All Income (other than amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(c) or 7(d) hereof or deposited in escrow accounts pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) in respect of the Purchased Assets and any payments in respect of associated Interest Rate Protection Agreements, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, shall be deposited into the Securities Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Servicer and shall be remitted from the Securities Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Control Account Agreement. All such Income shall be held in trust for Buyer, shall constitute the property of Buyer and once deposited into the Securities Account shall not be commingled with other property of Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, or Servicer. Servicer shall have the right at all times, subject to the provisions of the Control Account Agreement, to access and remove funds in the Securities Account to the extent permitted by this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. Such amounts may be remitted to Seller under certain circumstances set forth in this Agreement and may be invested in Permitted Investments that mature on the succeeding Price Differential Payment Date.

b. Except in relation to amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(c) or 7(d) hereof, Seller shall cause the Servicer to deposit all Income (other than amounts deposited in escrow accounts), derived from the Purchased Assets, whether constituting collections thereon or proceeds of sale thereof, into the Securities Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Servicer.

c. In addition, with respect to each Purchased Asset, Seller and Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian of such Purchased Asset an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit N. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer may deliver such instruction letter to the borrower of such Purchased Asset.

d. All Balloon Payments and Principal Prepayments received on account of a Purchased Asset deposited into the Securities Account shall be held therein until the earlier of (i) the Price Differential Payment Date or (ii) the next Business Day after Seller or Servicer provides notice to Securities Intermediary and Buyer directing Securities Intermediary how to distribute such deposits in accordance with a Distribution Worksheet. Subject to the terms of the Control Account Agreement, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Seller or Servicer shall instruct Securities Intermediary to withdraw or reserve such deposits as follows:

(1) first, to Buyer to reduce the Purchase Price of the related Purchased Asset by an amount equal to such deposit multiplied by the Effective Advance Rate;

(2) second, to Buyer in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit;

(3) third, to the payment of all other costs and fees payable to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(4) fourth, any remainder shall be paid to Seller.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such deposits held under this Section 7(d) shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 7(f), below.

e. Funds deposited in the Securities Account during any LIBOR Period (except as provided in Section 4(c), Section 7(d) and with respect to funds used to purchase Permitted Investments) shall be held therein until the next Price Differential Payment Date. On or before 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Price Differential Payment Date, Seller or Servicer shall deliver to Buyer and the Securities Intermediary a Distribution Worksheet. Subject to the terms of the Control Account Agreement, Seller or Servicer shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to withdraw any funds on deposit in the Securities Account and distribute such funds as follows:

(1) first, to Buyer in payment of any accrued and unpaid Price Differential to the extent not paid by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 5;

(2) second, without limiting the rights of Buyer under Section 6 of this Agreement, to Buyer, in the amount of any unpaid Margin Deficit;

(3) third, to Buyer in reduction of the Purchase Price of each Purchased Asset, the full amount of any payments of principal or other invested amount received on or with respect to such Purchased Asset multiplied by the Effective Advance Rate, in each case only to the extent not previously paid pursuant to Sections 4(c), 4(d), 6(a), 6(e), 6(f) or 7(d) hereof;

(4) fourth, to the payment of all other costs and fees payable to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(5) fifth, any remainder shall be paid to Seller.

f. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, all funds in the Securities Account shall be withdrawn and applied:

(1) first, in the same order of priority as Sections (e)(1), (2), (3) and (4) above;

(2) second, to reduction of the Repurchase Price until reduced to zero; and

(3) third, any remainder shall be paid to Seller.

g. Buyer shall offset against the accrued and outstanding Price Differential all Price Differential payments actually received by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.

8. Security Interest

On each Purchase Date, in exchange for receipt of the Purchase Price, Seller hereby sells, assigns and conveys to Buyer all rights and interests in the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule and the related Repurchase Assets. Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than for accounting and tax purposes), in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, and in any event, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in Seller’s rights, title and interests in the Purchased Assets, the Records, all related Servicing Rights, the Program Agreements (to the extent such Program Agreements and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Purchased Assets), any Property relating to the Purchased Assets, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance and hazard insurance, Income, the Securities Account, Interest Rate Protection Agreements, accounts (including any interest of Seller in escrow accounts and reserve accounts) relating to the Purchased Assets 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 Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any other interest in the Purchased Assets, 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 Transaction Request and Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt with respect to the Purchased Assets, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”). At the request of Buyer, Seller agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Seller hereby authorizes the Buyer to file financing statements relating to the Repurchase Assets, as the Buyer, at its option, may reasonably deem appropriate and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section.

The Seller acknowledges that it does not have rights to service the Purchased Assets other than its rights as a party to the current Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, Seller grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the Servicing Rights, as indicated in the paragraph above. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

d. Notwithstanding the assignment of the Program Agreements with respect to each Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller agrees and covenants with Buyer to enforce diligently Seller’s rights and remedies set forth in the Program Agreements.

e. Taxes.

(1) Any and all payments by Seller under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreements to which the Seller is a party shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding) assessments, fees, other charges and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), unless required by law. If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements to the Buyer (including for purposes of Section 11(b) and this Section 11(e), any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 11(e)) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(2) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, court or documentary, filing, intangible, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Program Agreement (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(3) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 11(e) imposed on or paid by such Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 11(e)(3) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 11(e)(3) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes demand therefor and, if applicable, provides to Seller evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Seller, of Buyer’s payment of such amounts.

(4) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to Buyer for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(5) For purposes of this Section 11(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Any Buyer (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “N.A.” “National Association, “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Buyer”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(a) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Buyer claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(b) in the case of an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M (a “Section 11(E) Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(c) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments; or

(d) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 11(E) Certificate; or

(e) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 11(E) Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 11(E)(e) if each such beneficial owner were a Buyer, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent that the actual Buyer is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (e) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, as determined by the Seller in its sole reasonable discretion, provided, however, that Buyer shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(f) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 11(e)(5) if such beneficial owner were the Buyer; or

(g) in the case of a Non-Exempt Buyer that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 11(E) Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by each such person pursuant to this Section 11(e)(5) if each such person were a Buyer.

If the Buyer provides a form pursuant to clause (e)(5) and the form provided by the Buyer at the time such Buyer first becomes a party to this Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Buyer provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Agreement, Buyer transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 11(e), then the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that the Buyer transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Buyer assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

For any period with respect to which Buyer has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 11(e), if required, (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by such Buyer or, (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such Buyer to deliver such form, certificate or other document), Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 11(e) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Buyer become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Buyer shall reasonably request, to assist such Buyer in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 11(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 11(e) shall require the Buyer to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

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

12. Servicing

a. Seller, on Buyer’s behalf, shall contract with Servicer to, or if Seller is the Servicer, Seller shall, service the Purchased Assets pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, consistent with the degree of skill and care that Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Purchased Assets owned or managed by it and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Servicing Agreement shall require, inter alia, that: Servicer (i) comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, (ii) maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its servicing responsibilities hereunder and (iii) not impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Assets or any payment thereunder. In addition, the Servicing Agreement shall require that the Servicer deposit all collections of Income (other than amounts deposited in escrow accounts pursuant to the Servicing Agreement) received by Servicer on account of the Purchased Assets in the Securities Account no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt.

b. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default hereunder, (ii) the occurrence and during the continuation (provided that no Servicer Termination Event may be waived by Seller without the written consent of Buyer) of an event of default under the Servicing Agreement (beyond any and all applicable periods of notice and cure), or (iii) a downgrade of Servicer by Morningstar to a rating below “CS3” or by S&P to a rating below “Average” (any of clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) a “Servicer Termination Event”), Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall cooperate and shall use its best efforts to cause Servicer to cooperate in transferring the servicing of the Purchased Assets to a successor Servicer appointed by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion.

c. Upon the occurrence of a Backup Servicer Trigger Event, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to appoint a Backup Servicer. Seller shall cooperate and shall use its best efforts to cause Servicer to cooperate in (i) immediately providing Backup Servicer with copies of all Asset Files and Records in the possession of Servicer, and (ii) complying with all document and information requests of Buyer and Backup Servicer.

d. If Seller should discover that, for any reason whatsoever, Servicer or any entity responsible for managing or servicing any Purchased Assets has failed to perform in all material respects any of the obligations of such entities with respect to the Purchased Assets, or that an event of default under the Servicing Agreement (beyond any and all applicable periods of notice and cure) has occurred, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. The Seller shall cause the Servicer to execute a Power of Attorney, in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, to be delivered on the date hereof, which Power of Attorney shall only be exercised during the occurrence and continuance of any Servicer Termination Event.

e. In the event that the Servicer is a master servicer of a Purchased Asset which is serviced by a Third Party Servicer, the Seller shall provide promptly to Buyer a Servicer Notice, Pledge and Redirection Letter addressed to and agreed to by the Third Party Servicer of the related Purchased Assets, advising such Third Party Servicer of such matters as Buyer may reasonably request, including, without limitation, recognition by the master servicer of Buyer’s interest in such Purchased Assets and the Third Party Servicer’s agreement that upon receipt of notice of an Event of Default from Buyer, it will follow the instructions of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets and any related Income with respect thereto.

f. Seller shall not employ sub-servicers (other than the Servicer or Affiliates thereof or Third Party Servicers) to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Purchased Assets are serviced, in whole or in part, by a sub-servicer (i) Servicer shall nevertheless remain primarily liable to Buyer for the servicing of the Purchased Assets under the Servicing Agreement; and (ii) any agreement with a subservicer shall entitle Buyer to terminate such subservicer without fee or penalty in the event that Servicer is replaced.

g. Seller shall cause Servicer to provide to Buyer, electronically, in a format mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, by no later than the Reporting Date, the Servicing Report.

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

13. Representations and Warranties

a. Each of Seller and Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date hereof and as of each Purchase Date for any Transaction that:

Seller has the requisite power and authority and legal right to originate and purchase Eligible Assets (as applicable) and to own, sell and grant a lien on all of its right, title and interest in and to the Eligible Assets.

(3) Power. Each of Seller and Guarantor has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(4) Due Authorization. Each of Seller and Guarantor has all necessary corporate or other power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Program Agreements, as applicable. This Agreement, any Transaction Request and Confirmation and the Program Agreements have been (or, in the case of Program Agreements and any Transaction Request and Confirmation not yet executed, will be) duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and Guarantor, all requisite or other corporate action having been taken, and each, as applicable, is valid, binding and enforceable against Seller and Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, by other insolvency laws, or by general principles of equity.

(5) Financial Statements. The Guarantor has heretofore furnished to Buyer a copy of (a) its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year of the Guarantor ended December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, with the opinion thereon of Grant Thornton, LLP and (b) its consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated balance sheets of its consolidated Subsidiaries for the quarterly fiscal periods of the Guarantor ended March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such quarterly fiscal periods, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of their operations as at such dates and for such fiscal periods, all in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Since December 31, 2011, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole from that set forth in said financial statements nor is Seller aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such material adverse change. The Guarantor has, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this Section (the “Statement Date”) no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of Seller except as heretofore disclosed to Buyer in writing.

(6) Event of Default. There exists no Event of Default under Section 15(b) hereof, which default gives rise to a right to accelerate indebtedness as referenced in Section 15(b) hereof, under any mortgage, borrowing agreement or other instrument or agreement pertaining to indebtedness for borrowed money or to the repurchase of mortgage loans or securities.

(7) Solvency. Each of Seller and Guarantor is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent by any Transaction and, after giving effect to such Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. Neither Seller nor Guarantor intends to incur, nor believes that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The amount of consideration being received by Seller upon the sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for such Purchased Assets. Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

(8) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Seller and Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction Request and Confirmation hereunder and the Program Agreements do not conflict with any term or provision of the formation documents of Seller or Guarantor or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Seller or Guarantor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over Seller or Guarantor, which conflict would have a Material Adverse Effect and will not result in any violation of any such mortgage, instrument, agreement or obligation to which Seller or Guarantor is a party.

(9) True and Complete Disclosure. All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate thereof or any of their officers furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate or officer thereof, or the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Program Agreements are true and complete and do not omit to disclose any material facts necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading. All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(10) Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to any governmental authority or court is required under applicable law in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Seller or Guarantor of this Agreement, any Transaction Request and Confirmation and the Program Agreements.

(11) Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending with respect to which either Seller or Guarantor has received service of process or, to the best of Seller’s or Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against it before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Transaction, Transaction Request and Confirmation or any Program Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Transaction Request and Confirmation or any Program Agreement, (C) makes a claim individually in an amount greater than $100,000 with respect to Seller and $2,500,000 with respect to Guarantor or in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000 with respect to Seller and $2,500,000 with respect to Guarantor, (D) which requires filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder or (E) which might materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the performance by it of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Request and Confirmation or any Program Agreement.

(12) Material Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, or properties of Seller, Guarantor or any Significant Affiliate since the date set forth in the most recent financial statements supplied to Buyer as determined by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion.

(a) Seller, Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have timely paid all Taxes, except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Seller, Guarantor and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are adequate.

(b) RAIT Financial Trust is and has always been treated as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Seller will be treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes or as a corporation that will be a qualified REIT subsidiary (“QRS”) of RAIT Financial Trust.

(16) Chief Executive Office; Jurisdiction of Organization. On the Effective Date, Seller’s chief executive office, is, and has been, located at Cira Centre, 2929 Arch Street, 17th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104-2870.

Each Plan to which Seller, Guarantor or its Subsidiaries make direct contributions, and, to the knowledge of Seller, Guarantor, each other Plan and each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law.

(19) Adverse Selection. Seller has not selected the Purchased Assets in a manner so as to adversely affect Buyer’s interests.

(20) Agreements. Neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller is a party to any agreement, instrument, or indenture or subject to any restriction materially and adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition, except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 13(a)(5) hereof. Neither Seller nor any Subsidiary of Seller is in default (beyond any and all applicable notice and cure periods) in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of Seller as a whole.

(21) Other Indebtedness. Seller has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement.

(22) No Reliance. Each of Seller and Guarantor has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Program Agreements and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Neither Seller nor Guarantor is relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

(23) Plan Assets. Neither Seller nor Guarantor is an employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3 of Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, the Purchased Assets are not “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 CFR §2510.3-101 as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA in the Seller’s hands, and transactions by or with Seller or Guarantor are not subject to any state or local statute regulating investments, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA.

Buyer has the right to require, in its unreviewable discretion, Seller to repurchase within one (1) Business Day after receipt of notice from Buyer any Purchased Asset for which a breach of one or more of the representations and warranties referenced in Section 13(b) exists and which breach (i) has a material adverse effect on the value of such Purchased Asset or the interests of Buyer or (ii)  as determined by Buyer, in its good faith discretion, causes such Purchased Asset to be unacceptable for inclusion in a securitization.

14. Covenants

Any Governmental Authority or any person, agency or entity acting or purporting to act under governmental authority shall have taken any action to condemn, seize or appropriate, or to assume custody or control of, all or any substantial part of the Property of Seller, Guarantor or any Significant Affiliate thereof, or shall have taken any action to displace the management of Seller, Guarantor or any Significant Affiliate thereof or to curtail its authority in the conduct of the business of Seller, Guarantor or any Significant Affiliate thereof, or takes any action in the nature of enforcement to remove, limit or restrict the approval of Seller, Guarantor or Significant Affiliate as an issuer, buyer or a seller/servicer of mortgage loans or securities backed thereby, and such action provided for in this subparagraph shall not have been discontinued or stayed within thirty (30) days.

m. Inability to Perform. An officer of Seller or Guarantor shall admit in writing or in any legal proceeding its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of Seller’s Obligations or Guarantor’s Obligations hereunder or under the Guaranty.

n. Security Interest. This Agreement shall for any reason cease to create a valid, first priority security interest in any material portion of the Purchased Assets or other Repurchase Assets purported to be covered hereby and Seller fails to repurchase such Purchased Assets and other Repurchase Assets within one (1) Business Day.

o. Financial Statements. Seller’s or Guarantor’s audited annual financial statements or the notes thereto or other opinions or conclusions stated therein shall be qualified or limited by reference to the status of Seller or Guarantor as a “going concern” or a reference of similar import.

p. REIT Qualification. RAIT Financial Trust shall fail to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust under Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or fails to be entitled to claim dividend paid deductions pursuant to Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

An Event of Default shall be deemed to be continuing unless expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

16. Remedies Upon Default

In the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

a. Buyer may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller or Guarantor), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency of Seller or Guarantor) give notice to Seller and Guarantor of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

b. If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section, (i) Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Assets, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Section, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by Buyer and applied, in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion, to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions and any other amounts owing by Seller hereunder in accordance with Section 7(f) hereof, and (iii) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer the Asset Files relating to any Purchased Assets subject to such Transactions then in Seller’s possession or control.

c. Buyer also shall have the right to obtain physical possession, and to commence an action to obtain physical possession, of all Records and files of Seller relating to the Purchased Assets and all documents relating to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, any legal, credit or servicing files with respect to the Purchased Assets) which are then or may thereafter come in to the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller. To obtain physical possession of any Purchased Assets held by Custodian, Buyer shall present to Custodian a Trust Receipt. Without limiting the rights of Buyer hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to Buyer for Seller’s or Guarantor’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, Seller and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform obligations hereunder would be inadequate and Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The availability of these remedies shall not prohibit Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach, including the recovery of monetary damages.

d. Buyer shall have the right to direct all servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets to remit all collections thereon to Buyer, and if any such payments are received by Seller, Seller shall not commingle the amounts received with other funds of Seller and shall promptly pay them over to Buyer. Buyer shall also have the right to terminate any one or all of the servicers then servicing any Purchased Assets with or without cause. In addition, Buyer shall have the right to immediately sell the Purchased Assets and liquidate all Repurchase Assets. Such disposition of Purchased Assets may be, at Buyer’s option, on either a servicing-released or a servicing-retained basis. Buyer shall not be required to give any warranties as to the Purchased Assets with respect to any such disposition thereof. Buyer may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like relating to the Purchased Assets. The foregoing procedure for disposition of the Purchased Assets and liquidation of the Repurchase Assets shall not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale thereof. Seller agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for Buyer to dispose of the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase Assets or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets similar to the Purchased Assets or the Repurchase Assets, or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Buyer shall be entitled to place the Purchased Assets in a pool for issuance of mortgage-backed securities at the then-prevailing price for such securities and to sell such securities for such prevailing price in the open market. Buyer shall also be entitled to sell any or all of such Purchased Assets individually for the prevailing price. Buyer shall also be entitled, in its sole good faith discretion to elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give the Seller credit for such Purchased Assets and the Repurchase Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder.

e. Upon the happening of one or more Events of Default, Buyer may apply any proceeds from the liquidation of the Purchased Assets and Repurchase Assets to the Repurchase Prices hereunder and all other Obligations in the manner Buyer deems appropriate in its sole good faith discretion.

f. Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing a Transaction, whether in action, suit or litigation or bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally, further including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (including the costs of internal counsel of Buyer) incurred in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.

g. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller under this Section 16(g) shall be calculated from and after such Event of Default at a rate equal to the Post Default Rate.

h. Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

i. Buyer may exercise one or more of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a) and (d) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice to Seller. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from time to time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

j. Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense (other than a defense of payment or performance) Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any portion of the Repurchase 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.

k. Buyer shall have the right to perform reasonable due diligence with respect to Seller and the Purchased Assets, which review shall be at the expense of Seller.

l. The Seller recognizes the Buyer may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Buyer than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

m. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Agreement, in no event shall Purchased Assets remain in the custody of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller.

17. Reports

a. Notices. Seller or Guarantor shall furnish to Buyer (x) promptly, copies of any material and adverse notices (including, without limitation, notices of defaults, breaches, potential defaults or potential breaches) and any material financial information that is not otherwise required to be provided by Seller hereunder which is given to Seller’s lenders, (y) immediately, notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or default or breach by Seller or Servicer or Guarantor of any obligation under any Program Agreement or any material contract or agreement of Seller or Servicer or Guarantor or the occurrence of any event or circumstance that such party reasonably expects has resulted in, or will, with the passage of time, result in, a Material Adverse Effect or an Event of Default or such a default or breach by such party and (z) the following:

18. Repurchase Transactions

Buyer may, in its sole election, engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledge, hypothecate, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets with a counterparty of Buyer’s choice. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Assets to Seller pursuant to Section 4 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 7 hereof. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction.

19. Single Agreement

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

20. Notices and Other Communications

Any and all notices (with the exception of Margin Calls, which shall be given in accordance with Section 6 and Transaction Request and Confirmations, which shall be delivered via electronic mail or other electronic medium agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller), statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, messenger or otherwise (including without limitation by electronic transmission) to the address specified below, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other.

21. Entire Agreement; Severability

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

22. Non assignability

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under the Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the Transaction shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their successors hereunder, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement. Buyer may from time to time, at its sole cost and expense, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Program Agreements to any Person other than a Competitor; provided that no such restriction shall apply if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that Buyer shall act as agent for all assignees and point of contact for Seller pursuant to agency provisions to be agreed upon by Buyer, its intended assignees and Seller. Seller shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record Buyer’s rights hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Buyer (including all assignees, successors and participants) and the percentage or portion of such rights and obligations assigned. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Seller’s obligations in respect of such rights. If Buyer sells a participation in its rights hereunder, it shall provide Seller, or maintain as agent of Seller, the information described in this paragraph and permit Seller to review such information as reasonably needed for Seller to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any applicable Requirement of Law.

The Buyer may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, (i) Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Agreements except as provided in Section 11(e).

The Buyer may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 22, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Seller or to any aspect of the Transactions that has been furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to hold such information subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

23. Set-off

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller or Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller or Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount from Seller, any Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or the Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller and the Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

24. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Jurisdiction

a. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Seller acknowledges that the obligations of Buyer hereunder or otherwise are not the subject of any guaranty by, or recourse to, any direct or indirect parent or other Affiliate of Buyer. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

b. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF SELLER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE TO, EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PROGRAM AGREEMENTS.

25. No Waivers, Etc.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 6(a), 16(a) or otherwise, will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

26. Intent

a. The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, and that the pledge of the Repurchase Assets constitutes “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the 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. Seller and Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a).

b. Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased 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 16 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Code Section 741(5).

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

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

e. This Agreement is intended to be a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

f. Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

27. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

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

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

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

28. Power of Attorney

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Repurchase Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and continue its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing, and sign assignments on behalf of Seller as its agent and attorney-in-fact and (ii) to pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Repurchase Assets. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the power of attorney hereby granted may be exercised only during the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default hereunder.

SCHEDULE 1(a)
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING OF COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Commercial Mortgage Loan, that as of the Purchase Date and as of each date while the Program Agreements and the related Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect, except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions, the following are true and correct in all material respects. With respect to those representations and warranties which are made to the knowledge of Seller or to the best of Seller’s knowledge or if there is any limitation as to the scope of any representation by a knowledge qualifier, if it is discovered by Seller or Buyer that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate, notwithstanding the lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.

(a) The Commercial Mortgage Loan is a performing mortgage loan, and is secured by a first priority security interest in the Mortgaged Property.

(b) Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgaged Property that is a commercial (including retail, office or industrial) and/or multifamily property that is an Income Producing Property.

(c) Such Commercial Mortgage Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(d) Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, such Commercial Mortgage Loan, and Seller is transferring such Commercial Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Commercial Mortgage Loan, and no Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any assignment, participation, or pledge except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions. Upon consummation of the transfers to the Buyer that are contemplated to occur in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan on the Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to the Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Commercial Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest.

(e) To Seller’s knowledge, no fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with the Seller’s acquisition or origination of such Commercial Mortgage Loan nor, to Seller’s knowledge, were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Commercial Mortgage Loan nor, to Seller’s knowledge, were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person after the date of origination with respect to any Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(f) To Seller’s knowledge, the information pertaining to each Commercial Mortgage Loan contained in each of the Complete Submission and Schedule of Exceptions is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and contains all information required by this Agreement to be contained therein.

(g) Except as expressly set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and, to Seller’s knowledge, there is no document that by its terms modifies or affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Commercial Mortgage Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and, to Seller’s knowledge, no such change or waiver exists.

(h) Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully and properly disbursed and there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Commercial Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller or originator to merit such holdback).

(i) Seller has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Commercial Mortgage Loan and such Commercial Mortgage Loan and any related Mortgage Note has not been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or rescission thereof.

(j) Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Mortgage and/or Mortgage Note, to Seller’s knowledge, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with (i) Seller’s sale, and Buyer’s acquisition of, such Commercial Mortgage Loan, (ii) Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan or (iii) Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Commercial Mortgage Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind with respect to the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

(k) To Seller’s knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority (other than those that have been obtained or made) is required for any transfer, pledge, or assignment by the holder of such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(l) Seller does not have notice or knowledge of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind related to such Commercial Mortgage Loan, for which the holder of such Commercial Mortgage Loan is or may become obligated, or with respect to which such Commercial Mortgage Loan is or may become subject.

(m) To Seller’s knowledge, each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage) and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor in connection with such Commercial Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one action or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under any applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole and such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage contain no provision limiting the right or ability of Seller to assign, transfer and convey the related Commercial Mortgage Loan to any other Person. With respect to any Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

(n) To Seller’s knowledge, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith.

(o) Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original Mortgage Note(s) made in respect of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, together with an original endorsement thereof executed by Seller in blank and the related Asset File.

(p) Each related Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller in blank constitutes the legal, valid and binding first priority assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of the Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor.

(q) Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and, to Seller’s knowledge, each such Mortgage with respect to a Commercial Mortgage Loan is a valid and enforceable first priority lien on the related Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (m) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (i) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, to Seller’s knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (iii) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (u) below or appearing of record, none of which, to Seller’s knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (iv) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, to Seller’s knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (v) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property, and (vi) if such Commercial Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Commercial Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such Commercial Mortgage Loan, none of which, to Seller’s knowledge, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property. Except with respect to cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Commercial Mortgage Loans that are sold to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and disclosed to Buyer in writing on the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the applicable Transaction Request and Confirmation, and as provided below, there are no mortgage loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(r) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in all public places to the extent necessary, to Seller’s knowledge, to perfect a valid first priority security interest in all items of personal property located on the Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related Commercial Mortgage Loan) material to the value of the Mortgaged Property (other than any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Commercial Mortgage Loan 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, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Commercial Mortgage Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on such items of personalty except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation is made as to perfection of security interests in personal property to the extent action, possession or control beyond the filing of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(s) All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof, which would be a lien on the Mortgaged Property and that have become delinquent in respect of the Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, has been established in connection with the Mortgage Loan. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (i) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (ii) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(t) (i) An engineering report or property condition assessment and (ii) an appraisal (each such appraisal, a “Qualified Appraisal”) of the related Mortgaged Property signed by a qualified appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation was and is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and such appraisal and appraiser both satisfied either (A) the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or (B) the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act or 1989, in either case as in effect on the date such Commercial Mortgage Loan was originated, were prepared in connection with the origination of each Commercial Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the origination date of such Commercial Mortgage Loan. To Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which adequate escrows were established at origination) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Commercial Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(u) The lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such Commercial Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding, irrevocable and unconditional commitment therefor), or with respect to any Commercial Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding, irrevocable and unconditional commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Commercial Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Commercial Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures 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 Title Exceptions; the mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such Title Policy; such Title Policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and will inure to the benefit of the mortgagee of record; such Title Policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such Title Policy and, to Seller’s knowledge, no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such Title Policy. The insurer issuing such Title Policy is (x) a nationally recognized title insurance company and (y) to Seller’s knowledge, qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such Title Policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (i) access to a public road or (ii) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

(v) 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 Mortgage and meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements, furniture, fixtures, furnishings and equipment owned by Mortgagor and located on such Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount (subject to the customary deductible and except where an applicable tenant lease does not permit the tenant to abate rent under any circumstances) at least equal to 12 months of operations of the related Mortgaged Property, all of which was in full force and effect with respect to the related Mortgaged Property; and, to Seller’s knowledge, all insurance coverage required under the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, which insurance covers such risks and is in such amounts as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located, is in full force and effect with respect to the related Mortgaged Property; to Seller’s knowledge, all premiums due and payable are current and have been paid (or have been financed or are being paid currently in installments); and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller; and except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Commercial Mortgage Loan and which are set forth in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss or condemnation awards, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses (and, with respect to all insurance proceeds, all property losses in excess of 5% (or such other fixed percentage as shall be expressly indicated in the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents for the related Mortgaged Property) of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Commercial Mortgage Loan, the mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50 year period. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements. If the Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” insurance 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 the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property, or (iii) such other amounts (expressly indicated in the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents) as shall not be less than limits which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a Commercial Mortgage Loan in the amount of the Commercial Mortgage Loan and secured by property similar to the Mortgaged Property.

The insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the mortgagee of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property insurance policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance policy and provide that they are not terminable without 30 days prior written notice to such mortgagee (or, with respect to non-payment, 10 days prior written notice to such mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by applicable law. Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor maintain insurance as described above or permits the mortgagee of the Commercial Mortgage Loan to require insurance as substantially described above, and permits such mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense if Mortgagor fails to do so.

(w) (i) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note or the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no event has occurred (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, and (ii) Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage or Mortgage Note or the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, which in the case of either (i) or (ii), materially and adversely affects the value of the Commercial Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property. Pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and other documents in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents no Person or party other than the holder or Servicer of such Mortgage Note may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under such Mortgage, Mortgage Note or Commercial Mortgage Loan documents.

(x) The Commercial Mortgage Loan is not past due in respect of any scheduled payment or part thereof and such Commercial Mortgage Loan has not, since origination, been 30 days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment or part thereof, and the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for any grace period in excess of 10 calendar days with respect to delinquent scheduled payments.

(y) No related Mortgage provides for or permits, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in such Mortgage.

(z) The Commercial Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, either: (A) such Commercial Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) having a fair market value (1) at the date the Commercial Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Commercial Mortgage Loan on such date or (2) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Commercial Mortgage Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (x) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Commercial Mortgage Loan and (y) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Commercial Mortgage Loan; or (B) substantially all of the proceeds of such Commercial Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Commercial Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Commercial Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was so modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Commercial Mortgage Loan or (y) meets the requirements described in sub-clause (A)(1) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Commercial Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (A)(2) above. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Commercial Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(aa) Except as set forth on the Phase I Environmental Report with respect to the Mortgaged Property delivered to Buyer, (i) to Seller’s knowledge, there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property; (ii) Seller has no knowledge of any material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (iii) neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; (iv) the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply with all Environmental Laws; and (v) each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and/or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Commercial Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “Environmental Site Assessment”) meeting the American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Commercial Mortgage Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous Environmental Site Assessment was prepared), and, to Seller’s knowledge, such Environmental Site Assessment (i) did not identify the existence of recognized Environmental Conditions at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such Environmental Site Assessment, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) 100% or more of the funds 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 mortgagee; (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, the only recommended action in the Environmental Site Assessment is the institution of an operations or maintenance plan, and such a plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that, based on the Environmental Site Assessment, 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 Purchase Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue 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) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance 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 knowledge, except as set forth in the Environmental Site Assessment, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

(bb) To Seller’s knowledge, each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgage loan documents encumbering comparable mortgaged properties similarly situated such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(cc) To Seller’s knowledge, neither the Mortgaged Property nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

(dd) Such Commercial Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization. Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, Seller does not hold an equity interest in the direct or any indirect owner in such related Mortgagor.

(ee) Subject to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents contain provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Commercial Mortgage Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (i) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling equity interest (as such term is defined in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents) in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold (other than by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower and transfers of less than a controlling equity interest (as such term is defined in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents) in a Mortgagor, issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers to certain affiliates, a specific Person, or a Person satisfying specific criteria, as expressly permitted in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, transfers in connection with any mezzanine debt that existed at origination of the related Commercial Mortgage Loan or is permitted under the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or affiliates thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Commercial Mortgage Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other mortgage loans or multi-property Commercial Mortgage Loans or transfers of a nature similar to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Commercial Mortgage Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (hh) below), or (ii) the related Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interest (as such term is defined in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents) in the Mortgagor is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property. The Commercial Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval.

(ff) Except as set forth in the related Complete Submission and Schedule of Exceptions, the terms of the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the Complete Submission and Schedule of Exceptions for such Commercial Mortgage Loan were delivered to Buyer or its designee.

(gg) Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected (i) by or on behalf of the related originator during the 12 month period prior to the related origination date or (ii) if Seller or an Affiliate did not originate the Commercial Mortgage Loan, by or on behalf of Seller or an Affiliate on or after the date that is 6 months prior to the date that Seller acquired the Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(hh) The terms of the related Mortgage or related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance, of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a defeasance, (d) releases of out parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Commercial Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or taking by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Commercial Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G 2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Commercial Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for all Commercial Mortgage Loans originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (e), for all Commercial Mortgage Loans originated after December 6, 2010, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan.

No Commercial Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross collateralized with another Commercial Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

(ii) To Seller’s knowledge, there are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes or land laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property or the use and occupancy thereof which (i) are not insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding, irrevocable and unconditional commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) as determined by Seller at the time of origination and based upon reasonable underwriting guidelines utilized by Seller in the ordinary course of business, would have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property. The Commercial Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgaged Property to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances in all material respects.

(jj) To Seller’s knowledge, none of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Commercial Mortgage Loan lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property (except any encroachments to such boundaries and building restriction lines which constitute legal non-conformities), to an extent which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not have any material adverse effect on the Mortgagor, the Commercial Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, to the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that do not have any material adverse effect on the Mortgagor, the Commercial Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, to the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

(kk) The related Mortgagor has covenanted in its organizational documents and/or the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Commercial Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s), that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(ll) No advance of funds has been made other than pursuant to the loan documents, directly or indirectly, by the mortgagee, Seller, the Servicer or any prior servicer to the Mortgagor and to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any Person other than the Mortgagor or its property manager, for or on account of payments due on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage (other than amounts paid by the tenant into a lender-controlled lockbox as specifically required under a related lease).

(mm) To Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation of which mortgagee, Seller, the Servicer or, to Seller’s knowledge, any prior Servicer, has received written notice or other written evidence, against the Mortgagor, any guarantor or other party liable for all or a part of the obligations under the Commercial Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (i) such Mortgagor’s title to the related Mortgaged Property, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (v) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (vi) the security intended to be provided by the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (vii) the current use of the related Mortgaged Property, (viii) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, or (ix) the validity or enforceability of the related Mortgage.

(nn) If the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and is currently serving under and is named in such Mortgage or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law.

(oo) To Seller’s knowledge, the Commercial Mortgage Loan and the interest (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, or prepayment premiums) contracted for complies with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(pp) Each Commercial Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized is cross-collateralized only with other Commercial Mortgage Loans that (i) have been disclosed in writing to Buyer on the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the applicable Transaction Request and Confirmation, and (ii) are subject to Transactions under this Agreement as of the Purchase Date and at all times.

(qq) The improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain or the mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount no less than the lesser of (i) the original principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, (ii) the value of such improvements on the related Mortgaged Property located in such flood hazard area or (iii) the maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program.

(rr) All escrows required (if any) pursuant to the Commercial Mortgage Loan required to be currently deposited with the Servicer or any prior Servicer, or by any Mortgagor or by any prior Mortgagor, in accordance with the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control of Seller or Servicer or its agent, and to Seller’s knowledge there are no deficiencies in connection therewith.

(ss) To Seller’s knowledge, the related Mortgagor, the related lessees, trustee, franchisor or operators are in possession of all material licenses, permits and authorizations then required for the use permitted by the Mortgage Loan documents of the related Mortgaged Property by the related Mortgagor, related lessee, trustee, franchisor, and/or operator. The Commercial Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to maintain or cause to be maintained all such licenses, permits, certificates of occupancy, and authorizations. To Seller’s knowledge, all such material licenses, permits, certificates of occupancy, and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Commercial Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

(tt) The origination, servicing and collection practices used by Seller (and the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Commercial Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, such Commercial Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(uu) Except for Mortgagors under Commercial Mortgage Loans the Mortgaged Property with respect to which includes a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Mortgaged Property.

(vv) The Commercial Mortgage Loan documents for each Commercial Mortgage Loan provide (or have substantially similar language providing) that such Commercial Mortgage Loan (i) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities, distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (A) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Mortgagor; (B) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor; (C) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents; (D) any transfer in violation of transfer restrictions set forth in the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents; or (E) after an event of default under the underlying Mortgage Loan (after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure periods, if any) that results in lender accelerating the indebtedness, and after exercising remedies against the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor or any guarantor intentionally interferes for the sake of delay with lender’s exercise of remedies under the related Mortgage, except for such interference solely related to compulsory counterclaims or colorable defenses brought in good faith; and (ii) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Mortgagor’s: (A) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Commercial Mortgage Loan; (B) misappropriation of (x) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (y) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to mortgagee upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Commercial Mortgage Loan event of default); (C) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (D) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents; or (E) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

(ww) To Seller’s knowledge, subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in paragraph (m) and upon possession of the Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any Assignment of Leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with such Commercial Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable lien and security interest in the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements with Mortgagor pursuant to which any Person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property.

(xx) If such Commercial Mortgage Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Commercial Mortgage Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two years after the date of origination of such Commercial Mortgage Loan and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note through the related maturity date (or first day of the open period). Such Commercial Mortgage Loan was not originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if such Mortgage contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses (subject in certain cases to a cap on such expenses) associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Commercial Mortgage Loan through the related maturity date (or first day of the open period), (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance complies with all applicable REMIC Provisions, and (c) assurances from each applicable rating agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Commercial Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents may not affirmatively contain all such requirements, but such requirements are effectively present in such documents due to the general obligation to comply with the REMIC Provisions and/or deliver a REMIC opinion of counsel.

(yy) To Seller’s knowledge, the originator of such Commercial Mortgage Loan was authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located at all times when it originated and held the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to originate, acquire and/or hold (as applicable) the Mortgage Note in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(zz) Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(aaa) The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered, without the prior written consent of the holder of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, by any lien other than the lien of such Commercial Mortgage Loan, Title Exceptions and mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein.

(bbb) Each related Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established), or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy which insures against any loss resulting therefrom.

(ccc) The related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to provide the mortgagee with certain financial information at regular intervals specified under the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, which in all cases shall include at least the following: (i) annual operating statements; (ii) annual financial statements; and (iii) annual rent rolls.

(ddd) Each Mortgaged Property (i) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, and (ii) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water (or well) and sewer (or septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property.

(eee) Each Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens that are prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage, and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such lien that would be prior or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage except, in each case, for liens which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the Title Policy referred to herein.

(fff) The Mortgaged Property is a real property type that is an Office Building, a Retail property, a Multi-Family property, or an Industrial Property.

(ggg) With respect to any Commercial Mortgage Loan where the Commercial Mortgage Loan 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, to Seller’s knowledge:

(i) The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage (or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date) and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease has occurred since the origination of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Asset File.

(ii) The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Asset File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and any such action without such consent is not binding on the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, its successors or assigns, except termination or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice thereof is provided to the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan and (iii) such default is curable by the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period.

(iii) Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease; provided, however, that this representation does not cover any default expressly disclosed as such in the Schedule of Exceptions.

(iv) The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan unless a copy has been given to the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan in a manner described in the Ground Lease or ancillary agreement.

(v) The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the ground lessor’s fee interest and the Title Exceptions or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee of the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject.

(vi) The holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease after the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

(vii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan if the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than forty (40) years beyond the loan closing date of such Commercial Mortgage Loan.

(viii) Under the terms of such Ground Lease and/or in any writing included in the related Asset File, including any estoppel or consent letter received by the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest (other than a de minimis amount for minor casualties in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Commercial Mortgage Loan).

(ix) Provided that the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

(x) The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (provided that proper notice is delivered to the extent required in accordance with such Ground Lease), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of (but with prior notice to) the lessor.

(xi) There are no commercially unreasonable restrictions on the subletting of such Mortgaged Property in such Ground Lease.

(xii) In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of such Ground Lease and/or in any writing included in the related Asset File, including any estoppel or consent letter received by the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest (other than a de minimis amount for minor casualties in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) in respect of a total or substantially total taking or loss to the extent not applied to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the holder of the Commercial Mortgage Loan or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, will be applied first to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Commercial Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Commercial Mortgage Loan).

(hhh) The Mortgagor under such Commercial Mortgage Loan is not an Affiliate of Seller.

(iii) Except as disclosed in the Summary Diligence Materials delivered to the Buyer and previous intercompany transfers, no Commercial Mortgage Loan has been acquired by an Affiliate of Seller other than a direct parent of Seller.

(jjj) The Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except as disclosed in writing to Buyer, no Commercial Mortgage Loan has a Mortgagor that is an affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Commercial Mortgage Loan that is also a Purchased Asset.

(kkk) Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Commercial Mortgage Loans.

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

(mmm) To Seller’s knowledge, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Commercial Mortgage Loan, the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Commercial Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than 200% of the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Asset File (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(nnn) Pursuant to the terms of the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, Seller satisfied any transfer conditions or requirements (or such conditions or requirements were validly waived by any requisite parties) in the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the pledge of the Commercial Mortgage Loan to the Buyer and the transfer of the Commercial Mortgage Loan to Buyer.

(ooo) Except as set forth on the Schedule of Exceptions, all post-closing obligations due under the Commercial Mortgage Loan have been satisfied.

(ppp) If the related Commercial Mortgage Loan is floating rate, then Seller has obtained an interest rate protection agreement in the form of a cap with respect to the related Commercial Mortgage Loan, in form and substance acceptable to Buyer.

(qqq) [reserved]

(rrr) To Seller’s knowledge, at all times throughout the term of the Purchased Asset, including after giving effect to any transfers permitted pursuant to the related Commercial Mortgage Loan documents, (a) none of the funds or other assets of any Mortgagor, guarantor or other indemnitor shall constitute property of, or shall be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Person subject to trade restrictions under United States law, including, but not limited to, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated under any such United States laws (each, an “Embargoed Person”), with the result that the Purchased Asset made by the related originator is or would be in violation of law, (b) no Embargoed Person shall have any interest of any nature whatsoever in any Mortgagor, guarantor or other indemnitor, with the result that the Purchased Asset is or would be in violation of law, and (c) none of the funds of any Mortgagor or guarantor or other indemnitor shall be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the Purchased Asset is or would be in violation of law. No Mortgagor, guarantor or other indemnitor is (or will be) a Person with whom Seller is restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (“OFAC”) (including those persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 #13224 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and no such Mortgagor, guarantor or other indemnitor is or shall knowingly engage in any dealings or transactions with such Persons.

(sss) The Asset File delivered by Seller with respect to such Commercial Mortgage Loan (i) represents a true and correct copy of the documents contained therein and each Purchased Asset Schedule, together with all other information contained therein prepared by Seller or its respective Affiliates and delivered by Seller to Buyer immediately prior to the Purchase Date, (ii) is true and correct, (iii) conforms in all material respects to the Summary Diligence Materials previously provided to Buyer and pursuant to which Buyer has elected to enter into the Transaction, and (iv) constitutes all material loan documents evidencing and/or securing the Commercial Mortgage Loan and the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents have not been materially amended or modified except as set forth in the Commercial Mortgage Loan documents contained in the Asset File delivered by Seller.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, the Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has pledged to Buyer certain assets which are serviced by Servicer which are subject to a security interest in favor of Buyer.

Section 1. Servicing Rights and Grant of Security Interest. (a) Servicer hereby agrees that in order to further secure the Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement, Servicer hereby grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a fully perfected first priority security interest in all of its Servicing Rights related to the Purchased Assets and all proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created.

(b) The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Agreement and Transactions thereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Buyer shall have all rights and remedies hereunder with respect to Servicing Rights relating to the Purchased Assets as are set forth in the Repurchase Agreement.

(d) In addition, subject to the Servicing Agreement, Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Buyer has purchased the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and Buyer shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the Servicing Rights as it has with respect to the Repurchase Assets under the Repurchase Agreement.

(e) Servicer agrees to execute, deliver and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary to fully perfect Buyer’s security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the Servicer hereby authorizes Buyer to file financing statements relating to the security interest set forth herein, as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate.

(f) Servicer waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement or security interest hereunder and notice or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Servicer Notice, Pledge and Redirection Letter. Servicer hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or Servicer with respect the Obligations.

Section 2. Act as Servicer. Seller hereby notifies and instructs the Servicer that upon receipt of a Notice of Servicer Termination Event (as defined below) the Servicer is hereby authorized and instructed to remit any and all amounts which would be otherwise payable to Seller with respect to the purchased asset subject to the Repurchase Agreement as identified by Buyer in connection with the Notice of Servicer Termination Event on the schedule attached hereto (the “Purchased Asset”) to Buyer in accordance with the following applicable wire instructions:

Following such Notice of Servicer Termination Event, Servicer shall follow the instructions of Buyer exclusively notwithstanding any requirements for Seller instructions or Seller consent set forth in the Servicing Agreement, and shall deliver to Buyer any information with respect to the Purchased Assets reasonably requested by Buyer.

Notwithstanding any contrary information which may be delivered to the Servicer by Seller, the Servicer may conclusively rely on any information or Notice of Servicer Termination Event delivered by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify and hold the Servicer harmless for any and all claims asserted against it for any actions taken in good faith by the Servicer in connection with the delivery of such information or Notice of Servicer Termination Event.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Servicer Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to immediately terminate the Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

Section 4. Entire Agreement; Severability. This Servicer Notice, Pledge and Redirection Letter shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

Section 5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. (a) THIS SERVICER NOTICE, PLEDGE AND REDIRECTION LETTER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
