Agreements are acknowledged as reasonably acceptable, although modifications to account for
the implementation of the Pledge Adjustment Provisions may be required);

Pledge Adjustment Provisions, although if after then not as a condition to such
implementation), execution and delivery by such Persons of an acknowledgment and agreement

claim or security interest in the Pledged Funding Commitments; Buyer shall upon Seller’s

without limitation, the “Transaction Conditions Precedent” specified in Section
3(b) of this Agreement), one or more proposals to enter into a Transaction may be requested by

Prices (excluding Other Price Components) for all Transactions purchased hereunder and outstanding
at any one time (i.e., which shall not then have not been repurchased by Seller) shall not exceed
the Facility Amount. Seller shall give Buyer written notice of each proposed Transaction and Buyer
shall inform Seller of its determination with respect to any assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by
Seller solely in accordance with Exhibit VIII attached hereto. Buyer shall have the right
to review all Eligible Loans proposed to be sold to Buyer in any Transaction and to conduct its own
due diligence investigation of such Eligible Loans as Buyer determines in good faith. Within five
(5) Business Days after Seller’s certification to Buyer that Seller has delivered to Buyer all
Diligence Materials and other required documentation with respect to any Loan(s) Seller requests
Buyer to consider for purchase under the terms of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to provide Seller
with Buyer’s determination of the completeness of the Diligence Materials including Buyer’s request
of any additional or missing documentation with respect to such Loan(s), if any. Seller shall

shall be not less than two (2) Business Days following the approval of an Eligible Loan by Buyer in
accordance with Exhibit VIII hereto, the related Purchased Loan shall be transferred to Buyer or
its agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller. To the extent Buyer
enters into a Transaction with Seller with respect to a Purchased Loan which is an Eligible Loan of
the type described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof (i.e., such Eligible Loan does not
satisfy the characteristics described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition thereof), then such
Purchased Loan shall be deemed to be an Eligible Loan for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, provided each of the Transaction
Conditions Precedent (as hereinafter defined) shall have been satisfied (or waived by Buyer), Buyer
shall promptly deliver to Seller a written confirmation in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto of

Percentage and Purchase Price for each such Purchased Loan, (iii) the CF Sweep Percentage, Capital

Agreement. With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the

Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the
Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify
Seller of such rate for such period on the Reset Date. For purposes of this Section 3(b),

to any proposed Transaction if:
(1) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be
continuing as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction;
(2) Seller shall have certified to Buyer in writing the acquisition cost of such
Purchased Loan (including therein reasonable supporting documentation required by Buyer, if
any);
(3) the representations and warranties made by Seller in any of the Transaction
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for
such Transaction;
28
(4) Buyer shall have received the Diligence Materials and completed to Buyer’s
satisfaction its due diligence review and financial modeling with respect to the loan(s)

Transaction documents and other documents and opinions specified in Section 7 of
this Agreement;

Seller in such Transaction are Eligible Loans and (B) obtained internal credit approval for
the inclusion of such Eligible Loan as a Purchased Loan in a Transaction;
(7) none of the following shall have occurred and/or be continuing:
(i) an event or events shall have occurred resulting in the effective absence
of a “repo market” or comparable “lending market” for financing mortgage securities
or mortgage loans or an event or events shall have occurred resulting in Buyer not
being able to finance any Transactions and/or Purchased Loans through the “repo
market” or “lending market” with traditional counterparties at rates that would have
been available prior to the occurrence of such event or events; or
(ii) an event or events shall have occurred resulting in the effective absence
of a “securities market” for securities backed by mortgage loans or an event or
events shall have occurred resulting in Buyer not being able to sell securities
backed by mortgage loans at prices which would have been available prior to such
event or events; or
(iii) there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the “repo market”
or comparable “lending market” or in the financial condition of Buyer which effects
(or can reasonably be expected to effect) materially and adversely the ability of
Buyer to fund its obligations under this Agreement;
(8) the purchase by Buyer from Seller of the Purchased Loans shall be completed prior
to the Commitment Expiration Date and shall not result in non-compliance with the Facility

enforceability opinion of Seller’s counsel, in such form reasonably acceptable to Buyer,
including an opinion that Buyer has a perfected security interest in the Purchased Loan, the
Purchased Loan Documents and such collateral as is the subject to the Transaction, prior to
any other claim or interest, subject to reasonable and customary exceptions, qualifications
and assumptions; provided, that such opinions shall not be required with respect to any
individual Purchase Date to the extent Seller shall have delivered on the date of this
Agreement or on a previous Purchase Date opinions of counsel satisfactory to
29
Buyer with respect to such matters;
(10) there shall not have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition
of Seller which effects (or can reasonably be expected to effect) materially and adversely
the ability of Seller to fund its obligations under this Agreement;
(11) the Key Person shall not have resigned from or been removed from, or is no longer
allowed, to continue in the management of Seller (a “Key Person Removal”); provided,
however, that if a Key Person Removal occurs, the condition in this clause (11) shall
nevertheless continue to be satisfied so long as, within ninety (90) days after such Key
Person Removal, Buyer reasonably approves the individual(s) acting or to act as the
manager(s) of Seller and the scope of authority and duties of such individual(s); and
(12) Buyer shall have determined in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith) that,
after giving effect to any Transaction the Average Collateral LTV shall not exceed 80%.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall any
Transaction hereunder be consummated until such time as Buyer has received all of the following,

Repurchase Price for such Transaction, including (subject to Section 3(g)) the Exit
Fee, if any, and any accrued Availability Fee, and any other amounts payable under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3(j) and Section 3(k) of
this Agreement) with respect to such Transaction against transfer to Seller or its agent of
such Purchased Loans, and
(iv) if such Early Repurchase Date occurs while a Hyperamortization Condition exists,

any repurchase of such Purchased Loan, and shall be applied as a partial prepayment of the
Repurchase Prices of all other Purchased Loans that have not been repurchased, on a pro rata
basis in accordance with the relative outstanding Repurchase Prices of such remaining
Purchased Loans (for example, a $100 Hyperamortization Amount would be applied, in a case
involving two remaining Purchased Loans with Repurchase Prices of $300 and $200,
respectively, as a $60 prepayment of the Repurchase Price of the $300 Purchased Loan and a
$40 prepayment of the Repurchase Price of the $200 Repurchased Loan).
Such notice shall set forth the Early Repurchase Date and shall identify with particularity

(e) On the Repurchase Date, termination of the Transactions will be effected by transfer to
Seller or its agent of the Purchased Loans and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and
not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to
an account of Buyer.
(f) Seller shall pay to Buyer a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount
equal to $800,000, which Commitment Fee is deemed fully earned by Buyer and

shall be required to be paid by Seller, and (II) in the event Draw Fees in the aggregate amount of
$500,000 have not been paid by Seller prior to the earlier of the Initial Commitment Expiration
Date or (if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Accelerated Repurchase Date
(the “Draw Fee Settlement Date”), Seller shall, and hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer
to, pay to Buyer on the Draw Fee Settlement Date a fee (the “Underutilization Fee”) equal
to the difference between $500,000 and the aggregate amount of the Draw Fees previously paid by
Seller to Buyer, in which event no further Draw Fees shall be required to be paid by Seller, which
Underutilization Fee shall be deemed fully earned by Buyer and nonrefundable on the date the same
is due. In addition, commencing on April 1, 2007 and continuing on the first day of each calendar
quarter occurring thereafter (i.e., on the first day of each of July, October, January and April
thereafter), Seller shall pay to Buyer a quarterly availability fee (the “Availability
Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.0625% of the difference between (A) the Facility Amount and (B)

for all Purchased Loans outstanding during the preceding calendar quarter, each which quarterly
Availability Fee shall be deemed fully earned by Buyer and nonrefundable on the date the same is
due.

Purchased Loan, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Exit Fee applicable to such Purchased Loan (or to the
portion of the Repurchase Price prepaid on an Early Payment Date) as part of the Repurchase Price
owed with respect to such Purchased Loan; provided, that (i) Seller shall not be required
to pay an Exit Fee with respect to such Purchased Loan if, at the time of the Early Repurchase Date
or Repurchase Date, such Purchased Loan is sold by Seller through a commercial mortgage backed
securitization transaction underwritten and placed by the Buyer or an Affiliate of the Buyer as
provided in Section 3(n) hereof, (ii) Seller shall not be required to pay the Exit Fee with
respect to the termination of all of the outstanding Transactions on the Early Repurchase Date or
Repurchase Date if the source of funds for the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price for all
such Transactions on such date arises from an unsecured recourse credit line, equity or other
source (including, without limitation, any commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction,
collateralized debt obligation or similar capital markets transaction) that is not a repurchase
facility, secured warehouse credit facility or similar secured financing facility entered into by
Seller and/or any of its Affiliates with any other lender or any purchaser under a repurchase or
similar facility, provided that Seller or its Affiliates do not within four (4) months
thereafter refinance any such repurchased Purchased Loan pursuant to a secured credit, repurchase
or similar facility (if Seller does so, the Exit Fee shall immediately become due and owing with
respect to all such repurchased Purchased Loans and an obligation
32
of the Seller notwithstanding the Seller’s prior repurchase of such Purchased Loans), (iii)
Seller shall not be required to pay the Exit Fee with respect to such Purchased Loan with respect
to which an Early Repurchase Date has occurred due to a permitted prepayment of such Purchased Loan
by the underlying borrower thereof pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Purchased Loan,
(iv) Seller shall not be required to pay an Exit Fee with respect to any Purchased Loan if such
payment of the Repurchase Price is made (x) to satisfy a Margin Call or Capital Call pursuant to
Section 4(a) and no Margin Call Deficit or Capital Call Deficit continues to exist as a
result of such repurchase or (y) to end a CF Sweep Condition and no CF Sweep Condition continues to
exist as a result of such repurchase, and (v) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Seller shall not be required to pay an Exit Fee with respect to any Purchased Loan
outstanding as of the Repurchase Date in the event the Commitment Expiration Date is not extended
in accordance with the terms of Section 3(m) hereof.
(h) If prior to the first (1st) day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any
Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Pricing Rate Period, or (ii)
the LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as determined and certified by Buyer) of making or maintaining
Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall give telecopy or telephonic notice
thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with
respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate
Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the
Alternative Rate.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer
to effect Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer
hereunder to enter into new Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be
canceled, and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative
Rate Transactions, for which the Pricing Rate shall be the Alternative Rate, on the last day of the
then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any
such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current
Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if
any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(k) of this Agreement.
(j) Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any loss or expense (not to
include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) which Buyer may sustain or incur (other than as a result of Buyer’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any
Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) of a
termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a
Remittance Date (including, without limitation, all Breakage Costs) and any other out of pocket
loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions
hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) or
(iii) default by Seller in selling Eligible Loans after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed
Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Loans in accordance
33
with the provisions of this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and
expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller
and shall be conclusive and binding on Seller in the absence of manifest error, and Seller shall
pay all such amounts to Buyer upon demand thereof.
(k) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) | shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Loan or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for net income taxes, franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, branch profits and similar taxes and any changes in the rate of tax on Buyer’s overall net income); | ||
(ii) | shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or | ||
(iii) | shall impose on Buyer any other condition; |
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer
deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into,
continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction
Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its
demand and presentment of a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (but only to the
extent that Buyer is requesting similar amounts from other similarly situated sellers or
borrowers). Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such
additional amounts.
(l) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of
Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which
Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking
into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable
34
business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller
of a written request therefor (including a reasonably detailed calculation of such amounts), Seller
shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction
(but only to the extent that Buyer is requesting similar amounts from other similarly situated
sellers or borrowers). Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence
of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.
(m) The Commitment Expiration Date shall be the Initial Commitment Expiration Date;
provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if
Seller, not earlier than 30 days prior to the Initial Commitment Expiration Date and not later than
10 days prior to the Initial Commitment Expiration Date, makes a written request to Buyer for an
extension of the Commitment Expiration Date, Buyer may at its sole option exercised in its sole
discretion, elect by written notice to Seller to extend the Commitment Expiration Date to be the
date which is 364 days after the Initial Commitment Expiration Date (the “Extended Commitment
Expiration Date”). The Commitment Expiration Date shall not be extended as provided above
unless and until Buyer makes such written election to extend, and it is understood and agreed that
Buyer may grant or deny Seller’s request for an extension of the Commitment Expiration Date in
Buyer’s sole discretion.
(n) Seller, on its behalf and on behalf of the Sponsor, agrees that Sponsor and Seller shall
engage Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or another Affiliate of Buyer (collectively,
“Greenwich”) designated by it as the lead manager and bookrunner on any future commercial
mortgage-backed securitization transactions, collateralized debt obligations or similar capital
markets transactions intended to finance any Purchased Loans or the repurchase thereof,
provided that (i) Greenwich or its Affiliates are in a position to execute such
transactions on a basis reasonably satisfactory to Seller, as reasonably determined by Seller in
good faith, and (ii) the terms offered by Greenwich shall be reasonably within prevailing market
standards for such transactions. Seller also agrees to give strong consideration to entering into
an exclusive arrangement with Greenwich to be primary bookrunner for such transactions, and will,
in fact, select Greenwich as primary bookrunner unless material overriding business considerations
require a different selection. Sponsor and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
coordinate with the transaction schedules of Greenwich in order to include those Purchased Loans
deemed appropriate by Sponsor and Seller for securitization in transactions scheduled by Greenwich.
(o) In the event that, at any time prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, Seller believes
that any Availability exists with respect to any Purchased Loan, Seller may request that Buyer
determine whether such Availability exists, by a written notice to Buyer setting forth Seller’s
basis for such Availability. Within five (5) Business Days after Buyer receives Seller’s request,
Seller shall notify Seller whether or not any such Availability exists, as determined by Buyer in
its sole business discretion, exercised in good faith, and, if so, the amount of such Availability.
Seller may, prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, and provided no Hyperamortization Condition
exists, obtain a further advance from Buyer (such advance, a “Subsequent Advance”) with
respect to such Purchased Loan, provided that the following
35
conditions precedent to any such Subsequent Advance shall have been satisfied (or waived by
Buyer);
(i) | Seller shall have requested the Subsequent Advance by not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Buyer specifying the amount of the requested Subsequent Advance and the Purchased Loan to which such requested Subsequent Advance relates; | ||
(ii) | the requested Subsequent Advance may not be less than $250,000; | ||
(iii) | the requested Subsequent Advance with respect to such Purchased Loan shall not be in excess of the Availability with respect to such Purchased Loan; | ||
(iv) | Seller shall have paid to Buyer the Draw Fee with respect to the Subsequent Advance (which amount may be held back from funds remitted to Seller by Buyer); | ||
(v) | no Default or Event of Default under the Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of the Subsequent Advance; | ||
(vi) | the representations and warranties made by Seller in any of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Subsequent Advance; | ||
(vii) | the date the Subsequent Advance is made shall be prior to the Commitment Expiration Date and shall not, after giving effect to such Subsequent Advance, result in the aggregate of the Purchase Prices for all Purchased Loans outstanding after such Subsequent Advance is made exceeding the Facility Amount; | ||
(viii) | no CF Sweep Condition, Capital Call Deficit nor Margin Call Deficit under this Agreement shall exist as of the date of the Subsequent Advance; and | ||
(ix) | there shall not have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition of Seller which effects (or can reasonably be expected to effect) materially and adversely the ability of Seller to fund its obligations under this Agreement. |
4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE
(a) Subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, if at any time, any of the following
shall occur: (i) the Market Value of any Purchased Loan shall be less than Buyer’s Margin Amount
for such Purchased Loan (each, a “Margin Call Deficit”), (ii) a Credit Loss shall occur
with respect to any Purchased Loan, or (iii) the Market Value of any Purchased Loan shall be less
than the Capital Call Amount of such Purchased Loan (each, a “Capital Call Deficit”), then
Buyer may by notice to Seller (each notice of a Margin Call Deficit or Credit Loss is herein
36
referred to as a “Margin Call”; a notice of a Capital Call Deficit is herein referred
to as a “Capital Call”) require Seller to cure such Margin Call Deficit, Credit Loss or
Capital Call Deficit by transferring to Buyer, (A) cash or (B) additional collateral acceptable to
Buyer in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith (such cash or additional collateral paid by
Seller to Buyer is herein referred to as “Additional Collateral”), so that the sum obtained
by adding the Market Value of such Purchased Loan, plus the Market Value of such Additional
Collateral shall equal or exceed the Deficit Cure Amount for such Purchased Loan as of the same
date; provided, however, that if and so long as the Call Support Condition exists,
Buyer shall not be required to make a Margin Call or Capital Call hereunder on account of a Call
Deficit unless and until the Call Support Condition no longer exists. Seller’s failure to cure any
Margin Call Deficit, Credit Loss or Capital Call Deficit as required by the preceding sentence
prior to expiration of the time period set forth in the first sentence of Section 4(b)
below (in the case of a Margin Call) or the second sentence of Section 4(b) below (in the
case of a Capital Call) shall constitute an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents and
shall entitle Buyer to exercise its remedies under Section 14 of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the liquidation remedy provided for in Section 14(iv) of this
Agreement).
(b) If any Margin Call is given by Buyer under Section 4(a) of this Agreement, Seller
shall transfer Additional Collateral as provided in Section 4(a) by no later than one (1)
Business Days after the giving of such Margin Call notice. If any Capital Call is given by Buyer
under Section 4(a) of this Agreement, Seller shall transfer Additional Collateral as
provided in Section 4(a) of this Agreement by no later than ten (10) Business Days after
the giving of such Capital Call notice; provided, however, that: (i) if a Capital
Call is made with respect to any Purchased Loan prior to the date six (6) months prior to the
Repurchase Date, and Seller requests, in a written notice to Buyer given not later than five (5)
Business Days after the giving of a Capital Call notice, that Buyer make a determination whether
the “Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition” (as defined below) will be met and Buyer makes such
determination (which determination, if made, shall be made in a written notice from Buyer to Seller
and shall not be deemed made in the absence of such written notice), Seller’s obligation to
transfer Additional Collateral to cure a Capital Call Deficit with respect to a Purchased Loan
shall be deferred (each, a “Capital Call Deferral”); if, and (subject to clause (ii) of
this proviso) so long as, (A) no Margin Call Deficit exists with respect to such Purchased Loan,
and no Capital Call Deficit or Margin Call Deficit exists with respect to any other Purchased Loan,
and no Event of Default exists, and (B) Buyer determines, in Buyer’s sole discretion, exercised in
good faith, that the aggregate excess Income (i.e., the excess Income after application thereof to
the Price Differential and the other obligations of Seller in accordance with Section 5 of
this Agreement, exclusive, however, of Principal Payments) to be generated from all other Purchased
Loans (i.e., all Purchased Loans other than the Purchased Loan to which such Capital Call is made)
during the six (6) month period immediately following such Capital Call will, when added to the
Market Value of such Purchased Loan, equal or exceed the Deficit Cure Amount for such Purchased
Loan (the “Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition”), it being understood that if a Capital
Call Deferral occurs, (X) the related Capital Call Deficit shall not be deemed to have been waived
and shall nevertheless continue to exist and (Y) and a CF Sweep Condition shall continue to exist
on account of such Capital Call Deficit, unless and until the Capital Call Deficit is satisfied
with Additional Collateral or pursuant to applications of funds to satisfy the same pursuant to
Section 5; and (ii) without limiting Buyer’s other rights and remedies or operating to
extend any other applicable time periods hereunder (including any time periods for notice and cure
or applicable
37
to any Margin Call or Event of Default), (A) any Capital Call Deferral shall automatically end
if Buyer makes any Margin Call or if an Event of Default occurs, and (B) such Capital Call Deferral
shall end at Buyer’s option, and Buyer may give a further Capital Call notice with respect to the
Capital Call Deficit subject to such Capital Call Deferral (indicating that the Capital Call
Deferral is ended), and the provisions of this sentence and Section 4(a) of this Agreement
shall apply to such further Capital Call without giving effect to the provisions of clause (i) of
this proviso in the event Buyer makes a Capital Call with respect to any other Purchased Loan or
Buyer determines, in good faith, that the Excess Cash Flow Sufficiency Condition will not be
satisfied. Notice required pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Agreement may be given by any
means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The failure of Buyer on any one or more occasions to exercise its rights under
Section 4(a) of this Agreement shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which
this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date. Buyer and
Seller agree that any failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under Section 4(a)
of this Agreement shall not limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by
law or in any way create additional rights for such party.
(c) Any Additional Collateral transferred to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) of this
Agreement with respect to any Purchased Loans shall be attributed to the Transaction relating to
such Purchased Loans.
5. INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
(a) The Cash Management Account shall be established at the Depository concurrently with the

Purchased Loan in respect of which such Principal Payment has been received, until the
Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan has been reduced to the Target Prices for such
Purchased Loan;

Purchased Loans has been reduced to the Target Price for such Purchased Loans, respectively
as of the date of such payment (as determined by Buyer after giving effect to such payment);
and
(iv) fourth, as follows: (A) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and no CF Sweep Condition exists, the remainder of such Principal Payment shall
be either (1) if no Hyperamortization Condition exists, remitted to Seller or (2) if a
Hyperamortization Condition exists applied to make a payment to Buyer pro rata on account of
the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans until the Repurchase Price for all of the
Purchased Loans; (B) if a CF Sweep Condition shall have occurred, but no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the remainder of such Principal Payment shall be
applied as provided in Section 5(d) of this Agreement below with respect to other
Income; and (C) if an Event of Default shall have occurred, the remainder of such Principal
Payment shall be applied as provided in Section 5(e) of this Agreement below with
respect to other Income.
(d) If a CF Sweep Condition exists with respect to one or more Purchased Loans, then until the
Repurchase Price for each of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to the Target Price for such
Purchased Loans, and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
Income (other than Principal Payments, except for the portion of each Principal Payment available
for application pursuant to this Section 5(d) under the provisions of Section
5(c)(iv)(B) of this Agreement above) received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased
Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied by the Depository on the Business

of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to the aggregate Target Price for all of such
Purchased Loans, respectively as of the date of such payment (as determined by Buyer after
giving effect to such payment).

Principal Payments) received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated
Hedging Transactions shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the

that Buyer may change the order and manner of any such application from time to time in Buyer’s

against any of or all the obligations of Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement
irrespective of whether or not Buyer shall have made any demand under this Agreement (and without
prior notice to Seller) and although such obligations may be unmatured, whereupon such obligations
owing by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller shall, to the extent (and only to the extent) of such
set off actually made by Buyer, be discharged. The rights of Buyer under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Buyer may have.
(g) At the end of each Collection Period and prior to the Remittance Date for such Collection
Period, Seller shall provide to Buyer a statement and analysis of all Income for such
40
period, indicating the Purchased Loans to which each element of Income relates and the amounts
constituting interest on each Purchased Loan, Principal Payments on each Purchased Loan, Reserve
Deposits with respect to each Purchased Loan and other Income.
6. SECURITY INTEREST
Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased
Loans and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event any
such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and
interest in, to and under and grants a first priority lien on, and security interest in and right
of set-off against, all of the property of Seller, including, without limitation, the following
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever
located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of
all amounts or obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Transactions and
the Transaction Documents:
(a) the Purchased Loans, all “securities accounts” (as defined in Section 8-501 (a) of the
UCC) to which any or all of the Purchased Loans or any proceeds that are credited and all
“securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) therein;
(b) the Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance relating to the Purchased Loans,
and all “deposit accounts” (as defined in the UCC, including, without limitation, collection and
escrow accounts) and securities accounts relating to the Purchased Loans;

(d) the Cash Management Account and all monies or investments from time to time on deposit in
or credited to the Cash Management Account;

securing all Hedging Transactions;
(f) all “general intangibles” (including without limitation “payment intangibles”),
“accounts,” “chattel paper,” “investment property,” “documents” and “instruments” as defined in the
UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and
(h) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income and
profits of, tort claims, insurance claims and other rights to payments, and records (but excluding
any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of
the foregoing.
Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only when Seller’s obligations
under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the documents delivered in connection
herewith and therewith have been paid and satisfied in full and no amounts may thereafter become
payable by Seller hereunder or thereunder. For purposes of the grant of the
41
security interest pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the
“UCC”) and the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any other applicable jurisdiction.
Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under
the UCC and the other laws of any applicable jurisdiction, including without limitation the State
of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause
to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority
of the security interest granted hereby, UCC-1 financing statements and continuation statements
(collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Buyer upon
completion thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be
reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security
interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted
to Buyer hereunder), it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required in connection
therewith. In addition, Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to make Filings, at the sole cost and
expense of Seller, in such locations as Buyer may determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect
and maintain priority of the security interest granted hereby.
7. PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

organization and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state

obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) Due Execution; Enforceability. The Transaction Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by Seller and, to the extent it is a party thereto,
Sponsor, for good and valuable consideration. The Transaction Documents to which
Seller is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller,

permits and other consents from Governmental Authorities necessary to acquire, own
and sell the Purchased Loans and for the performance of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.

owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer
such Purchased Loans to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased Loans to Buyer,
Buyer shall be the owner of such Purchased Loans free of any adverse claim. In the
event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the

of Buyer a valid security interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in,
to and under the Collateral and Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority
security interest in the Purchased Loans.

14. REMEDIES
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to Seller, the following
rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:
(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall
be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the
occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder
shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which
such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as
the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).
(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
Section 14(i) of this Agreement:
(A) | Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date; and | ||
(B) | to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 14(iii) of this Agreement); and | ||
(C) | the Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Loans. |
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Buyer may (A)
immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at
such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B)
in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans,
to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of
such Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans
and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any
disposition of Purchased Loans effected
64
pursuant to this Section 14(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and
expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; (w) second, to consequential
damages, including, but not limited to, costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if any;
(x) third, to the Repurchase Price; (y) fourth, to the Exit Fee and (z) fifth, to any other
outstanding obligation of Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates.
(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the
Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser,
or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view
of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or
the Purchased Loans does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private
purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any
Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any
Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to
liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B)
constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.
(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, including legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with
or as a consequence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, (B) consequential
damages, including, without limitation, all costs incurred in connection with covering
transactions or Hedging Transactions, and (C) any other loss, damage, cost or expense
directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
Seller.
(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction
Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign,
and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as
secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, to the extent
that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity,
and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the
Purchased Loans against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether or not such
obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.
(vii) Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All
rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time,
are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.
(viii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial
process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise
have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller
65
recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are
responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.
(ix) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Buyer to exercise remedies in
a commercially reasonable manner, Seller acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially
unreasonable for Buyer (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Buyer
to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in
process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if
not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the
collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens on
or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or
media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi)
to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as Seller, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more
professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet
sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that
have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix)
to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition
warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure Buyer against risks of loss, collection or disposition of
Collateral or to provide to Buyer a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of
Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Buyer, to obtain the services of
other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Buyer in
the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Seller acknowledges that the
purpose of this Section 14(ix) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what
actions or omissions by Buyer would not be commercially unreasonable in Buyer’s exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Buyer shall not be
deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 14(ix). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 14(ix) shall be construed to grant any rights to Seller or to impose any
duties on Buyer that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this Section 14(ix).
(x) Buyer shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of
its rights or remedies against, Seller, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other
Person with respect to the payment of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to pursue or
exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct
or indirect guarantee thereof. Buyer shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any
guarantee of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to resort to the Collateral or any such
guarantee in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder or under any other
document or instrument executed in connection herewith shall be cumulative. To the extent
it may lawfully do so, Seller absolutely and irrevocably waives
66
and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against
Buyer, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and
all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this
provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order
or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or
otherwise.
(xi) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Buyer may
terminate the Interim Servicing Agreement(s) and terminate the Servicer(s) and any
sub-servicer(s) of the Purchased Loans.
Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement and taking any lawful action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as
attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
21. NO RELIANCE
Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in
connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction
Documents and each Transaction thereunder:
(a) it is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any
advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction
Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.
(b) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and
accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment,
hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction)
based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and
not upon any view expressed by the other party;
69
(c) it is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms,
conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction
thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those
risks;
(d) it is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the
purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities
and not for purposes of speculation; and
(e) it is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for
the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person)
any assurance, guaranty or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory,
tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any
Transaction thereunder.
22. INDEMNITY
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s successors and assigns, Buyer’s designee and
each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, taxes (including stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to
be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith, other than
income taxes of Buyer), fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation reasonable
out-of-pocket attorneys fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing,
collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation,
such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been
repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever
arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder
or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any
of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Indemnified Parties harmless from
and indemnify the Indemnified Parties against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased
Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law,
rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in
Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from
anything other than Indemnified Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by Indemnified Parties in connection with any Purchased Loan for any
sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Seller will save,
indemnify and hold Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any
defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account
debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of
such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse
Indemnified Parties as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer’s costs and expenses incurred in
connection
70
with Buyer’s due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans (including, without
limitation, those incurred pursuant to Section 23) and the enforcement or the preservation
of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby, including without
limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that,
the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller.
23. DUE DILIGENCE
Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with
respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations,
warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable
prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal
business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files,
Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information
relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller, any Servicer or
sub-servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased
Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller
acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information
provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and
that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence
review on some or all of the Purchased Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or
engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably
cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting,
including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans
in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall
reimburse Buyer for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in
connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 23, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
24. SERVICING AND ADMINISTRATION OF PURCHASED LOANS
(a) Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans hereby, Seller shall continue
to cause the Purchased Loans to be serviced for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise
its rights to pledge or hypothecate the Purchased Loans prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant to
Section 8, Buyer’s assigns. Seller shall (or shall cause the Servicer or any sub-servicer
to) service the Purchased Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Buyer
and maintained by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to mortgage loans similar to the
Purchased Loans. Provided no Event of Default exists (and thereafter if and for so long as Buyer,
in its sole discretion, requires), (1) Seller shall (or, pursuant to the Interim Servicing
Agreement or such other servicing agreement approved in writing by Buyer (such approvals not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned by Buyer), shall cause and direct the Servicer to),
in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, exercise all voting and other rights with respect
to the Purchased Loans and participate in all dealings with (x) the holder of the senior portion
related to any Purchased Loan, (y) loan administration and routine lender
71
approval requests and (z) the borrower, Mortgagor, guarantors and other obligors with respect
to any Purchased Loan, and (2) Buyer shall not exercise such voting or other rights or otherwise
participate in the administration of such Purchased Loans (except as provided in the following
proviso of this sentence or pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence); provided, that
notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall
not, and shall not direct the Servicer to, take any of the following actions without the express
written consent of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned
(Buyer shall promptly respond to Seller’s requests for approvals): (i) any waiver or release of any
material right, condition or benefit under any Purchased Loan; (ii) take any action to accelerate
the debt, issue a notice of acceleration, foreclose and/or enforce any remedies with respect to any
Purchased Loan; (iii) amend or modify, or approve the amendment or modification of, any economic or
other material term or provision (including, but not limited to, casualty and condemnation
provisions, application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, escrow or reserve provisions
or exculpation provisions) of any Purchased Loan or any loan documents, securitization documents or
other agreements respecting the same; or (iv) take any other action which would materially modify
or materially and adversely affect or impair any Purchased Loan. Seller shall, or cause Servicer
to, promptly deliver to Buyer copies of all amendments, modifications and waivers with respect to
Purchased Loans, regardless of whether the same require approval of the Buyer under the foregoing
provisions, and in any event shall do so within five (5) Business Days of the execution and
delivery thereof. So long as no Event of Default exists, Buyer agrees upon Seller’s written
request (and at Seller’s cost and expense, with reimbursement to Buyer if Buyer is required to
incur costs and expenses in complying with Seller’s requests), (A) to promptly provide written
directions to the Custodian with respect to the release to Seller of documentation contained in the
“Portfolio Collateral Files” (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) that are in the possession of
the Custodian, or its designee, for the purpose of servicing or correcting documentary deficiencies
relating thereto as permitted hereby, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Custodial Agreement, and (B) to promptly provide written directions and/or (as provided in the
Interim Servicing Agreement) powers of attorney to Servicer to facilitate the Servicer’s exercise
(pursuant the Seller’s directions given subject and in accordance with the foregoing sentence and
the Interim Servicing Agreement), of its voting and other rights with respect to the Purchased
Loans pursuant to the Interim Servicing Agreement and the provisions of this Section 24(a).
(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited
to the Interim Servicing Agreement and any and all other servicing agreements with respect to the
Purchased Loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”), files, documents, records, data
bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies,
appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to
or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the
Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller grants Buyer a security interest in any and
all right, title and interest (if any) of Seller in and to all rights relating to the Purchased
Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in
conformity with this Section and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants
to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them to Buyer or its designee (including the
Custodian) within three (3) Business Days of Buyer’s request.
72
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its
sole discretion, exercised in good faith, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Loans on a servicing
released basis or (ii) terminate Seller or any Servicer or sub-servicer of the Purchased Loans with
or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee subject, in the case of
Junior Participation Interests only, to the terms of any participation agreement or intercreditor
agreement governing the applicable Purchased Loan (including the terms and provisions thereof which
may limit the discretion or control of Seller with respect to servicing and servicers).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have sole control over all decisions, approvals or
determinations made with respect to the servicing and administration of the Purchased Loans and the
exercise of all rights and remedies with respect to the Purchased Loans and the related loan and
securitization documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Loans.
(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior
written approval of Buyer (which approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned),
provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that the Interim Servicing Agreement is hereby approved
by Buyer. If the Purchased Loans are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller shall irrevocably assign
all rights, title and interest in the Servicing Agreements in the Purchased Loans to Buyer.
(e) Seller shall cause any Servicers engaged by Seller to execute a letter agreement with
Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that it shall deposit all Income with
respect to the Purchased Loans in the Cash Management Account.
(f) The payment of servicing fees to Seller (if Seller is the Servicer) shall be subordinate
to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.
(g) Upon the failure of any borrower or other obligor under any Purchased Loan to make any
required payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under such Purchased Loan, or
otherwise to perform fully any material covenants or other obligations under any of the related
loan documents, in either case within any applicable grace period, Seller shall promptly notify
Buyer in writing, by e-mail and by fax. Upon the prior written approval or direction of Buyer
(such approval or direction not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), Seller (or,
at Seller’s option, any Servicer or sub-servicer) shall issue notices of default, declare events of
default, declare due the entire outstanding principal balance, and otherwise take all actions under
the related loan documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Loan in preparation for Buyer to
realize upon the underlying collateral. Except as otherwise provided in written instructions
delivered to Seller by Buyer, Seller shall not obtain or cause Buyer to obtain title to any
Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Purchased Loan as a result or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take other action with
respect to, any Mortgaged Property or other collateral directly or indirectly securing such
Purchased Loan, if, as a result of any such action, Buyer would be considered to hold title to, to
be a “mortgagee in possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Mortgaged Property or
other collateral directly or indirectly securing such Purchased Loan within the meaning of any
federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or statute (including, without limitation, any
Environmental Laws) or a “discharger or responsible party” thereunder. In the
73
event that title to any of the Mortgaged Properties or other collateral securing such
Purchased Loan is acquired by Buyer or Persons designated by Buyer or by a third party at a
foreclosure or trustee’s sale, the servicing rights of Seller (if any) with respect to such
Purchased Loan shall terminate, unless Buyer shall have agreed or directed in writing that Seller
shall continue to perform servicing with respect to any such Mortgaged Property or other
collateral.
25. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder and
all references to a time shall mean New York City time in effect on the date of the action unless
otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.
(b) All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are
irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other
rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the
rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(c) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument
(d) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents.
(e) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller
shall pay Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and
expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the
Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for legal
services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the
performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Loans, or any actual
or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection; compromise or settlement in respect of
any of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including
insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by
litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in
connection with the maintenance of the Cash Management Account and registering the Collateral in
the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to
Buyer under this Agreement.
(f) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be
invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.
74
(g) The parties acknowledge and agree that although they intend to treat each Transaction as a
sale of the Purchased Loans, in the event that such sale shall be recharacterized as a secured
financing, this Agreement shall also serve as a security agreement with respect to Buyer’s rights
in the Collateral. In order to secure and to provide for the prompt and unconditional repayment of
the Repurchase Price and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Seller hereby
pledges to Buyer and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of its rights
in the Purchased Loans. Buyer may without Seller’s execution, consent or approval, and Seller
hereby covenants that it shall at Buyer’s request duly file any Form UCC-1 financing statements as
may be required by Buyer in order to perfect its security interest created hereby in such rights
and obligations granted above, it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required to
file such financing statements.
(h) This Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or
written understandings.
(i) The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect
such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that it has received legal advice from
counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is
satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it.
(j) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that
a court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof
shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a
document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent
prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this
Agreement.
(k) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is
defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such
Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a
“securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar
as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a
“forward contract” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as
the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). It is
understood that either party’s right to liquidate assets delivered to it in connection with
Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 11 hereof is a
contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555, 556 and 559 (as
applicable) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(l) Any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate (including, without limitation, any
Confirmation) given by Buyer to any Seller shall be effective as, and shall be deemed to be, a
notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate given to each and every Seller. Buyer may,
without necessity of any inquiry, rely solely upon any notice, acknowledgment, statement or
certificate of any of (1) any Seller or (2) any authorized representative of Seller set forth on
Exhibit II or otherwise designated by any Seller from time to time, as constituting the
75
joint and several statement and certificate of each and every Seller fully authorized by each
and every Seller. Any disbursements of funds to Seller provided for in Article 5 of this
Agreement or otherwise in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall be deemed properly made
to Seller if disbursed to any Seller or its designee.
76
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the 9th day of
February, 2006.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN
WHICH IS A WHOLE LOAN
REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOAN
WHICH IS A WHOLE LOAN
1. Purchased Loan Schedule and Collateral Information. The information set forth in
the Purchased Loan Schedule and the Collateral Information is complete, true and correct in all
material respects.
2. Legal Compliance — Origination. As of the date of its origination, such Purchased
Loan complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all applicable requirements of
federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Loan.
3. Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and
not a participation interest in a whole loan. Immediately prior to the transfer to Buyer of the
Purchased Loan(s), Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan. Seller
has full right, power and authority to transfer and assign each of the Purchased Loans to or at the
direction of Buyer and has validly and effectively conveyed (or caused to be conveyed) to Buyer or
its designee all of Seller’s legal and beneficial interest in and to the Purchased Loans free and
clear of any and all pledges, liens, charges, security interests and/or other encumbrances except
for Permitted Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined). The sale of the Purchased Loans to Buyer or
its designee does not require Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent
that has not been obtained.
4. Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and interest under any Purchased
Loan was 30 days or more past due as of the Purchase Date without giving effect to any applicable
grace period, and no Purchased Loan was 30 days or more delinquent in the twelve-month period
immediately preceding the Purchase Date.
5. Lien; Valid Assignment. The Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with
each Purchased Loan constitutes a valid and, subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 14
below, enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other
liens and encumbrances, except for (a) the lien for current real estate taxes and assessments not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters that are of public record and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance
policy, (c) exceptions and exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance
policy, and (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters
referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d) materially interferes with the security intended to be
provided by such Mortgage or the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the current
ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate operating income sufficient to service the Purchased
Loan debt (the foregoing items (a) through (d) being herein referred to as the “Permitted
Encumbrances”). The related assignment of such Mortgage executed and delivered in favor of
Buyer is in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to
convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and
under such Mortgage. Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreements, chattel
mortgages or equivalent instruments, establishes and creates a valid and, subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph 14 below, enforceable security interest in favor of the
holder thereof in all of the related Mortgagor’s personal property used in, and reasonably
necessary to operate the related Mortgaged Property. A Uniform Commercial Code financing statement
has been filed and/or recorded in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in such
personal property, and such security interest is a first priority security interest, subject to any
prior purchase money security interest in such personal property and any personal property leases
applicable to such personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation is made as
to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that
possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.
6. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of leases and rents (“Assignment
of Leases”) set forth in the Mortgage (or in a separate instrument) and related to and
delivered in connection with each Purchased Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and,
subject to (i) the exceptions set forth in paragraph 14 below and (ii) the Permitted Encumbrances,
enforceable first priority perfected security interest in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all
leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy,
use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, and each
assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related assignment of any Assignment
of Leases, not included in a Mortgage, executed and delivered in favor of Buyer is in recordable
form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee
named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment of
Leases.
7. Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. No Mortgage securing any Purchased Loan
has been satisfied, canceled, rescinded or subordinated in whole or in material part, and the
related Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of such Mortgage, in whole or in
material part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release except for any partial reconveyances of portions
of the real property that do not materially adversely affect the value of the property. None of the
terms of any Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Assignment of Leases have been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, all of which are included in the related
Mortgage File.
8. Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in an engineering report
prepared in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Loan, each Mortgaged Property
is, to Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect
its value as security for the related Purchased Loan (normal wear and tear excepted). Seller has
received no notice of any pending or threatened proceeding for the condemnation of all or any
material portion of any Mortgaged Property. To Seller’s knowledge (based on surveys and/or title
insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loans) as of the date of the
origination of each Purchased Loan, all of the material improvements on the related Mortgaged
Property which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lay
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, except for
encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to herein or
that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties
2
materially encroached upon such Mortgaged Property so as to materially and adversely affect
the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, except those encroachments that are insured
against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to herein.
9. Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is covered by an American Land Title
Association (or an equivalent form thereof as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction) lender’s
title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of the related
Purchased Loan after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures that the related Mortgage
is a valid first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only to the exceptions stated
therein (or an escrow letter or a marked up title insurance commitment on which the required
premium has been paid exists which evidences that such Title Policy will be issued). Each Title
Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and
effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and, no claims have been made thereunder. No holder of
the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the
coverage under such Title Policy. Such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer; such
policy is in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been paid. Immediately following
the transfer and assignment of the related Purchased Loan to Buyer, such Title Policy (or, if it
has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of Buyer
without the consent of or notice to the insurer. The insurer issuing such policy is (x) a
nationally-recognized title insurance company and (y) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
in which the related Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required. The Title Policy
contains no material exclusion for, or alternatively it insures (unless such coverage is
unavailable in the relevant jurisdiction) (a) access to a public road or (b) against any loss due
to encroachment of any material portion of the improvements thereon.
10. No Holdbacks. The proceeds of each Purchased Loan have been fully disbursed and
there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto . With respect to each Purchased
Loan, any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose that were to have been complied with on or
before the Purchase Date have been complied with, or any such funds so escrowed have not been
released.
11. Mortgage Provisions. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph 14 below,
the Mortgage Note or Mortgage for each Purchased Loan, together with applicable state law, contains
customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties similarly situated such as
to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization
against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be
provided thereby.
12. Buyer under Deed of Trust. If any Mortgage is a deed of trust, (1) a trustee, duly
qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such
Mortgage, and (2) no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee by Seller, Buyer or any
transferee thereof except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the related
Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or
related security for the related Purchased Loan.
3
13. Environmental Conditions. An environmental site assessment (or an update of a
previous assessment) was performed with respect to each Mortgaged Property in connection with the
origination of the related Purchased Loan, a report of each such assessment (an “Environmental
Report”) has been delivered to Buyer, and to Seller’s knowledge, there is no material and
adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Mortgaged Property that was not
disclosed in such report. Each Mortgage requires the related Mortgagor to comply with all
applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Where such assessment
disclosed the existence of a material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting
any Mortgaged Property and the same have not been subsequently addressed in all material respects,
then either, (i) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for
such condition or circumstance, (ii) the related Mortgagor was required either to provide
additional security and/or to obtain an operations and maintenance plan, (iii) an escrow greater
than or equal to 100% of the amount identified as necessary by the environmental consulting firm to
address such condition is held by the Seller for purposes of effecting same (and the Mortgagor has
covenanted in the Purchased Loan documents to perform such work), (iv) the Mortgagor has provided
an environmental insurance policy, (v) an operations and maintenance plan has been or will be
implemented or (vi) the related Mortgagor provided evidence that applicable federal, state or local
governmental authorities would not take any action, or require the taking of any action, in respect
of such condition or circumstance. The related Purchased Loan Documents contain provisions pursuant
to which the related borrower or a principal of such borrower has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee
for damages resulting from violations of any applicable Environmental Laws.
14. Loan Document Status. Each of the Mortgage Note, Mortgage and the other Purchased
Loan Documents that evidences or secures a Purchased Loan and that was executed by or on behalf of
the related Mortgagor is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to
any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state
anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)
and there currently exists no valid defense, counterclaim or right of offset or rescission
available to the related Mortgagor with respect to such Mortgage Loan Documents, except in each
case, with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default
interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges. The
related Purchased Loan Documents contain no provision limiting the right or ability of the Seller
to assign, transfer and convey the related Purchased Loan to any other Person.
15. Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related
Mortgage to be insured by (a) a fire and extended perils insurance policy issued by an insurer
meeting the requirements of such Purchased Loan providing coverage against loss or damage sustained
by reason of fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil
commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of origination
by the originator of such Purchased Loan consistent with its normal commercial mortgage lending
practices, against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality
of the Mortgaged Property in an amount not less than the lesser of the
4
principal balance of the related Purchased Loan and the replacement cost (not allowing for
depreciation) of the Mortgaged Property, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the
operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (b) a business
interruption or rental loss insurance policy, in an amount at least equal to twelve months of
operations of the Mortgaged Property (other than manufactured housing communities); (c) a flood
insurance policy (if any portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards) and (d) a comprehensive
general liability insurance policy in amounts as are generally required by commercial mortgage
lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence. Such insurance policy contains a
standard mortgagee clause that names the Seller, its successors and assigns (including Buyer) as an
additional insured and that requires at least thirty days’ (in the case of termination or
cancellation other than for nonpayment of premiums) and at least ten days’ (in the case of
termination or cancellation for nonpayment of premiums) prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage,
and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not
been cured. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, upon
such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance
at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Other
than as set forth in this paragraph 15 hereof, each Mortgage provides that casualty insurance
proceeds will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
to the reduction or defeasance of the outstanding principal amount of the Purchased Loan. The
insurer with respect to each policy is qualified to write insurance in the relevant jurisdiction to
the extent required.
16. Taxes and Assessments. There are no delinquent or unpaid taxes or assessments
(including assessments payable in future installments), or other outstanding charges affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of
the related Mortgage. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and
assessments shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (i) the date on which interest
and/or penalties would be first payable thereon and (ii) the date on which enforcement action is
entitled to be taken by the relevant taxing authority.
17. Mortgagor Bankruptcy. No Mortgagor is currently a debtor in, and no Mortgaged
Property is the subject of, any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
18. Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee
simple estate in real estate or, if the related Purchased Loan is secured in whole or in part by
the interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property (a “Ground
Lease”), by the related Mortgagor’s interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee
interest in such Mortgaged Property (the “Fee Interest”). With respect to any Purchased
Loan secured by a Ground Lease but not by the related Fee Interest:
a. | Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded; such Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between Seller and related lessor) permits the current use of the Mortgaged Property and permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a |
5
manner that would adversely effect the security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use; and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination of the related Purchased Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Mortgage File; |
b. | The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than Permitted Encumbrances; | ||
c. | The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date) and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by Buyer and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor; | ||
d. | Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and Seller has received no notice that an event of default has occurred thereunder, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there exists no condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event of default under the terms of such Ground Lease; | ||
e. | Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease to the extent such Ground Lease requires such notice, and (B) provides that no notice of termination given under such Ground Lease (including rejection of such Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding) is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered to enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from the economic terms of the Ground Lease; | ||
f. | A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under such Ground Lease to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease; | ||
g. | Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options set forth therein) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Purchased Loan and ten years beyond the amortization period for the related Purchased Loan; |
6
h. | Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award other than in respect of a total loss will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a Buyer appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender for conduit programs), or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan together with any accrued interest thereon; | ||
i. | Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located; | ||
j. | Such Ground Lease provides, or the lessor has otherwise agreed, that such Ground Lease may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Purchased Loan; and | ||
k. | The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy. |
19. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments relating to each Purchased Loan
that are, as of the Purchase Date required to be deposited or paid have been so deposited or paid.
20. LTV Ratio. The gross proceeds of each Purchased Loan advanced to the related
Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Loan
and either: (a) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property having a fair market
value (i) at the date the Purchased Loan was originated at least equal to 80 percent of the
original principal balance of the Purchased Loan or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80
percent of the principal balance of the Purchased Loan on such date; provided that for
purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (x)
the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (y) a
proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Loan (unless such other lien
secures a Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized with such Purchased Loan, in which event the
computation described in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this paragraph 20 shall be made on a pro
rata basis in accordance with the fair market values of the Mortgaged Properties securing such
cross-collateralized Purchased Loans; or (b) substantially all the proceeds of such Purchased Loan
were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for
such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third party credit enhancement within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(l)(ii)).
7
21. Purchased Loan Modifications. Any Purchased Loan that was “significantly
modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of
the Code either (a) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of
such Purchased Loan or (b) satisfies the provisions of either clause (a)(i) of paragraph 20
(substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was
originated) or clause (a)(ii) of paragraph 20, including the proviso thereto.
22. Advancement of Funds by Seller. Seller has not advanced funds or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged Property,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Purchased Loan.
23. No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of the Mortgage, and to the actual knowledge
of Seller as of the Purchase Date, each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, and
no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or
equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the
Title Policy referred to herein or otherwise bonded.
24. Compliance with Usury Laws. Each Purchased Loan (exclusive of any default
interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) complied with, or is exempt from, all applicable
usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
25. Cross-collateralization; Cross-default. No Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized
or cross-defaulted with any loan other than one or more other Purchased Loans.
26. Releases of Mortgaged Property. Except as described in the next sentence, no
Mortgage Note or Mortgage requires the mortgagee to release all or any material portion of the
related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage except upon payment in full or
defeasance of all amounts due under the related Purchased Loan. The Mortgages relating to those
Purchased Loans identified on the Purchased Loan Schedule require the mortgagee to grant releases
of portions of the related Mortgaged Properties upon (a) the satisfaction of certain legal and
underwriting requirements and (b) except where the portion of the Mortgaged Property permitted to
be released was not considered by, Seller to be material in the underwriting of the Purchased Loan,
either (1) the payment of a release price set forth therein and prepayment consideration in
connection therewith or (2) the partial defeasance of such Purchased Loan.
27. No Equity Participation or Contingent Interest. No Purchased Loan contains any
equity participation by the lender or provides for negative amortization or for any contingent or
additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged
Property.
28. No Material Default. To Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration under the documents evidencing or securing the Purchased
Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely affects the value of the
Purchased Loan and the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this
representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any default, breach, violation or
8
event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered by any other
representation and warranty made by Seller in any of paragraphs 4, 8, 13, 15, 16 and 18 of this
Exhibit VI. No Person or party other than the holder of such Mortgage Note (and such
holder’s servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under
either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
29. Inspections. The Seller or the originator of the Purchased Loan has inspected or
caused to be inspected each Mortgaged Property in connection with the origination of the related
Purchased Loan.
30. Local Law Compliance. Based on due diligence considered reasonable by prudent
commercial mortgage lenders in the lending area where each Mortgaged Property is located
(including, but not limited to, obtaining a zoning report from a nationally recognized zoning
consultant), the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property complies with
applicable zoning laws and ordinances, or constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure or,
if any such improvement does not so comply, such non-compliance does not materially and adversely
affect the value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined by the appraisal performed at
origination.
31. Junior Liens. None of the Purchased Loans permits the related Mortgaged Property
to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the related Mortgage
without the prior written consent of the holder thereof or the satisfaction of debt service
coverage or similar criteria specified therein. To Seller’s knowledge, none of the Mortgaged
Properties is encumbered by any lien junior to the lien of the related Mortgage. Each Purchased
Loan contains a “due on sale” clause that provides for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Loan if, without the prior written consent of the holder
of the Purchased Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is transferred or sold.
32. Actions Concerning Purchased Loans. To the knowledge of Seller, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened before any court, administrative agency or
arbitrator concerning any Purchased Loan or related Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property that might
adversely affect title to the Purchased Loan or the validity or enforceability of the related
Mortgage or that might materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property as
security for the Purchased Loan or the use for which the premises were intended.
33. Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller for the Purchased
Loan have complied with applicable law in all material respects and are consistent with those
employed by prudent servicers of comparable commercial loans.
34. Licenses and Permits. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each
Purchased Loan, the related Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and
franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged
Property as it was then operated.
35. Assisted Living Facility Regulation. If any Mortgaged Property is operated as an
assisted living facility, to Seller’s knowledge, (a) the related Mortgagor and operator, if
different, is in compliance in all material respects with all federal and state laws
9
applicable to the use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property and (b) if the operator
of the Mortgaged Property participates in Medicare or Medicaid programs, the facility is in
compliance in all material respects with the requirements for participation in such programs.
36. Non-Recourse Exceptions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan
provide that such Purchased Loan constitutes the non-recourse obligations of the related obligor
thereon except that the Mortgagor has agreed to be liable with respect to losses incurred due to
(i) fraud and/or other intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or
misappropriation of rents collected in advance or received by the related Mortgagor after the
occurrence of an event of default and not paid to the mortgagee or applied to the Mortgaged
Property in the ordinary course of business, (iii) misapplication or conversion by the Mortgagor of
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (iv) breach of the environmental covenants in the
related Purchased Loan documents.
37. Single Purpose Entity. The Mortgagor on each Purchased Loan was, as of the
origination of the Purchased Loan, a Single Purpose Entity. For this purpose, a “Single Purpose
Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide
substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and
operating one or more Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Loans and prohibit it from
engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose
organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Loan
documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to
its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other
than as permitted by the related Mortgage or the other related Purchased Loan documents, that it
has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from any other person, and that it
holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person. Each Mortgagor under
a Purchased Loan which has an original principal balance of $25,000,000 or more is an entity which
has represented in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loan, or whose organizational
documents as of the date of origination of the Purchased Loan provide that so long as the Purchased
Loan is outstanding it will have at least one independent director.
38. Access; Separate Tax Parcels. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or
adjacent to a dedicated road, or has access to an irrevocable easement permitting ingress and
egress, (b) is served by public utilities, water and sewer (or septic facilities) and (c)
constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots or is subject to an endorsement under the
related title insurance policy.
39. Defeasance. Each Purchased Loan containing provisions for defeasance of mortgage
collateral either (i) requires the prior written consent of, and compliance with the conditions set
by, the holder of the Purchased Loan, or (ii) requires that (A) defeasance may not occur prior to
the time permitted by applicable “real estate mortgage investment conduit” rules and regulations
(if applicable), (B) the replacement collateral consist of U.S. governmental securities in an
amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due, (C) independent
public accountants certify that the collateral is sufficient to make such payments, (D) counsel
provide an opinion that the Buyer has a perfected security interest in
10
such collateral prior to any other claim or interest, and (E) all costs and expenses arising
from the defeasance of the mortgage collateral shall be borne by the borrower.
40. Operating or Financial Statement. The related Purchased Loan Documents require the
related borrower to furnish to the mortgagee at least annually an operating statement with respect
to the related Mortgaged Property.
41. Qualified Mortgage. Each Purchased Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but without regard to Treasury Regulations Section
1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats a defective obligation as a qualified mortgage, or any substantially
similar successor provision). Each Purchased Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial
property or a multifamily residential property, and either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of
such Purchased Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or
multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was
the only security for such Purchased Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the
fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Purchased Loan was at least
equal to 80% of the principal amount of the Purchased Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of
the Closing Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the
referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such
interest in real property that is senior to the Purchased Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of
any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Purchased Loan, and (2) the
“Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Purchased Loan was originated unless (a)
such Purchased Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a
“significant modification” of such Purchased Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such
Purchased Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Purchased Loan was reasonably
foreseeable. However, if the referenced Purchased Loan has been subjected to a “significant
modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Purchased Loan was not in
default or when default with respect to such Purchased Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the
Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred. Each
yield maintenance payment and prepayment premium payable under the Purchased Loans is a “customary
prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).
42. Organization of Mortgagors; Affiliation with other Mortgagors. With respect to
each Purchased Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the
Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Loan, the
Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the
District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Purchased Loan
that is cross-collateralized and cross defaulted with another Purchased Loan, no Purchased Loan has
a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of another Mortgagor.
43. Authorization in Jurisdiction. To the extent required under applicable law and
necessary for the enforcement of the Purchased Loan, as of the date of origination and at all times
it held the Purchased Loan, the originator of such Purchased Loan was authorized to do business in
the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.
11
44. Capital Contributions. Neither the Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any
obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Purchased Loan documents.

16. Payment Record. No scheduled payment of principal and interest under the Purchased
Loan or, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, any related Mortgage Loan was 30 days or more past due
as of the Purchase Date without giving effect to any applicable grace period, and neither the
Purchased Loan nor, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgage Loan was 30 days or
more delinquent in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Purchase Date.
17. Lien. Seller has received and delivered to Buyer a copy of a lender’s title
insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefore) or its equivalent, as adopted in the
applicable jurisdiction (the “Title Policy”) that insures the lien of each of the Mortgage and
Assignment of Leases and Rents related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan
relating to the Purchased Loan constitutes a valid and enforceable first priority lien upon the
related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, subject only to (a) the lien
2
for current real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record
and/or are referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy, (c) exceptions and
exclusions specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy, and (d) other matters
to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters referred to in clauses (b),
(c) or (d) materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the
value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to
generate operating income sufficient to service the Mortgage Loan and related Purchased Loan (the
foregoing items (a) through (d) being herein referred to as the “Permitted Encumbrances”).
18. Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in an engineering report
prepared in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Loan (or Mortgage Loan), each
Mortgaged Property is, to Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially
and adversely affect its value as security for the related Purchased Loan (normal wear and tear
excepted). Seller has received no notice of any pending or threatened proceeding for the
condemnation of all or any material portion of any Mortgaged Property. To Seller’s knowledge (based
solely on surveys and/or title insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the
Purchased Loans) as of the date of the origination of each Purchased Loan, all of the material
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property which were considered in determining the appraised
value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of
such property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy or that do not
materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties materially encroached upon such Mortgaged Property so as to
materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, except those
encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein.
19. Title Insurance. Each Mezzanine Loan is covered by a UCC Policy from a nationally
recognized title insurance company in the original principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan. Each
UCC Policy insures that the related security documents are a valid first priority liens on the
applicable personal property, subject only to the exceptions stated therein (or an escrow letter or
a marked up UCC insurance commitment on which the required premium has been paid exists which
evidences that such UCC Policy will be issued).
20. No Future Advances. The proceeds of each Mezzanine Loan and each related Mortgage
Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.
21. Environmental Conditions. Seller has received a copy of an environmental site
assessment (or an update of a previous assessment) report which was performed with respect to each
Mortgaged Property in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (an
“Environmental Report”), and to Seller’s knowledge, there is no material and adverse environmental
condition or circumstance affecting any Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in such report.
The Purchased Loan Documents require the related mezzanine loan borrower to comply with, or cause
to be complied with, all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
3
22. Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related
Purchased Loan Documents to be insured by (a) a fire and extended perils insurance policy issued by
an insurer meeting the requirements of such mortgage loan providing coverage against loss or damage
sustained by reason of fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike,
civil commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of
origination by the originator of such mortgage loan consistent with its normal commercial mortgage
lending practices, against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the
locality of the Mortgaged Property in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance
of the related mortgage loan and the replacement cost (not allowing for depreciation) of the
Mortgaged Property, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any
co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (b) a business interruption or
rental loss insurance policy, in an amount at least equal to twelve months of operations of the
Mortgaged Property (other than manufactured housing communities); (c) a flood insurance policy (if
any portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards) and (d) a comprehensive general liability
insurance policy in amounts as are generally required by commercial mortgage lenders, and in any
event not less than $1 million per occurrence. The Purchased Loan Documents obligate the related
mezzanine loan borrower to maintain, or cause to be maintained, all such insurance and, upon such
mezzanine loan borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mezzanine Loan to maintain
such insurance at the mezzanine loan borrower’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor
from such mezzanine loan borrower. Each mezzanine loan borrower provides that casualty insurance
proceeds will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or
to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan. To the best of
Seller’s knowledge, the insurer with respect to each policy is qualified to write insurance in the
relevant jurisdiction to the extent required.
23. Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee
simple estate in real estate or, if the related Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the
interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property (a “Ground
Lease”), by the related Mortgagor’s interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee
interest in such Mortgaged Property (the “Fee Interest”). With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured
by a Ground Lease but not by the related Fee Interest:
i. Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded; such
Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between
mortgagee and related lessor) permits the current use of the Mortgaged Property and
permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related
Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such
lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely effect the
security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use;
and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease
since the origination of the related mortgage loan, with the exception of material
changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Purchased
Loan File;
4
ii. The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or
encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, if any,
other than Permitted Encumbrances;
iii. The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the
applicable mortgagee and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the
consent of, the lessor thereunder and, in the event that it is so assigned, is
further assignable by any successor mortgagee and its successors and assigns upon
notice to, but without the need to obtain the consent of, such lessor;
iv. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge,
no event of default has occurred thereunder, and there exists no condition that, but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event
of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
v. Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to
the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of
its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease to the extent such
Ground Lease requires such notice, further (B) provides that no notice of
termination given under such Ground Lease (including rejection of such Ground Lease
in a bankruptcy proceeding) is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a
copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered to
enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from
the economic terms of the Ground Lease;
vi. A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where
necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under
such Ground Lease to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable
after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may
terminate such Ground Lease;
vii. Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options
set forth therein) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the stated
maturity date of the related Mezzanine Loan;
viii. Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related mezzanine loan
documents, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award
other than in respect of a total loss will be applied either to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the holder of the
either the related Mezzanine Loan or mortgage loan having the right to hold and
disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases
where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds would
not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender
for conduit programs), or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the
Mezzanine Loan together with any accrued interest
5
thereon, subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement or participation
agreement;
ix. Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on (i) subletting which
would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders
in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located or (ii) the assignment
or pledge of any direct or indirect equity interest in the Mortgage Borrower;
x. Such Ground Lease provides, or the lessor has otherwise agreed, that such
Ground Lease may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the
holder of the Mezzanine Loan subject in all respects to any intercreditor agreement;
and
xii. The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new
lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection
of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.
24. No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of the applicable Purchased Loan Documents,
and to the actual knowledge of Seller as of the Purchase Date, each Mortgaged Property is free and
clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the
related Mortgage, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien
that would be prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens
insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein or otherwise bonded.
25. No Material Default. To Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration under the documents evidencing or securing the Purchased
Loan or the related Mortgage Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely
affects the value of the Purchased Loan or the related Mortgaged Property.
26. Actions Concerning Mortgage Loans. To the knowledge of Seller, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened before any court, administrative agency or
arbitrator concerning any Mezzanine Loan or related Mortgagor/Mezzanine loan borrower or Mortgaged
Property that might adversely affect title to the Mortgaged Property or the validity or
enforceability of the related Purchased Loan Documents or that might materially and adversely
affect the value of the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan.
27. Licenses and Permits. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each
Purchased Loan, the related mezzanine loan borrower delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Seller
all material licenses, permits and franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and
operation of the related Mortgaged Property as it was then operated.

rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Purchased Loan (exclusive of

applicable usury laws in effect at its date or origination. Seller has fully and validly perfected
all security interests created or intended to be created pursuant to the Purchased Loan Documents.
6. Waivers and Modifications. The terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents have
not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any material respect (other than by a written
instrument which is included in the related Purchased Loan File).
7. Valid Assignment. The assignment of Purchased Loan constitutes the legal, valid and
binding assignment of such Purchased Loan from Seller to or for the benefit of Buyer. No consent or
approval by any third party is required for any such assignment of such Purchased Loan, for Buyer’s
exercise of any rights or remedies under the assignment of Purchased Loan, or for Buyer’s sale or
other disposition of such Purchased Loan if Buyer acquires title thereto, other than consents and
approvals which have been obtained. No other impediment exists to any such transfer.
8. Certain Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties in the
Purchased Loan Documents and in the underlying documents for the
7
performing commercial mortgage loan secured by a first lien on a multifamily or commercial property
to which such Purchased Loan relates are true and correct in all material respects.
9. Parties Authorized. To the extent required under applicable law as of the Purchase
Date, each party to the Purchased Loan Documents was authorized to do business in the jurisdiction
in which the related underlying real property is located at all times when it held the Purchased
Loan to the extent necessary to ensure the validity and enforceability of such Purchased Loan.
10. No Advances of Funds. No party to the Purchased Loan Documents has advanced funds
on account of any default under the Purchased Loan or under the underlying real property mortgage

debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding: Seller; underlying real
property owner; or underlying real property mortgagee.
14. Mortgage Loan Documents and Purchased Loan Documents. Seller has provided to
Buyer true, correct and complete copies (or original counterparts) of the Purchased Loan Documents
and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
14. Intentionally Omitted.

giving effect to any applicable grace period, and neither the Purchased Loan nor, to the best of
Seller’s knowledge, the underlying Mortgage Loan was 30 days or more delinquent in the twelve-month
period immediately preceding the Purchase Date.
16. Lien. The Mortgage related to and delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan
relating to the Purchased Loan constitutes a valid and enforceable first priority lien upon the
related Mortgaged Property, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, except for (a) the lien for
current real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters that are of public record and/or are
referred to in the related lender’s title insurance policy, (c) exceptions and exclusions
specifically referred to in such lender’s title insurance policy, and (d) other matters to which
like properties are commonly subject, none of which matters referred to in clauses (b), (c) or (d)
materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the value or
current use of the Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate
operating income sufficient to service the Mortgage Loan and related Purchased Loan
8
(the foregoing items (a) through (d) being herein referred to as the “Permitted
Encumbrances”). Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreements, chattel mortgages
or equivalent instruments, establishes and creates a valid and enforceable security interest in
favor of the holder thereof in all of the related Mortgagor’s personal property used in, and
reasonably necessary to operate the related Mortgaged Property. A Uniform Commercial Code financing
statement has been filed and/or recorded in all places necessary to perfect a valid security
interest in such personal property, and such security interest is a first priority security
interest, subject to any prior purchase money security interest in such personal property and any
personal property leases applicable to such personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal
property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.
17. Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of leases and rents (“Assignment of
Leases”) set forth in the Mortgage (or in a separate instrument) and related to and delivered in
connection with each mortgage loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable first priority
perfected security interest in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses
or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any
portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, and each assignor thereunder has the
full right to assign the same.
18. Condition of Property; Condemnation. Except as set forth in an engineering report
prepared in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Loan, each Mortgaged Property
is, to Seller’s knowledge, free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect
its value as security for the related Purchased Loan (normal wear and tear excepted). Seller has
received no notice of any pending or threatened proceeding for the condemnation of all or any
material portion of any Mortgaged Property. To Seller’s knowledge (based on surveys and/or title
insurance obtained in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loans) as of the date of the
origination of each Purchased Loan, all of the material improvements on the related Mortgaged
Property which were considered in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lay
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property, except for
encroachments that are insured against by the lender’s title insurance policy referred to herein or
that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties materially encroached upon such Mortgaged Property so
as to materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property, except
those encroachments that are insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein.
19. Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is covered by an American Land Title
Association (or an equivalent form thereof as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction) lender’s
title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of the related
mortgage loan after all advances of principal. Each Title Policy insures that the related Mortgage
is a valid first priority lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only to the exceptions stated
therein (or an escrow letter or a marked up title insurance commitment on which the required
premium has been paid exists which evidences that such Title Policy will be issued). Each Title
Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and
effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and, no claims have been made thereunder. No
9
holder of the related Mortgage has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially
impair the coverage under such Title Policy. The insurer issuing such policy is (x) a nationally
recognized title insurance company and (y) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which
the related Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required. The Title Policy contains no
material exclusion for, or alternatively it insures (unless such coverage is unavailable in the
relevant jurisdiction) (a) access to a public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachment of
any material portion of the improvements thereon.
20. No Future Advances. The proceeds of each mortgage loan have been fully disbursed
and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.
21. Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents, together with applicable state
law, contain customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties similarly
situated such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical
realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security
intended to be provided thereby.
22. Environmental Conditions. An environmental site assessment (or an update of a
previous assessment) was performed with respect to each Mortgaged Property in connection with the
origination of the related Mortgage Loan (an “Environmental Report”), and to Seller’s knowledge,
there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any Mortgaged
Property that was not disclosed in such report. Each Mortgage requires the related Mortgagor to
comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
23. Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related
Mortgage to be insured by (a) a fire and extended perils insurance policy issued by an insurer
meeting the requirements of such mortgage loan providing coverage against loss or damage sustained
by reason of fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil
commotion, aircraft, vehicles and smoke, and, to the extent required as of the date of origination
by the originator of such mortgage loan consistent with its normal commercial mortgage lending
practices, against other risks insured against by persons operating like properties in the locality
of the Mortgaged Property in an amount not less than the lesser of the principal balance of the
related mortgage loan and the replacement cost (not allowing for depreciation) of the Mortgaged
Property, and not less than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance
provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (b) a business interruption or rental loss
insurance policy, in an amount at least equal to twelve months of operations of the Mortgaged
Property (other than manufactured housing communities); (c) a flood insurance policy (if any
portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards) and (d) a comprehensive general liability
insurance policy in amounts as are generally required by commercial mortgage lenders, and in any
event not less than $1 million per occurrence. Each Mortgage obligates the related Mortgagor to
maintain all such insurance and, upon such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of
the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from such Mortgagor. Each Mortgage provides that casualty insurance proceeds
will be applied either to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or to the
reduction or defeasance of the outstanding
10
principal amount of the mortgage loan. The insurer with respect to each policy is qualified
to write insurance in the relevant jurisdiction to the extent required.
24. Leasehold Estate. Each Mortgaged Property consists of the related Mortgagor’s fee
simple estate in real estate or, if the related Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the
interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property (a “Ground
Lease”), by the related Mortgagor’s interest in the Ground Lease but not by the related fee
interest in such Mortgaged Property (the “Fee Interest”). With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured
by a Ground Lease but not by the related Fee Interest:
i. Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded; such
Ground Lease (or the related estoppel letter or lender protection agreement between
mortgagee and related lessor) permits the current use of the Mortgaged Property and
permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related
Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such
lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely effect the
security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use;
and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease
since the origination of the related mortgage loan, with the exception of material
changes reflected in written instruments that are a part of the related Purchased
Loan File;
ii. The lessee’s interest in such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or
encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other
than Permitted Encumbrances;
iii. The Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable mortgagee and
its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor
thereunder and, in the event that it is so assigned, is further assignable by any
successor mortgagee and its successors and assigns upon notice to, but without the
need to obtain the consent of, such lessor;
iv. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge,
no event of default has occurred thereunder, and there exists no condition that, but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would result in an event
of default under the terms of such Ground Lease;
v. Such Ground Lease, or an estoppel letter or other agreement, (A) requires
the lessor under such Ground Lease to give notice of any default by the lessee to
the mortgagee, provided that the mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of
its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease to the extent such
Ground Lease requires such notice, further (B) provides that no notice of
termination given under such Ground Lease (including rejection of such Ground Lease
in a bankruptcy proceeding) is effective against the holder of the Mortgage unless a
copy of such notice has been delivered to such holder and the lessor has offered to
enter into a new lease with such holder on terms that do not materially vary from
the economic terms of the Ground Lease;
11
vi. A mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where
necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under
such Ground Lease to cure any default under such Ground Lease, which is curable
after the receipt of notice of any such default, before the lessor thereunder may
terminate such Ground Lease;
vii. Such Ground Lease has an original term (including any extension options
set forth therein) which extends not less than twenty years beyond the stated
maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan and ten years beyond the amortization
period for the related Mortgage Loan;
viii. Under the terms of such Ground Lease and the related Mortgage, taken
together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award other than in respect
of a total loss will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part
of the related Mortgaged Property, with the holder of the related Mortgage Loan
having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration
progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold
and disburse such proceeds would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a
prudent commercial mortgage lender for conduit programs), or to the payment or
defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan together with
any accrued interest thereon;
ix. Such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting which
would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by prudent commercial mortgage lenders
in the lending area where the Mortgaged Property is located;
x. Such Ground Lease provides, or the lessor has otherwise agreed, that such
Ground Lease may not be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee under such mortgage loan; and
xi. The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new
lease upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection
of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.
25. No Mechanics’ Liens. As of the date of the Mortgage, and to the actual knowledge
of Seller as of the Purchase Date, each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all
mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, and
no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or
equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens insured against by the
Title Policy referred to herein or otherwise bonded.
26. No Material Default. To Seller’s knowledge, there exists no material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration under the documents evidencing or securing the Purchased
Loan or the related Mortgage Loan, in any such case to the extent the same materially and adversely
affects the value of the Purchased Loan or the related Mortgaged Property.
12
27. Actions Concerning Mortgage Loans. To the knowledge of Seller, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened before any court, administrative agency or
arbitrator concerning any mortgage loan or related Mortgagor or Mortgaged Property that might
adversely affect title to the Mortgaged Property or the validity or enforceability of the related
Purchased Loan Documents or Mortgage Loan Documents or that might materially and adversely affect
the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the mortgage loan or the use for which the
premises were intended.
28. Licenses and Permits. To Seller’s knowledge, as of the date of origination of each
Purchased Loan, the related Mortgagor was in possession of all material licenses, permits and
franchises required by applicable law for the ownership and operation of the related Mortgaged
Property as it was then operated.
