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

(b) Each Seller shall remain fully obligated under this Agreement notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Seller and without notice to or further assent by any Seller, any demand by Buyer for payment of any amounts owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Repurchase Documents may be rescinded by Buyer and any the payment of any such amounts may be continued, and the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing of any Repurchase Obligation), and this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with its terms, as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Buyer shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents, or any property subject thereto.

(c) To the extent that any Seller (the “Paying Seller”) pays more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the Paying Seller shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the other Seller that has not paid its proportionate share; provided, that the provisions of this Section 18.24 shall not limit the duties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of any Seller to Buyer, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Paying Seller hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the Paying Seller by Buyer, the Paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against the other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right of setoff held by Buyer, nor shall the Paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the other Seller in respect of payments made by the Paying Seller hereunder, until all Repurchase Obligations are paid in full.

FORM OF ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
(Deposit Account and Securities Account)

Account Control Agreement dated as of , 201 (the “Agreement”), among [Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2, L.L.C., Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2-A, L.L.C. and/or applicable pledge agent] (“Secured Party”), [identify underlying borrower] (“Pledgor”), and [identify custodian] (the “Custodian”).

WHEREAS, the Custodian maintains the [escrow and reserve account and securities account] for the benefit of by the Pledgor; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms the [identify security agreement] between Secured Party and Pledgor (as amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), Pledgor has granted to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral Accounts and the Collateral (each as defined below) to secure the obligations of Pledgor described in the Security Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Secured Party, Pledgor and the Custodian are entering into this Agreement to provide for the control of the Collateral;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, it is agreed as follows:

1. Collateral Accounts. All Collateral (other than cash Collateral) shall be identified and segregated on the Custodian’s books and records under the name “[Name of Pledgor] for the benefit of [Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2, L.L.C., Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2-A, L.L.C. and/or applicable pledge agent]” (the “Securities Account”). The Custodian shall treat all non-cash Collateral as financial assets under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in The State of New York (the “UCC”), and shall credit such Collateral to the Securities Account. The Custodian represents that the Securities Account is a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC). The Custodian shall identify and segregate in a separate deposit account any cash Collateral and hold it under the name “[Name of Pledgor] for the benefit of [Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2, L.L.C., Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2-A, L.L.C. and/or applicable pledge agent]” (the “Deposit Account” and, together with the Securities Account, the “Collateral Accounts”). The Custodian represents that the Deposit Account is a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC). All Collateral consisting of cash or funds, whether posted as initial Collateral or Collateral in the form of Proceeds (as defined in Section 3 below) shall be held in the Deposit Account.

2. Account Control.

2.1 Security Interest. This Agreement is intended by Secured Party and Pledgor to grant “control” of the Collateral Accounts to Secured Party for purposes of perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in such Collateral pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC, and the

Custodian hereby acknowledges that it has been advised of Pledgor’s grant to Secured Party of a security interest in the Collateral Accounts and all financial assets, funds and other property credited thereto or held therein from time to time (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Custodian will at all times comply with entitlement orders or instructions (within the meaning of Sections 8-102, 9-104 and 9-106 of the UCC) received from Secured Party with respect to the Collateral Accounts, including without limitation instructions directing the disposition of funds held in the Deposit Account, without further consent of the Pledgor or any other person.

2.2 Control by Pledgor. Unless and until the Custodian receives written notice from Secured Party pursuant to Section 2.3 below instructing the Custodian that Secured Party is exercising its right to exclusive control over the Collateral Accounts, which notice is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”) the Custodian shall take all actions with respect to the Collateral in the Collateral Accounts upon the joint instructions of Secured Party and Pledgor.

2.3 Control by Secured Party.

(i) Secured Party agrees to provide the Custodian, in the form of Exhibit B attached (as may be amended from time to time), the names and signatures of authorized parties who may give notices, instructions, or entitlement orders concerning the Collateral Accounts. Other means of notice or instruction may be used provided that Secured Party and the Custodian agree to appropriate security procedures. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Custodian shall thereafter follow only the instructions or entitlement orders of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral Accounts and shall comply with any entitlement order or instructions (within the meaning of Sections 8-102, 9-104 and 9-106 of the UCC) received from Secured Party with respect thereto, including without limitation instructions directing the disposition of funds held in the Deposit Account, without further consent of Pledgor or any other person, and Custodian will not comply with entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Collateral originated by Pledgor without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

(ii) The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with entitlement orders or instructions originated by Secured Party concerning the Collateral Accounts. The Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination to verify the existence of an event of default or compliance by either Secured Party or Pledgor with applicable law or the Security Agreement, and the Custodian shall be fully protected in complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control whether or not Pledgor may allege that no such event of default or other like event exists.

3. Distributions. The Custodian shall, without further action by Pledgor or Secured Party, credit to Deposit Account all interest, dividends and other income received by the Custodian on the Collateral (collectively, “Proceeds”) as additional Collateral.

4. Release of Collateral; Release of Security Interest.

4.1 Release of Collateral. Subject to Section 2.3 hereof, Custodian will release all, or any designated portion, of the Collateral held in the Collateral Accounts as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving written instructions or entitlement orders from Secured Party and Pledgor authorizing such release.

4.2 Release of Security Interest. Secured Party agrees to notify the Custodian promptly in writing when all obligations of Pledgor to Secured Party secured by the Security Agreement have been fully paid and satisfied (and any commitment of Secured Party to advance further amounts or credit thereunder has been terminated) or Secured Party otherwise no longer claims any interest in the Collateral in the Collateral Accounts, whichever is sooner; at which time the Custodian shall have no further liabilities or responsibilities hereunder and the Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate.

5. Duties and Services of Custodian.

(i) Custodian agrees that it is acting as a “securities intermediary,” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, with respect to the Securities Account and the Collateral credited thereto. The Custodian agrees, with respect to the Deposit Account, that it is acting as a “bank,” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC.

(ii) The Custodian shall have no duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to the Collateral Accounts except as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable or responsible for anything done or omitted to be done by it in good faith and in the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

(iii) Pledgor shall indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless with regard to any losses or liabilities of the Custodian (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) imposed on or incurred by the Custodian arising out of any action or omission of the Custodian under this Agreement, except for any such losses or liabilities caused by the bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct of the Custodian.

WHEREAS, the Custodian maintains the [escrow and reserve account and securities account] for the benefit of by the Pledgor; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms the [identify security agreement] between Secured Party and Pledgor (as amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), Pledgor has granted to Secured Party a security interest in the Collateral Account and the Collateral (each as defined below) to secure the obligations of Pledgor described in the Security Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Secured Party, Pledgor and the Custodian are entering into this Agreement to provide for the control of the Collateral;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, it is agreed as follows:

1. Collateral Account. All Collateral shall be identified and segregated on the Custodian’s books and records under the name “[Name of Pledgor] for the benefit of [Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2, L.L.C., Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2-A, L.L.C. and/or applicable pledge agent]” (the “Collateral Account”). The Custodian shall treat all Collateral, including without limitation cash, as financial assets under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in The State of New York (the “UCC”), and shall credit the Collateral to the Collateral Account. The Custodian represents that the Collateral Account is a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC).

2. Account Control.

2.1 Security Interest. This Agreement is intended by Secured Party and Pledgor to grant “control” of the Collateral Account to Secured Party for purposes of perfection of Secured Party’s security interest in such Collateral pursuant to Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC, and the Custodian hereby acknowledges that it has been advised of Pledgor’s grant to Secured Party of a security interest in the Collateral Account and all financial assets credited thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Collateral”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Custodian will at all times comply with entitlement orders (within the meaning of Sections 8-102(a)(8) and 9-106 of the UCC) received from Secured Party with respect to the Collateral Accounts, without further consent of the Pledgor or any other person.

2.2 Control by Pledgor. Unless and until the Custodian receives written notice from Secured Party pursuant to Section 2.3 below instructing the Custodian that Secured Party is exercising its right to exclusive control over the Collateral Account, which notice is substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”) the Custodian shall

take all actions with respect to the Collateral in the Collateral Account upon the joint instructions of Secured Party and Pledgor.

2.3 Control by Secured Party.

(i) Secured Party agrees to provide the Custodian, in the form of Exhibit B attached (as may be amended from time to time), the names and signatures of authorized parties who may give notices, instructions, or entitlement orders concerning the Collateral Account. Other means of notice or instruction may be used provided that Secured Party and the Custodian agree to appropriate security procedures. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Custodian shall thereafter follow only the entitlement orders of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral Account and shall comply with any entitlement order (within the meaning of Sections 8-102(a)(8) and 9-106 of the UCC) received from Secured Party with respect thereto, without further consent of Pledgor or any other person, and Custodian will not comply with entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Collateral originated by Pledgor without the prior written consent of Secured Party.

(ii) The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with entitlement orders originated by Secured Party concerning the Collateral Account. The Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination to verify the existence of an event of default or compliance by either Secured Party or Pledgor with applicable law or the Security Agreement, and the Custodian shall be fully protected in complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control whether or not Pledgor may allege that no such event of default or other like event exists.

3. Distributions. The Custodian shall, without further action by Pledgor or Secured Party, credit to Collateral Account all interest, dividends and other income received by the Custodian on the Collateral as additional Collateral.

4. Release of Collateral; Release of Security Interest.

Subject to Section 2.3 hereof, Custodian will release all, or any designated portion, of the Collateral held in the Collateral Account as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving written instructions or entitlement orders from Secured Party and Pledgor authorizing such release.

4.2 Release of Security Interest. Secured Party agrees to notify the Custodian promptly in writing when all obligations of Pledgor to Secured Party secured by the Security Agreement have been fully paid and satisfied (and any commitment of Secured Party to advance further amounts or credit thereunder has been terminated) or Secured Party otherwise no longer claims any interest in the Collateral in the Collateral Account, whichever is sooner; at which time the Custodian shall have no further liabilities or responsibilities hereunder and the Custodian’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate.

5. Duties and Services of Custodian.

(i) Custodian agrees that it is acting as a “securities intermediary,” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, with respect to the Collateral Account and the Collateral credited thereto.

(ii) The Custodian shall have no duties, obligations, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to the Collateral Account except as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Custodian shall not be liable or responsible for anything done or omitted to be done by it in good faith and in the absence of bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

8. Fees and Expenses of Custodian; Subordination of Security Interest. Pledgor hereby agrees to pay and reimburse the Custodian for any advances, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and disbursements that may be paid or incurred by the Custodian in connection with this Agreement or the arrangement contemplated hereby. The Custodian agrees that any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other right that the Custodian may have with respect to the Collateral or the Collateral Account shall be subordinate to the security interest of Secured Party therein.
