2. Purchase and Sale of the Mortgage Assets.

The Seller agrees to sell to the Issuer, and the Issuer agrees to purchase from the Seller all of Seller’s Mortgage Assets (as identified on Exhibit A hereto) at an aggregate purchase price of U.S.$540,471,000 plus 100% of the Class F Notes, the Class G Notes and the Preferred Shares (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). Immediately prior to such sale, the Seller hereby conveys and assigns all right, title and interest it may have in its Initial Mortgage Assets to the Issuer. The sale and transfer of the Initial Mortgage Assets to the Issuer is inclusive of all rights and obligations from the Closing Date forward, with respect to such Initial Mortgage Assets, provided, that the sale and transfer of Initial Mortgage Assets that are Pari Passu Participations are made subject to the rights and obligations of the related Companion Participation Holder under the related Pari Passu Participation Agreement, and provided however, it expressly excludes any conveyance of any Excluded Fees and any Retained Interest which shall remain the property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Issuer. The Issuer shall cause any Excluded Fees and any Retained Interest to be paid to the Seller (or the Seller’s designee) promptly upon receipt in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Servicing Agreement and the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller is not transferring any obligation to fund any Future Funding Amounts under the Pari Passu Participated Mortgage Loans, all of which will remain the obligation of the party specified under the related Pari Passu Participation Agreement. Delivery or transfer of the Initial Mortgage Assets shall be made on January 28, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), at the time and in the manner agreed upon by the parties. Upon receipt of evidence of the delivery or transfer of the Initial Mortgage Assets to the Issuer

or its designee, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller the Purchase Price in the manner agreed upon by the Seller and the Issuer.

(b) From time to time, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the Permitted Funded Companion Participation Acquisition Period, the Seller may present Funded Companion Participations to the Issuer for purchase hereunder. If the conditions set forth in Section 3 below are satisfied with respect to the Funded Companion Participations, the Issuer may purchase and the Seller shall sell and assign without recourse, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, to the Issuer, but subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to (i) the Funded Companion Participations identified on the schedule attached to the related subsequent transfer instrument (a “Subsequent Transfer Instrument”), which Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall be in the form of Exhibit K to the Indenture and delivered by the Seller on the date of such sale (each, a “Subsequent Seller Transfer Date”), and (ii) all amounts received or receivable on the Funded Companion Participations, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, after the related Subsequent Seller Transfer Date (other than amounts due prior to the related Subsequent Seller Transfer Date). Such sale and assignment of the Funded Companion Participations to the Issuer is inclusive of all rights and obligations from the Subsequent Seller Transfer Date forward, with respect to such Funded Companion Participations, provided however, it expressly excludes any conveyance of any Excluded Fees and any Retained Interest which shall remain the property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to the Issuer hereunder. The purchase price with respect to each Funded Companion Participation (the “Funded Companion Participations Purchase Price”) shall be at a price no greater than the outstanding principal balance of such Funded Companion Participation, as set forth in the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument.

The sale to the Issuer of the Funded Companion Participations identified on the schedule attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall be absolute and is intended by the Seller and the Issuer to constitute and to be treated as an absolute sale of the Funded Companion Participations by the Seller to the Issuer, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others from the Seller to the Issuer and the Funded Companion Participations shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Seller. Each schedule of a Funded Companion Participation pursuant to a Subsequent Transfer Instrument is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement.

(c) Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall, or shall at the expense of the Seller cause a third party vendor to, (1) complete (to the extent necessary) and submit for recording (in favor of the Issuer) in the appropriate public recording office (a) each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in clause (i)(8) of the definition of “Mortgage Asset File” in the Indenture which has not yet been submitted for recording and (b) each assignment of assignment of leases and rents referred to in clause (i)(12) of the definition of “Mortgage Asset File” in the Indenture (if not otherwise included in the related Assignment of Mortgage) which has not yet been submitted for recordation; and (2) complete (to the extent necessary) and file in the appropriate public filing office each UCC assignment of financing statement referred to in clause (i)(13) of the definition of “Mortgage Asset File” in the Indenture which has not yet been submitted for filing or recording. In the event that any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, the Seller shall promptly prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure or cause the curing of such defect, as the case may be, and shall thereafter deliver the substitute or corrected document to or at the direction of the Issuer (or any subsequent owner of the affected Mortgage Asset, including, without limitation, the Trustee) for recording or filing, as appropriate, at the Seller’s expense. In the event that the Seller receives the original recorded or filed copy, the Seller shall, or shall cause a third party vendor or any other party under its control to, promptly upon receipt of the original recorded or filed copy (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the Custodian, with evidence of filing or recording thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of leases and rents or assignment of assignment of leases and rents, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations hereunder of the Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Issuer (or the Custodian) of a copy of the recorded original of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage, assignment of leases and rents or assignment of assignment of leases and rents.

(l) Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to provide procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Assets to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Assets (the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the Offering Memorandum and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Memorandum.

9. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN TITLE 14 OF ARTICLE 5 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any court in the State of New York located in the City and County of New York, and any appellate court hearing appeals from the courts mentioned above, in any action, suit or proceeding brought against it and to or in connection with this Agreement or the transaction contemplated hereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard or determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in any inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that the subject matter thereof may not be litigated in or by such courts.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall not seek and hereby waive the right to any review of the judgment of any such court by any court of any other nation or jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of such judgment.

(d) The Issuer irrevocably appoints United Agent Group Inc., as its agent for service of process in New York in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Issuer agrees that service of such process upon such agent shall constitute personal service of such process upon it.

(e) The Seller irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing by certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivery requiring proof of delivery of copies of such process to it at the address set forth in Section 8 hereof.

10. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

11. Limited Recourse Agreement.

All obligations of the Issuer arising hereunder or in connection herewith are limited in recourse to the Collateral and to the extent the proceeds of the Collateral, when applied in accordance with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to meet the obligations of the Issuer hereunder in full, the Issuer shall have no further liability in respect of any such outstanding obligations and any obligations of, and claims against, the Issuer, arising hereunder or in connection herewith, shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. The obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in connection herewith will be solely the corporate obligations of the Issuer and the Seller will not have recourse to any of the directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Issuer with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby or in connection herewith. This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

12. Assignment and Assumption.

With respect to the Mortgage Assets that are subject to a Pari Passu Participation Agreement, the parties hereto intend that the provisions of this Section 12 serve as an assignment and assumption agreement between the Seller, as the assignor, and the Issuer, as the assignee. Accordingly, the Seller hereby (and in accordance with and subject to all other applicable provisions of this Agreement) assigns, grants, sells, transfers, delivers, sets over, and conveys to the Issuer all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and arising out of the related Pari Passu Participation Agreement and the Issuer hereby accepts (subject to applicable provisions of this Agreement) the foregoing assignment and assumes all of the rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to related Pari Passu Participation Agreement from and after the Closing Date. In addition, the Issuer acknowledges that each of such Mortgage Assets will be serviced by, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement (as defined in the related Pari Passu Participation Agreement).
