Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period in Buyer’s sole discretion, and notify Seller of such rate for such period each such Pricing Rate Determination Date.

(d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, other than with respect to the Maximum Advance Rate or the applicable Pricing Rate set forth in the related Confirmation, the Confirmation shall prevail.

(e) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand and repurchase the Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Asset, setting forth the Early Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the Purchased Asset to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to such Early Repurchase Date (unless such early repurchase is in connection with curing a Margin Defect or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Exhibit V, or in connection with any of the events described in Article 3(h) having occurred, in which case such advance notice shall not be required),

(ii) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Asset, (y) any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(i) of this Agreement) with respect to such Purchased Asset against transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets and any related Hedging Transactions, and

(iii) on such Early Repurchase Date, in addition to the amounts set forth in sub clause (ii) above, Seller pays to Buyer an amount sufficient to reduce the Purchase Price for all other Purchased Assets to an amount equal to the Buyer’s Margin Amount for each such Purchased Asset.

(f) On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets being repurchased and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Upon extension of the Outside Repurchase Date pursuant to Article 3(m), the Repurchase Date for any Purchased Asset shall be automatically extended to the earlier of (i) the new Outside Repurchase Date as so extended pursuant to Article 3(m) and (ii) the maturity date of the Purchased Asset (as the same may be extended pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents for such Purchased Asset).

(g) If prior to the first (1st) day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Pricing Rate Period (provided Buyer has performed (to the extent possible) the procedures for determining LIBOR Rate set forth in the definition of LIBOR in Article 2), or (ii) LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as determined and certified by Buyer) of making or maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, then Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances, establish the Pricing Rate at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”) until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer. Buyer shall not convert any Transaction to an Alternative Rate Transaction or maintain any such Transaction as an Alternative Rate Transaction unless Buyer is converting other transactions to similarly situated sellers in a similar fashion.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions or, if such adoption of or change in Requirement of Law makes it unlawful for Buyer to continue to maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law; provided, however, that to the extent any such determination by Buyer and imposition of Alternative Rate Transactions apply to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer, such determination and imposition of Alternative Rate Transactions will not be applied solely to Seller. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Article 3(l) of this Agreement.

(i) Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss, 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) default by Seller in repurchasing any Purchased Asset on the proposed Early Repurchase Date, after Seller has given written notice in accordance with Article 3(e), (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date, including Breakage Costs, (iii) a default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed in writing to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Buyer’s enforcement of the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue any Lien created under any Transaction Documents, and/or (vi) Buyer entering into any of the Transaction Documents or owning any Purchased Item. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller in writing and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error.

(j) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject Buyer or any Transferee to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) under this Agreement, or its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligation, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any Reserve Requirements, other reserves, 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

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that to the extent any such determination by Buyer and imposition of such increased costs apply to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer, such determination and imposition of such increased costs will not be applied solely to Seller. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(k) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that to the extent any such determination by Buyer and imposition of such increased costs apply to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer, such determination and imposition of such increased costs will not be applied solely to Seller. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(l) If Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the last day of a Pricing Rate Period, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer sustains as a direct consequence thereof (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error. This Article 3(l) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

(m) (i) Notwithstanding the definition of Outside Repurchase Date herein, upon written request of Seller prior to the then current Outside Repurchase Date, provided that all of the extension conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Outside Repurchase Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, Buyer may in its sole discretion agree to extend the Outside Repurchase Date for one (1) or more additional periods of 364 additional calendar days (each, an “Extension Period”) by giving notice to Seller of such extension; provided, that any failure by Buyer to deliver such notice of extension to Seller within twenty (20) calendar days from the date Seller’s extension request is first received by Buyer shall be deemed a denial of Seller’s request to extend such Outside Repurchase Date.

(ii) For purposes of this Article 3(m), the Outside Repurchase Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied if:

(A) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice of Seller’s request to extend the Outside Repurchase Date, (x) with respect to the initial request to extend the Outside Repurchase Date, not less than twenty (20) calendar days prior, and no more than fifty (50) calendar days prior to the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, and (y) with respect to any subsequent requests to extend the Outside Repurchase Date, not less than twenty (20) calendar days prior, and no more than fifty (50) calendar days prior to the next succeeding anniversary of the Closing Date;

(B) no Material Adverse Effect, Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date notice is given under sub clause (ii) above or as of the date Buyer agrees to extend the Outside Repurchase Date and no “Termination Event,” “Event of Default” or “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event by Seller, however denominated, shall have occurred and be continuing under any Hedging Transaction; and

(C) all representations and warranties shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects as of the date of Seller’s request to extend the Outside Repurchase Date and on the date upon which Buyer agrees to extend the Outside Repurchase Date (except, in each case, for the MTM Representations and to the extent otherwise set forth on an approved Requested Exceptions Report); provided, however, that if any such representation or warranty shall become untrue, incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate following the date of Seller’s request or Buyer’s agreement to extend pursuant to this Article 3(m), Buyer agrees that it shall not rescind such extension, however Buyer may exercise any and all remedies provided under this Agreement.

(n) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable 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 3) the applicable Buyer or Transferee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(o) Seller shall timely pay, without duplication, (i) any Other Taxes imposed on such Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) any Other Taxes imposed on Buyer or Transferee upon written notice from such Person setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Other Taxes.

(p) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Article 3, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or Transferee the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer or Transferee.

(q) Seller shall indemnify Buyer and each Transferee, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Article 3) payable or paid by Buyer or such Transferee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Buyer or Transferee

and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability setting forth in reasonable detail calculation of the amount of such payment or liability (together with a certified copy of the return reporting such payment, if applicable, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Seller) delivered to Seller by Buyer or such Transferee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(r) Any Buyer or Assignee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer or Assignee, 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 or Assignee is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Articles 3(r)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s or Assignee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer or such Assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer or such Assignee.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) Buyer and any Assignee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer or such Assignee acquires an interest under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that Buyer or Assignee is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Assignee claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-1 to the effect that such Foreign Assignee is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of

Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Assignee is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-2 or Exhibit VIII-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Assignee is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Assignee are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Assignee may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Assignee shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Assignee acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(s) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Article 3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Article 3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 3(s) (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 3(s), in no event will the indemnified party be

required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 3(s) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts 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.

(t) Each party’s obligations under this Article 3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or Assignee, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(u) If any Buyer or Assignee requests compensation under Article 3 or, if Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer or any Assignee or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer or Assignee pursuant to Article 3(i), or if any Buyer or Assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Buyer or Assignee, require such Buyer or Assignee to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article 17), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Articles 3(g) or (i)) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Buyer, if a Buyer accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for all Transactions, Price Differential accreted with respect thereto, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Repurchase Price principal and accreted Price Differential and fees) or Seller (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Article 3(g) or payments required to be made pursuant to Article 3(i), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Buyer or Assignee shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or Assignee or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(v) On any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date, Seller shall have the right, from time to time, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset without terminating the Transaction and without release of any Purchased Items; provided, that (i) any such reduction in outstanding Purchase Price occurring on a date other than a Remittance Date shall be required to be accompanied by payment of all unpaid accrued Price Differential as of the applicable Business Day on the amount of such reduction, and (ii) Seller provides Buyer with one (1) Business Day prior notice with respect to any reduction in outstanding Purchase Price occurring on any date that is not a Remittance Date. In connection with any such reduction of outstanding Purchase Price pursuant to this Article 3(v), Buyer and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Any transfer of cash made pursuant to this Article 3(v) shall be in an amount equal to or greater than £1,000,000.

(w) If at any time prior to the Repurchase Date there exists Margin Availability with respect to a Purchased Asset, Seller may, on any Business Day, submit to Buyer a request that Buyer transfer cash to Seller (in the applicable Currency of the Purchased Asset) so as to increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset in the amount (not to exceed the Margin Availability) requested by Seller (a “Margin Availability Advance”). The Margin Availability Advance shall be funded by Buyer on the date requested by Seller (which requested funding date shall one (1) Business Day following the date of Seller’s delivery of a request for a Margin Availability Advance if such request for a Margin Availability Advance is delivered by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day). It shall be a

condition to Buyer’s obligation to make any Margin Availability Advance that (i) as of the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, and (ii) the funding of the Margin Availability Advance would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount. In connection with any funding of a Margin Availability Advance pursuant to this Article 3(w), Buyer and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Any Margin Availability Advance shall be in an amount equal to or greater than £1,000,000.

(x) Subject to Article 4, at any time prior to the Repurchase Date, in the event a future funding is made or is to be made by Seller pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents for a Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a request that Buyer transfer cash to Seller (in the applicable Currency of the Purchased Asset) in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Advance Rate multiplied by the amount of such future funding (a “Future Funding Advance”), which Future Funding Advance shall increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to make any Future Funding Advance that (i) as of the funding of such Future Funding Advance, no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Future Funding Advance, (ii) the funding of the Future Funding Advance would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount, and (iii) Seller shall have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that all conditions to the future funding under the Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied in all material respects. Buyer shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Article 3(x) (and in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller in such request) on the date requested by Seller, which date shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days following the delivery of a modified Confirmation for the applicable Transaction (as more particularly described below) and the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which Buyer reasonably determines that the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to make any Future Funding Advance as set forth in this Article 3(x) have been satisfied (or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waived). In connection with any funding of a Future Funding Advance pursuant to this Article 3(x), Buyer and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Advance Rate and outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset and any other modifications to the terms set forth on the existing Confirmation. Any Future Funding Advance shall be in an amount equal to or greater than £1,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be obligated to make any Future Funding Advance unless Seller has previously or simultaneously with Buyer’s funding of a Future Funding Advance funded or caused to be funded to the underlying borrower (or to an escrow agent or as otherwise directed by the underlying Borrower) in respect of such Purchased Asset.

ARTICLE 4.

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a) If at any time Buyer’s Margin Amount for any Purchased Asset is less than the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset (a “Margin Deficit”), then, so long as such Margin Deficit equals or exceeds £150,000, Buyer may by notice to Seller in the form of Exhibit VII (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) require Seller to (i) repurchase such Purchased Asset at its Repurchase Price, (ii) make a payment in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, or (iii) choose any combination of the foregoing, such that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases and payments, Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Purchased Asset, shall be equal to or greater than the related Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Seller shall perform the obligations under this Article 4(a) by the close of the next succeeding Business Day if the Margin Deficit Notice was received by Seller prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time, or, the second (2nd) succeeding Business Day if the Margin Notice was received by Seller after 3:00 p.m. New York City time (the “Margin Deadline”).

(b) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(c) In addition to the Approved Valuations delivered by Seller in accordance with Article 11(z), Buyer shall have the right to require additional Approved Valuations from time-to-time relating to any or all of the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall request such additional Approved Valuations in writing and Seller shall procure and deliver such requested Approved Valuations within forty five (45) Business Days of receipt of such request (or such other time period as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion). In the event that any additional Approved Valuation relating to a Purchased Asset and requested pursuant to this Article 4(c), when considered together with the other criteria used to determine Market Value in accordance with this Agreement, results in a Margin Deficit relating to the applicable Purchased Asset, then the cost of such additional valuation shall be an obligation of Seller. In the event that any additional Approved Valuation relating to a Purchased Asset and requested pursuant to this Article 4(c), when considered together with the other criteria used to determine Market Value in accordance with this Agreement, does not result in a Margin Deficit relating to the applicable Purchased Asset, then the cost of such additional valuation shall be an obligation of Buyer.

ARTICLE 5.

INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) The Depository Account shall be established at the Depository and shall be subject to the Depository Agreement which shall be executed and delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Depository Account. The Depository Account shall, at all times, be subject to the Depository Agreement. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall be deposited directly by the underlying obligor of each Purchased Asset or as directed by the Primary Servicer in accordance with the Primary Servicing Agreement (or by any other servicer and related direct agreement, to the extent any Purchased Asset is not serviced by the Primary Servicer). Depository shall then apply such Income in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(c) and (d) of this Agreement.

(b) For all Purchased Assets Seller shall deliver to each servicer or trustee, as applicable, with respect to such Purchased Asset an irrevocable direction letter in the form of Exhibit XI (the “Re-direction Letter”), instructing the applicable party with respect to such Purchased Asset to pay all amounts payable under the related Purchased Asset into the Depository Account. If any such party with respect to the Purchased Asset forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to the Collection Account, rather than directly to the Depository Account, Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, deliver an additional Re-direction Letter to the applicable party with respect to the Purchased Asset and make other best efforts to cause such party to forward such amounts directly to the Depository Account. Any such funds on deposit in the Collection Account will be transferred to the Depository Account as directed by the Primary Servicer in accordance with the Primary Servicing Agreement.

(c) So long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit with respect to any Purchased Asset shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Assets (other than scheduled or unscheduled Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) and the associated Hedging Transactions during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding as of such Remittance Date and (B) to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, any amount then due and payable to an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or Qualified Hedge Counterparty, as applicable, under any Hedging Transaction related to a Purchased Asset;

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(iii) third, to the Seller, the remainder, if any.

(d) So long as no Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing, any Principal Payments shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Depository Account in the following order of priority:

(i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, until the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to the Buyer’s Margin Amount for such Purchased Asset as of the date of such payment (as determined by Buyer after giving effect to such Principal Payment and application of net sales proceeds, if applicable) and (B) solely with respect to any Hedging Transaction with an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or Qualified Hedge Counterparty, as applicable, related to such Purchased Asset, to such Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or Qualified Hedge Counterparty, as applicable, an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid breakage costs under such Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased Asset;

(ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document; and

(iii) third, to the Seller, any remainder.

(e) If Buyer shall have determined that a Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing, but no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) received by the Depository in respect of a Purchased Asset shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

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. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans 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 Purchased Items (as defined below) to Buyer to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other amounts owing by it to Buyer hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents, including any obligations of Seller under any Hedging Transaction entered into with any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty and to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service the Purchased Assets in conformity with Article 27 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller agrees to xxxx its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder. All of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”:

(i) the Purchased Assets and all “securities accounts” (as defined in Article 8-501(a) of the UCC) to which any or all of the Purchased Assets are credited;

(ii) the Purchased Asset Documents, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, insurance policies relating to the Purchased Assets, and collection and escrow accounts and letters of credit relating to the Purchased Assets;

(iii) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “investment property”, “instruments”, “securities accounts” and “deposit accounts”, each as defined in the UCC, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and

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

(b) Without limiting Article 6(a) hereto, to secure payment of the Repurchase Obligations owing to Buyer, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, hereinafter referred to as the “Collateral”:

(i) any and all interests of Seller in, to and under (A) the Depository Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Depository Account and (B) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Account;

(ii) the Purchased Items;

(iii) all servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Assets and all Servicing Records;

(iv) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(v) Seller’s rights, but not obligations, under each Hedging Transaction, if any, relating to the Purchased Assets to secure the Repurchase Obligations.

(c) Buyer agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties with respect to the security interest granted hereby to secure the obligations owing to the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties under any Hedging Transactions, including, without limitation, with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(d) Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement, all Hedging Transactions and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith and the other Transaction Documents including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller repurchasing each Purchased Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall not terminate upon Buyer’s determination of the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to be zero. Upon such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Collateral. 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 Delaware 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 Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements

(collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder).

(e) Seller acknowledges that neither it nor Guarantor has rights to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights as a party to the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller or Guarantor is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, each of Seller and Guarantor grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. 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 Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE 7.

PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Asset shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller or an Acceptable Attorney pursuant to an escrow letter or other undertaking approved by Buyer, in its sole discretion specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction.

(b) On or before each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian, as applicable, or one or more Acceptable Attorneys, each pursuant to an Undertaking Letter and shall cause the applicable Release Letter, Security Deed and Transfer Certificate to the Custodian (or Bailee, as applicable). Subject to Article 7(c), in connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Asset, on or prior to each Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to the Buyer a copy of each document as specified in the Purchased Asset File, pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets relating to each Transaction, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole but good faith discretion.

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Buyer and to the applicable Acceptable Attorney additional copies of, originals of, documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, the applicable Acceptable Attorney shall hold such other documents in accordance with the related Undertaking Letter. With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Buyer, its designee (including the Custodian), or the Acceptable Attorney, as the case may be, Seller shall have executed and delivered to Buyer each omnibus power of attorney substantially in the forms of Exhibit IV attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its attorney in fact with full power to (i) complete the Transfer Certificates relating to the Purchased Assets, (ii) complete the preparation and filing, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, of such financing statements, continuation statements, and other UCC forms, as Buyer may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, (iii) enforce Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and to, and (iv) take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against, under or with respect to such Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records; provided that Buyer agrees not to and shall not exercise its rights under such power of attorney unless a monetary Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Purchased Asset Files shall

be maintained in accordance with the applicable Undertaking Letter and the Custodial Agreement, as applicable. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer. The applicable Acceptable Attorney and the Custodian shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with the terms of the Undertaking Letter and only if required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller or as otherwise required by law.

(d) Buyer hereby grants to Seller a revocable option to direct Buyer with respect to the exercise of all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and to vote, take corporate actions and exercise any rights in connection with the Purchased Assets, so long as no monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Default or an Event of Default or with respect to the exercise of any voting or corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets that could materially impair the Market Value, and in each case subject to the provisions of the Purchased Asset Documents, the revocable option discussed above shall automatically terminate and thereafter Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets without regard to Seller’s instructions (including, but not limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Seller, to the extent Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any servicer, Buyer may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity satisfactory to Buyer).

(e) Notwithstanding the rights granted to Seller pursuant to clause (d) above, Seller shall not enter into any material amendments, modifications, waivers, releases, sales, transfers, dispositions or other resolutions relating to the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, the following actions set forth in clauses (i) through (xi) below, without the prior written consent of Buyer:

(i) any forbearance, extension or other loan modification with respect to any Purchased Asset, including, without limitation, (A) any modification of the amount or timing of any regularly scheduled payments of principal and non-contingent interest of any Purchased Asset or (B) any change in the frequency of scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to any Purchased Asset;

(vii) any increase in the amount of any Purchased Asset other than increases which are derived from accrual or capitalization of deferred interest which is added to principal or protective advances;

(viii) any subordination of the Lien priority of any Purchased Asset or the payment priority of any Purchased Asset other than a subordination required under the then-existing terms and conditions of such Purchased Asset; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the execution and delivery of subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements with tenants, subordination to tenant leases, easements, plats of subdivision and condominium declarations, conditions, covenants and restrictions and similar instruments which do not adversely affect the rights and interest of the holder of the Purchased Asset;

(ix) any waiver, amendment or modification of any cash management or reserve account requirements of any Purchased Asset other than changes required under the then-existing Purchased Asset documentation for such Purchased Asset;

ARTICLE 8.

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS

(a) Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer on the applicable 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, as long as no such action shall cause the tax owner of the Purchased Assets not to be the Seller (or the Guarantor, as the case may be), and provided that no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Article 17 hereof.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, Buyer shall be permitted to freely sell, transfer or hypothecate any Purchased Asset to any Affiliate of Buyer, so long as no such action shall cause the tax owner of the Purchased Asset not to be the Seller (or the Guarantor, as the case may be), and provided that no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligations pursuant to Article 17(b), (c), or (d), as applicable.

Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. Seller has not become, or is not presently, financially insolvent nor will Seller be made insolvent by virtue of Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of any jurisdiction. Seller has not entered into any Transaction Document or any Transaction pursuant thereto in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor.

(xii) Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration by Seller with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (A) the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction Document to which Seller is or will be a party, (B) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Transaction Document against Seller or (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than consents, approvals and filings that have already been obtained or made, as applicable, and the filing of certain financing statements in respect of certain security interests).

(xiii) Organizational Documents. Seller has delivered to Buyer certified copies of its organization documents, together with all amendments thereto, if any.

(xv) Federal Regulations. Seller is not (A) required to register as an “investment company,” or a company “controlled by an investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), or (B) a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company of a holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

(xvi) Taxes. Seller and each Affiliate of Seller have timely filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by them and have paid all Taxes (whether or not shown on a return), which have become due, except for Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller and each Affiliate of Seller have satisfied all of their withholding tax obligations. No tax Liens have been filed against any assets of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller and no claims are currently being asserted in writing against Seller or any Affiliate of Seller with respect to Taxes (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or liens or claims with respect to Taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP).

(xvii) Judgments/Bankruptcy. Except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, there are no judgments against Seller unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court located in the United States of America and no Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller.

(xviii) Solvency. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Seller in the last ten (10) years, and Seller has not in the last ten (10) years made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any debtors relief laws. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(xix) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by Seller for purposes permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used by Seller to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the entering into of any Transaction nor the use of any proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, any provision of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(xx) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under or context in which they were made.

(xxi) Financial Information. All financial data concerning Seller and the Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly in accordance with GAAP. All financial data concerning the Purchased Assets provided and prepared by Seller has been prepared in accordance with standard industry practices. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller or the Purchased Assets, or in the results of operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller.

(xxii) Hedging Transactions. As of the Purchase Date for any Purchased Asset that is subject to a Hedging Transaction, each such Hedging Transaction is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, each counterparty thereto is an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and no “Termination Event”, “Event of Default”, “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event, however denominated, has occurred and is continuing with respect thereto.

(xxiii) Intentionally Deleted.

(xxiv) Servicing Agreements. Seller has delivered to Buyer all Servicing Agreements pertaining to the Purchased Assets and to the Knowledge of Seller, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets subject to a Servicing Agreement, each such Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and no default or event of default exists thereunder.

(xxv) 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 such Transactions.

(xvi) a final non appealable judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction for the payment of money (a) rendered against Seller in an amount greater than $100,000 or (b) rendered against Guarantor in an amount greater than $25,000,000, and remained undischarged or unpaid for a period of ten (10) Business Days, unless such judgment is effectively stayed by fully bonding over or other means acceptable to Buyer;

(xvii) if Seller shall breach or fail to perform any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, other than those specifically otherwise referred to in this Article 12, and for all breaches other than the failure to transfer Income from a Collection Account to the Depository Account on a timely basis in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Article 5(b), provided, however, such breach or failure to perform shall not be an Event of Default if, to the extent any such covenant is capable of being cured by Seller, such breach or failure to perform is cured by Seller no later than five (5) Business Days after notification from Buyer or after Seller otherwise

has Knowledge thereof, provided, further, if any covenant contained in this agreement provides Seller with a period of time to cure, correct or remedy any breach or failure to perform such covenant, the five (5) Business Day cure period provided in this clause (xvii) shall not modify, amend or increase such period of time provided therein;

(xviii) the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity or a replacement therefor acceptable to Buyer shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, or the enforceability thereof shall be contested by Guarantor, Seller or any Affiliate of either such party; and

(xix) the breach by Guarantor of any term, covenant (financial or otherwise) or condition set forth in the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity or of any representation, warranty, certification or covenant made or deemed made in the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity by Guarantor or if any certificate furnished by Guarantor to Buyer pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof or any information with respect to the Purchased Assets furnished in writing on behalf of Guarantor shall prove to have been false or misleading in any respect as of the time made or furnished; provided, however, that solely with respect to any non-monetary breach under the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if Guarantor cures such breach within the cure period set forth in the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity, and if no such cure period exists, within five (5) Business Days following delivery of notice of such breach by Buyer to Guarantor;

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any further Transactions hereunder and, Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney in fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney in fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to Seller, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:

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

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 12(b)(i) of this Agreement:

(A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date without presentment or demand of any kind, which are hereby expressly waived; and

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360-day-per-year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to

Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 12(b)(iii) of this Agreement).

(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (B) in its sole 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 Market Value of such Purchased Assets 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 this Article 12(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default, including without limitation, all costs of collection associated with the interpretation and enforcement of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents; (w) second, to actual, out-of-pocket damages incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default, (x) third, to the Repurchase Price; (y) fourth, to any Breakage Costs; and (z) fifth, to return any excess to Seller.

(iv) 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 purchaser, 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, 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.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for (A) the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all out-of-pocket 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 with respect to Seller and (B) all documented actual costs incurred by Buyer in connection with Hedging Transactions in the event that Seller, from and after an Event of Default, takes any action to impede or otherwise affect Buyer’s remedies under this Agreement.

(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign (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 of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii) Subject to the applicable notice and cure periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an

Event of Default with respect to Seller 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.

(viii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of non-judicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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) If at any time Buyer determines that a Purchased Asset is an Ineligible Asset, the related Transaction shall terminate and an Early Repurchase Date shall be deemed to occur with respect to such Purchased Asset. No later than (A) two (2) Business Days after receiving notice from Buyer that such Purchased Asset has become an Ineligible Asset or (B) three (3) Business Days after Seller’s Knowledge that such Purchased Asset has become an Ineligible Asset and Seller’s notice of same to Buyer, Seller shall repurchase the affected Purchased Asset and Seller shall pay the applicable Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset to Buyer by depositing such amount in immediately available funds at the direction of Buyer. For purposes hereof, the following factors, without limitation, shall render a Purchased Asset an “Ineligible Asset”:

(i) any Purchased Asset that at any time Buyer determines is not an Eligible Asset as a result of any representation, warranty or material information made or provided by Seller or Guarantor being false or misleading at the time such representation or warranty was made or such material information was provided (other than MTM Representations);

(ii) any Purchased Asset that has been released from the possession of the applicable Acceptable Attorney that issued an Undertaking Letter in connection with the related Purchased Asset for a period in excess of five (5) Business Days without the consent of Buyer;

(iii) any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of any Act of Insolvency with respect to any co-participant or any other Person having an interest in such Purchased Asset or any related Underlying Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or pari passu with, in right of payment or priority the rights of Buyer in such Purchased Asset

(iv) loans for which Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is the security trustee for such loan;

(v) any Purchased Asset for which Buyer has not received a Monthly Reporting Package in accordance with Article 11(j);

(vi) Seller’s failure to cure any deficiency noted in the Asset Schedule received from Custodian and Exception Report (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) within five (5) calendar days of Buyer’s receipt of such Asset Schedule and Exception Report; or

(vii) any Purchased Asset which Buyer has determined the Market Value to be zero.

(d) Upon the occurrence of any of the events listed in clause (d)(i) through (d)(x) below, Buyer may, in addition to the factors set forth in the definition of Market Value, use, in its sole discretion, the occurrence of such events in its determination of Market Value (which Market Value may be zero); provided, however, that the occurrence of any of the events listed in clause (d)(i) through (d)(x) below by itself shall not cause the termination of the related Transaction:

(i) any Purchased Asset that is thirty (30) calendar days or more delinquent in the payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under the terms of the related transaction documents;

(ii) any Purchased Asset has become a specially serviced loan (or the equivalent in the relevant jurisdiction) as defined in the applicable servicing agreement;

(iii) any Purchased Asset as to which a monetary default has occurred and is continuing;

(iv) any Purchased Asset as to which a non-monetary event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under any document included in the Purchased Asset File for such Purchased Asset;

(v) any Purchased Asset with respect to which there has been an extension, amendment, waiver, termination, rescission, cancellation, release or other modification to the terms of, or any collateral, guaranty or indemnity for, or the exercise of any material right or remedy of a holder (including all lending, corporate and voting rights, remedies, consents, approvals and waivers) of any related Purchased Asset Document that (A) has not been consented to by Buyer in writing and (B) has an adverse effect on Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Asset;

(vi) any Purchased Asset for which Buyer is relying on an Approved Valuation, the applicable valuation is not dated within ninety (90) calendar days of the proposed financing date (or such other period as approved by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion);

(vii) any Purchased Asset secured by properties that cease to have appropriate zoning approval, required insurance or similar legal compliance in the relevant jurisdiction;

(viii) any failure by Seller to deliver the complete Monthly Reporting Package described in Article 11(j), and Seller is unable to obtain such information necessary to complete the Monthly Reporting Package; provided, however, that prior to using such failure in Buyer’s determination of Market Value, Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) calendar days from the date of delivery of the incomplete Monthly Reporting Package to provide any missing information; provided, further, however, that prior to using such failure in Buyer’s determination of Market Value, so long as Seller is diligently pursuing such missing information to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, Seller shall have an additional thirty (30) calendar days (or such other time period as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion to provide any missing information);

(ix) any Purchased Asset upon the occurrence of any Act of Insolvency with respect to the underlying obligor; or

(x) any MTM Representation made or provided by Seller or Guarantor is false or misleading at the time such MTM Representation was made with respect to any Purchased Asset.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in Article 12(d) above shall be construed as a limitation on other factors for determining a Margin Deficit hereunder.

ARTICLE 13.

SINGLE AGREEMENT

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

ARTICLE 14.

RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREES THAT A DULY AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 15.

A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (v) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (w) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (x) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 15, or (z) in the case of e-mail, upon confirmation of delivery. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 15 may elect to waive in writing any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

ARTICLE 16.

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 17.

NON ASSIGNABILITY

(a) Subject to Article 17(b) below, Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void. Buyer may, without consent of Seller (other than with respect to a Prohibited Transferee; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be subject to such limitation if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement. Buyer may, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Person (other than a Prohibited Transferee; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be subject to such limitation if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) (an “Assignee” and together with Participants, each a “Transferee” and collectively, the “Transferees”) all or any part of its rights in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement; provided, however, that, upon Seller’s prior written consent, Buyer may sell to a Prohibited Transferee participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased Asset or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement, or assign to any Prohibited Transferee all or any part of its rights in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement, so long as in each case (i) Buyer shall retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) Seller shall not be obligated to deal with any Person other than Buyer, and (iii) Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Buyer or any other Person for any costs or expense relating to any such transfer, assignment or participation. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the foregoing requirements in sub-clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence shall also apply to any other assignment or participation by Buyer of all or any portion of its interest in this Agreement, any Transaction or any Purchased Asset; provided, however, that the control and authority over Buyer’s rights and obligations set forth in such sub-clause (i) and the obligation of Seller to deal with any Person as set forth in such sub-clause (ii), may be collectively transferred by Buyer to an Assignee that (A) is not a Prohibited Transferee, (B) is a bank, financial institution, pension fund, insurance company or similar Person or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing which, in each case, is regularly engaged in the business of owning commercial real estate loans or operating commercial real estate properties, and (C) has acquired an interest equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the entire interest in this Agreement, all Transactions and all Purchased Assets; provided, further, that such control and authority is transferred by Buyer in full (without Buyer retaining any such control or authority) and shall only be held by one such Assignee (and not multiple Assignees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the preceding sentence shall not apply to any assignments, sales or transfers by Buyer to an Affiliate of Buyer of all or any part of Buyer’s rights in the Purchased Assets or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement. Each of Seller and Guarantor agree 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, this Agreement in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale.

(b) Title to all Purchased Assets and Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items or otherwise selling, pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Buyer shall transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Date free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim on any of the Purchased Assets. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets or Purchased Items transferred to Buyer by Seller.

(c) The Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain, either at its offices at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx or electronically, a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement of any Assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, the Buyer and the Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, the Buyer and any Assignee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) If the Buyer sells a participation it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement of each Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent (i) disclosing the portion of the Participant Register relating to a Participant with respect to which a claim for additional amounts is made under Articles 3(g), 3(h), 3(j), 3(k) or 3(l), or (ii) otherwise to the extent such disclosure is reasonably expected to be necessary to establish that such ownership rights in the Transactions or any other interests under this Agreement are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no sale, assignment, transfer or participation pursuant to this Article 17 shall be effective unless and until reflected in the Register or Participant Register, as applicable.

ARTICLE 18.

GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

ARTICLE 19.

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 here from shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Articles 4(a) or 4(c) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

ARTICLE 20.

USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

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

(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Article 20, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c) By entering into a Transaction, pursuant to this Article 20, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

ARTICLE 21.

INTENT

(a) The parties intend and recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). The Parties intend (i) for each Transaction to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Article 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) that Buyer (for so long as each party is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Sections 546, 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” and a “master

netting contract” including (x) the rights, set forth in Article 12 and in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Article 12 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 632(b)(7), 362(o) and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 12 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each 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) Each party hereto further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract,” and/or “master netting agreement,” or each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except in so far as the type of Purchased Assets subject to the Transactions or, in the case of a “repurchase agreement,” the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable.

(e) It is understood 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).

(f) It is understood 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.

(g) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise taxes (a) to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and (b) that the Purchased Assets are owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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.

(d) In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an “insured depository institution”, as that term is defined in Section 1813(c)(2) of Title 12 of the United States Code, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

ARTICLE 23.

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

(a) PURSUANT TO, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH, SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK STATE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NON 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.

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s designee that is holding a Purchased Asset File on behalf of and at the direction of Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, and employees (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including

attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, 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, incurred and paid by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to the Transaction Documents including this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder 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 liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Buyer or 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, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Buyer or any 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 will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, those incurred pursuant to Article 26 and Article 3 (including, without limitation, all Pre-Purchase Legal Expenses, even if the underlying prospective Transaction for which they were incurred does not take place for any reason) and the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its outside counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller and this Article 25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 26.

DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased 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 Seller, Primary Servicer and any other servicer or sub servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to continuing due diligence on the Purchased Assets, which shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. 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. 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 Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 27.

SERVICING

(a) Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including the Primary Servicer) shall service the Assets for the benefit of Buyer and Buyer’s successors and assigns. The appointment of each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including the Primary Servicer) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall cause each such servicer (including the Primary Servicer) to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and for the benefit of Buyer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided that, without prior written consent of Buyer in its sole discretion as required by Article 7(e), no servicer (including the Primary Servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall take any action with respect to any Purchased Asset described in Article 7(e).

(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing agreements (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement relating to the servicing of any or all of the Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, valuations, 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 safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee at Buyer’s request.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and/or (ii) terminate Seller (as the servicer), Primary Servicer or any other servicer or sub servicer of the Purchased Assets with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee.

(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers or any other servicer other than Primary Servicer pursuant to the Primary Servicing Agreement to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by such a Buyer approved sub-servicer or any other servicer, Seller shall, irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest (if any) in the servicing agreements in the Purchased Assets to Buyer. Seller shall cause all servicers and sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a Direct Agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub servicer shall transfer all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and so long as any Purchased Asset is owned by Buyer hereunder, following notice from Buyer to Seller and each such servicer of an Event of Default under this Agreement, each such servicer (including Primary Servicer) or sub-servicer shall take no action with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as specifically directed by Buyer.

(e) The payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing, other than Seller’s rights under the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement related to the Purchased Assets. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis with such servicing retained by the Servicer.

(g) Seller shall cause each servicer of a Purchased Asset to provide to Buyer via electronic transmission, promptly upon request by Buyer a Servicing Tape for the quarter (or any portion thereof) prior to the date of Buyer’s request.

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) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, consummation and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or Transaction is ultimately consummated. Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or Purchased Items and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral or Purchased Items (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Depository Account and registering the Collateral and Purchased Items in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

(e) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, Seller and Guarantor hereby grant to Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, if applicable, a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor under the Transaction Documents and any Hedging Transactions, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received 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), for the account of Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor at any time existing. 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, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor under the Transaction Documents or any Hedging Transactions, 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. Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and its Affiliates by Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor under the Transaction Documents and any Hedging Transaction, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above. 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, GUARANTOR OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF GUARANTOR UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND ANY HEDGING TRANSACTIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER, GUARANTOR OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER, GUARANTOR OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF GUARANTOR. For purposes of this Article 28(e), Guarantor’s Subsidiaries shall only refer to those Subsidiaries that are not organized as special purpose entities as of the date hereof under their respective organizational documents.

(f) Seller and Guarantor agree that neither shall assert any claims against Buyer for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages for the actual use or purported use of proceeds hereunder.

(g) 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.

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

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

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

(k) 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 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 discretion and such decision by Buyer shall be final and conclusive.

(l) Each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

With respect to any Senior Mortgage Loan secured by a Ground Lease:

(a)

such Ground Lease has, where registerable, been duly registered; such Ground Lease permits the current use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate and permits or does not prohibit the interest of the Ground Lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate by such Ground Lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage by limiting in any way its current use; and there has been no material change in the payment terms of such Ground Lease since the origination or acquisition of the related Purchased Loan, with the exception of material changes reflected in written documents that are a part of the related Purchased Asset File;

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Covenant Compliance Certificate have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement.

THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT:

I am a duly elected Responsible Officer.

All of the financial statements, calculations and other information set forth in this Covenant Compliance Certificate, including, without limitation, in any exhibit or other attachment hereto, are true, complete and correct as of the date hereof.

I am not aware of any facts, or pending developments that have caused, or may in the future cause the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to decline at any time within the reasonably foreseeable future.

As of the date hereof, and since the date of the certificate most recently delivered pursuant to Article 11(j) of the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement, Seller has observed or performed all of its covenants and other agreements in all material respects, and satisfied in all material respects, every condition, contained in the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement and the related documents to be observed, performed or satisfied by it.

The examinations described in Paragraph 3 above did not disclose, and I have no knowledge of, the existence of any condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default or Default during or at the end of the accounting period covered by the attached financial statements or as of the date of this Covenant Compliance Certificate (including after giving effect to any pending Transactions requested to be entered into), except as set forth below.

As of the date hereof, each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in the Master Repurchase and Securities Contract Agreement are true, correct and complete in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date hereof, except as to the extent of any Approved Exceptions.

No condition or event that constitutes a “Termination Event”, “Event of Default”, “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event by Seller, however denominated, has occurred or is continuing under any Hedging Transaction.

Attached as Exhibit 1 hereto is a description of all interests of Affiliates of Seller in any Underlying Mortgaged Property (including without limitation, any lien, encumbrance or other debt or equity position or other interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property that is senior or junior to, or pari passu with, a Mortgage Asset in right of payment or priority).

11.

Attached as Exhibit 3 hereto are the calculations demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Parent Guaranty and Indemnity.

In accordance with Parlex 6 UK’s requirements under the Master Repurchase Agreement, Parlex 6 UK hereby notifies and instructs (and such instruction is hereby given as if given under the Facilities Agreement by Parlex 6 UK as Lender), and hereby irrevocably authorises Agent, to, and Agent hereby agrees that Agent shall:

-11-

In addition to the matters set out above, Agent:

(a) acknowledges that Parlex 6 UK has equitably assigned the Purchased Assets to Buyer and agrees that Buyer shall be considered the owner of the Purchased Assets and, in any event, Buyer is expressly intended to be a third-party beneficiary under the Facilities Agreement;

(b) agrees that (and Parlex 6 UK hereby confirms that) notwithstanding the equitable assignment of the Purchased Assets by Parlex 6 UK to Buyer in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to pay any transfer fee or deliver any documentation to Agent prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement);

(c) agrees that (and Parlex 6 UK hereby confirms that) the Buyer is to be treated as if it were the only “Lender” for the purposes of any decisions to be made or instructions to be given regarding the Purchased Assets by the Lenders or the Majority Lenders;

(d) agrees that (and Parlex 6 UK hereby confirms that) it shall not agree to any change to the fees charged by Agent under the Facilities Agreement or agree to any additional remuneration under the Facilities Agreement for the Agent without the prior written consent of Buyer; and

(e) agrees that (and Parlex 6 UK hereby confirms that) any right of the Lenders to terminate or replace Agent under the Facilities Agreement shall be exerciseable by Buyer (in accordance with the Facilities Agreement), it being agreed that Parlex 6 UK will pay any and all fees required and incurred by Buyer to terminate or replace Agent in accordance with the Facilities Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of Agent’s duties to the designee of Buyer in accordance with this Notice to Agent.

Buyer hereby confirms such consent will be given or declined in accordance with the terms of the Facilities Agreement.

Notwithstanding any contrary information or direction that be delivered to the Agent by Parlex 6 UK, Parlex 6UK agree with Agent that Agent may rely conclusively on any information, direction or written notice of any Event of Default (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement) delivered by the Buyer, and Agent shall have no liability to Parlex 6 UK in so doing and shall not be concerned to make any enquiry of Parlex 6 UK or any other person as to whether Buyer is entitled (under the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement) to give the same. Parle 6 UK shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for any and all claims asserted against Agent for any actions taken by Agent in connection with the delivery of such information or notice of Event of Default, absent Agents wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

No provision of this letter or the Facilities Agreement may be amended, countermanded or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

-12-

limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent as a result of the Agent acting in accordance with the instructions of Buyer in relation to the Facilities Agreement in accordance with this letter (unless such cost, loss or liability results from Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct).

This letter and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including any non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

WHEREAS:

The Chargor enters into this Deed in connection with the Master Repurchase Agreement (as defined below).

NOW THIS DEED WITNESSETH, the parties agree as follows:

Construction

Capitalised terms defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement or Facility Agreement have, unless expressly defined in this Deed, the same meaning in this Deed.

Unless a contrary indication appears, any reference in this Deed to:

any “Party” shall be construed so as to include its successors in title, permitted assigns and permitted transferees;

REPRESENTATIONS – GENERAL

Nature of security

The Chargor represents to the Secured Party that, to the extent that its interest in the Security Assets have not already been transferred to the Secured Party, this Deed creates those security interests it purports to create and is not liable to be avoided or otherwise set aside on the liquidation or administration of the Chargor or otherwise.

Times for making representations

The representations set out in this Deed are made on the date of this Deed.

Unless a representation is expressed to be given at a specific date, each representation under this Deed is deemed to be repeated by the Chargor on the Purchase Date.

RESTRICTIONS ON DEALINGS

Except as expressly allowed in the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Chargor must not create or permit to subsist any security interest on any Security Asset (except for this Security).

Disposals

Except as expressly allowed in the Master Repurchase Agreement, the Chargor must not sell, transfer, licence, lease or otherwise dispose of any Security Asset.

NOTICES

Notices of assignment

The Chargor must on the date hereof serve a notice, substantially in the form of Part 1 of the Schedule, on each Borrower and use reasonable endeavours to ensure that each Borrower acknowledges that notice, substantially in the form of Part 2 of the Schedule.

WHEN SECURITY BECOMES ENFORCEABLE

This Security shall become immediately enforceable if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

After this Security has become enforceable, the Secured Party may in its absolute discretion and without notice to the Chargor enforce all or any part of this Security in any manner it sees fit.

ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

General

The statutory power of sale and the other statutory powers conferred on mortgagees by Section 101 of the Act as varied and extended by this Deed will be immediately exercisable at any time after this Security has become enforceable.

Section 103 of the Act (restricting the power of sale) and Section 93 of the Act (restricting the right of consolidation) do not apply to this Security.

For the purposes of all powers implied by statute, the Secured Liabilities are deemed to have become due and payable on the date of this Deed.

No liability as mortgagee in possession

Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver nor any administrator will be liable, by reason of entering into possession of a Security Asset, to account as mortgagee in possession or for any loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable except to the extent caused by its or his own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Privileges

Each Receiver and the Secured Party is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by the Act on mortgagees and receivers when such receivers have been duly appointed under the Act, except that Section 103 of the Act does not apply.

Protection of third parties

No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Secured Party or a Receiver or an administrator or its or his agents will be concerned to enquire:

whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable; or

whether any power which the Secured Party or the Receiver or administrator is purporting to exercise has become exercisable; or

whether any money remains due under the Transaction Documents; or

how any money paid to the Secured Party or to the Receiver or administrator is to be applied.

Redemption of prior mortgages

At any time after this Security has become enforceable, the Secured Party may:

redeem any prior security interest against any Security Asset; and/or

procure the transfer of that security interest to itself; and/or

settle and pass the accounts of the prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer and any accounts so settled and passed shall be conclusive and binding on the Chargor.

All principal moneys, interest, costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to any such redemption and/or transfer shall be paid by the Chargor to the Secured Party on demand.

The Chargor must pay to the Secured Party, immediately on demand, the costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with any such redemption and/or transfer, including the payment of any principal or interest.

Contingencies

If this Security is enforced at a time when no amount is due under the Transaction Documents but at a time when amounts may or will become due, the Secured Party (or the Receiver) may pay the proceeds of any recoveries effected by it into a suspense account or other account selected by it.

Statutory powers

The powers conferred by this Deed on the Secured Party or a Receiver are in addition to and not in substitution for the powers conferred on mortgagees and mortgagees in possession under the Act, the Insolvency Xxx 0000 or otherwise by law and in the case of any conflict between the powers contained in any such Act and those conferred by this Deed, the terms of this Deed will prevail.

APPOINTMENT AND RIGHTS OF RECEIVERS

Appointment of Receivers

Except as provided below, the Secured Party may appoint any one or more persons to be a Receiver of all or any part of the Security Assets if this Security has become enforceable.

Any appointment under paragraph (a) above may be by deed, under seal or in writing under hand.

Except as provided below, any restriction imposed by law on the right of a mortgagee to appoint a Receiver (including under section 109(1) of the Act) does not apply to this Deed.

The Secured Party is not entitled to appoint a Receiver solely as a result of the obtaining of a moratorium (or anything done with a view to obtaining a moratorium) under the Insolvency Xxx 0000.

The Secured Party may not appoint an administrative receiver (as defined in section 29(2) of the Insolvency Act 1986) over the Security Assets if the Secured Party is prohibited from so doing by section 72A of the Insolvency Xxx 0000 and no exception to the prohibition on appointing an administrative receiver applies.

The Secured Party may by writing under hand (subject to any requirement for an order of the court in the case of an administrative receiver), remove any Receiver appointed by it and may, whenever it thinks fit, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose appointment may for any reason have terminated.

Scope of Appointment

Any Receiver may be appointed either Receiver of all the Security Assets or Receiver of such part thereof as may be specified in the appointment and, in the latter case, the rights conferred on a Receiver by this Deed shall have effect as though every reference therein to the Security Assets were a reference to the part of such assets so specified or any part thereof.

Remuneration

The Secured Party may fix the remuneration of any Receiver appointed by it and the maximum rate specified in Section 109(6) of the Act will not apply.

Agent of the Chargor

Each Receiver is deemed to be the agent of the Chargor for all purposes and accordingly is deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed by a mortgagee under the Act. The Chargor alone shall be responsible for the contracts, engagements, acts, omissions, defaults and losses of a Receiver and for liabilities incurred by a Receiver. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability (either to the Chargor or to any other person) by reason of the appointment of a Receiver or for any other reason.

Exercise of Receiver powers by the Secured Party

To the fullest extent allowed by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Deed (either expressly or impliedly) or by law on a Receiver may, after this Security becomes enforceable, be exercised by the Secured Party in relation to any Security Asset without first appointing a Receiver and notwithstanding the appointment of a Receiver.

POWERS OF RECEIVERS

General

A Receiver has all of the rights, powers and discretions set out below in this Clause in addition to those conferred on it by any law and this includes:

in the case of an administrative receiver, all the rights powers and discretions conferred on an administrative receiver under the Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx, 0000; and

otherwise, all the rights, powers and discretions conferred on a receiver (or a receiver and manager) under the Act and the Insolvency Act, 1986.

If there is more than one Receiver holding office at the same time, each Receiver may (unless the document appointing him states otherwise) exercise all of the powers conferred on a Receiver under this Deed individually and to the exclusion of any other Receiver.

Rights of Receivers

Any Receiver appointed pursuant to this Deed shall be entitled (either in his or her own name or in the name of the Chargor or any trustee or nominee for the Chargor) and in any manner and upon such terms and conditions as the Receiver thinks fit:

to collect any amounts due under any Security Asset;

to carry on any business relating to the Security Assets;

to settle, adjust, refer to arbitration, compromise and arrange any claims, accounts, disputes, questions and demands with or by any person who is or claims to be a creditor of the Chargor or relating in any way any Security Asset;

to bring, prosecute, enforce, defend and abandon actions, suits and proceedings in relation to any Security Asset which the Receiver thinks fit;

to appoint and discharge officers, managers, employees, agents and advisors of all kinds for the purposes of this Deed upon such terms as to remuneration or otherwise as the Receiver sees fit and to discharge any person appointed by the Chargor in relation to the Security Assets;

to sell, exchange, convert into money and realise any Security Asset by public auction or privately and for which purposes the consideration for the relevant transaction may consist of cash, debentures or other obligations, shares, stock or other valuable consideration and any such consideration may be payable in a lump sum or by instalments spread over any period the Receiver thinks fit;

to give a valid receipt for any moneys and execute any assurance or thing which may be proper or desirable for realising any Security Asset; and

to otherwise:

do all such other acts and things the Receiver may consider necessary or expedient for the realising of any Security Asset or incidental or conducive to the exercise of any of the rights conferred on the Receiver under or by virtue of this Deed or law;

exercise in relation to any Security Assets all the powers, authorities and things which the Receiver would be capable of exercising if the Receiver were the absolute beneficial owner of that Security Asset; and

use the name of the Chargor for any of the above purposes.

Each of the rights specified in each of the above paragraphs shall (except as otherwise provided) be distinct and shall not be in any way limited by reference to any other paragraph.

Delegation

A Receiver may delegate his powers in accordance with this Deed.

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

Any moneys received by the Secured Party or any Receiver after this Security has become enforceable shall be applied:

in or towards payment of or provision for all costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party or any Receiver under or in connection with this Deed and of all remuneration due to any Receiver under or in connection with this Deed;

in or towards payment of or provision for the Secured Liabilities; and

in payment of the surplus (if any) to the Chargor or other person entitled to it.

This Clause is subject to the payment of any claims having priority over this Security. This Clause does not prejudice the right of any Finance Party to recover any shortfall from the Chargor.

DELEGATION

The Secured Party and any Receiver may delegate by power of attorney or in any other manner to any person any right, power or discretion exercisable by it under this Deed. Any such delegation may be made upon the terms (including power to sub-delegate) which the Secured Party or Receiver may think fit. Neither the Secured Party nor any Receiver will be in any way liable or responsible to the Chargor for any loss or liability arising from any act, default, omission or misconduct on the part of any such delegate or sub-delegate (except any loss or liability resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any such delegate or sub-delegate).

EXPENSES AND INDEMNITY

The Chargor must:

promptly on demand pay all actual out of pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees properly incurred) incurred in connection with the enforcement by the Secured Party of the Secured Party’s rights under this Deed, by the Secured Party, a Receiver, any attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Secured Party under this Deed; and

keep each of them indemnified against any failure or delay in paying those costs or expenses.

FURTHER ASSURANCES

The Chargor must, at its own expense, take whatever action the Secured Party or a Receiver may reasonably require for:

creating, perfecting or protecting any Security intended to be created by this Deed; or

facilitating (once this Security has become enforceable) the realisation of any Security Asset, or the exercise of any right, power or discretion exercisable, by the Secured Party or any Receiver or any of its delegates or sub-delegates in respect of any Security Asset.

This includes:

the execution of any transfer, conveyance, assignment or assurance of any property, whether to the Secured Party or to its nominee; or

the giving of any notice, order or direction and the making of any registration,

which, in any such case, the Secured Party may think expedient (acting reasonably).

POWER OF ATTORNEY

The Chargor by way of security irrevocably and severally appoints the Secured Party, each Receiver and any of their respective delegates or sub-delegates to be its attorney and in its name and on its behalf to take any action which the Chargor is obliged to take under this Deed and has failed to take following written request by the Secured Party. The Chargor ratifies and confirms whatever any attorney does or purports to do under its appointment under this Clause.

APPROPRIATION

To the extent that any of the Security Assets constitute “financial collateral” and this Deed and the obligations of the Chargor under this Deed constitute a “security financial collateral arrangement” (as defined in and for the purposes of the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No.2) Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”)), at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Secured Party may appropriate all or part of the Security Assets in or towards satisfaction of the Secured Liabilities.

The Secured Party must attribute a value to the appropriated Security Asset in a commercially reasonable manner.

Where the Secured Party exercises its rights of appropriation and the value of the Security Assets appropriated differs from the amount of the Secured Liabilities, as the case may be, either:

the Secured Party must account to the Chargor for the amount by which the value of the Security Assets exceeds the Secured Liabilities; or

the Chargor will remain liable to the Secured Party for any amount whereby the value of the Security Assets are less than the Secured Liabilities.

RELEASE

At the end of the Security Period, the Secured Party must, at the request and cost of the Chargor, take whatever action is necessary to release the Security Assets from this Security.

GOVERNING LAW

This Deed and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

ENFORCEMENT

Jurisdiction

In this Clause “Dispute” means any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Deed (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Deed) or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Deed.

The Parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England for the purpose of any Dispute.

Each Party waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of proceeding in relation to a Dispute in any of the courts referred to in paragraph (b) above and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile.

Service of process

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, the Chargor:

irrevocably appoints [ ] having its address at [ ] as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Transaction Document; and

agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Chargor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Chargor must immediately (and in any event within 5 Business Days of such event) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Secured Party, failing which the Secured Party may appoint another agent for this purpose.

This Deed has been entered into as a deed on the date stated at the beginning of this Deed.
