(o)Capital Adequacy. If Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy, including the Reserve Requirements or

any other similar reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Administrative Agent or any Buyer, or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Administrative Agent or such Buyer, or any corporation controlling Administrative Agent or such Buyer, with any request or directive regarding such requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Buyer, or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after submission by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent or such Buyer, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Administrative Agent or such Buyer for such reduction; provided, that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will not impose such additional amounts on Seller unless either MSBNA, acting in its individual capacity, or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, is imposing such additional amounts on other customers similarly situated to Seller under other repurchase facilities involving commercial real estate loans. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Administrative Agent to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. With respect to each reduction in the rate of return as described above, this covenant shall survive for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the incurrence of such reduction by Administrative Agent or any Buyer. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(p)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller or Administrative Agent), then Seller shall be entitled to make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and to timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made, each Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(p), Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 Administrative Agent.

(q)Seller shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3(q)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by a Buyer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Buyer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(r)If any Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction Documents, such Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by

Seller or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Buyer shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as will enable Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer, is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3(r)(i), Section 3(r)(ii) and Section 3(r)(iv) below) shall not be required if in such Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would be illegal, would subject Buyer, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)if a Buyer is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code)(a “United States Person”), it shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)if a Buyer is not a United States Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer, becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (1) with respect to payments characterized as interest for U.S. tax purposes under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E 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;

(C)in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate to the effect that Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

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

(iii)if a Buyer is not a United States Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller and/or Administrative Agent), 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 or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv)each Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent 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 or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Seller and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether a Buyer has complied with such Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3(r)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement;

provided that each Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3(r) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller (and Administrative Agent) in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(s)If any of the events described in Section 3(o) or Section 3(p) result in Administrative Agent’s request, on behalf of Buyers, for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in writing of its intent to terminate all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets no later than five (5) Business Days after such notice is given to Administrative Agent, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(h) but without the payment of any Exit Fee. The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 3(s) shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Administrative Agent or Buyers prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Assets.

(t)Tax Refunds on Indemnified Amounts. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3), it shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Seller, upon the request of such Recipient, shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3(t) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(t), in no event will the Recipient be required to pay any amount to Seller pursuant to this Section 3(t) the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Recipient 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 Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Seller or any other Person.

(u)Mandatory Repurchase on Facility Maturity Date. From and after the Facility Termination Date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have no further obligation to purchase any New Assets. On the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase all of the Purchased Assets and transfer payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Asset, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and all Transaction Costs and other amounts due and payable to Buyers hereunder, against the transfer by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller of each such Purchased Asset. Following the Facility Termination Date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Assets to Seller until payment in full to Buyers of all amounts due hereunder.

(v)Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any rule, regulation, guideline or directive adopted after the date of this Agreement that implements (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or (ii) a capital or liquidity accords adopted by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or such rules, regulations, guidelines or directives adopted by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case under clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement.

(w)Status of Administrative Agent. On or before the date the Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, such Administrative Agent shall provide to the Seller, two duly-signed, properly completed copies of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) if the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), (A) with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Buyer, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that Administrative Agent is either (1) a “qualified intermediary” which has assumed primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary IRS Form 1099 reporting and back-up withholding responsibility, or (2) a U.S. branch providing such form as evidence of its agreement with the Seller to be treated as a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes.

(a)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may determine and re-determine the Asset Base Components on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. Upon the occurrence of a Margin Credit Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, if at any such time the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets is greater than the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith and such amount equals or exceeds the Margin Materiality Threshold (a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Margin Deficit from Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, (i) deliver to Buyers cash, (ii) request a funding of Margin Excess under Section 4(b) to offset such Margin Deficit, or (iii) utilize any combination of the foregoing, in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets to an amount equal to the aggregate Asset Base Components as re-determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after giving effect to the delivery of cash or additional collateral by Seller to Buyers, pursuant to this Section 4(a). Any cash delivered to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be applied by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to reduce the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Assets that caused the related Margin Deficit to exist, allocated on a pro-rata basis.

(b)If at any such time the Purchase Price of one or more Purchased Assets is less than the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith (a “Margin Excess”), then Buyers shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a request from Seller, transfer cash to Seller in an amount (not to exceed such Margin Excess) such that the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset, after the addition of any such cash so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such Asset Base Component as re-determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after giving effect to the delivery of cash by Buyers to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b); provided that (i) no Margin Deficit, monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such funding, (ii) such funding shall not result in the Aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets exceeding the Facility Amount and (iii) each such funding shall be in an amount of not less than the Margin Materiality Threshold. Any cash delivered by Buyers to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be applied by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to increase the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset(s) that caused the related Margin Excess to exist, allocated on a pro-rata basis. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller shall execute and deliver a restated Confirmation(s) for the applicable Transaction(s) to set forth the new Purchase Price(s) for such Purchased Asset(s). Seller may not request funding under this Section 4(b) more than three (3) times in any calendar month.

(c)The failure of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or Buyers 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 rights of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to do so at a later date. Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

(a)On or before the date hereof, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall establish and maintain with the Depository Bank a deposit account in the name of Seller and under the sole control of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to which the Blocked Account Agreement shall have been executed (such account, together with any replacement or successor thereof, the “Blocked Account”). Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have sole dominion and control (including, without limitation, “control” within the meaning of Section 9.01(a) of the UCC) over the Blocked Account. Seller shall cause all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited in the Blocked Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Blocked Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets on the date specified for remittances as set forth in the Servicer Acknowledgment. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, which may include payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, shall be deposited directly into, or, if applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Blocked Account.

(b)Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Remittance Date, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied as follows:

(i)first, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Remittance Date;

(ii)second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, any accrued and unpaid Transaction Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii)third, if a Principal Payment in respect of any Purchased Asset has been made during the related Collection Period, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the product of the amount of such Principal Payment, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Percentage;

(iv)fourth, if a Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount such that, after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets is equal to the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets, as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after giving effect to such payment to the extent of remaining funds in the Blocked Account; and

If, on any Remittance Date, the amounts deposited in the Blocked Account shall be insufficient to make the payments required under (i) through (iii) above of this Section 5(b), and Seller does not otherwise make such payments on such Remittance Date, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(c)Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any unscheduled Principal Payment (including net sale proceeds) in respect of any Purchased Asset for which the Income thereof has been received by the Depository Bank during any Collection Period shall be applied, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of notice from Seller of its request to apply such payment in accordance with this subsection (c), as follows:

(i)first, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the product of the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by the Purchase Percentage;

(ii)second, if a Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to the extent of Income available after the payment made in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) above, an amount equal to the aggregate Margin Deficit until paid in full; and

(d)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied as determined in Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, acting in its sole discretion exercised in good faith pursuant to Section 14(b)(ii).

(e)If at any time during the term of any Transaction any Income is distributed to Seller with respect to the related Purchased Asset or Seller has otherwise received such Income and has made a payment in respect of such Income to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to this Section 5, and for any reason such amount is required to be returned by any Buyer to an obligor under such Purchased Asset (either before or after the Repurchase Date), such Buyer, may provide Seller and Administrative Agent with notice of such required return, and Seller shall pay the amount of such required return to such Buyer by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following Seller’s receipt of such notice.

(f)Subject to the other provisions hereof, Seller shall be responsible for all Transaction Costs in respect of any Purchased Assets to the extent it would be so obligated if the Purchased Assets had not been sold to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall provide Seller with notice of any Transaction Costs, and Seller shall pay the amount of any Transaction Costs to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the date on which Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has informed Seller that such amount is due under the Purchased Asset Documents and (ii) three (3) Business Days following Seller’s receipt of such notice.

(a)Administrative Agent, Buyers, and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of the Purchased Assets for all purposes (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) and not loans from Buyers to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in the event that any Transaction is deemed to be a loan, and as security for Seller’s performance of the Repurchase Obligations, Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, and together with the Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets (as defined below), the “Repurchase Assets”):

(i)all of the Purchased Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all security interests, mortgages and liens on personal or real property securing the Purchased Assets) and related Servicing Rights;

(iii)all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Eligible Property;

(iv)all “general intangibles”, “accounts” and “chattel paper” as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing;

(v)all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, any and all of the foregoing;

(vi)any other property, rights, titles or interests as are specified in the Confirmation and/or the Trust Receipt, the Purchased Asset Schedule or exception report with respect to the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created; and

(vii)the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein.

(b)With respect to the security interest in the Repurchase Assets granted in Section 6(a) and Section 6(f) hereof, and with respect to the security interests granted in Sections 6(c) and 6(d), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and any other applicable law and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or proceeds therefrom to the obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed as a protective filing with respect to the Repurchase Assets and as a UCC filing with respect to the security

interests granted in Sections 6(c), 6(d) and 6(f) one or more UCC financing statements in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (to be filed in the filing office indicated therein) and, with respect to Seller, containing the following collateral description “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words to that effect and, with respect to Pledgor, describing all of the items set forth in the definition of Collateral in the Pledge Agreement, in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the outright transfer (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) and the security interest granted hereby and, in each case, continuation statements and any amendments thereto (including, without limitation, by causing to be filed any amendments necessary to add or delete Repurchase Assets covered by the financing statement to reflect the purchase and repurchase of Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller and Pledgor shall, from time to time, at their own expense, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further filings, instruments and documents and take all such further actions as may be necessary or desirable or as may be requested by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to the perfection and priority of the outright transfer of the Purchased Assets and the security interest granted hereunder in the Repurchase Assets and the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c), 6(d) and 6(f) and the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to the Repurchase Assets (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) (including the payments of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement).

(c)Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Seller’s rights under all Hedging Transactions relating to Purchased Assets entered into by Seller and all proceeds thereof. Seller shall take all action as is necessary or desirable to obtain consent to assignment of any such Hedging Transaction to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and shall cause the counterparty under each such Hedging Transaction to enter into such document or instrument satisfactory to Administrative Agent, Seller and such counterparty, pursuant to which such counterparty will covenant and agree to accept notice from Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to redirect payments under such Hedging Transaction as Administrative Agent may direct. So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, agrees that it will not redirect payments under any Hedging Transaction pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(c).

(d)Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights and the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein and all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, the Servicing Rights and the Blocked Account.

(e)In connection with the repurchase by Seller of any Purchased Asset in accordance herewith, upon receipt of the Repurchase Price by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will deliver to Seller, at Seller’s expense, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to reconvey such Purchased Asset and any Income related thereto to Seller.

(f)In order to further secure the Repurchase Obligations hereunder, Seller hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Mezzanine Loans, all replacements, substitutions or distributions on, or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating thereto, and all related Servicing Rights, the Transaction Documents (to the extent such Transaction Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Mezzanine

Loans), all documentation governing the Mezzanine Loans, any right or interest in or to property of any kind whatsoever, whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, relating to the Mezzanine Loans, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Mezzanine Loans or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance, Income, interest rate protection agreements, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts) and any other contract rights, instruments, accounts, payments, rights to payment (including payments of interest or finance charges), general intangibles and other assets relating to the Mezzanine Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in Mezzanine Loans, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt with respect to the Mezzanine Loans, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets”).

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets and all rights thereunder shall be transferred to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price by Buyers to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will provide Seller with a Power of Attorney to Seller, allowing Seller to administer, operate and service such Purchased Assets. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Power of Attorney to Seller shall be binding upon Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns.

(b)With respect to each Table Funded Purchased Asset, Seller shall cause the Bailee to deliver to Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), on the Purchase Date, by electronic transmission a true and complete copy of the related Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note or Participation Certificate (as applicable) with assignment in blank (as applicable), loan agreement, Mortgage or Mezzanine Pledge Agreement and LLC certificate (as applicable), Title Policy, the Insured Closing Letter and Escrow Instructions, if any, and the executed Bailee Agreement and Trust Receipt. In connection with the sale of each Purchased Asset, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), two (2) Business Days prior to the related Purchase Date (or with respect to a Table Funded Purchased Asset not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date), Seller shall deliver or cause Bailee to deliver (with a copy to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers) and release to the Custodian (together with the Purchased Asset File Checklist), and shall cause the Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt on the Purchase Date (or in the case of a Table Funded Purchased Asset, not later than two (2) Business Days following the receipt by the Custodian) confirming the receipt of, the original (or where indicated, copied) documents set forth on Schedule 2, pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Purchased Asset File Checklist delivered therewith; provided that if Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the original Purchased Asset Documents required to be delivered as originals (excluding the Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note, the Assignment of Mortgage, the LLC certificate and, if applicable, the Participation Certificate, originals of which must be delivered at the time required under the provisions above), Seller shall deliver a photocopy thereof and an Officer’s Certificate of Seller certifying that such copy represents a true and correct copy of the original and shall use its best efforts to obtain and deliver such original document within one hundred eighty (180) days after the related Purchase Date (or such longer period after the related Purchase Date to which Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may consent in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, so long as Seller is, as certified in writing to Administrative Agent, not less frequently than monthly, using its best efforts to obtain the original). After the expiration of such best efforts period, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a certification that states, despite Seller’s best efforts, Seller was unable to obtain such original document, and thereafter Seller shall have no further obligation to deliver the related original document.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall, at its option, have the right to cancel the purchase of an Eligible Asset if the required originals and/or copies, as applicable, of the related promissory note, Mortgage and guaranty have not been delivered as required in this Agreement , to be exercised by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, if at all, within thirty (30) days following the date of Administrative Agent’s knowledge of the related delivery failure.

(c)From time to time, Seller shall forward to Custodian additional original documents or additional 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, Custodian shall, subject to and otherwise in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Custodial Agreement, hold such other documents on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall request from time to time. With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a true copy thereof with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation.

(b)Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers:

(i)At the option of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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, Pledgor 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, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”) (and any Transaction for which the related Purchase Date has not yet occurred shall be canceled).

(ii)If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(b)(i) hereof (A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date, and all Income deposited in the Blocked Account shall be retained by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and applied to the Repurchase Obligations; (B) the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall include the accrued and unpaid Price Differential with respect to each Purchased Asset accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon an Event of Default for such Transaction; and (C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (with simultaneous copy of such request to Seller), deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and (D) this Agreement shall automatically terminate, except with respect to those provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement.

(iii)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, after ten (10) days’ notice to Seller of Administrative Agent’s, intent to take such action (provided that no such notice shall be required in the circumstances set forth in Section 9-611(d) of the UCC), (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may deem to be satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis or (B) in its sole discretion exercised in good faith 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 Repurchase Obligations. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied: first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers, in connection with Seller’s default; second, to the costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if any; third, to the Repurchase Price; fourth, to all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations; and fifth, the balance, if any, to Seller. In the event that Buyers shall not have received repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations following its liquidation of the Purchased Assets, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, pursue Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor (to the extent provided in the Guaranty including, without limitation, the limitations on recourse set forth therein) for all or any part of any deficiency.

(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, to the extent permitted by applicable law, liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets shall not require a public purchase or sale and that a private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may elect, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to liquidate any Purchased Assets following the occurrence 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 Administrative Agent or Buyers.

(v)Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and Buyers, for (A) the amount of all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or Hedging Transactions (including short sales) or entering into replacement transactions, and (C) all damages, losses, judgments, costs and other expenses of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent and Buyers relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions or covering transactions, and (D) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Administrative Agent and Buyers, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Administrative Agent or Buyers may have.

(vii)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 Administrative Agent or Buyers to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(viii)Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Buyers, Administrative Agent and Buyers, shall have the right of set-off set forth in Section 26 hereof.

(ix)Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC 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 any Buyer and Seller or Administrative Agent, Buyer and Seller exercisable upon ten (10) days notice from Administrative Agent to Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s or any Subsidiary of Guarantor’s obligations to Administrative Agent, Buyers, or their Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Seller or any Subsidiary of Guarantor

and a Buyer or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or between Seller and any Affiliate of any Buyer or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s, right to recover any deficiency.

(x)Administrative Agent and each Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

(xi)For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have no obligation to review or purchase any Eligible Asset during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller agrees 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.

All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of attempted delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (d) by email (with confirmation of receipt by the receiving party); provided that, other than email notices with respect to communications under this Agreement related to (1) deliveries in connection with Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, due diligence inspections of the Purchased Assets, (2) requests for Transactions (including Future Advance Purchases, (3) notices of partial prepayments or draws on Margin Excess (including Future Advance Purchases), (4) the delivery of Confirmations, (5) notices of early repurchases, (6) deliveries of financial statements or other reporting required under this Agreement and (7) notices requesting consent for Significant Modifications, which will not require any further notice upon confirmation of receipt by the receiving party, that such email notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, to the addresses specified in Annex I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 16.

(a)The rights and obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents, the Hedging Transactions and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be null and void, ab initio.

(b)Any Buyer, may at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor, sell participations in up to one hundred percent (100%) (in the aggregate, in one or more Transactions, including any assignments under Section 17(c)) of such Buyer’s, rights and/or obligations under the Transaction Documents (any such holder of a participation, a “Participant”); provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, (i) Administrative Agent’s and such Buyer’s obligations and Seller’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Administrative Agent shall retain sole decision-making authority under the Transaction Documents (subject to the Co-Buyer Agreement), (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with Administrative Agent’s, rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (subject to the Co-Buyer Agreement) and (iv) such Buyer shall not assign, participate or sell any portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to any Prohibited Transferee.

From and after the date Administrative Agent or such Buyer, is no longer a party to this Agreement, Administrative Agent or such Buyer, as applicable, shall have no obligation to act as agent or to make decisions under this Agreement.

(e)Administrative Agent acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain 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 other interests under this Agreement (as the same may be modified by any Co-Buyer Agreement). The entries in such register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each of Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyers, and their respective assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or other interests under this Agreement for all purposes. If any assignee is a non-United States Person, such assignee shall timely provide Seller with such forms as may be required to establish the assignee’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes.

(f)If any Buyer sells a participation, Administrative Agent 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 of each participant in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or other interests under this Agreement.

If any participant is a non- United States Person, such participant shall timely provide Seller with such forms as may be required to establish such participant’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes.

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

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Buyer from pledging its interest in the Purchased Assets hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Buyer from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, no such pledge shall release such Buyer, as the case may be, from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Buyer, as the case may be, as a party hereto.

(a)This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection therewith, the relationship of the parties hereto, and/or interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof, except for Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.

(b)Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

(c)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.

(d)EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE 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 AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO IT AT ITS RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN.

ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 18 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR BUYERS TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR BUYERS TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

(i)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has assumed and relied upon, with Seller’s consent and without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the

information provided by Seller and reviewed by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has not made any independent inquiry of any aspect of the New Assets or Purchased Assets or the underlying collateral. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, view is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as of, the date of any such determination or communication of information, and such view may change at any time without prior notice to Seller.

(ii)Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller constitute a statement of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, view of the value of one or more loans or other assets at a particular point in time and does not (A) constitute a bid for a particular trade, (B) indicate a willingness on the part of Administrative Agent, any Buyer, or any Affiliate thereof to make such a bid, or (C) reflect a valuation for substantially similar assets at the same or another point in time, or for the same assets at another point in time.

(vi)Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller in connection with Section 3(b) hereof are only indicative of the initial Market Value of the New Asset submitted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for consideration thereunder, and may change without notice to Seller prior to, or subsequent to, the transfer by Seller of the New Asset pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof. No indication is provided as to Administrative Agent’s expectation of the future value of such Purchased Asset or the underlying collateral.

(viii)All determinations of Market Value must be made by Administrative Agent in a manner that is consistent with the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under New York law.

(a)Seller hereby agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers, and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations,

losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including the actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel and any and all servicing and enforcement costs incurred with respect to the Purchased Assets) 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 or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the fraudulent acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party 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 Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Administrative Agent or any Buyer in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset Documents, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against all expenses, loss or damage suffered by Administrative Agent and Buyers 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 an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the actual and reasonable fees and disbursements of its outside counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from any action taken in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the payment of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment, Income or any other payment or fees. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller. This paragraph shall not apply to any Taxes, other than Taxes that represent Indemnified Amounts arising from any non Tax claim.

(b)Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Administrative Agent or any Buyer (i) all Indemnified Amounts provided in Section 20(a), (ii) all of the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith including without limitation all the actual and reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of outside counsel to Administrative Agent and any Buyer, (iii) all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the Transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation all the actual and reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Administrative Agent and any Buyer, (iv) all costs and expenses contemplated by Section 14(b)(v) and (v) all the Diligence Fees (collectively, “Transaction Costs”).

Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 21, 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 determining or re-determining the Asset Base Component for purposes

of Section 4 of this Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and Appraisals on the applicable collateral and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Purchased Assets. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 any Purchased Asset in the possession or under the control of Seller, any servicer or sub-servicer and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files, the Servicing Records and the Purchased Assets. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and any third party underwriter designated by Administrative Agent or any Buyer in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 such Seller. Seller agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for any and all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, the cost of annual updated Appraisals on the Mortgaged Properties and Diligence Fees.

(a)The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets will be sold by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on a servicing released basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereby agree and confirm that from and after the date hereof, only such Servicing Agreements that have been approved by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall govern the servicing of the Purchased Assets and any prior agreement between Seller and any other Person or otherwise with respect to such servicing is hereby superseded in all respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Servicer Acknowledgment from Servicer, prior to an uncured Event of Default, Seller may retain Servicer, on behalf of Administrative Agent, to service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of or on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers; provided, however, that the obligation of Servicer to service any Purchased Asset for the benefit of or on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as aforesaid shall cease upon the repurchase of such Purchased Asset by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Servicer Acknowledgment.

(b)Seller agrees that, as between Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard any such Servicing Records in Seller’s possession and to deliver them promptly to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) at Administrative Agent’s request.

(c)Seller shall not, and shall not provide consent to Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, which approval shall be in Administrative Agent’s, sole discretion exercised in good faith.

(d)Seller shall cause Servicer and any other sub-servicers engaged on behalf of Administrative Agent to execute a Servicing Agreement with Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or a Servicer Acknowledgment acknowledging Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, interest in the Purchased Assets and the Servicing Agreement and agreeing that Servicer and any sub-servicer (if applicable) shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in the Blocked Account, all in such manner as shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.

(e)To the extent applicable and otherwise permitted under the related Servicing Agreement, Seller shall cause Servicer to permit Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to inspect Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such party that Servicer has the ability to service such Purchased Asset as provided in this Agreement.

(f)(i) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, sell the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Servicer, and (ii) to upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have the right immediately to terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee in accordance with the Servicer Acknowledgment and Servicing Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a debt financing, and that Seller is, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state or local taxing authority.

(a)The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)The parties intend and acknowledge that the Guaranty is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d)The parties intend and acknowledge that any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered “margin payments” or settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Sections 741(5) and 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code or a transfer as defined under Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e)The parties intend and acknowledge that the grants of security interests set forth in the Pledge Agreement and Section 6 that create the pledge of the Repurchase Assets, the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c), 6(d) or 6(f) and the Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets each constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

(g)Each party hereto recognizes and intends that this Agreement be and is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

(h)Each party hereto agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder as a “securities contract” or a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(i)It is understood that, for so long as the non-defaulting party is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Sections 555, 561, 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 546(e) or 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, that party shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement.” Accordingly, such party’s (i) right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Repurchase Assets, the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c), 6(d) or 6(f) and/or Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction and/or this Agreement as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) right to offset or net out as set forth Section 26 is a contractual right, (iii) right to exercise these contractual rights shall not be subject to the automatic stay as set forth in Bankruptcy Code Sections 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) and (iv) right not have transfers made in connection with this Agreement avoided as set forth in Sections 546(e) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code is a contractual right.

(j)The parties agree and acknowledge that the grant of setoff rights as set forth in Section 26 is a contractual right of setoff within the meaning of Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(k)The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the 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).

(l)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to 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). 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.

(m)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to 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).

(n)The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents.

(a)in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934 Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

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

(c)in the case of Transactions in which (i) one of the parties is a financial institution and/or (ii) 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 hereunder may not be a deposit and therefore may not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Buyers, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, and any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness, claims, securities, collateral or other property, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Administrative Agent, Buyers, or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit of the account of Seller, to any obligations of Seller hereunder to Administrative Agent or Buyers. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. This Section 26 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(i)Each of Seller and each Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent has been appointed the Administrative Agent for the Transactions, and each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to act as agent for and in the best interest of Buyers and to take such actions as Buyers are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

This Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture between Administrative Agent and any Buyer. In performing its functions and duties under the Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Buyers and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Seller.

(ii)The agency created pursuant hereto shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any additional duties or obligations upon, any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Buyer. With respect to its interest in the Transactions, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as a Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it, as Administrative Agent, hereunder. The term “Buyers” or “Buyer” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Buyer and not as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Seller or any of its Affiliates (in each case not related to the Transactions) as if it were not performing its duties as Administrative Agent or Buyer (as applicable) specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Seller or its Affiliates for services in connection therewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Administrative Agent or the other Buyers, as applicable.

(iii)In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 27, each Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Buyer (i) to enter into Transaction Documents and any amendments or modifications thereof, (ii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and Transaction Documents to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve Administrative Agent’s, on behalf Buyers, Liens therein, (iii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and the Transaction Documents to transfer the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and (iv) to execute instruments of release and terminations or to take other action necessary to release liens upon any Purchased Asset. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 27(a)(iii) to Administrative Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Transaction Documents remain in effect.

(iv)Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Co-Buyer Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive representative of Buyers on all matters relating to the Transactions, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and, subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the Co-Buyer Agreement, each Buyer shall be bound by the acts of Administrative Agent with respect to the Transactions.

(b)Administrative Agent Standard of Care. Administrative Agent shall administer and service its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall make such decisions

and take such actions as it shall in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection therewith, in each case consistent with the Standard of Care.

(i)Each Buyer (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Buyer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Buyer (any of the foregoing, a “Erroneous Payment Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Erroneous Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment, Income, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment, such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 27(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(ii)Without limitation of clause (i) above, each Erroneous Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that if such Erroneous Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Erroneous Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect to such Payment. Each Erroneous Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made.

(iii)Any Payment required to be returned by an Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 27(c) shall be made in immediately available funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Erroneous Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(iv)Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor hereby agrees that (x) in the event any Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Buyer that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Buyer with respect to such amount and (y) the receipt by any Erroneous Payment Recipient of a Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Repurchase Obligations owed to such Buyer by Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor.

(d)Ratable Share. The liabilities of each Buyer under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be several and not joint, no Buyer shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Buyer, and each Buyer shall be liable to Seller only for its respective pro rata share of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Seller and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Buyer in accordance with its share of the Transactions.

(e)Co-Buyer Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more Co-Buyer Agreements governing the relationship among the parties thereto. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent’s discretion under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be subject to the limitations in any such Co-Buyer Agreements, including the requirement that Administrative Agent obtain approval of Buyer prior to granting certain consents or approvals or taking certain actions under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents. Any Co-Buyer Agreements are intended and will be solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the applicable parties thereto, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller, Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor shall be a third-party beneficiary (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, or have any rights thereunder or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither Administrative Agent nor Buyer shall have any obligation to provide a copy of any Co-Buyer Agreement to Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor or to disclose to Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor the contents of any Co-Buyer Agreement. Administrative Agent and Buyers acknowledge and agree that neither Seller, Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor shall have any liabilities, obligations or duties of any kind with respect to any Co-Buyer Agreement, nor any of the provisions contained therein. The obligations of Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor under the Transaction Documents are and will be independent of any Co-Buyer Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the provisions thereof (although Seller acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions hereunder and subject to the Fee Letter, any Co-Buyer Agreement may require Administrative Agent to consult with or receive the approval of Buyer prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding the same).

(f)Successor Administrative Agents. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents upon notice to Buyers and Seller. If Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed by Buyers, then Buyers shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that such successor Administrative Agent meets the applicable “know your customer” requirements of the Servicer and Custodian. The term “Administrative Agent” shall mean each such successor Administrative Agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. In no event shall there be more than one Administrative Agent hereunder.

(a)The Transaction Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to Administrative Agent and Buyers, and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Administrative Agent and Buyers, except for disclosure to Seller’s Affiliates, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants (the “Representatives”); provided that Seller shall inform each of its Representatives receiving any Transaction Documents of the confidential nature of the Transaction Documents, direct its Representatives to treat the Transaction Documents confidentially, and be

responsible for any improper use of the Transaction Documents by Seller or its Representatives or upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent (if permitted by law), disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent (if permitted by law), disclosure to any Approved Hedge Counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedging Transaction hereunder or any disclosures or filing required under SEC or state securities’ laws. Seller shall cooperate in Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s, efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Transaction Documents. If, in the absence of a protective order, Seller or any of its Representatives is compelled as a matter of law to disclose any such information, Seller may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of the Transaction Documents as is required by law to be disclosed (in which case, prior to such disclosure, Seller shall advise and consult with Administrative Agent or any Buyer, and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure) and Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Administrative Agent and Buyers acknowledge that this Agreement may be filed with the SEC; provided that Seller shall redact any pricing and other confidential provisions, including, without limitation, the amount of any Upfront Fee, Extension Fee, Applicable Spread and Purchase Percentage from such filed copy of this Agreement to the extent permitted to do so by the SEC or such state authority.

(c)No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by Administrative Agent 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 Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (in accordance with the Co-Buyer Agreement).

(d)Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder, and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

(e)All rights, remedies and powers of Administrative Agent or any 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 Administrative Agent or any Buyer, whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement to the extent applicable, Administrative Agent and each Buyer, shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law.

(f)This Agreement and 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. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents may be delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, or by other electronic transmission, in portable document format (.pdf) or otherwise, and each such executed facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic record shall be considered an original executed counterpart for purposes of this Agreement and any Transaction Document. Each party to this Agreement (a) agrees that it will be bound by its own Electronic Signature (as such term is defined immediately below), (b) accepts the Electronic Signature of each other party to this Agreement and any Transaction Document, and (c) agrees that such Electronic Signatures shall be the legal equivalent of manual signatures. The term “Electronic Signature” means (i) the signing party’s manual signature on a signature page, converted by the signing party (or its agent) to facsimile or digital form (such as a .pdf file) and received from the customary email address or customary facsimile number of the signing party (or its counsel or representative), or other mutually agreed-upon authenticated source; or (ii) the signing party’s digital signature executed using a mutually agreed-upon digital signature service provider and digital

signature process. The words “execution,” “executed”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other state law.

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

(h)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.

(i)This Agreement, the Fee Letter and each Confirmation 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.

(j)Each party understands that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that such party 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.

(k)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.

(l)Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the words “including”, “include”, or “includes” are used herein, they shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Asset is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one-action or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) that certain provisions in such Purchased Asset Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance or prepayment fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related borrower with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Purchased Asset Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Purchased Asset, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents.

(5)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Asset Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty, participation agreement, if applicable, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on Purchased Asset; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participating Person has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Asset Documents. With respect to each Purchased Asset, except as contained in a written document included in the Purchased Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Asset consented to by Seller.

(6)

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Asset or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications subject to the limitations described in Paragraph (9) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(7)

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset is covered by a Title Policy in the original principal amount of such Purchased Asset (or with respect to a Purchased Asset secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. None of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

(10)

UCC Filings. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC-1 financing

(11)

Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Purchased Asset and within twelve months of the Purchase Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Asset no more than twelve months prior to the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, each related Mortgaged Property was (a) free and clear of any material damage, (b) in good repair and condition and (c) is free of structural defects, except in each case (i) for any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Asset, (ii) if such repairs have been completed or (iii) if escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans its holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

(17)

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Asset and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain an insurance policy issued by the National Flood Insurance Program, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or such similar Federal agency acting in its capacity as an insurer against losses from

flooding, in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirement.

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

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s in an amount not less than 150% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Purchased Asset obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law)

arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(19)

No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Asset, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements have been obtained under the Title Policy.

(25)

Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset, there are no material violations of applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, building codes, restrictions and land laws (collectively, “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

No such Purchased Asset that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Purchased Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties.

(31)

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph (28) herein, or (vii) to the extent set forth in any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise.

With respect to any Purchased Asset where the Purchased Asset is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

(38)

No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Purchased Date, no Purchased Asset is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset, or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this Paragraph (38) does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) (the “Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 20% or greater direct ownership share (the “Major Sponsors”). Seller (a) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (b) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that manual public records searches were limited to the last 10 years (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of Seller, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized “environmental conditions” as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor (the “Environmental Conditions”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or

closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s actual knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

In the case of each Purchased Asset with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance Policy has been issued by the issuer set forth in the related Exception Report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii) (A) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Purchased Asset.

(42)

Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the rent roll delivered as of the origination date. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Purchased Asset, and to Seller’s knowledge, (i) the related lease is in full force and effect and (ii) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area maintenance (“CAM”) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Purchased Asset that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property that secure a Purchased Asset that

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING EACH PURCHASED ASSET THAT IS A MEZZANINE LOAN

With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Mezzanine Loan and the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, on the related Purchase Date and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction contemplated hereunder is in effect, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as of such date; provided, however, that, with respect to any Purchased Asset, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any Exception Report delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto.

(4)

Loan Document Status. Each related Mezzanine Note, Mezzanine Pledge Agreement, guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Asset is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one-action or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) that certain provisions in such Purchased Asset Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance or prepayment fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (a) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the lender’s

having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, with any excess applied to the existing outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan. All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (14) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Purchased Asset obligates the underlying Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(20)

Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that: (a) Mezzanine Borrower and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from Mezzanine Borrower (but may be affiliated with Mezzanine Borrower) that has assets other than equity in the underlying Mortgagor that are not de minimis) shall be fully liable for losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of Mezzanine Borrower and/or its principals specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misappropriation of rents (following an event of default), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (iv) intentional misconduct and (v) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and (b) the Purchased Asset shall become full recourse to Mezzanine Borrower and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from Mezzanine Borrower (but may be affiliated with Mezzanine Borrower) that has assets other than equity in the underlying Mortgagor that are not de minimis), upon any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed or consented to by Mezzanine Borrower, (ii) Mezzanine Borrower and/or its principals shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to Mezzanine Borrower or (iii) upon the transfer of the equity interests in the underlying Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents.

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the mezzanine lender (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interest of greater than 50% in the related underlying Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of Mezzanine Borrower or the related underlying Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the underlying Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, or (vi) to the extent set forth in any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related underlying Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related underlying Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances, or the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against such collateral, other than any liens granted pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents. The Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mezzanine Borrower is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mezzanine lender relative to such transfer or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise.

If applicable, the ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Mezzanine Loan is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of the Mezzanine Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to mezzanine lender (or, in the alternative, mortgage lender has agreed to send such notice to mezzanine lender pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement) and (iv) it would accept cure from mezzanine lender on behalf of the ground lessee (or, in the alternative, mortgage lender has agreed to tender such cure on behalf of mezzanine lender pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement).

No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Purchased Date, no Purchased Asset is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset or the collateral for the Mezzanine Loan, or the value, use or operation of the underlying Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this Paragraph (30) does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

(32)

Organization of Mezzanine Borrower. With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of Mezzanine Borrower delivered by Mezzanine Borrower in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, Mezzanine Borrower is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. No Purchased Asset has a Mezzanine Borrower that is an Affiliate of another Mezzanine Borrower. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mezzanine Borrower which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mezzanine Borrower (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mezzanine Borrower) (the “Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 20% or greater direct ownership share (the “Major Sponsors”). Seller (a) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (b) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that manual public records searches were limited to the last 10 years (clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of Seller, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

(33)

Environmental Conditions. In the case of each Purchased Asset with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance has been issued by the issuer set forth in the related Exception Report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii) (A) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related underlying Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related underlying Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related underlying Mortgaged Property, the related underlying Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the underlying Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) an underlying Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the

(34)

Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset for which the underlying Mortgage Loan is secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related underlying Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the rent roll delivered as of the origination date. With respect to each Purchased Asset for which the underlying Mortgage Loan is predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Purchased Asset, and to Seller’s knowledge, (i) the related lease is in full force and effect and (ii) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area maintenance (“CAM”) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Purchased Asset for which the underlying Mortgage Loan is predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Purchased Asset that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the underlying Mortgaged Property related to the Purchased Asset that is represented as of the origination date. To Seller’s knowledge, (i) each lease represented on the rent roll delivered as of the origination date is in full force and effect and (ii) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the underlying Mortgaged Property either by the lessee thereunder or by the related underlying Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.
