(F) Seller shall have delivered evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that all conditions precedent to the future funding advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents shall have been satisfied in all material respects;

(G) [Intentionally Omitted];

(H) The representations and warranties made by Seller in Article 9 (other than (a) any Xxxx to Market Representation or (b) the representation and warranty in Article 9(s) with respect to any Purchased Asset as to which Seller has provided notice to Buyer of a breach of any such representation and warranty and Buyer has (i) not demanded a repurchase of such Purchased Asset pursuant to the last paragraph of Article 3(d) or (ii) demanded a repurchase of such Purchased Asset which repurchase is in process pursuant to the last paragraph of Article 3(d)) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Future Funding Advance Draw with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(I) Buyer shall have received all such other and further documents and documentation as Buyer in its reasonable discretion shall require in connection with such Future Funding Advance Draw, provided that such documents or documentation are in Seller’s possession or reasonably obtainable to Seller.

The failure or delay of Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Article 3(e)(iii) shall not change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit or waive the right of Seller to request a Future Funding Advance Draw Request at a later date.

(iv) Margin Excess. With respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a written request, to be delivered no more frequently than twice each calendar month (in total together with any prepayments pursuant to Article 3(e)(ii))(a “Margin Excess Request”), requesting that Buyer make an additional advance (a “Margin Excess Advance”) with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset in the amount requested by Seller in such Margin Excess Request that is not less than $1,000,000 (but not to exceed the Margin Excess for such Purchased Asset).

Buyer’s disbursement of any Margin Excess Advance (if any) shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, as determined by Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion (or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waived):

(A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing both as of the date of such request and as of the date of the Margin Excess Advance;

(f) Costs and Expenses. Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a failure by Seller in repurchasing any Purchased Asset on the Early Repurchase Date after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(d) of an Early Repurchase Date, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date (including, without limitation, such cost or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to effect or maintain a Transaction hereunder net of all interest income Buyer may receive by redeploying the Purchase Price at LIBOR from and after the date of

such payment), (iii) any conversion to the Substitute Rate in accordance with Article 3(g) on any day other than a Pricing Rate Determination Date, and/or (iv) any determination by Seller to not sell an Eligible Asset to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A certificate as to such actual costs and expenses setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller.

(g) Alternative Rate. If on the Pricing Rate Determination Date for any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, Buyer shall have determined in the exercise of its sole and absolute business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Pricing Rate Period or that LIBOR has been succeeded by a Substitute Index, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, such Transaction shall be converted to a Substitute Rate Transaction and the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for the Pricing Rate Period to which such Pricing Rate Determination Date relates, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer (which withdrawal shall be delivered by Buyer promptly after Buyer becomes aware that the condition for switching to the Substitute Rate no longer exists), shall be equal to the Substitute Rate based on the Substitute Index in effect on each Pricing Rate Determination Date. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Article 3(g), Buyer shall act in a manner similar to all repurchase facilities of which Buyer is contemporaneously exercising similar remedies in agreements with similarly situated counterparties.

(h) Extension Option. Seller shall have two (2) options to extend the Stated Facility Expiration Date for an additional term of one (1) year (each, an “Extension Term”); provided, that the exercise of each such extension option by Seller shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (i) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a written request to extend the then applicable Stated Facility Expiration Date not less than thirty (30) and not more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the then applicable Stated Facility Expiration Date, (ii) on the date Seller delivers the written request to extend the Stated Facility Expiration Date and on the first day of the Extension Term, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no uncured Margin Deficit in excess of the Margin Threshold then exists, (iii) on the first day of each Extension Term, Seller pays to Buyer any amount payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and (iv) on the first day of the second Extension Term, no Purchased Asset is subject to a Transaction where the related Purchase Date occurred prior to the date which is one (1) calendar year from the Closing Date.

(i) Requirements of Law. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful for Buyer (A) to enter into Transactions, then the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall forthwith be canceled, (B) to maintain or continue Transactions, then a Repurchase Date shall occur for all Transactions on the next Remittance Date or on such earlier date as may be required by law, or (C) to accrue Purchase Price Differential based on a LIBOR rate, then the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Substitute Rate Transactions on the next Pricing Rate Determination Date or within such earlier period as may be required by law, as long as Buyer

contemporaneously acts in a similar manner under all similar repurchase facilities of Buyer. If any termination or conversion of a Transaction shall occur in accordance with subclause (B) or (C) of the preceding sentence, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Article 3(f)(ii).

(2) 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:

(A) shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (i) Covered Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (e) of the definition of Covered Taxes and (iii) Other Connection Taxes) with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

(B) 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 that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer of entering into or maintaining the Transactions, then Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon demand therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost, as long as such increased cost is also assessed against all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(3) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction, as long as such additional amount is also assessed against all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer.

(4) If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any amount pursuant to clauses (2) or (3) above, Buyer shall, within ten (10) Business Days after becoming aware that it is so entitled, notify Seller in writing specifying the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and setting forth the calculation of any such amount, which calculation shall be conclusive evidence of any such amount absent manifest error.

(5) Buyer’s failure or delay to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article 3(i) shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Seller shall not be required to compensate Buyer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that Buyer notifies Seller of the adoption or any change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the adoption or change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

ARTICLE 4

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Credit Event with respect to any Purchased Asset, Buyer may, in its sole discretion exercised in good-faith, re-determine the Market Value for such Purchased Asset for purposes of determining whether a Margin Deficit exists. At any time that a Margin Deficit exceeds an amount equal to $250,000 (the “Margin Threshold”), Buyer may deliver written notice to Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII (a “Margin Call Notice”).

(b) No later than the Margin Call Deadline, Seller shall (at Seller’s election) utilize any combination of the following, so that after giving effect to such transfer or repurchase, no Margin Deficit shall be outstanding: (A) transfer to Buyer cash in reduction of the Purchase Price of Transactions determined by Seller, (B) repurchase one or more Purchased Assets pursuant to Article 3(d), (C) pledge additional collateral acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, (D) deliver a Margin Excess Request and apply a Margin Excess Advance from one or more other Purchased Assets to reduce the Purchase Price of Transactions determined by Seller or (E) any combination of the foregoing clauses (A) through (D).

(c) The failure or delay by Buyer or Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Article 4 shall not (i) change or alter the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) limit or waive the right of Buyer or Seller to exercise its rights under this Agreement at a later date or (iii) in any way create additional rights for any party hereto.

(c) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall establish a segregated deposit account (the “Waterfall Account”) in the name of Seller for the benefit of Buyer at Account Bank.

All amounts required to be deposited to the Waterfall Account shall be sent in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth below.

(d) On each Remittance Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential with respect to such Remittance Date, to the extent not paid to Buyer in accordance with Article 5(g). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, on the Remittance Date occurring in May 2018, Purchase Price Differential shall include accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential calculated from April 19, 2018 through and including the Closing Date for Purchased Assets subject to Transactions on the Effective Date.

(e) Seller shall cause (1) all Income it or Servicer receives with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds into the Servicer Account (which Income in the case of a Principal Payment in full, will be further deposited into the Waterfall Account within such time period) and (2) Servicer to remit on a monthly basis all other funds on deposit in the Servicer Account (net of permitted withdrawals pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) to the Waterfall Account in accordance with the Servicing Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, if Buyer is at any time not a party to the Servicing Agreement, Seller shall cause any Servicer to execute and deliver a Servicer Letter in accordance with Article 27(e). If a Servicer, Mortgagor or any other Person, as applicable, forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to Seller rather than directly to the Servicer Account or

the Servicer, Seller shall (i) take commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer, Mortgagor or Person, as applicable, to forward any such future amounts directly to the Servicer Account or the Servicer, as applicable, and (ii) deposit in the Servicer Account any such amounts within two (2) Business Days of Seller’s receipt thereof. Amounts in the Waterfall Account shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(f) and (g).

(f) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Account Bank shall (i) on each Remittance Date, remit all amounts on deposit in the Waterfall Account in the following amounts and order of priority, and (ii) with respect to Principal Payments on any Purchased Asset received by Account Bank, on the second (2^nd) Business Day after receipt from the Servicer Account remit from the Waterfall Account to Buyer the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by (y) the related Effective Purchase Price Percentage for such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a Principal Payment in full, the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price to zero) together with accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential thereon and remit the balance of such Principal Payments on deposit in the Waterfall Account in the following amounts and order of priority:

(i) first, to pay all fees and other amounts then due and payable to Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (to the extent not previously paid);

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential then due and payable;

(iii) third, to Buyer, an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid amounts (if any) then due and payable pursuant to the Fee Letter;

(iv) fourth, to Buyer, an amount necessary to cure any Margin Deficit in excess of the Margin Threshold;

(v) fifth, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Buyer under any Transaction Document; and

(vi) sixth, the surplus, if any, to Seller.

(g) Upon receipt of notice from Buyer that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and so long as Buyer has not withdrawn such notice, Account Bank shall cease remitting funds to, or at the direction of, Seller pursuant to Article 5(h) and shall instead remit, on each Business Day beginning on the Business Day after receipt of such notice from Buyer, all amounts on deposit in the Waterfall Account as of the prior Business Day to Buyer for application to the Repurchase Obligations in such order of priority as Buyer shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that surplus, if any, after payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations shall be remitted to whoever is lawfully entitled to such surplus.

(h) All remittances by Account Bank shall be made (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in accordance with instructions received from Seller or any Servicer on its behalf and approved by Buyer, and (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, in accordance with instructions received from Buyer.

(i) If the amounts applied by Buyer as provided in Articles 5(f) or (g) above are insufficient to pay all amounts due and payable from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement or any Transaction Document on a Remittance Date, the Repurchase Date, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Seller shall nevertheless remain liable for and shall pay to Buyer when due all such amounts.

(j) Withholding Taxes.

(i) All payments made by Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes unless the withholding or deduction is required by applicable law. If Seller is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any such payment, Seller shall: (i) make such deduction or withholding; (ii) pay the amount so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority not later than the date when due; (iii) deliver to Buyer, as soon as practicable, original tax receipts or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of the payment when due of the full amount of such Taxes; and (iv) if such deduction or withholding are Covered Taxes, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 5) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(ii) In addition, without duplication, Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future recordation, stamp, documentary, intangible, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Transaction Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment of the Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (such Taxes other than Other Connection Taxes, “Other Taxes”).

(iii) Without duplication of the obligation of Seller to pay additional amounts on account of Covered Taxes pursuant to Article 5(j)(i) and to pay Other Taxes pursuant to Article 5(j)(ii), Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer for the full amount of any and all Covered Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Article 5(j)(iii), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, (excluding any Taxes that are neither Covered Taxes nor Other Taxes) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement hereunder, the agreements and obligations of each party contained in this Article 5(j) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(v) If Seller is required by law or regulation to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder and Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of such Taxes, Buyer agrees that it will deliver to Seller and, if applicable, to the authority imposing the Taxes, any certificate or document reasonably requested by Seller that would entitle Buyer to an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding or deduction of Taxes from amounts payable hereunder by Seller to Buyer. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer (and any U.S. Person that is an acquirer of any of the rights and obligations of Buyer as an assignee under this Agreement) shall deliver to Seller on or before the Closing Date (or in the case of an assignee that is a U.S. Person on or before the date when such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) two duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer (or assignee) is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. If a Person acquires any of the rights and obligations of Buyer as an assignee under this Agreement, and such Person is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-U.S. Person”), then such Non-U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller on or before the date when such Person becomes a party to this Agreement, two duly completed and executed copies of, as applicable, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor forms thereto designated as such by the IRS. If the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for and wishes to claim exemption from US federal withholding tax under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” then such Person shall deliver both the Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E and a statement certifying that such Person is not a bank, a “10 percent shareholder” or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. If any previously delivered form or statement becomes inaccurate with respect to the Person that delivered it, the Person shall promptly notify Seller of this fact. If a payment made to a Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Person shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Person has complied with such Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Article 5(j)(v), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(vi) [Reserved].

(vii) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or credit for the withholding taxes paid under Section 5(j)(i) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Article 5(j) (including by the

payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 5(j)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the indemnity payments made under this Article 5(j) with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 5(j)(vii) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5(j)(vii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amounts to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 5(j)(vii) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to the indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(viii) If Buyer requests compensation under this Article 5(j), Seller may, at its option, within thirty (30) days after delivery of such request, terminate this facility by payment in full to Buyer of the then outstanding Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets and any other amounts then otherwise due and payable under the facility (excluding any compensation which is not already due and payable pursuant to this Agreement), and, in connection with any such termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, there shall be no Exit Fee or prepayment fee or premium due.

ARTICLE 6

SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets (other than as described in Article 21(g)). However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in the event that a court or other forum re-characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to Buyer to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which Seller is a party and all other amounts owing by Seller to Buyer hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, if any determination is made that any Mezzanine Loan which is a

Purchased Asset was not sold by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or that mezzanine loans do not qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code, then Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer as further security for Seller’s obligations to Buyer hereunder, a continuing first priority security interest in and Lien upon each such Mezzanine Loan which constitutes a Purchased Asset hereunder, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto (such pledge, the “Related Credit Enhancement”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean:

(i) the Waterfall Account and the Servicer Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Waterfall Account and the Servicer Account and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(ii) the Purchased Items.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted]

(c) Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral and the Waterfall Account shall terminate only upon satisfaction of the Repurchase Obligations. Upon such satisfaction and upon request of Seller, Buyer shall deliver promptly, at Seller’s sole expense, to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return (or approve the return by Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, as applicable) the Purchased Assets, Purchased Items, Purchased Asset Documents and Purchased Asset Files to Seller and reconvey the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Collateral and the Waterfall Account, such release to be effective automatically without further action by any party. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Buyer in its reasonable discretion 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

(d) Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights granted to it pursuant to Article 27. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the grant of a security interest pursuant to Article 6(a), and in the event that Seller is deemed by a court, other forum or otherwise to retain any residual Servicing Rights (notwithstanding that such Servicing Rights are Purchased Items hereunder), and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Rights constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Section 741(7)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay or extension law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Asset may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the Buyers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives until the Repurchase Obligations are paid in full, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 7

TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the related proposed Purchased Assets and other Purchased Items shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price for such proposed Purchased Asset to an account of Seller specified in the related Confirmation and such proposed Purchased Asset shall become a Purchased Asset hereunder.

(b) Seller shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct (including through a bailee) that such Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly with the Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with a written request acknowledged in writing by Buyer and otherwise in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian, with copy to Buyer, additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved (if and to the extent required) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents (which shall be clearly marked as to which Purchased Asset File such documents relate) Custodian will be required to hold such other documents in the related Purchased Asset File in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to each Purchased Asset shall pass to Buyer on the related Purchase Date, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole discretion, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer (i) of its obligations to transfer the same Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 or (ii) of its obligation to apply all amounts as required under Article 5(f).

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

(ff) Intentionally Omitted.

(gg) No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of the Transactions.

No part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used, directly or, with Seller’s Knowledge, indirectly (i) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or (ii) to fund or finance any activities or business of or with any individual or entity or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding or financing, is subject to country-wide or territory-wide Economic Sanctions (including, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) or of or with any individual or entity that, at the time of such funding or financing, is subject to Economic Sanctions.

(ii) Prohibited Persons. No Seller Party is a Prohibited Person, or is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is subject to country-wide or territory-wide Economic Sanctions (including, as of the date hereof, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria).

NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF SELLER

On and as of the date hereof and at all times while this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is in effect, Seller shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(f) Operations. Seller shall continue to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by it or otherwise as approved by Buyer prior to the date hereof. Seller shall maintain records with respect to the Collateral and the conduct and operation of its business with no less a degree of prudence than if the Collateral were held by Seller for its own account and shall furnish Buyer, upon reasonable request by Buyer or its designated representative, with reasonable information obtainable by Seller with respect to the Collateral and the conduct and operation of its business.

(i) At the option of Buyer, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, immediately occur (such date, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 13(b)(i):

(A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date and Buyer may immediately terminate all Transactions pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in each case, with notice to Seller (except such termination shall be deemed to have occurred, even if notice is not given, upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency);

(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 Purchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Account Bank or Seller pursuant to this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 13(b)(ii)(D));

(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 Assets; and

(D) Buyer may in accordance with Requirements of Law (1) immediately after the Accelerated Repurchase Date, sell any and all of the Purchased Assets in its sole discretion, and/or (2) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Purchased Assets, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to sub-clause (1) above shall be applied by Buyer in the order and manner set forth in Article 5(g).

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets subject to any Transaction hereunder are not instruments traded in a recognized market, (B) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Asset, the Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with any applicable Requirements of Law and (C) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets). The parties recognize

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

(iv) Seller shall be liable to Buyer and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all actual losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default.

(v) 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 (where relevant), 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 Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vi) 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 that Buyer may have.

(vii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(c) Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a right of set-off, without notice to Seller, any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against (i) any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller and (ii) any and all deposits (general or specified), monies, credits, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received for the account of Seller (whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise) by Buyer or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Buyer or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Buyer, wherever located).

Buyer and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, to set-off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set-off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, irrespective of whether Buyer or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Article 13(c) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Article 13(c) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER.

ARTICLE 14

SINGLE AGREEMENT

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder (as well as the grant of the security interest in Article 6 hereof) constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments,

deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 15

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

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

ARTICLE 16

NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery or (d) by electronic mail to the address and person specified in Exhibit I hereto or to such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Article 16. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (w) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (x) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery, upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic communication confirming receipt thereof. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 17

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

ARTICLE 18

NON-ASSIGNABILITY

(a) No Seller Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer (which may be

granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion) and any attempt by any Seller Party to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void.

(b) Buyer may, without consent of Seller, at any time and from time to time, assign or participate some or all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction (subject to Article 8(a)) to any Person that is not a Prohibited Transferee or an Affiliate of any Mortgagor and, in connection therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Buyer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest. In connection with any sale, assignment or transfer by initial Buyer hereunder (other than a sale, assignment or transfer by initial Buyer of one hundred percent (100%) of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents) provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) initial Buyer shall retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (including Buyer’s rights to (A) sole decision-making to determine whether to purchase any Eligible Asset in a Transaction and (B) determine the Market Value of the Purchased Assets, in each case in accordance with the Transaction Documents) and any Transaction and (ii) Seller shall not be obligated or required to deal directly with any Person other than Buyer, and (iii) Buyer will give written notice of any such assignment or participation within five (5) calendar days of the effective date thereof.

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

(d) Seller shall maintain a record of ownership (the “Register”) identifying the name and address of each assignee hereunder and the amount of each such assignee’s interest in the Purchased Assets, which Register is intended to be maintained in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Transfers made pursuant to Article 18(b) shall be recorded upon such Register. Such Register shall be available for inspection by Buyer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller and Buyer shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Buyer sells a participation with respect to its rights under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document with respect to the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall, acting for this purposes as an agent of Seller, maintain a record of ownership (the “Participant Register”) identifying the name and address of each participant and the amount of each such participant’s interest in the Purchased Assets, provided that the Buyer and any such other participant shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participation Register (including the identity of any participant or any information related to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent necessary to establish that such interests are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the

Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owners of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f) Buyer shall cause each assignee, participant or other transferee of Buyer to provide to Seller a property completed and duly executed United States Internal Revenue Service form X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X, X-0XXX, or W-8IMY and/or, as appropriate, other applicable forms as described by the United States Internal Revenue Service or other certifications reasonably requested by Seller for purposes of compliance with applicable withholding provisions pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and underlying Treasury Regulations. Buyer and each assignee, participant or transferee hereby agrees to notify Seller of any change in circumstance that causes a certificate or document provided by it to Seller to no longer be true and to provide updated forms upon the obsolescence of any previously delivered form or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. Seller shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts hereunder that may result from the tax status of any assignee, participant or transferee differing from the tax status of Buyer.

ARTICLE 19

GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY HEREUNDER) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

ARTICLE 20

NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 21

INTENT

(a) The parties intend and acknowledge that (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (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(7) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), (ii) each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan,” “an interest in a mortgage loan” or a “security” as such terms are used in the Bankruptcy Code and (iii) all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments,” “settlement payments,” or “transfers” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to set-off or net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 13 is in each case a contractual right to cause or exercise such right as described in Sections 362(b)(6), 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties intend and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and as used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” with the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) The parties intend and acknowledge that any provisions hereof or in any other document, agreement or instrument that is related in any way to this Agreement shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise Tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing from Buyer to Seller (or any person from whom Seller is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and that Seller (or any person from whom Seller is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) be (except to the extent that Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence (such as on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

ARTICLE 22

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

ARTICLE 23

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS

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

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

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent each may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Article 23 shall affect the right of either party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of either party to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

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

(e) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER FROM THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES, WHETHER THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES WAS KNOWN AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OF ACTION.

ARTICLE 24

NO RELIANCE

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

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

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

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

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

(e) no joint venture exists between Buyer and any Seller Party; and

(f) it is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given to the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guarantee 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.

ARTICLE 25

INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

(a) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses or disbursements (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (all of the foregoing included amounts, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that 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 arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, or as a result of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any Event of Default or any Transaction or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law 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 the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all Indemnified Amounts 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 any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof 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 Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under any Transaction Document or Transaction, including without limitation the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its outside counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligations of Seller hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller.

(b) Seller agrees to pay or reimburse on demand all of Buyer’s costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Transaction Document or any Transaction thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or such Transaction is ultimately consummated, (ii) the consummation and administration of any Transaction, (iii) any enforcement of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents, any preservation of the Buyer’s rights under the Transaction Documents or any performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of any Purchased Asset, 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, filing and recording costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, (iv) the maintenance of the Waterfall Account and registering the Collateral

in the name of Buyer or its nominee, (v) any default by Seller in repurchasing the Purchased Asset after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(e) of an Early Repurchase Date, (vi) [Intentionally Omitted], (vii) any failure by Seller to sell any Eligible Asset to Buyer on the Purchase Date thereof, (viii) any actions taken to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Document, (ix) Buyer owning any Purchased Asset or other Purchased Item until the time Buyer exercises its right to sell all of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Article 13(b)(ii)(D)(1) after an Event of Default and/or (x) any due diligence performed by Buyer in accordance with Article 26. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs and expenses, setting forth the calculations thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error.

(d) This Article 25 shall have no application with respect to Taxes other than any Covered Taxes that represent, losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

ARTICLE 26

DUE DILIGENCE

(a) Seller acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Seller Parties and Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise. Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior written notice from Buyer (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required), Seller shall provide (or shall cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to provide) reasonable access to Buyer and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns to the offices of Seller, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, during normal business hours and permit them to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of such party.

(b) Seller agrees that it shall, promptly upon reasonable request of Buyer, deliver (or shall cause to be delivered) to Buyer and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns copies of any documents permitted to be reviewed by Buyer in accordance with Article 26(a).

(c) Seller agrees to make available (or to cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to make available) to Buyer and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns (i) in person at the time of any inspection pursuant to Article 26(a) or (ii) upon prior written notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required and there shall be no limitation on frequency), by phone, as applicable, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer or asset manager, as applicable, of Seller, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing Persons, or any other matters relating to the Transaction Documents or any Transaction that Buyer wishes to discuss with such Person.

(d) 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 Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such underwriting with respect to any individual Purchased Asset; provided, that with respect to any individual Purchased Asset as to which Buyer engages a third party underwriter, Seller shall not be responsible for payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses of such underwriter in excess of $2,000 per Purchased Asset during any twelve (12) consecutive month period. Seller agrees to 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 Assets in the possession, or under the control, of any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(e) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have the right to commission and order an Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property at any time and from time to time, and Seller shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in obtaining such Appraisals once annually with any additional Appraisals to be ordered at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the commission or order of any Appraisal by Buyer, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Mortgagor to cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any such Appraisal, including, without limitation, by providing Buyer with access to the Mortgaged Property.

(f) Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer on demand for any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence activities pursuant to this Article 26.

ARTICLE 27

SERVICING

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis and Buyer is the sole owner of all Servicing Rights so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be granted a revocable license (which license shall automatically be revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause the Servicer to service the Purchased Assets in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Article 27 and for the benefit of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not take any Significant Modification of any Purchased Asset without first having given prior notice thereof to Buyer in each such instance and receiving the prior written consent of Buyer.

(b) The obligation of Servicer (or Seller to cause Servicer) to service any of the Purchased Assets shall cease, at Buyer’s option, upon the earliest of (i) Buyer’s termination of Servicer in accordance with Article 27(c) or (ii) the transfer of servicing to any other Servicer and the assumption of such servicing by such other Servicer. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any termination of Servicer. Upon any termination of Servicer, if no Event of

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall at its sole cost and expense transfer the servicing of the affected Purchased Assets to another Servicer approved by Buyer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, as expeditiously as possible.

(c) Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer with respect to any Purchased Asset (i) upon the occurrence of a default by the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or Servicer Letter (as applicable) or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, either for cause or without cause, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

(d) Seller shall not, and shall not permit Servicer to, employ any sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller shall irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest in the servicing agreement with such sub-servicer to Buyer.

(e) Seller shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicer to service the Purchased Assets in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect to any Servicing Agreement as to which Buyer is not a party, Seller shall cause Servicer (at the request of Buyer) and any sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a letter agreement with Buyer in a form acceptable to Buyer (a “Servicer Letter”) acknowledging Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets and agreeing to remit all Income received with respect to the Purchased Asset to the Waterfall Account in accordance with Article 5(e) or as otherwise directed by Buyer in accordance with the Servicer Letter.

(f) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records relating to the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to the Servicing Agreement, 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 Assets (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to (or to cause Servicer to) safeguard such Servicing Records which are in Seller’s or Servicer’s possession, as applicable, and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(g) The payment of servicing fees under the Servicing Agreement shall be solely the responsibility of Seller and shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding and due to Buyer under the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 28

MISCELLANEOUS

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

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

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

(d) 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.

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

(g) 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.

(h) Unless otherwise specifically enumerated, wherever pursuant to this Agreement Buyer exercises any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to, Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer shall decide to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole and absolute discretion subject, in each case, to the terms set forth in the last paragraph of Article 2 and such decision by Buyer shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

(i) Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that except to the extent of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) of the Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, (a) all obligations of Seller under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are recourse obligations solely of Seller, and (b) none of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are recourse to the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, subsidiaries, members, partners, officers, directors or personnel.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Buyer agrees to keep confidential all non-public information delivered by or on behalf of Seller or either Guarantor or any of their Affiliates and shall not disclose such information other than as permitted or required pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) through (f), inclusive, except that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such information relating solely to any Purchased Asset and the Collateral, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any such information relating to a Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, shall be automatically excluded from the provisions of this Article 28(j) solely to the extent that disclosure is required to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 28(j) to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Buyer or any of its Representatives in violation of this Article 28(j); (ii) is or becomes available to Buyer or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller not known to Buyer or its Representatives to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality after due inquiry; (iii) is independently developed by Buyer or any of its Representatives without use of or reliance on, either directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information; (iv) was known to or in the possession of Buyer or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis, without appropriate documentary evidence thereof, prior to disclosure by Seller.

“Treasury Regulations” shall mean applicable final or temporary regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

A. Whole Loans. With respect to each Whole Loan that is a Purchased Asset:

(1) Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing Records are in the possession of the Servicer.

(2) Type of Purchased Asset; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Purchased Asset was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation or pledge, and the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Purchased Asset Documents) and Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and upon the insertion of Buyer’s name where applicable and countersignature by Buyer where applicable, the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Asset.

(3) Purchased Asset File. The Purchased Asset File contains a true, correct and complete copy (or, if required by the Custodial Agreement, original) of each document evidencing or securing the Purchased Asset, or affecting the rights of any holder thereof. With respect to any document contained in the Purchased Asset File that is required to be recorded or filed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Custodial Agreement, such document is in form suitable for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate jurisdiction and has been or will be recorded or filed as required by the Custodial Agreement. With respect to each assignment, assumption, modification, consolidation or extension contained in the Purchased Asset File, if the document or agreement being assigned, assumed, modified, consolidated or extended is required to be recorded or filed, such assignment, assumption, modification, consolidation or extension is in form suitable for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate jurisdiction.

Ex. X-2

(4) Whole Loans. Such Mortgage Loan is a Whole Loan and not a Senior Interest or other partial interest in a Whole Loan.

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

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

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

(7) Hotel Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hotel property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement or license agreement include an executed copy of such franchise agreement or license agreement as well as a comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property enforceable by the Buyer or any subsequent holder of such Mortgage Loan (including a securitization trustee) against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator, or pursuant to a replacement comfort letter or similar agreement with Buyer. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a valid and enforceable security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

Ex. X-3

(8) Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, (a) the material terms of each Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related operative Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) the Mortgagor has not been released from its material obligations under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

(9) Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the related Seller Asset Schedule and Exception Report, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) or any other title exceptions identified to Buyer in a Requested Exceptions Report (“Title Exceptions”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances or any Title Exceptions) as of the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan and as of the related Purchase Date, to Seller’s Knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy, and, to the Seller’s Knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and any other Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(10) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures

Ex. X-4

for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the Seller’s Knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(11) Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured (and any other Purchased Assets that are cross-collateralized and/or cross defaulted with a Purchased Asset) by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except as set forth on the related Transaction Request, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (9) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth on the related Transaction Request, to Seller’s Knowledge there is no mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

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

Ex. X-5

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

(14) Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset (or related Mortgage Loan, as applicable) inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property no more than six (6) months prior to the origination of such Purchased Asset (or related Mortgage Loan, as applicable) or no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date, which indicates that the related Mortgaged Property is free of any material damage, except to the extent that such material damage (i) would not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the related Purchased Asset, (ii) has been repaired in all material respects or (iii) has not yet been repaired but is addressed by the escrow of funds established in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrowed amount will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of the necessary repairs. Seller has no Knowledge of any issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or property condition assessment and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

(15) Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien on the Mortgage and that have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably

Ex. X-6

estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(16) Condemnation. As of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and to the Seller’s Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

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

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

(19) No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the related Transaction Request has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback), except as set forth in the related Confirmation.

(20) Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, “A”

Ex. X-7

from Moody’s or “A-” from S&P (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (x) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (y) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the related Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

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

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

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

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

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

Ex. X-8

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the related Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Buyer. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than ten (10) days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

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

(22) No Encroachments. To the Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset (or related Mortgage Loan, as applicable), (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset (or related Mortgage Loan, as applicable) are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use

Ex. X-9

of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy, (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that do not violate the terms of the easement, do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

(23) No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller.

(24) REMIC. Seller shall only make the representations in the following paragraphs with respect to Purchased Assets which have been identified by Seller to Buyer, in writing, as REMIC-eligible Purchased Assets: The Purchased Asset is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Purchased Asset to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Asset and (B) either: (a) such Purchased Asset is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Asset was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Asset and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Asset; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Asset (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Purchased Asset was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Asset or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Asset was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Asset constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(25) Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

Ex. X-10

(26) Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, Seller and any Affiliate of Seller is, and to Seller’s Knowledge, any other holder of a Mortgage Note (that is not an Affiliate of Seller) was, authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by any holder thereof.

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

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

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

(30) Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related

Ex. X-11

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

(31) Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. Seller shall only make the representations in the following sentence with respect to Purchased Assets which have been identified by Seller to Buyer, in writing, as REMIC-eligible Purchased Assets: With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (c) either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Purchased Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Asset to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for all Purchased Assets originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Asset outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by any applicable legal requirements relating to any “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code that holds any interest in all or any portion of such Purchased Asset.

Ex. X-12

With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (d) for all Purchased Assets originated after December 6, 2010, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Purchased Asset in an amount not less than the amount required by any applicable legal requirements relating to any “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code that holds any interest in all or any portion of such Purchased Asset and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Purchased Asset.

No Purchased Asset that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Purchased Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the any applicable legal requirements relating to any “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code that holds any interest in all or any portion of such Purchased Asset.

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

(33) Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not

Ex. X-13

Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Buyer. Each related Mezzanine Loan obligates the related Mezzanine Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mezzanine Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mezzanine Borrower’s cost and expense and to charge such Mezzanine Borrower for related premiums.
