provided that, in the case of clauses (1) or (2) above, such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall mean, with respect to any replacement of the then current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Pricing Rate Period for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

(1)           for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by Buyer:

(a)            the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Pricing Rate Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; or

(b)           the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Pricing Rate Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

(2)            for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Buyer for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated loans or other similar agreements; provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including, without limitation, changes to the definitions of “Pricing Rate Period”, “Pricing Rate Determination Date”, “Reference Time” and any similar defined term in this Agreement, provisions with respect to timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of price differential, timing of transaction requests, future funding requests, prepayments or repayments, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Benchmark Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that Buyer decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by Buyer in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if Buyer decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if Buyer determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as Buyer decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)

in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2)

in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event”, the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

(3)

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.

“Benchmark Transition Event” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1)

a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(2)

(1)

any rate, or methodology for this rate, and conventions for such rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining compounded SOFR; provided that:

(2)

if, and to the extent that, Buyer determines that Compounded SOFR cannot be determined in accordance with clause (1) above, then any rate, or methodology for such rate, and conventions for such rate that Buyer determines are substantially consistent with at least five (5) currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated loans or other similar agreements at such time (as a result of amendment, application of fallback benchmark rates or as originally executed);

provided, further, that if Buyer decides that any such rate, methodology or convention determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) is not administratively feasible for Buyer, then Compounded SOFR will be deemed unable to be determined for purposes of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

“Corresponding Tenor” shall mean a tenor or observation period (including overnight), as applicable, having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as the Pricing Rate Period.

“Early Opt-in Election” shall mean, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the occurrence of:

“(iv)        conversion of the Benchmark to a Benchmark Replacement on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period”.

(g)            Article 3(g) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(g)         Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(i)            Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or a Term SOFR Transition Event, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then:

(A)            if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and

(B)            if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Seller without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(ii)            Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Buyer will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(iii)           Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the then-current Benchmark (or, if such Benchmark is LIBOR, such Benchmark is determined pursuant to the second through fifth sentences in the definition of “LIBOR”), as of any date of determination, Buyer may give notice to Seller, whereupon the Benchmark portion of the Pricing Rate for such date of determination, and for all subsequent dates of determination until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer (or until the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event, Early Opt-in Election or Term SOFR Transition Event, as applicable, with respect to the Benchmark which cannot be ascertained, and the related Benchmark Replacement Date), shall be a Benchmark Replacement determined by Buyer pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”.

(iv)           Term SOFR Transition. If (i) a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred and the applicable Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date is a Benchmark Replacement other than the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, (ii) subsequently, the Relevant Governmental Body recommends for use a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR and (iii) Buyer determines (in its sole discretion) that such forward looking term rate is administratively feasible for Buyer, then Buyer may (in its sole discretion) provide Seller with written notice (a “Term SOFR Transition Event”) that from and after a date identified in such notice: (i) a Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to have occurred and the Benchmark Replacement on such Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to be a Benchmark Replacement determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”; provided, however, that if upon such Benchmark Replacement Date the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment is unable to be determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” and the corresponding definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”, then the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment in effect immediately prior to such Benchmark Replacement Date shall be utilized for purposes of this Benchmark Replacement and (ii) such forward looking term rate shall be deemed to be the forward looking term rate referenced in the definition of “Term SOFR” for all purposes under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting and any subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. For the avoidance of doubt, if the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence shall occur, all applicable provisions set forth in this Article 3(g) shall apply with respect to such election of Buyer as completely as if such forward-looking term rate was initially determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Article 3(g)(ii).

(v)            Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Buyer will promptly notify Seller of (a) any Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (c) the effectiveness of any changes to the calculation of the Pricing Rate described in Article 3(g)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by Buyer as set forth in this Article 3(g) may be provided, at the option of Buyer (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as a part of, any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Buyer pursuant to this Article 3(g), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Buyer’s sole discretion and without consent from Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(vi)          Disclaimer. Buyer does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (ii) the composition or characteristics of any such Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to LIBOR (or any other Benchmark) or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR (or any other Benchmark), (iii) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by Article 3(g), including, without limitation, whether or not a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors of LIBOR (or any other Benchmark), the implementation or lack thereof of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by Article 3(g)(v) or otherwise in accordance herewith, and (iv) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of Article 3(g).

(vii)         Acknowledgement of Benchmark Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that a Benchmark Transition Event in respect of LIBOR occurred on March 5, 2021. Although June 30, 2023 (the “Anticipated Benchmark Replacement Date”) is the anticipated date on which the administrator of LIBOR will permanently or indefinitely cease to provide LIBOR or on which LIBOR will be declared no longer representative, the Benchmark Replacement Date cannot be determined with certainty by Buyer as of the date hereof. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may determine that the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to LIBOR will differ from the Anticipated Benchmark Replacement Date in connection with the occurrence of another Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or a Term SOFR Transition Event.”

(h)           The definition of “Eligibility Criteria” is hereby modified by replacing “LIBOR” with “a Benchmark”.

(i)            Article 3(i)(1) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful for Buyer (A) to enter into Transactions, then the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall forthwith be canceled or (B) to maintain or continue Transactions, then a Repurchase Date shall occur for all Transactions on the next Remittance Date or on such earlier date as may be required by law. If Buyer shall exercise its rights under Articles 3(i)(2) or 3(i)(3) hereof, then Seller shall have the right, within ninety (90) days after Buyer has delivered written notice to Seller that it will exercise its rights under Articles 3(i)(2) or 3(i)(3) hereof (unless Buyer has at such time waived any claims pursuant to such Articles or such Articles no longer apply) to terminate this Agreement and all Transactions hereunder by payment in full to Buyer of the then outstanding Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets, and, in connection with any such termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, no Exit Fee shall be payable by Seller with respect to the repurchase of the Purchased Assets.”

(j)            Article 3(i)(2)(B) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified by the deletion of the phrase “LIBOR” and the insertion in its place of the word “Benchmark”.

(k)           Article 5(b) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby modified by the deletion of the phrase “Tremont Mortgage Trust” and the insertion in its place of the phrase “Seven Hills Realty Trust”.

(l)            Exhibit I of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, no Exit Fee shall be payable by Seller with respect to the repurchase of a Purchased Asset if Seller is repurchasing such Purchased Asset because Buyer made a determination, decision or election under Article 3(g) of the Repurchase Agreement, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection that, in Seller’s reasonable judgement, is inconsistent with then prevailing market conventions for repurchase facilities financing the making of commercial real estate mortgage loans similar to the affected Purchased Loans; provided, that, Seller’s repurchase of such Purchased Asset shall be within ninety (90) days after Buyer has delivered written notice of such determination, decision or election under Article 3(g) of the Repurchase Agreement.”

2.            Seller Name Change. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller may, in its discretion, change its legal name to “Seven Hills CB Lender LLC” or a variation thereof and that, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, such change of name shall be permitted without the need to obtain Buyer’s approval; provided, however, Seller shall, at Buyer’s reasonable request, promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments, documents and information and take such further actions as Buyer may deem reasonably necessary or desirable to (a) obtain or preserve the security interest granted hereunder, (b) ensure that such security interest remains fully perfected at all times and remains at all times first in priority as against all other creditors of Seller (whether or not existing as of the date hereof or in the future), (c) obtain or preserve the rights and powers herein granted (including, among other things, filing such UCC financing statements as Buyer may request) or (d) ensure compliance with the Patriot Act or any other Requirements of Law in all material respects.

Seller hereby represents and warrants that (i) no amendments have been made to the organizational documents of Seller since February 9, 2018 and (ii) there have been no changes to any of the certifications made by Seller pursuant to that certain Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Secretary of Seller dated February 9, 2018 except that David M.
