Item 33. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On December 19, 2012, concurrently with the consummation of a strategic transaction with affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”), we completed a private placement in which we sold 500,000 shares of our class A common stock (after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split that we effected on May 6, 2013) to Blackstone Holdings III L.P., an affiliate of Blackstone, at a price of $20.00 per share (after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split that we effected on May 6, 2013) for aggregate proceeds of $10.0 million. We did not pay any underwriting discounts or commissions in connection with this private placement. In conducting this private placement, we relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D, as promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 34. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty which is established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains such a provision which eliminates directors’ and officers’ liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Our charter authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to obligate us to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer of the company and at the request of the company, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, from and against any claim or liability to which that individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her service in such capacity and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum

II-1

extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify any present or former director or officer or any individual who, while a director or officer of the company and at the request of the company, serves or has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity from and against any claim or liability to which that individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason of his or her service in such capacity and to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The charter and bylaws also permit the company to indemnify and advance expenses to any individual who served a predecessor of the company in any of the capacities described above and any employee or agent of the company or a predecessor of the company.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the company’s charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of (i) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (ii) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

We have entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of our directors and officers (each, an “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreements provide that we will, subject to certain limitations and exceptions, indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law, and advance expenses to, each Indemnitee, in connection with (among other things) the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the company. This obligation includes, subject to certain terms and conditions, indemnification for any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding. In certain instances, we may be required to advance such expenses, in which case the Indemnitee will be obligated to reimburse us for the amounts advanced if it is later determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses. The indemnification provided under the Indemnification Agreements is not exclusive of any other indemnity rights.

Item 37. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-8

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance under Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-9

(a) The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement (file number 333-187541) on Form S-11, including a related preliminary prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Securities.

7

adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro forma adjustments reflect in all material respects the proper application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

(t) No action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their property is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any subsidiary that (i) could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto).

(u) The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property owned by any of them and good and marketable title to all other properties owned by any of them, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except such as (a) are set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus or (b) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; all real property, buildings and other improvements, and all equipment and other property held under lease or sublease by the Company or any of its subsidiaries is held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases or subleases, as the case may be, except such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases and subleases are in full force and effect in all material respects; and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any notice of any claim of any sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the continued

8

possession of the leased or subleased premises under any such lease or sublease except for such claims which, if successfully asserted against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title to the portfolio of commercial real estate loans described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, except for those commercial real estate loans that have nominally been transferred to a lender/buyer counterparty pursuant to a master repurchase agreement, in respect of which the Company has a binding and enforceable right to repurchase such loans from such lender/buyer counterparty, subject to and in accordance with the terms of that repurchase agreement.

The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Final Prospectus is required to be delivered (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be required to be delivered) under the Act in connection with sales of the Securities (whether to meet the request of purchases pursuant to Rule 173(d) or otherwise), such number of copies of the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request.

(e) The Company will comply with the Act and the Exchange Act so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be required to be delivered) by the applicable law to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(i)(a), such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request. If at any time an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement or if an event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the Company, to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus so that it will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading, or if it is necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, to amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission or to comply with such requirements, the Company will, subject to Section 3(i)(a), promptly notify the Representatives and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

21

(g) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified, to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so subject or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(h) The Company agrees that, unless it has obtained or will obtain the prior written consent of the Representatives, and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has or shall have obtained, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule III hereto and any electronic road show. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(i) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of each of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of, (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock or shares of any class of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, any of

22

the foregoing; or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, until 180 days after the date of the Final Prospectus, provided, however, that the Company may without the prior written consent of the Representatives (A) issue and sell the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) issue and sell shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase shares of Common Stock) pursuant to its equity incentive plans described in the Disclosure Package (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and 2013 Manager Incentive Plan) and file a registration statement or registration statements (or any amendment or supplement thereto) on Form S-8 (or any successor form) in connection with any of the foregoing, (C) issue shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and (D) issue shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with mergers or acquisitions, joint ventures, commercial relationships or strategic transactions, provided that (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable does not exceed 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the offering of the Securities and (y) the acquiree of any such Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to this clause (D) enters into an agreement in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) during the last 17 days of the 180-day restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (y) prior to the expiration of the restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, the restrictions imposed in this clause shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. The Company will provide the Representatives and each individual or entity subject to the restricted period pursuant to the lockup letters described in Section 6(o) with prior notice of any such announcement that gives rise to an extension of the restricted period.

(j) The Company, during the period when the Final Prospectus is required to be delivered (or, but for the exception afforded by Rule 172, would be required to be delivered) under the Act, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act.

(k) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

23

and all amendments or supplements to any of them, as may, in each case, be reasonably requested for use in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities; (iii) the preparation, printing, authentication, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Securities, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Securities; (iv) the printing (or reproduction) and delivery of this Agreement, any blue sky memorandum and all other agreements or documents printed (or reproduced) and delivered in connection with the offering of the Securities; (v) the registration of the Securities under the Act and the Exchange Act and the listing of the Securities on the NYSE; (vi) any registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such registration and qualification); (vii) any filings required to be made with the FINRA including filing fees (and including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings up to a maximum amount of $75,000); (viii) the transportation and other reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of Company representatives in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Securities, provided that 50% of the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show shall be paid by the Underwriters (with the Company paying the remaining 50% of the cost); (ix) the fees and expenses of the Company’s and Blackstone’s accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and special counsel) for the Company and Blackstone; and (x) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

(ii) The Manager agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a) The Manager will not take, directly or indirectly, any actions designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

(b) During the period when a prospectus is required (or but for the exception afforded by Rule 172 would be required) to be delivered under the Act or the Exchange Act, it shall notify you and the Company of the occurrence of any material events regarding the Manager’s activities, affairs or condition, financial or otherwise, and the Manager will forthwith supply such information to the Company as shall be necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company and the Underwriters for the Company to prepare

24

any necessary amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus so that, as so amended or supplemented, the Final Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then prevailing, not misleading.

25

26

28

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, including the Rule 430A Information, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the following statements set forth in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus under the heading “Underwriting”: (i) the names of the Underwriters and their respective participation in the sale of the Securities, (ii) the third paragraph thereof related to selling concessions and dealer reallowances, (iii) the thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, information in bullet points) thereof related to stabilization, short positions and covering transactions and penalty bids and (iv) the fifteenth paragraph thereof related to online distribution of the Statutory Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Statutory Prospectus, any other Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing).

29

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by the previous sentence effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement unless such failure to reimburse the indemnified party is based on a dispute with a good faith basis as to either the obligation of the indemnifying party arising under this Section 8

30

to indemnify the indemnified party or the amount of such obligation and the indemnifying party shall have notified the indemnified party of such good faith dispute prior to the date of such settlement. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each

31

director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-187541)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have served as Maryland counsel to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain matters of Maryland law relating to the registration and issuance by the Company of shares (the “Shares”) of class A common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company having an aggregate gross public offering price of up to $1,250,000,000, in an underwritten public offering covered by the above-referenced Registration Statement, and all amendments and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement relating thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Documents”):

1. The Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein in the form in which it transmitted to the Commission under the Securities Act;

2. The charter of the Company (the “Charter”), certified by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”);

6. A certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof; and

7. Such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the following:

1. Each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.

2. Each individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party (other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so.

3. Each of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which such party is a signatory, and such party’s obligations set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms.

4. All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic.

All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete. All representations, warranties, statements and information contained in the Documents are true and complete.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the SDAT.

2. The issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the Resolutions, the Corporate Proceedings and the Registration Statement against payment of the consideration set forth therein, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Maryland and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. We express no opinion as to compliance with any federal or state securities laws, including the securities laws of the State of Maryland, or as to federal or state laws regarding fraudulent transfers. To the extent that any matter as to which our opinion is expressed herein would be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland, we do not express any opinion on such matter. The opinion expressed herein is subject to the effect of any judicial decision which may permit the introduction of parol evidence to modify the terms or the interpretation of agreements.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.

This opinion is being furnished to you for submission to the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of the name of our firm therein. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.

Exhibit 8.1

May 22, 2013

Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc.

345 Park Avenue, 42nd Floor

New York, New York 10154

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Blackstone Mortgage Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-187541) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance and sale by the Company of class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company.

We have examined the Registration Statement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 below, we have assumed the accuracy of the representations contained in the officer’s certificate, dated as of the date hereof, provided to us by the Company (the “Certificate”). These representations generally relate to the operation and classification of the Company as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). For purposes of rendering such opinion, we have also assumed that the Company has been organized and operated and will continue to be organized and operated in the manner described in the Certificate, the Registration Statement and the applicable organizational documents of the Company and that all terms and provisions of such documents have been and will continue to be complied with. We have not made an independent investigation of the facts set forth in the Certificate.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein and in the Registration Statement, we are of the opinion that:

1. Commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008, the Company has been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its actual and proposed method of operation, as described in the Registration Statement and as represented by the Company, has enabled it, and will continue to enable it, to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code.

2. The statements set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, constitute accurate summaries of the matters described therein in all material respects.

The opinion set forth in paragraph 1 above is based upon the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and other relevant authorities and law, all as in effect on the

2

date hereof. Consequently, future changes in the law may cause the tax treatment of the transactions referred to herein to be materially different from that described above. Our opinion is not binding upon either the Internal Revenue Service or any court. Thus, no assurances can be given that a position taken in reliance on our opinion will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service or rejected by a court. Qualification of the Company as a REIT will depend upon the Company’s satisfaction, through actual annual operating results and other annual requirements, of the various qualification tests contained in the Code and related Treasury regulations. We do not undertake to monitor whether the Company will, in fact, through actual annual operating results and other annual requirements, satisfy the various qualification tests for the taxable year ending December 31, 2013, or any subsequent taxable years. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of the Company’s operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy the tests necessary to qualify as or be taxed as a REIT under the Code.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the federal law of the United States.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP

For purposes of this Section 3(f), the “Transaction Conditions Precedent” shall be satisfied with respect to any proposed Transaction if:

(1) no Default, Event of Default or unpaid Margin Deficit shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction;

(2) Guarantor shall have delivered to Buyer a true and accurate Financial Covenant Compliance Certificate with respect to Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal quarter;

(3) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer an Officer’s Certificate of Seller certifying that the representations and warranties made by Seller in any of the Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction (except such representations which by their terms speak as of a specified date and subject to any exceptions disclosed to Buyer in an Exception Report prior to issuance of the Confirmation by Buyer);

(4) Buyer shall have (A) determined, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement that the New Loan proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in such Transaction is an Eligible Loan and (B) obtained internal credit approval for the inclusion of such New Loan as a Purchased Loan in a Transaction;

(5) the applicable Purchased Loan File described in Section 7(b) of this Agreement shall have been delivered to Custodian or Bailee, and Buyer shall have received a Trust Receipt from Custodian or Bailee with respect to such Purchased Loan File;

(6) Seller shall deliver concurrently with the Closing of the Transaction to each Mortgagor or Underlying Obligor or related servicer or lead lender under any Purchased Loan a direction letter in accordance with Section 5(a) of this Agreement unless such Mortgagor or obligor or related servicer or

-30-

lead lender is already remitting payments to the Servicer whereupon Seller shall direct the Servicer to remit all such amounts into the Blocked Account in accordance with Section 5(a) of this Agreement and to service such payments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(7) Seller shall have paid to Buyer (i) the Facility Fee applicable to all Purchased Loans subject to the applicable Transaction and (ii) any unpaid Diligence Fees and Transaction Costs in respect of such Purchased Loan (which amounts, at Seller’s option, may be held back from funds remitted to Seller by Buyer on the Purchase Date);

(8) such Purchased Loan shall not be a Delinquent Loan or a Defaulted Loan;

(9) the purchase of such Purchased Loan will not cause the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Loans to exceed the Facility Amount as of the Purchase Date therefor;

(10) unless waived in writing by Buyer, the purchase of such Purchased Loan will not cause any of the Concentration Limits to be exceeded;

(11) Buyer shall have received true and complete copies of fully executed originals of all Transfer Documents;

(12) Buyer shall have received a written description of the anticipated exit strategy for the New Loan, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include expected repurchase by Seller, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates; and

(g) Each Confirmation when signed by Seller and Buyer, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after the date such Confirmation is received by Seller. An objection sent by Seller with respect to any Confirmation

-31-

must state specifically that the writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such Confirmation being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes such provisions should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than two (2) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by Seller. Following any such written objection by Seller, Buyer, in its sole discretion, may issue another Confirmation addressing Seller’s objections or may elect not to proceed with the proposed Transaction. In the event that there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Confirmation, the terms of such Confirmation shall control.

(h) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction, or any part of a Transaction, on demand, and repurchase the related Purchased Loan, in whole or part, as applicable, on any Business Day, subject to a minimum repurchase amount for any Purchased Loan equal to the lesser of (x) $2,000,000 and (y) the outstanding Repurchase Price of such Loan, prior to the applicable Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such Early Repurchase Date;

(ii) Seller notifies Buyer in writing, no later than one (1) Business Days prior to the Early Repurchase Date, of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase the related Purchased Loan;

(iii) in connection with any termination of a part of Transaction and related repurchase of a Purchased Loan in part but not in whole, Seller has, in the 30-day period ending on the proposed Repurchase Date, exercised its right to repurchase in part but not in whole (including all Purchased Loans proposed to be subject to repurchase in part as of such proposed Early Repurchase Date) no more than, in aggregate, five (5) times and with respect to no more than, in the aggregate, five (5) Purchased Loans as of such proposed Repurchase date and

(iv) Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Early Repurchase Date an amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Price for such Transaction, all Costs and any other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3(l), 3(m), 3(n) and 3(o) of this Agreement, if any) with respect to such Transaction against transfer to Seller or its agent of the related Purchased Loan and Seller shall pay to Buyer the Exit Fee in connection with such repurchase; provided that no Exit Fee shall be payable if and to the extent that (1) such Purchased Loan is repaid only in part and not in whole, (2) such Purchased Loan is repaid in whole as a result of, and applying the principal proceeds received from, a voluntary prepayment or repayment at maturity by an Underlying Obligor; (3) such repurchase is being made in connection with the foreclosure or other exercise of remedies under the underlying Purchased Loan Documents; (4) such Purchased Loan is being subsequently or simultaneously repurchased by Buyer for its own balance sheet or for inclusion in a Buyer-led CMBS; (5) such repurchase is being made in connection with a sale by Seller of the Purchased Loan in connection with a discounted pay-off thereof, or (6) such repurchase is being made to cure a Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 4 in respect of a Purchased Loan with a Market Value of zero.

-32-

In connection with any termination of a part of a Transaction pursuant to this Section 3(h), Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction.

(i) On the Repurchase Date (or the Early Repurchase Date, as applicable), in connection with a termination or a repurchase in whole of the applicable Transactions, will be effected by transfer to Seller or, if requested by Seller, its designee of the related Purchased Loans, and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price, all Costs and any other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement (including without limitation, Sections 3(l), 3(m),
3(n) and 3(o) of this Agreement, if any) to an account of Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Transaction Document, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default, or an unsatisfied Margin Deficit, Seller shall not repurchase a Purchased Loan in connection with a full payoff of the underlying Mortgage Loan by the Underlying Obligor thereon, unless one-hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds due in connection with such payoff shall be paid directly to Buyer in lieu of the payment of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan. During the continuance of an Event of Default, a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default, the portion of all such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Loan shall be applied by Buyer, first to cure any such Default of Event of Default then existing or Margin Deficit then outstanding, and then to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer under this Agreement as Buyer determines in its discretion.

(j) Upon Buyer’s determination that, or Seller otherwise obtaining Knowledge that, any Purchased Loan no longer qualifies as an Eligible Loan (which determination shall not be based on any facts or conditions with respect to such Purchased Loan that were disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the consummation of the purchase thereof by Buyer, whether pursuant to an Exception Report or otherwise), or that any of the representations and warranties with respect to any Purchased Loan set forth in Section 10(a)(vi) or Section 10(a)(viii) (but specifically excluding the MTM Representations, which shall in no event cause an Early Repurchase and shall solely be used in connection with the determination of Market Value in accordance with this Agreement) are otherwise untrue or incorrect in any respect, Seller shall immediately, but no later than three Business Days after receiving notice that, or otherwise obtaining Knowledge that, such Purchased Loan no longer satisfies all of the requirements of an Eligible Loan or that any of the representations and warranties with respect to any Purchased Loan set forth in Section 10(a)(vi) or Section 10(a)(viii) (but specifically excluding the MTM Representations, which shall in no event cause an Early Repurchase and shall solely be used in connection with the determination of Market Value in accordance with this Agreement) are otherwise untrue or incorrect in any respect, repurchase such Purchased Loan pursuant to the requirements of this Section 3(j) and the date such repurchase of any such Purchased Loan is effected or required shall be the Repurchase Date for such Purchased Loan. On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Loan, Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such

-33-

Purchased Loan as of the Repurchase Date, and pay all amounts due to any Hedge Counterparty under the related Hedging Transaction and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall transfer to Seller such Purchased Loan, whereupon the Transaction with respect to such Purchased Loan shall terminate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Loan, shall authorize Custodian to release to Seller the Purchased Loan Documents for such Purchased Loan and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against Seller specifically identifies such Purchased Loan, Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Loan from Buyer’s security interest therein. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Loan, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by (i) Buyer’s actions or inactions and (ii) so long as Servicer is Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, the actions or inactions of Servicer. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Loan received by Buyer or Depository Bank after payment of the Repurchase Price therefor shall be remitted to Seller.

(k) Subject to the conditions in this Section 3(k), upon written notice by Seller delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the Initial Facility Termination Date, Seller may extend the Initial Facility Termination Date for a one year period (the “First Extension Option”). If the First Extension Option is validly exercised, then, subject to the conditions in this Section 3(k), upon written notice by Seller delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the Facility Termination Date as extended pursuant to the First Extension Option, Seller may extend the Facility Termination Date as so extended for an additional one year period (the “Second Extension Option”). Seller may only exercise an Extension Option if (A) as of the date Seller provides notice of its request to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date and as of the Facility Termination Date in effect prior to giving effect to the Extension Option (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Margin Deficit exists (other than any Margin Deficit that has been paid in full), and (B) Seller has paid the Extension Fee to Buyer on or before the then-current Facility Termination Date prior to giving effect to the requested Extension Option.

(l) If Buyer determines that for any reason, (i) U.S. Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market in the outstanding amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price for terms equal to one (1) month or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR, Buyer will promptly so notify Seller. Thereafter, the obligation of Buyer to provide LIBOR shall be suspended until Buyer revokes such notice. During the period of any such suspension, the Pricing Rate from day to day outstanding, which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the sum of (A) the higher of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) the Prime Rate, in each case, for that day plus (B) the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”).

(m) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date of this Agreement, if Buyer determines that for any reason, any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to make,

-34-

maintain or fund loans whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Buyer to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, U.S. Dollars in the London interbank eurodollar market, then, on notice thereof by Buyer to Seller, any obligation of Buyer to provide the LIBOR rate shall be suspended, until Buyer notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. During the period of any such suspension, the Pricing Rate from day to day outstanding which is not past due, shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Alternative Rate. Upon any conversion to the Alternative Rate, whether pursuant to Section 3(l) or 3(m), Seller shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to repurchase all or any portion of the Purchased Loans without the payment of any Exit Fee.

(n) Upon demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity or other consequential costs) (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that Buyer actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) a default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(g) of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of all or any portion of the Repurchase Price, as the case may be, on any day other than a Remittance Date (including, without limitation, any such actual out-of-pocket loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer for the incremental cost of reemploying funds or terminating deposits that arise solely as a result of Buyer’s depositing funds or employing funds at a rate calculated other than by reference to LIBOR) or (iii) Seller’s failure to sell Eligible Loans to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has given a Final Approval to purchase such Eligible Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

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

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes (with Other Taxes applying for these purposes without the proviso thereof), (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or

-35-

(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition (other than Taxes) due to this Agreement or the Transactions;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, and provided that Buyer imposes such additional costs generally on all of its similarly situated customers, Seller shall pay Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor is received by Seller, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost payable or reduced amount receivable. If Buyer becomes aware that it is entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(n), it shall notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(n) shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error.

(p) If Buyer shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Buyer or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding such requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, and provided that Buyer imposes such additional costs generally on all of its similarly situated customers, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error.

(q) If any of the events described in Section 3(l), Section 3(m), Section 3(o) or Section 3(p) result in Buyer’s election to use the Alternative Rate or Buyer’s request for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Loans no later than two (2) Business Days after such notice is given to Buyer, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(h) but without the payment of any Exit Fee or other cost, fee or penalty in connection therewith. The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 3(q) shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Buyer prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Loans.

(r) From and after the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall have no further obligation to purchase any New Loans. On the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase all of the Purchased Loans and transfer payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Loan, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and all

-36-

Costs and other amounts due and payable to Buyer hereunder. Following the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Loans to Seller until payment in full to Buyer of all amounts due hereunder.

(s) At any time prior to the Facility Termination Date, in the event that either (x) Seller terminates one or more Transactions in part but not in whole, and repurchases in part but not in whole one or more of the Purchased Loans related thereto pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof or (y) the Purchase Price for any Purchased Loan is less than the Maximum Purchase Price therefor, Seller may submit to Buyer a request for a new Transaction with respect to any such Purchased Loan requesting that Buyer transfer additional cash to Seller in an amount no less than $2,000,000, representing a portion of the Purchase Price for such Purchased Loan in an amount requested by Seller, which shall not exceed the difference as of the proposed date for such new Transaction between (A) the Maximum Purchase Price minus (B) the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan as of such proposed date (each such transaction, an “Additional Advance Transaction” and the amount so funded with respect to each Additional Advance Transaction, the “Additional Funding Amount”). Buyer shall not be required to fund any Additional Advance Transaction unless, immediately prior to and, immediately after giving effect to, such proposed Additional Advance Transaction (1) no uncured Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Additional Advance Transaction, or (2) there has been, in the preceding 30-day period, (x) no more than, in aggregate, five (5) Additional Advance Transactions and (y) there has been no more than, in the aggregate, five (5) Purchased Loans subject to Additional Advance Transactions (taking into account all Purchased Loans in respect of which an Additional Advance Transaction is being proposed). Upon delivery of a written request by Seller for an Additional Advance Transaction, and Buyer’s satisfaction in its sole discretion that all terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3(s) have been complied with, Buyer shall fund each such Additional Advance Transaction in an amount (the “Additional Funding Amount”) no greater than the Maximum Purchase Price for the related Purchased Loan. In connection with any such Additional Advance Transaction, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction.

SECTION 4

MANDATORY PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL ASSETS

Buyer may determine and re-determine the Market Value of any or all Purchased Loans and the Asset Base on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. If the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion in accordance with this Agreement on any date of determination exceeds the Asset Base as of such date of determination (a “Margin Deficit”), and such Margin Deficit is greater than the Minimum Margin Amount, then Seller shall, no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of Buyer’s written notice to Seller of such Margin Deficit (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) if such Margin Deficit is delivered before 1 p.m. on any Business Day, otherwise not later than 2 Business Days after receipt of a Margin Deficit Notice, either deliver to Buyer (i) cash or Cash Equivalents or (ii) additional collateral acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion

-37-

(including, without limitation, Eligible Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), in each case in an amount sufficient to reduce the Aggregate Repurchase Price to an amount equal to the Asset Base as redetermined by Buyer after giving effect to the delivery of cash or Cash Equivalents or additional collateral by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4. Any cash or Cash Equivalents delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4 shall be applied by Buyer to reduce the Repurchase Price of each Purchased Loan on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of which payment to cure a Margin Deficit has been made. No Exit Fee shall be due or payable in connection with any reduction of the Aggregate Repurchase Price as a result of applying any payments made in accordance with this Section 4.

SECTION 5

INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) On or before the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall establish and maintain with the Depository Bank a deposit account in the name of Seller and under the sole control of Buyer with respect to which the Blocked Account Agreement shall have been executed (such account, together with any replacement or successor thereof, the “Blocked Account”). Seller shall cause all Income with respect to the Purchased Loans or cash or Cash Equivalents delivered under Section 4 to be deposited in the Blocked Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Blocked Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Loans within one (1) Business Day of receipt. All Income in respect of the Purchased Loans, which shall include payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, shall be deposited directly into, or, if applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Blocked Account.

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

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

(ii) second, to Buyer, all Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii) third, all amounts payable to Buyer, as a Hedge Counterparty or any Affiliate of Buyer, as a Hedge Counterparty, under any Hedging Transaction;

(iv) fourth, if a Principal Payment in respect of any Purchased Loan has been made during such Collection Period, to Buyer, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the product of the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by the applicable Purchase Percentage and (ii) such greater amount, such that after giving effect to such payment of the applicable Repurchase Price, the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans is equal to the Asset Base, as reasonably determined by Buyer after giving effect to such payment; and

-38-

(v) fifth, to Seller the remainder, if any; provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing on such Remittance Date, all amounts otherwise payable to Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Blocked Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to the Depository Bank that such Default has been cured to satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion (which notice Buyer shall deliver, with a copy to Seller, immediately following Buyer’s determination that such Default has been cured), at which time the Depository Bank shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority fifth; and (y) the day that is ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence of the applicable Default, at which time the Depository Bank shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Section 5(c).

(c) If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Loans and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Blocked Account as follows:

(i) first, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Business Day;

(ii) second, to Buyer, all Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii) third, all amounts payable to Buyer, as a Hedge Counterparty or any Affiliate of Buyer, as a Hedge Counterparty, under any Hedging Transaction;

(iv) fourth, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Aggregate Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loans, until the Aggregate Repurchase Price for all of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero; and

(v) fifth, to Seller the remainder, if any.

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

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

-39-

SECTION 6

CAUTIONARY SECURITY INTEREST

(a) Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans for all purposes (other than for U.S. Federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event that any Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transactions and the Transaction Documents and hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all of the Purchased Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all security interests, mortgages and liens on personal or real property securing the Purchased Loans) and related Servicing Rights, (ii) all Hedging Transactions, (iii) the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein, (iv) all Income from the Purchased Loans, (v) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Loan or the related Eligible Property, (vi) all “general intangibles”, “deposit accounts”, “securities accounts”, “securities”, “instruments”, “investment property” and “proceeds” of any of the foregoing, each as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing, (vii) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, any and all of the foregoing, and (viii) any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified in the Confirmation and/or the Trust Receipt, the Purchased Loan Schedule or exception report with respect to the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created (collectively, the “Repurchase Assets”).

(b) With respect to the security interest in the Repurchase Assets granted in Section 6(a) hereof, and with respect to the security interests granted in Section 6(c), Seller covenants that such security interests shall at all times be validly perfected under the UCC as in effect in each applicable jurisdiction, and that Buyer’s perfected security interest in all Repurchase Assets shall at all times be senior to the rights of any other creditor of Seller. Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and any other applicable law and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or proceeds therefrom to the obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause UCC financing statements in form satisfactory to Buyer to be filed in the filing office required to perfect Buyer’s security interest in all Repurchase Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing naming Seller as debtor, Buyer as secured party and adequately identifying the Repurchase Assets as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the outright transfer, including under Section 22 of this Agreement (and which collateral description may identify the collateral as “all assets of the debtor” or such other “super-generic” description in accordance with Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware) and the security interest granted hereby and, in each case, continuation statements and any amendments thereto (including, without limitation, by causing to be filed any amendments necessary to add or delete Repurchase Assets covered by the financing statement to reflect the purchase and repurchase of Purchased Loans) (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller shall, from time to time, at its own expense, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further filings, instruments and

-40-

documents and take all such further actions as may be necessary or desirable or as may be requested by Buyer with respect to the perfection and priority of the outright transfer of the Purchased Loans and the security interest granted hereunder in the Repurchase Assets and the rights and remedies of Buyer with respect to the Repurchase Assets (including under Section 22 of this Agreement, and including the payments of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement).

(c) Pursuant to Seller’s pledge to Buyer of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in all Hedging Transactions relating to Purchased Loans entered into by Seller and all proceeds thereof, Seller shall take all action as is necessary or desirable to obtain consent to assignment of any such Hedging Transaction to Buyer and shall cause the counterparty under each such Hedging Transaction to enter into such document or instrument satisfactory to Buyer, Seller and such counterparty, pursuant to which such counterparty will covenant and agree to accept notice from Buyer to redirect payments under such Hedging Transaction as Buyer may direct. So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Buyer agrees that it will not redirect payments under any Hedging Transaction pledged to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(c).

(d) In connection with the repurchase by Seller of any Purchased Loan in accordance with this Agreement, upon receipt of the Repurchase Price by Buyer, Buyer will deliver to Seller, at Seller’s expense, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to reconvey such Purchased Loan and any Income related thereto to Seller.

-59-

(c) If Buyer determines, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, that it shall not advance the Future Funding Advance to the related Underlying Obligor, then Seller may elect to repurchase the related Purchased Loan in accordance with Section 3(h) and Section 3(i) and upon such election, an Early Repurchase Date shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Purchased Loan.

-63-

In the event that Buyer shall not have received repayment in full of the aggregate Repurchase Price and the other obligations of the Seller under the Transaction Documents following its liquidation of the Purchased Loans, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, pursue the Seller and Guarantor (to the extent provided in the Guaranty) for all or any part of any deficiency.

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

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

(vii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, 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.

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

(c) Buyer may assign or sell all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and under any Transaction and all or a portion of its rights and interests in any Hedging Transaction, in each case, without the prior consent of Seller; to any of the following Persons: (I) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Person designated by Buyer for purposes of this Section 17(c), without exception or restriction, and (II) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any of the following Persons designated by Buyer for purposes of this Section 17(c): (1) a bank, financial institution, pension fund, insurance company or similar Person or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, and any Affiliate of Buyer, which in each case, (x) is not a Prohibited Transferee and (y) is regularly engaged in the business of making or owning commercial real estate loans or operating commercial mortgage properties, and (2) any other Person to which Seller has consented, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless the proposed Person is a Prohibited Transferee, in which case such consent of Seller may be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, in connection with any sale or assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents pursuant to this Section 17(c), any Transaction or any portion thereof, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) Buyer shall at all times retain control and security over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and any Transaction (including, without limitation, the determination of (A) whether any Purchased Loan is an Eligible Loan, (B) the Market Value of any Purchased Loan, and (C) whether any Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall restrict or limit Buyer’s right to consult with and consider the views and opinions of any assignee or transferee of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement), (ii) Seller shall not be obligated or required to deal directly or indirectly with any Person other than Buyer, and (iii) Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to pay or reimburse Buyer or any other Person for any costs or expenses relating to any such assignment, participation, sale or other transfer.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Each Buyer that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of the applicable participant and, with respect to each such participant, the participated Repurchase Price and Price Differential (the “Participant Register”). No Buyer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the participating Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

(a) Seller hereby agrees to hold Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors and employees (“Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any and all servicing and enforcement costs with respect to the Purchased Loans) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, until such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions and all other amounts due and payable under the Transaction Documents shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify each Indemnified Party against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, that, in each case, results from anything other than the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan Documents, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expense, loss or damage suffered by Buyer by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its external counsel.

SECTION 21

DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or determining or re-determining the Asset Base for purposes of Section 4 of this Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of the Purchased Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and Appraisals on the applicable collateral and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Purchased Loans; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, in no event shall Seller be responsible for payment of Diligence Fees of Buyer hereunder in excess of Buyer’s reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer’s outside service providers and outside counsel) for each New Loan. Upon reasonable (but no less than one (1) Business Days’) prior written notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine and inspect the Purchased Loan Files and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to any Purchased Loan in the possession or under the control of Seller, any servicer or sub-servicer and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer, upon reasonable advance written notice, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter designated by Buyer in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller.

SECTION 22

SERVICING

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, the Purchased Loans will be sold by Seller to Buyer on a servicing released basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree and confirm that from and after the date hereof, only such Servicing Agreements that have been approved by Buyer shall govern the servicing of the Purchased Loans and any prior agreement between Seller and any other Person or otherwise with respect to such servicing is hereby superseded in all respects.

(b) Seller agrees that, as between Seller and Buyer, Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents,

-72-

records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard any such Servicing Records in Seller’s possession and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c) Seller shall not, and shall not provide consent to Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps to cause Servicer and any other sub-servicers engaged on behalf of Buyer to execute a Servicer Acknowledgement acknowledging Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Loans and the Servicing Agreement and agreeing that the Servicer and any sub-servicer (if applicable) shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Loans in the Blocked Account, all in such manner as shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

(e) To the extent applicable, Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps to cause Servicer to permit Buyer to inspect Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying Buyer that Servicer has the ability to service such Purchased Loan as provided in this Agreement.

(f) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, sell the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Servicer. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall have the right immediately to terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Loans without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

SECTION 23

TREATMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a financing, and that Seller is, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Loans for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer (and its assignees and participants, if any) shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state or local taxing authority.

SECTION 24

INTENT

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

-73-

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

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

(d) The parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, and otherwise constitute transfers made by or to (or for the benefit of) an eligible securities contract counterparty in connection with a securities contract within the meaning of Sections 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) It is understood and agreed that each party (for so long as each is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo participant,” or “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Sections 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement,” including (x) the rights set forth in Sections 3 and 14 and in Sections 555, 559, and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code to liquidate the Purchased Loans and/or accelerate or terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out termination payments, payment amounts or other transfer obligations and otherwise exercise contractual rights as set forth in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(b)(27), 362(o), and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(g) It is understood and agreed that any party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of or to offset or net termination values, payment amounts, or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is in each case a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of or to offset or net termination values, payment amounts, or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder as described in Section 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of (i) this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement”, “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement”, (ii) the Guaranty as a “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement”, or (iii) each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except insofar as the type of asset subject to the Transactions or, in the case of a “repurchase agreement”, the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable.

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

(j) 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

-74-

(“FDIA”), then each of the Transactions 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 the Transactions would render such definition inapplicable).

(k) The parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under the Transactions 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).

SECTION 25

TAXES

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 25) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes of which it is aware to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 25) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail calculation of the amount of such payment or liability (together with a certified copy of the return reporting such payment, if applicable or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Seller) delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 25, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

-75-

(i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 25(d)(ii)(A), Section 25(d)(ii)(B), Section 25(d)(ii)(D), and Section 25(e) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer; provided, that, Buyer shall deliver a written statement explaining in reasonable detail any such determination not to provide necessary documentation to Seller.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller is a U.S. Person,

(A) any U.S. Buyer shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Buyer under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

(III) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a

certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VI-A to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

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

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

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

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

(f) If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 25 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 25), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 25 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 25(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 25(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 25(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 25(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 25 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

SECTION 26

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) All references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

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

(c) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Electronically transmitted signature pages shall be binding to the same extent as original signature pages unless a genuine question is raised about the original signature page’s authenticity or the circumstances otherwise make it unfair to accept the electronic copy as binding.

-78-

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

(e) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

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

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

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

The foregoing indemnification shall survive any resignation or removal of the Bailee or the termination or assignment of this Bailee Agreement.

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

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

9. Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for such Senior Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

10. Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Loan File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Senior Loan guaranty, and related Purchased Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Senior Loan.

11. Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related mortgagor’s fee (or with respect to those Mortgage Loans described in Paragraph 39 (“Ground Leases”) of this Part 1, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to Paragraph 12 (“Permitted Liens; Title Insurance”) of this Part 1 set forth in the related Exception Report (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Except as otherwise set forth in the Title Policy (as hereinafter defined) relating to the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and currently is, free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

12. Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing such Senior Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (as applicable, the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Senior Loan (or with respect to a Senior 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 (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and

EXH. V-3

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

13. Junior Liens. Except for any Crossed Mortgage Loans, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in Paragraph 11 (“Lien; Valid Assignment”) of this Part 1 above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in the related Exception Report, Seller has no Knowledge of any Mezzanine Loan secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

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

15. UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording

EXH. V-4

offices necessary at the time of the origination of such Senior Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by the related mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

16. Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Senior Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Senior Loan and no more than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Senior Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Closing Date. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Senior Loan.

17. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

18. Condemnation. Seller has not received written notice from any governmental agency or body of any proceeding pending and, to Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination and currently there is not any proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

EXH. V-5

19. Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. Seller has not received any written notice of and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any mortgagor, guarantor or mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Senior Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan Documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

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

21. No Holdbacks. Except as for Purchased Loans identified to Buyer in connection with the subject Transaction as having future advances, the principal amount of the Senior Loan has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Senior Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

22. Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, as of the Purchase Date, 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 Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A :VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

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

EXH. V-6

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Purchase Date for such Senior Loan have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Buyer. Such Senior Loan obligates the related mortgagor to maintain or cause to be maintained all such insurance and, at such mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require prior notice as provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

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

24. No Encroachments. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on current surveys obtained in connection with the origination of such Senior Loan and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with

EXH. V-7

escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Senior Loan, (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

25. No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. Such Senior Loan does not have any shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date) or an equity participation by Seller.

26. REMIC. To the extent such Senior Loan is identified on the Purchased Loan Information in Schedule 1 of this Agreement as being REMIC eligible, the Senior Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Senior Loan to the related mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Senior Loan and (B) either: (a) such Senior Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Senior Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date, at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Senior Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Senior Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Senior Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Senior Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G 2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Senior Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Senior Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this Paragraph 26 shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

EXH. V-8

27. Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date for such Senior Loan or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Senior Loan by Buyer.

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

29. Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing such Senior Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or the operating income of the Mortgaged Property or the security interest in the Mortgaged Property under the Senior Loan Documents. The terms of such Purchased Loan Documents require the mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

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

31. Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Loan Documents for such Senior Loan provide that such Senior Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the mortgagor or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the mortgagor; (ii) mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause

EXH. V-9

an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Loan Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the mortgagor or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of mortgagor’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Loan; (ii) misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Senior Loan event of default); (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the related Purchased Loan Documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

32. Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Senior 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 (as defined in Paragraph 37 (“Defeasance”) below), of not less than a specified percentage, which, in the case of Senior Loan identified on Schedule 1 of this Agreement as REMIC eligible, 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 Senior Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in Paragraph 37 (“Defeasance”) below), (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 such Senior 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. With respect to any Senior Loan identified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement as REMIC eligible, 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 such Senior Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause such Senior 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 Senior 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), 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 such Senior 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 Senior Loan identified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement as REMIC eligible, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the related Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions and, to such extent, condemnation awards may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged

EXH. V-10

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 Mortgage Loan.

With respect to any Senior Loan identified on Schedule 1 to this Agreement as REMIC eligible, no such Senior Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC provisions.

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

34. Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.

With respect to each other Senior Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Senior Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Senior Loan, the related Purchased 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 except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated in the related Exception Schedule; provided, 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 Senior 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 two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Senior Loan, 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.

35. Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Diligence Materials, subject to specific exceptions set forth below, such Senior Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Senior Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Senior Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Senior Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph 32 (“Mortgage Releases”) or Paragraph 37 (“Defeasance”) of this Part 1 or the exceptions thereto set forth in the related Exception Schedule, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any serviced companion loan or non-serviced companion loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances.

Except as otherwise disclosed in the Diligence Materials, such Senior Loan requires the mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as such Senior Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the mortgagor with respect to each Senior Loan with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5 million provide that the mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Senior Loan with a Purchase Date Principal Balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Senior Loan has a principal balance as of the Purchase Date equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Loan Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Senior Loan and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related

EXH. V-12

Either (A) such Senior Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Senior Loan, except in the case of ARD Loans and situations where default interest is imposed or (B) such Senior Loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to the sum of (x) LIBOR or the Federal Funds Rate plus (y) a fixed number of basis points throughout the remaining term of the Senior Loan except in situations where default interest may be imposed. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, or prepayment premiums) of such Senior Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

39. Ground Leases. For purposes of this Paragraph 39 (“Ground Leases”), a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and

(b) The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Loan 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 lender, and no such consent has been granted by the Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan;

(c) The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Senior Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Senior Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Senior Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d) The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject;

(e) The Ground Lease (i) does not, in Seller’s reasonable judgment and to Seller’s Knowledge, place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the mortgagee and upon foreclosing on the Mortgage and (ii) is assignable (including pursuant to foreclosure) to the holder of the Senior Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Senior Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(g) The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender;

(h) A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(i) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed in Seller’s reasonable judgment as commercially unreasonable by Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

(j) Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Senior Loan documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(k) In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(l) Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in an Insolvency Proceeding.

RECITALS

Pursuant to the terms of that certain Custodial Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Custodial Agreement”), by and between U.S. Bank National Association (“Custodian”), Buyer and Seller, Custodian is required to take possession of those Eligible Loans purchased by Buyer, along with certain other documents specified in the Custodial Agreement, as Custodian of Buyer and any future purchaser, on several delivery dates, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement.

It is a condition precedent to Buyer entering into the Repurchase Agreement and purchasing the Purchased Assets pursuant thereto that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee in favor of Buyer with respect to the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following: (a) all payment obligations owing by Seller to Buyer under or in connection with the Repurchase Agreement and any other Transaction Documents; (b) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Buyer in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of Guarantor hereunder; and (c) any other obligations of Seller with respect to Buyer under each of the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, to induce Buyer to enter into the Transaction Documents and to enter into the transactions contemplated thereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees with Buyer as follows:

“Available Borrowing Capacity” shall mean, with respect to any Person, at any date of determination, the total unrestricted borrowing capacity which may be drawn (taking into account required reserves and discounts) upon by such Person or its Subsidiaries, at such Person’s or its Subsidiary’s sole discretion, under committed credit facilities or repurchase agreements which provide financing to such Person or its Subsidiaries.

“Cash Liquidity” shall mean, with respect to any Person, at any date of determination, the sum of (i) unrestricted cash, plus (ii) Available Borrowing Capacity, plus (iii) Cash Equivalents.

“Recourse Indebtedness” shall mean, with respect to any Person, at any date of determination, the amount of Indebtedness for which such Person has recourse liability (such as through a guarantee agreement), exclusive of any such Indebtedness for which such recourse liability is limited to obligations under agreements containing customary non-recourse carve-outs.

“Tangible Net Worth” shall mean, with respect to any Person on any date of determination, all amounts which would be included under capital or shareholder’s equity (or any like caption) on a balance sheet of such Person pursuant to GAAP, minus (a) amounts owing to such Person from any Affiliate thereof, or from officers, employees, partners, members, directors, shareholders or other Persons similarly affiliated with such Person or any Affiliate thereof, (b) intangible assets, and (c) prepaid taxes and/or expenses, all on or as of such date.

-2-

“Total Assets” shall mean, with respect to any Person on any date of determination, an amount equal to the aggregate book value of all assets owned by such Person and the proportionate share of such Person of all assets owned by Affiliates of such Person as consolidated in accordance with GAAP, less (a) amounts owing to such Person from any Affiliate thereof, or from officers, employees, partners, members, directors, shareholders or other Persons similarly affiliated with such Person or any Affiliate thereof, (b) intangible assets, (c) prepaid taxes and expenses, all on or as of such date, and (d) the amount of nonrecourse Indebtedness owing pursuant to securitization transactions such as a REMIC securitization, a collateralized loan obligation transaction or other similar securitizations.

2. Guarantee. (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer the prompt and complete payment and performance by Seller when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

(i) a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced by Seller under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law; or

(ii) an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Seller or Guarantor with respect to which Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof has colluded in any way with the creditors commencing or filing such proceeding.

(d) In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding the limitation on recourse liability set forth in clause (b) above, Guarantor shall be liable for any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs, claims, expenses or other liabilities incurred by Buyer arising out of or attributable to the following items:

-3-

(ii) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor in connection with (x) the execution and the delivery of this Guarantee, the Repurchase Agreement, or any of the other Transaction Documents or (y) any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Buyer at the time of the closing of the Repurchase Agreement or during the term of the Repurchase Agreement; or

(iii) any material breach of any representations and warranties by Guarantor contained in any Transaction Document and any material breach by Seller or Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates, of any representations and warranties relating to Environmental Laws, or any indemnity for costs incurred in connection with the violation of any Environmental Law, the correction of any environmental condition, or the removal of any Materials of Environmental Concern, in each case in any way affecting Seller’s or Guarantor’s properties or any of the Purchased Loans; provided that the guarantee set forth in this clause (d)(iii) shall terminate upon foreclosure and transfer or assumption of the Purchased Loan following an Event of Default under the Repurchase Agreement pursuant to a public or private sale or strict foreclosure, or other similar enforcement proceeding.

(e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Buyer may have under Section 506(a), 506(b),
1111(b) or any other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Repurchase Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to the Buyer in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

(f) Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by Buyer in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, Guarantor under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are satisfied or paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto Seller may be free from any Obligations.

(g) No payment or payments made by Seller or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from Seller or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the amount of the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full.

(h) Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, Guarantor shall make any payment to Buyer on account of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, Guarantor will notify Buyer in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.

3. Subrogation. Upon making any payment hereunder, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Buyer against Seller and any collateral for any Obligations with

-4-

respect to such payment; provided that Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation until all amounts due and payable by Seller to Buyer under the Transaction Documents or any related documents have been paid in full; and further provided that such subrogation rights shall be subordinate in all respects to all amounts owing to the Buyer under the Transaction Documents.

4. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Until the Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full, Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer, and any Transaction Document and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part (other than a termination in whole of the Repurchase Agreement, which shall automatically terminate this Guarantee), as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Buyer shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other guarantor or any release of Seller or such other guarantor shall not relieve Guarantor of its Obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

5. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Seller or Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against Buyer, (iii) any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right to take any action against Seller or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to

-5-

exercise any right against Guarantor under this Guarantee or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller for the Obligations or of Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that Buyer may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and its permitted successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied in full, notwithstanding any sale by Buyer of any Purchased Asset as set forth in Section 10(b) of the Repurchase Agreement or the exercise by Buyer of any of the other rights and remedies set forth in any of the Transaction Documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

(i) Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against Buyer any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Seller, or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Seller against any other guarantor, or against any other person or security.

(ii) Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed about each of Seller’s financial condition, the status of other guarantors, if any, of circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than Buyer for such information and will not rely upon Buyer or any Buyer for any such information. Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Buyer, Guarantor hereby waives the right, if any, to require Buyer to disclose to Guarantor any information which Buyer may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances including, but not limited to, the release of or revocation by any other guarantor.

(iii) Guarantor has independently reviewed the Transaction Documents and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guarantee to Buyer,

-6-

Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by Seller or any other guarantor to Buyer or any Buyer, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.

6. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any of Seller or any substantial part of Seller’s property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

7. Payments. Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to Buyer without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars at the address specified in writing by Buyer.

8. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants that:

(a) Guarantor has the legal capacity and the legal right to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to perform Guarantor’s obligations hereunder;

(b) no consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of Guarantor) is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guarantee;

(c) this Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law);

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to or binding upon Guarantor or any of its property or to which Guarantor or any of its property is subject, or any provision of any security issued by Guarantor or of any agreement, instrument or other undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound (“Contractual Obligation”), and will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the properties or revenues of Guarantor pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Guarantor;

(e) except as disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the Knowledge of Guarantor, threatened in writing by or against Guarantor or against any of Guarantor’s properties or revenues with respect to this Guarantee or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, which litigation, investigation or proceeding could be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s Total Assets; and

-7-

(f) except as disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing Date, Guarantor has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the Knowledge of Guarantor, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings); no tax lien has been filed, and, to the Knowledge of Guarantor, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made by Guarantor on the date of each Transaction under the Repurchase Agreement, on and as of such date of the Transaction, as though made hereunder on and as of such date.

9. Covenants. Guarantor shall maintain the following covenants at all times following the Closing Date until the Repurchase Obligations have been paid in full:

(a) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The ratio of (i) Guarantor’s EBITDA during the previous four (4) fiscal quarters to (ii) Guarantor’s Fixed Charges during the same such previous four (4) fiscal quarters shall not be less than 1.40 to 1.00 as determined as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter.

(b) Minimum Tangible Net Worth. Guarantor’s Tangible Net Worth shall not fall below the sum of (i) fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) plus (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the net cash proceeds of any equity issuance by Guarantor that occurs after the Closing Date.

(c) Minimum Cash Liquidity. Guarantor’s Cash Liquidity shall not fall below the greater of (i) ten million dollars ($10,000,000) or (ii) five percent (5%) of Guarantor’s Recourse Indebtedness.

(d) Maximum Indebtedness. The ratio, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall equal Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness and the denominator of which shall equal Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ Total Assets, shall be greater than eighty percent (80%).

(e) REIT Status. Guarantor (i) shall at all times continue to qualify as a REIT (after giving effect to any cure or corrective periods or allowances permitted under the Code) and be entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, as described in Section 561 of the Code, with respect to any dividends paid by it, (ii) shall not enter into any prohibited transactions, as defined in
Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code.

10. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-8-

11. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Buyer shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 13 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or event of default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Buyer, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Buyer of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Buyer would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

13. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by Guarantor and Buyer, provided that, subject to any limitations set forth in the Repurchase Agreement, any provision of this Guarantee may be waived by Buyer in a letter or agreement executed by Buyer or by email transmission from Buyer to Guarantor. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and their respective successors and assigns. THIS GUARANTEE AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTEE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

14. Notices. Notices by Buyer to Guarantor may be given by mail, or by email with proof of delivery, addressed to Guarantor at the address set forth under its signature below and shall be effective (a) in the case of mail, five (5) days after deposit in the postal system, first class certified mail and postage pre-paid, (b) one (1) Business Day following timely delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service for next Business Day delivery and (c) in the case of email, upon confirmation of delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. local recipient time on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day.
