Subject to the foregoing, upon the payment in full of any Purchased Asset by the Borrower thereunder, the Repurchase Date of such Purchased Asset shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Repurchase Price (in the Applicable Currency of the related Purchased Asset) therefor and any additional amounts required hereunder, are received by Purchaser for application in accordance with Article 5.

(h) Future Advances. (i) From time to time prior to the Repurchase Date for any applicable Future Advance Purchased Asset, the applicable Seller may request that Purchaser transfer cash (in the Applicable Currency of the related Purchased Asset) to such Seller (resulting in a corresponding increase in the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset) in connection with the making of a Future Advance under such Future Advance Purchased Asset, which amount shall be transferred by Purchaser to such Seller (or at the direction of such Seller to a Designated Funding Party) subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Purchaser in writing) of the conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the “Future Advance Purchase Price Increase Conditions”).

(ii) For purposes of this Article 3(h), the Future Advance Purchase Price Increase Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied if:

(A) at least three (3) Business Days (if requested prior to 11:00 am (New York City Time), otherwise four (4) Business Days) prior to the requested Purchase Price increase date, the applicable Seller shall have requested such increase in writing, which may be in the form of a draft amended and restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction described in subclause (D) below, and delivered to Purchaser (1) copies of all documentation submitted by Borrower in connection with the applicable Future Advance and (2) evidence that all conditions precedent to such Future Advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied or will be satisfied as of the date of the related funding (or, if any conditions will not be satisfied, written request for Purchaser’s waiver of such conditions);

(B) the amount of the requested Purchase Price increase (together with the amount of all Purchase Price increases with respect to each other Purchased Asset requested by any Seller to be made on the applicable requested Purchase Price increase date) is at least $1,000,000 (with amounts requested with respect to any Foreign Purchased Asset to be converted to U.S. Dollars for purposes of such calculation based on the Spot Rate with respect to the Applicable Currency of such Foreign Purchased Asset as of the date of determination);

(C) Purchaser shall have determined in its commercially reasonable discretion that (1) all conditions precedent to such Future Advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied and (2) any additional conditions imposed by Purchaser with respect to such Future Advance, as specified in the related Confirmation on the Purchase Date (as may be amended by the applicable Seller and Purchaser upon mutual agreement following the Purchase Date), have been duly satisfied;

(D) delivery by the applicable Seller to Purchaser and Collateral Agent of an amended and restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction which reflects the increase in the Purchase Price signed by a Responsible Officer of such Seller (subject to the provisos to Article 3(c)(iii)(B) hereof; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty to confirm that any such Confirmation has been signed by the requisite number of Responsible Officers of such Seller and shall not be liable to such Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Confirmation that has not been signed by the requisite number of Responsible Officers of such Seller or at all);

(E) immediately after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase, the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset shall not exceed the updated Maximum Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset set forth on the related amended and restated Confirmation;

(G) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the related Purchase Price increase date or will occur as a result of such Purchase Price increase;

(H) no Margin Deficit shall exist, either immediately prior to or after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase;

(I) all Repeating Representations made by any Seller Party in the Transaction Documents and all Fundamental Purchased Asset Representations made by the applicable Seller pursuant to Article 10(w) with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset (except as disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the related Purchase Price increase date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such Repeating Representation or Fundamental Purchased Asset Representation is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(J) on or prior to the related Purchase Price increase date, Purchaser shall have received a written certification by the related Seller stating that all conditions precedent to the funding of such Future Advance under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied (which may be made via a representation in the amended and restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction described in subclause (D) above); and

(K) the applicable Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser such other information and documentation (including, without limitation, either an updated title policy or an appropriate date-down endorsement) as Purchaser may reasonably request.

(A) the amount of the applicable Purchase Price reduction (together with the amount of all Purchase Price reductions with respect to each other Purchased Asset to be made by the related Seller on the applicable Purchase Price reduction date) is at least $5,000,000 (with reductions with respect to any Foreign Purchased Asset to be converted to U.S. Dollars for purposes of such calculation based on the Spot Rate with respect to the Applicable Currency of such Foreign Purchased Asset as of the date of determination); and

(B) immediately after giving effect to the applicable Purchase Price reduction, the Effective Purchase Price Percentage of the applicable Purchased Asset shall not be less than seventy-eight and one-eighth percent (78.125%) (provided that if the Parallel Agreement is entered into, this subclause (B) shall be specifically referenced therein with the percentage above adjusted to sixty-two and one-half percent (62.5%)).

The related Seller shall pay any applicable Breakage Costs in connection with any such reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price.

(ii) From time to time to the extent that any Margin Excess exists with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, the related Seller may request that Purchaser transfer cash (in the Applicable Currency of the related Purchased Asset) to such Seller (or at the direction of such Seller to a Designated Funding Party) (resulting in a corresponding increase in the outstanding Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset(s)) in an amount not to exceed such Margin Excess, which amount shall be transferred by Purchaser to such Seller within two (2) Business Days following such Seller’s written request, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(C) immediately after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase, the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset shall not exceed the Maximum Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset;

(D) immediately after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase, the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price in Euros (with respect to any Purchased Asset for which the Applicable Currency is not Euros, based on the Purchase Date Spot Rate with respect to the Applicable Currency) of all Purchased Assets shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Purchase Price;

(E) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the related Purchase Price increase date or will occur as a result of such Purchase Price increase;

(F) no Margin Deficit shall exist, either immediately prior to or after giving effect to the requested Purchase Price increase (unless the same would be cured by application of such Margin Excess);

(G) all Repeating Representations made by any Seller Party in the Transaction Documents and all Fundamental Purchased Assets Representations made by the applicable Seller pursuant to Article 10(w) with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset (except as disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the related Purchase Price increase date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such Repeating Representation or Fundamental Purchased Asset Representation is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(H)with respect to any Margin Excess which exists solely as a result of the increase in Market Value of any Purchased Asset following satisfaction of a Margin Call in respect of such Purchased Asset pursuant to Article 4, Purchaser shall have approved the applicable Purchase Price increase in its sole good faith discretion (which Purchase Price increase, if so approved by Purchaser, will be made under the same Transaction for the applicable Purchased Asset or as a new Transaction in respect of such Purchased Asset as elected by Purchaser).

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the references to Purchaser in this Article 3(i) with respect to US Seller and any U.S. Purchased Asset shall be limited to US Purchaser only, (ii) the references to Purchaser in this Article 3(i) with respect to UK Seller and any Foreign Purchased Asset (GBP) shall be limited to UK Purchaser only, and (iii) the references to Purchaser in this Article 3(i) with respect to EUR Seller and any Foreign Purchased Asset (EUR) shall be limited to EUR Purchaser only.

(j) Custodial Delivery Failure. If a material portion of the Purchased Asset File for any Purchased Asset, as determined by Purchaser in its commercially reasonable discretion, has not been delivered to the Custodian or remains outstanding in violation of the Custodial Agreement, then at Purchaser’s written request (made in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion), then the applicable Seller shall be required to either (at Seller’s election) cure such deficiency or repurchase such Purchased Asset, in each case by no later than five (5) Business Days following such Seller’s receipt of such request from Purchaser if received by 12:00 noon (New York City time) (for the avoidance of doubt, if such request is given by Purchaser on any Business Day after 12:00 noon (New York City time), such request shall be considered given prior to such time on the immediately following Business Day).

(k) Fundamental Purchased Asset Representations. If any Fundamental Purchased Asset Representation is incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by Purchaser in writing in accordance with the terms hereof), then the applicable Seller shall repurchase the applicable Purchased Asset upon Purchaser’s written request unless such Seller is able to cure the underlying condition that caused such Fundamental Purchased Asset Representation to be materially breached within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period of time as determined by Collateral Agent to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances) following such Seller’s receipt of such request from Purchaser.

(a) Purchaser may, at its option in its sole and absolute discretion, re-determine the Market Value for any Purchased Asset in accordance with definition of Market Value. If a Margin Deficit exists, Purchaser may, by notice to Sellers with a simultaneous copy to Cash Manager substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII hereto (a “Margin Call”), require Sellers to either (at Sellers’ election with written notice of such election to Purchaser, Collateral Agent and Cash Manager) (i) make a cash payment (in the Applicable Currency of the related Purchased Asset) in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset in respect of which such Margin Deficit exists so that after giving effect to such payment, no Margin Deficit shall exist with respect such Purchased Asset or (ii) repurchase such Purchased Asset in accordance with Article 3(d), in either case within the time period set forth in clause (b) below.

(b) If a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day at or prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time), the applicable Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Margin Call. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Margin Call is given by Purchaser under Article 4(a) on any Business Day after 12:00 noon (New York City time), such Margin Call shall be considered given prior to such time on the immediately following Business Day.

(c) The failure or delay by Purchaser, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Article 4 shall not change or alter the terms and conditions or limit or waive the right of Purchaser to do so at a later date or in any way create additional rights for any Seller.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to this Article 4, any such payments and/or reductions shall be made by the applicable Seller in the Applicable Currency of the related Purchased Asset with respect to which such Margin Deficit exists. The amount of any reduction in Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset pursuant to this Article 4 may be redrawn by the applicable Seller in accordance with Article 3(i)(ii) above.

(a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of funds to be made by a Seller hereunder shall be made in the Applicable Currency with respect to each related Purchased Asset, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim.

(i) a Transaction Account shall be made in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth on Annex II (or such other wire instructions provided by Collateral Agent to the applicable Seller in writing);

(ii) a Loan Realisation Account shall be made in accordance with the wiring instructions set forth on Annex III; and

(A) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Enforcement Notice has been served, to the applicable Transaction Account based on the Applicable Currency of such payment;

(B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but no Enforcement Notice has been served, to the applicable Loan Realisation Account based on the Applicable Currency of such payment; or

in each case, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) (or such other time set forth herein with respect to such payment), on the date on which such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

(c) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sellers shall establish (i) a segregated interest bearing deposit account denominated in U.S. Dollars (the “US Collection Account”) in the name of US Seller for the benefit of Purchaser at Account Bank, (ii) a segregated interest bearing deposit account denominated in Pounds Sterling (the “UK Collection Account”) in the name of UK Seller for the benefit of Purchaser at Account Bank and (iii) a segregated interest bearing deposit account denominated in Euros in the name of EUR Seller for the benefit of Purchaser at Account Bank (the “EUR Collection Account” and, together with the US Collection Account, the UK Collection Account and any other Foreign Purchased Asset Collection Account, the “Collection Accounts”). Each Collection Account shall be subject to the Account Control Agreement in favor of Purchaser.

(d) Each Seller shall cause Servicer to promptly remit, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, all Net Cash Flow in respect of the Purchased Assets directly into the applicable Collection Account maintained by such Seller. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sellers shall cause each Servicer to execute and deliver a Redirection Letter in accordance with Article 29(e). If any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof shall receive any Net Cash Flow with respect to a Purchased Asset other than in accordance with the Transaction Documents, such party shall (and the applicable Seller shall cause such party to) promptly (and in any case within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) remit such amounts directly into the applicable Collection Account. Amounts in the Collection Accounts shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the provisions of Articles 5(e) and 5(f).

(e) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Account Bank shall, on each Remittance Date (or, with respect to any Principal Payments received by Account Bank, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof), remit all amounts on deposit in each Collection Account in the following order of priority:

(i) first, from each Collection Account an amount equal to the applicable Allocation Proportion of all fees and any amounts that are reimbursable to such Person out of collections on the Purchased Assets in accordance with the express terms of the applicable agreement (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any indemnification amounts owed by Seller) then due and payable to (w) Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, (x) Account Bank pursuant to the applicable Account Control Agreement, (y) Servicer pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (z) Securitisation Regulations Reporting Servicer pursuant to the Securitisation Regulations Reporting Servicing Agreement, in each case, which are (1) payable by Sellers pursuant to the terms of the applicable agreement, (2) have not previously been paid to the parties entitled to such amounts and (3) exclusive of any amounts due under any indemnification;

(ii) second, following the payment all amounts required to be paid by US Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the US Collection Account to the USD Transaction Account;

(iii) third, following the payment of all amounts required to be paid by EUR Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the EUR Collection Account to the EUR Transaction Account; and

(iv) fourth, following the payment of all amounts required to be paid by UK Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the UK Collection Account to the GBP Transaction Account.

(f) If a Step Down Trigger has occurred and is continuing, Sellers shall, within five (5) Business Days after any amount on account of principal being paid to the holder of the Class B Notes in any Applicable Currency (a “Pay-down Amount”), pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Pay-down Amount and (ii) the minimum amount necessary to cure the Step Down Trigger (in each case after conversion by Sellers to each relevant Applicable Currency based on the Spot Rate with respect to the Applicable Currency as of the date of such payment) to be applied to the outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets on a pro rata basis based on outstanding Purchase Price.

(g) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Account Bank shall, on each Remittance Date (or, with respect to any Principal Payments received by Account Bank, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof), remit all amounts on deposit in each Collection Account in the following order of priority:

(ii) second, if a Enforcement Notice has been served the credit balance remaining in the Collection Accounts as Common Issuer Security Trustee shall direct;

(iii) third, following the payment all amounts required to be paid by US Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the US Collection Account to the USD Loan Realisation Account;

(iv) fourth, following the payment of all amounts required to be paid by EUR Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the EUR Collection Account to the EUR Loan Realisation Account; and

(v) fifth, following the payment of all amounts required to be paid by UK Seller pursuant to clause (i) above, an amount equal to the credit balance remaining in the UK Collection Account to the GBP Loan Realisation Account.

(h) With respect to each Transaction, (x) all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Differential shall be due and payable by the related Seller to the related Purchaser on each Remittance Date and (y) all Ongoing Funding Fees shall be due and payable by the related Seller to the related Purchaser in accordance with the definition thereof.

(i) To the extent any Principal Payment is received for any Purchased Asset, an amount equal to the product of (x) such Principal Payment multiplied by (y) the Effective Purchase Price Percentage of such Purchased Asset as of the date of the receipt of such Principal Payment by Seller or by Servicer on its behalf, shall be due and payable by the related Seller to the related Purchaser within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Principal Payment by Seller or by Servicer on its behalf, such amount to be applied to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price of the related Purchased Asset. Any remittance requests or notices to Servicer relating to Principal Payments shall be copied to the related Purchaser, Collateral Agent and Cash Manager.

(j) If at any time the funds received by or for the account of a Seller (for these purposes, a “Shortfall Seller”) under its Purchased Assets are not sufficient to fund the payment in full of all Margin Calls required to be satisfied by it, reductions in outstanding Purchase Price, Purchase Price Differential and other amounts at such time due and payable under the Transaction Documents (such as reimbursement of expenses), an amount equal to the shortfall between the applicable funds received and the amount required to pay all amounts then due and payable by such Shortfall Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be payable by each Seller into the Collection Account of Shortfall Seller, on terms that this payment obligation, albeit requiring a Seller to pay into its own Collection Account, is a joint and several obligation of all Sellers. In the case of each Seller other than the Shortfall Seller, the payment obligation at any relevant time shall be determined by reference to the Spot Rate between the Applicable Currency in which the Collection Account of Shortfall Seller is denominated, and the currency of the Collection Account of that other Seller as at the date on which that other Seller makes the shortfall payment into its Collection Account.

(k) All remittances by Account Bank shall be made (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in accordance with instructions that conform to the requirements of this Agreement received from any Seller (or a Servicer on its behalf) and approved by Purchaser (provided, that, Purchaser may waive approval or any one or more such instructions, but such waiver shall not been deemed to be an approval of any instruction that does not conform to the requirements of this Agreement), and (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, in accordance with instructions received from Purchaser.

(l) For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be entitled to convert monies in the Collection Accounts from one Applicable Currency to another Applicable Currency (or direct any Account Bank to do so) in connection with any application thereof pursuant to this Article 5 to the extent that any such Repurchase Obligation is in an Applicable Currency other than the Applicable Currency of the monies in the Collection Accounts.

(a) Requirements of Law. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Purchaser (A) to enter into Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, then any commitment of Purchaser hereunder to enter into any Transaction shall forthwith be canceled, (B) to maintain or continue any Transaction and Purchaser does not have any means of complying with Requirements of Law other than to terminate such Transaction after exercising commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such Requirements of Law without having to terminate such Transaction, then a Repurchase Date for such Transaction shall occur on the later to occur of (x) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after delivery of written notice thereof from Purchaser to Sellers and (y) the next Remittance Date, or on such earlier date as may be required by law. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(i), Purchaser shall exercise its rights and remedies in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the same group within Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser will provide Sellers with notice promptly after any such determination under this Article 6(a)(i) is made.

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

(B) 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 Purchaser that is not otherwise included in the determination of the applicable index hereunder; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Purchaser, by an amount that Purchaser deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, the related Seller shall promptly after receipt of written notice thereof from Purchaser pay Purchaser any additional amounts necessary to compensate Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable in the Applicable Currency of such increased cost or reduced amount. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(ii), Purchaser shall exercise its rights and remedies in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties. In addition, Purchaser will provide Sellers with notice as soon as practical of any demand for any additional amounts payable by Sellers under this Article 6(a)(ii). Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Sellers and shall be conclusive evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Sellers of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(iii) If Purchaser shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Purchaser or any corporation controlling Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has, or will have, the effect of reducing the rate of return on Purchaser’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Purchaser to Sellers of a written request therefor, Sellers shall pay to Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Purchaser for such reduction. In exercising its rights under this Article 6(a)(iii), Purchaser shall exercise its rights and remedies in a manner which is consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated counterparties covered by the same group within Purchaser. In addition, Purchaser will provide Sellers with notice as soon as practical of any demand for any additional amounts payable by Sellers under this Article 6(a)(iii). Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Purchaser to Sellers and shall be conclusive evidence of such additional amounts absent manifest error.

(iv) Purchaser shall, in consultation with Sellers, make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, or being cancelled pursuant to, this Article 6(a). Purchaser confirms that it is entitled to full exemption from tax imposed by the United Kingdom on interest under the terms of the double taxation agreement between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Seller confirms that it is entitled to full exemption from tax imposed by the United Kingdom on interest under the terms of the double taxation agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States.

(b) Conforming Changes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Documents, Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make Conforming Changes and such Conforming Changes shall become effective without any further action or consent, but with written notice to Sellers.

(a) Purchaser and Sellers intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Purchaser of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Purchaser to the applicable Seller secured by the Purchased Assets (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes more fully described in Article 23(g)). However, in order to preserve Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, in the event that, other than for such tax purposes, a court or other forum re-characterizes the Transactions hereunder as other than sales, and as security for the performance by each Seller of all of such Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Purchaser, each such Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, to Purchaser to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other amounts owing by it to Purchaser hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 27, and under the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Each Seller agrees to mark its books and records to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Collateral” shall mean:

(i) the Collection Accounts and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Collection Accounts and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on, income relating to or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing; and

(b) Purchaser’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon satisfaction of the Repurchase Obligations (other than obligations under the Transaction Documents (including contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) which, by their express terms, survive termination of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, as the case may be), provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than in connection with a repayment of a Purchased Asset by the Borrower thereunder and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 3(e)), Purchaser’s security

interest with respect to any Purchased Asset shall terminate automatically effective upon the repurchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and receipt by Purchaser of the Repurchase Price therefor. Upon such satisfaction and, in the case of the clause (i) below, upon request by the applicable Seller, Purchaser shall, at such Seller’s sole expense, (i) deliver to such Seller such UCC termination statements (and, with respect to Foreign Purchased Assets, the equivalent under the applicable Requirements of Law in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction, if applicable) and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and (ii) return (or authorize the return by Custodian in accordance with the Custodial Agreement, as applicable) the Purchased Assets to the applicable Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to such Seller and release its security interest in the Collateral, such release to be effective automatically without further action by any party. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 7 this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Purchaser shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Purchaser, at the applicable Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (and, with respect to Foreign Purchased Assets, the equivalent under the applicable Requirements of Law in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction, if applicable) (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to such Seller upon the filing thereof, and (ii) such Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby and by any Foreign Assignment Agreement (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Purchaser hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to such Seller.

(c) Each Seller acknowledges that it has no rights to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights granted to it pursuant to Article 29. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the grant of a security interest pursuant to Article 7(a), and in the event that any Seller is deemed by a court, other forum or otherwise to retain any residual Servicing Rights (notwithstanding that such Servicing Rights are Purchased Items hereunder), and for the avoidance of doubt, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Servicing Rights constitute Collateral hereunder for all purposes. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) Each Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by any Requirement of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Asset or Mortgaged Property may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and each Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Purchaser or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Purchaser or such court may determine.

Each Seller Party and, to Sellers’ Knowledge, each of their respective controlled Affiliates has complied with, and is in compliance with, all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(ll) Centre of Main Interests. Each Seller warrants, represents and covenants that it has not (A) taken any action that would cause its “centre of main interests” (as such term is used in Section 3(1) of the European Council Regulation (EC) No. 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings (the “Insolvency Regulation”)) to be located in the United Kingdom or Europe or (B) registered as a company in any jurisdiction other than Delaware.

(i) Material Adverse Effect. Each Seller shall promptly after obtaining Knowledge thereof, notify Purchaser and Collateral Agent of any material adverse change in the business operations and/or financial condition of any Seller Party, which change is reasonably likely, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Seller, to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 12 shall relieve any Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and such Seller’s failure to deliver any such notice shall not result in a Default or give rise to an Event of Default unless the failure of Seller to give such notice was due to any Seller’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

(ii) If Purchaser exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 14(b)(i):

(A) each Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date;

(C) the Custodian shall, upon the request of Purchaser, deliver to Purchaser or its designee all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and

(D) Purchaser may (1) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Purchaser may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (2) in its sole and absolute

discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Sellers credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Assets (as determined by Purchaser in its sole but good faith discretion) against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by each Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 14(b)(ii) shall be applied to the Repurchase Obligations in such order of priority as Purchaser shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

(iii) The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets subject to any Transaction hereunder are not instruments traded in a recognized market, (B) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Asset, Purchaser may establish the source therefor in its sole and absolute discretion and (C) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Net Cash Flow (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Purchaser to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Purchaser.

(iv) Sellers shall be liable to Purchaser and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates for the amount (including, without limitation, in connection with the enforcement of the Transaction Documents) of all actual losses, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by Purchaser in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default.

(v) Purchaser shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign (where relevant), and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (or, with respect to any Foreign Purchased Asset, the equivalent Requirements of Law in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction), to the extent that the UCC or such other Requirement of Law is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim and the right to appropriate the Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 14(b)(ii)(D)), in equity, and under any other agreement between Purchaser and any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Sellers’ obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement, without prejudice to Purchaser’s right to recover any deficiency. The parties hereto agree that the method of valuation of Purchased Assets provided for in this Section 14(b) shall constitute a commercially reasonable method of valuation for the purposes of the FCA Regulations;

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

(vii) Purchaser may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and each Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses such Seller might otherwise have to require Purchaser to enforce its rights by judicial process. Each Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense such Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Each Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

(viii)With respect to any Foreign Purchased Asset, Purchaser may take any steps necessary to vest all or any of such Foreign Purchased Asset in the name of Purchaser (or its designee) including completing and submitting any Transfer Certificate to the relevant facility agent and making payment of any transfer fees. Each Seller hereby agrees that any such transfer fees paid by Purchaser will constitute “Indemnified Amounts” for the purposes of Article 27 of this Agreement.

(c) Power of Attorney. Each Seller hereby appoints Purchaser and Collateral Agent as attorney-in-fact of such Seller during the continuance of an Event of Default for the purpose of taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Purchaser or Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the exercise of any remedies hereunder, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Sellers hereby agree to deliver to Purchaser or Collateral Agent upon request such powers of attorney as to evidence such appointment as Purchaser or Collateral Agent may reasonably request, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV.

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Seller hereby grants to Purchaser and its Affiliates, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a right to set-off, without prior written notice to any Seller, any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by any Seller to Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser against (i) any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and

irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Purchaser or its Affiliates to each Seller and (ii) any and all deposits (general or specified), monies, credits, securities, collateral or other property of any Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received for the account of such Seller (whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise) by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Purchaser or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Purchaser, wherever located). Purchaser shall give written notice to the applicable Seller of any set-off effected under this Article 15 to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so by applicable law.

(b) If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Purchaser may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Article 15 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Article 15 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(c) ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO PURCHASER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY ANY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SET-OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SUCH SELLER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY EACH SELLER.

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

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

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if sent by (i) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (ii) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (iii) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service or Royal Mail, with proof of delivery, or (iv) by electronic mail to the address specified in Exhibit I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by the respective notice party, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties listed on Exhibit I hereto in the manner provided for in this Article 18; provided, however, at least one of the individuals identified in clause (i) of the definition of “Knowledge” shall be an “attention” party for notices to any Seller. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (x) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, (y) in the case of registered or certified mail or expedited prepaid delivery, when delivered, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, or upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic confirmation acknowledging receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any automatically generated email or any similar automatic response shall not constitute confirmation). A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 18 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Seller directs Purchaser to transfer funds pursuant to a Transaction or otherwise in accordance with Article 3 to an account or recipient other than such Seller’s wiring instructions specified on Annex I, such direction shall be in writing (including in a Confirmation) and signed by two (2) Responsible Officers of such Seller; provided, however, that neither Purchaser nor Collateral Agent shall have any duty to confirm that any such request has been signed by the requisite number of Responsible Officers of such Seller and shall not be liable to such Seller if it acts on a request that has not been signed by the requisite number of Responsible Officers of such Seller or at all.

(b) All notices and other communications to be delivered by Purchaser under the Transaction Documents may be given by Collateral Agent on its behalf. All notices and other communications by Purchaser or Seller to any other Person under the Transaction Documents shall be copied to Collateral Agent.

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

(a) No Seller Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) and any attempt by any Seller Party to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document without the prior written consent of Purchaser shall be null and void.

(b) Purchaser may, without consent of any Seller, but with the written consent of Collateral Agent, at any time and from time to time, assign or participate some or all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction (subject to Article 9(a)) to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, other than in the case of a merger or other fundamental corporate transaction (such as a sale of the applicable business unit), (A) Banco Santander, S.A. or an Affiliate thereof shall directly or indirectly retain a minimum thirty-four percent (34%) interest in each Transaction in accordance with Clause 12.3.2 of the VFN Note Purchase Agreement, (B) Sellers shall only be required to interface with Parlex 8 USD IE Issuer Designated Activity Company, Parlex 8 GBP IE Issuer Designated Activity Company, Parlex 8 EUR IE Issuer Designated Activity Company, Common Issuer Security Trustee or Banco Santander, S.A. or an Affiliate thereof with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and (C) Banco Santander, S.A. or an Affiliate thereof shall retain all authority to enforce remedies and provide consents, waivers or approvals (including, without limitation, approving any Eligible Asset as a Purchased Asset or any extension of the Availability Period) under this Agreement and to determine the Market Value for any Purchased Asset under this Agreement. In connection with any such assignment or participation, Purchaser may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts due to Purchaser. Each Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Transaction Documents to which it is a party in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale of participating

interest. Sellers acknowledge that, on the date hereof, Purchaser shall, in accordance with the Trustee Pledge Agreement, pledge in favor of Common Issuer Security Trustee its rights hereunder as security for the Notes issued by Purchaser. Sellers further acknowledge that Common Issuer Security Trustee may, pursuant to the terms of the Trustee Pledge Agreement, assume the role of Purchaser under this Agreement, in which case, upon receipt of written notice of the same, Sellers shall recognize Common Issuer Security Trustee as having all of the rights and obligations of Purchaser hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the requirements with respect to Banco Santander, S.A. set forth in clauses (A) and (C) of the proviso to the first sentence of this Article 20(b)).

(c) Purchaser, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Sellers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each such sale, transfer and assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Purchaser and each permitted purchaser, transferee and assignee, as applicable, and the amounts (and stated interest) owing to, each purchaser, transferee and assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the parties hereunder shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any part of any Persons interest hereunder shall be effective or permitted under this Agreement until such person’s name and address has been registered in the Register pursuant to this Article 20.

(d) If Purchaser sells a participation interest pursuant to Article 20(b), it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the applicable Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest herein or obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Purchaser shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the related Seller or to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest 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 Purchaser and the related Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the register as the owner of such participation interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No participation pursuant to this Article 20 shall be effective until reflected in the foregoing register.

(e) 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 permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in the Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective permitted successors, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents.

THIS AGREEMENT (AND ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY HEREUNDER) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS DOCTRINE APPLIED IN SUCH STATE (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.

(a) The parties intend and recognize that the arrangements under this Agreement are to constitute a “title transfer financial collateral arrangement” or a “security financial collateral arrangement” for the purposes of the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No 2) Regulations 2003 (the “FCA Regulations”). The parties intend and acknowledge that (i) each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), (ii) each Purchased Asset constitutes either a “mortgage loan” or “an interest in a mortgage” as such terms are used in Title 11 of the United States Code and (iii) all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title II of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The parties intend and acknowledge that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to set-off or net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 14 is in each case a contractual right to cause or exercise such right as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

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

(d) The parties intend 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 any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and as used in Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, and a “securities contract” with the meaning of Section 555 and Section 559 under the Bankruptcy Code.

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

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local and foreign income and franchise and foreign tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing to the applicable Seller, and that the applicable Seller be (except to the extent that Purchaser shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Sellers and Purchaser agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence for all U.S. federal, state, and local income and franchise and foreign tax purposes (including, without limitation, on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.

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

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

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

(c) in the case of any Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution in connection with such Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

(c) The parties consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. Nothing in this Article 25 shall affect the right of either party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of either party to bring any enforcement action or proceeding against the other party or its property located in other jurisdictions in the courts of such other jurisdictions to the extent required by the laws of such other jurisdictions.

(d) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Each Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

(a) it is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents;

(b) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party;

(c) it is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

(d) it is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation;

(e) no joint venture exists between Purchaser and any Seller Party pursuant to any Transaction Document; and

(f) it is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

(a) Sellers hereby agree to indemnify Purchaser, Collateral Agent, and their respective Affiliates, and each of its and their Affiliates and each of its and their officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold harmless from, any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of outside counsel and, subject to Article 28, the costs of obtaining updated appraisals), Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Article 5) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, or as a result of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, any Transactions, any Event of Default or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing, and any enforcement of any of the provisions of the Transaction Documents; provided that no Seller shall be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to hold Purchaser and Collateral Agent harmless from and indemnify Purchaser and Collateral Agent against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act in each case, which does not result from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Purchaser or Collateral Agent in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, each Seller agrees to hold Purchaser and Collateral Agent harmless from and indemnify Purchaser and Collateral Agent from and against all Indemnified Amounts suffered by Purchaser or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof party to the Transaction Documents 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 any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof party to the Transaction Documents. The obligation of each Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of such Seller. This Article 27(a) shall (other than in respect of Indemnified Taxes) not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

(b) Sellers agree to pay or reimburse promptly after written demand all of Purchaser’s and Collateral Agent’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any Transaction Document or any Transaction thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or such Transaction is

ultimately consummated, (ii) the consummation (including on-boarding and pre-purchase due diligence) and administration of any Transaction or proposed Transaction (regardless of whether such proposed Transaction is ultimately consummated), (iii) any preservation of Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction Documents, (iv) any performance by Purchaser or Collateral Agent of any obligations of any Seller in respect of any Purchased Asset, (v) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or the Equity Pledged Collateral, (vi) the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral or the Equity Pledged Collateral (including insurance, filing and recording costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Purchaser in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, (vii) the maintenance of the Collection Accounts and registering the Collateral and the Equity Pledged Collateral in the name of Purchaser or its nominee, (viii) any default by any Seller in repurchasing the Purchased Asset after such Seller has given a notice in accordance with Article 3(e) of an Early Repurchase Date, (ix) any failure by any Seller to sell any Eligible Asset to Purchaser on the Purchase Date thereof, (x) any actions taken and which are reasonably necessary to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Document, (xi) Purchaser owning any Purchased Asset or other Purchased Item and/or (xii) in accordance with Section 28(e), any due diligence performed by Purchaser or Collateral Agent in accordance with Article 28. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Sellers to Purchaser and Collateral Agent under this Agreement. A certificate as to such costs and expenses, setting forth the calculations thereof shall be conclusive and binding upon Sellers absent manifest error.

(a) Each Seller acknowledges that Purchaser and Collateral Agent have the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, obtaining updated or new appraisals subject to the limitation on reimbursement for appraisals set forth in clause (f) below), the Seller Parties and Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise. Each Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required), such Seller shall provide (or shall cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to provide) reasonable access to Purchaser and Collateral Agent and any of their respective agents, representatives or permitted assigns to the offices of such Seller, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, during normal business hours and permit them to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of such party.

(b) Each Seller agrees that it shall, promptly upon reasonable request of Purchaser or Collateral Agent, deliver (or shall cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and Collateral Agent and any of their respective agents, representatives or permitted assigns copies of any documents permitted to be reviewed by Purchaser and Collateral Agent in accordance with Article 28(a).

(c) Each Seller agrees to make available (or to cause any other Seller Party or Servicer, as applicable, to make available) to Purchaser and Collateral Agent and any of their respective agents, representatives or permitted assigns (i) in person at the time of any inspection pursuant to Article 28(a) or (ii) upon reasonable prior written notice (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no prior notice shall be required and there shall be no limitation on frequency), by phone, as applicable, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer or asset manager, as applicable, of such Seller, such other Seller Party or Servicer, as the case may be, for the purpose of answering questions about any of the foregoing Persons, or any other matters relating to the Transaction Documents or any Transaction that Purchaser or Collateral Agent wishes to discuss with such Person.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may enter into Transactions with any Seller based solely upon the information provided by such Seller to Purchaser or Collateral Agent and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Purchaser or Collateral Agent, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets. Purchaser may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Each Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, Collateral Agent and any third party underwriter designated by Purchaser or Collateral Agent in writing in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Purchaser, Collateral Agent and such third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of any such Seller Party reasonably requested by Purchaser or Collateral Agent in writing.

(e) Each Seller agrees to reimburse Purchaser or Collateral Agent, as applicable, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of an invoice therefor for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) incurred by Purchaser or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with its due diligence activities pursuant to this Article 28; provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Sellers shall only be required to reimburse the cost of appraisals in accordance with the following clause (f).

(f) To the extent that a Borrower under any Purchased Asset delivers a new or updated appraisal of a Mortgaged Property securing such Purchased Asset, the related Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Purchaser and Collateral Agent a copy of such appraisal no later than five (5) Business Days after such Seller has received the same. Any additional appraisals of the Mortgaged Properties obtained or requested by Collateral Agent or Purchaser shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be at Collateral Agent’s sole cost and expense.

(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets are sold to Purchaser on a “servicing released” basis and Purchaser is owner of all Servicing Rights so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Seller shall be granted a revocable license (which license shall automatically be (i) renewed every thirty (30) days unless Purchaser provides written notice to such Seller that such license is not to be extended for another thirty (30) days, or (ii) revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Assets sold by such Seller, and such Seller shall, at such Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause the Servicer to service the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Article 29 and for the benefit of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall take any action or effect any Material Decision without first having given prior notice thereof to Purchaser in each such instance and receiving the prior written consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(b) The obligation of Servicer (or of the applicable Seller to cause Servicer) to service any of the Purchased Assets shall cease, at Purchaser’s option, upon the earliest of (i) Purchaser’s termination of Servicer in accordance with Article 29(c), (ii) Purchaser not extending the related Seller’s revocable license in accordance with Article 29(a) or (iii) the transfer of servicing to any other Servicer and the assumption of such servicing by such other Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in connection with any termination of Servicer. Upon any termination of Servicer, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Sellers shall at their sole cost and expense transfer the servicing of the effected Purchased Assets to another Servicer designated by Purchaser as expeditiously as possible.

(c) Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate Servicer or any sub-servicer with respect to any Purchased Asset (i) upon the occurrence of a default by the Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default, either for cause or without cause, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without payment of any penalty or termination fee. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to effectuate the removal of any Servicer or any sub-servicer by Purchaser in accordance with this Article 29(c).

(d) Sellers shall not, and shall not permit Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Purchaser. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by a sub-servicer, the related Seller shall irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest (if any) in the servicing agreements with such sub-servicer to Purchaser; provided that Servicer may delegate certain non-cashiering administrative functions to third parties without Purchaser’s consent provided that Servicer at all times remains liable for such functions.

(e) Each Seller shall cause Servicer and any sub-servicer to service the Purchased Assets pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreement and any other applicable servicing agreement, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Each Seller shall cause any Security Agent engaged by such Seller to execute a letter agreement with Purchaser and Collateral Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit XI hereto or such other form as required by Collateral Agent (a “Redirection Letter”) acknowledging Purchaser’s security interest in the Purchased Assets and agreeing to remit all Net Cash Flow received with respect to the Purchased Asset to the applicable Collection Account in accordance with Article 5 or as otherwise directed by Purchaser in accordance with the applicable Redirection Letter. If a Borrower, Security Agent, issuer, servicer or other obligor forwards any Income with respect to a Purchased Asset to any Seller or to any of its Affiliates rather than directly to the applicable Collection Account, such Seller shall deliver an additional Redirection Letter to such Person, with a simultaneous copy to Servicer, Purchaser and Collateral Agent, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Person to forward such amounts directly to the applicable Collection Account.

(f) Each Seller agrees that, upon Purchaser’s purchase of each Purchased Asset, Purchaser is the owner of all servicing records related to the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to the applicable Servicing Agreement, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Each Seller covenants to (or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Servicer to) safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Purchaser or its designee (including the Custodian) at Purchaser’s request.

(g) The payment of servicing fees shall be solely the responsibility of Sellers and shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding and due to Purchaser under the Transaction Documents (except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents).

(a) Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of this Agreement, each party acknowledges and accepts that a BRRD Liability arising under this Agreement may be subject to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the relevant resolution authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by:

(i) the effect of the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the relevant resolution authority in relation to any BRRD Liability under this Agreement, that (without limitation) may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof:

(A) the reduction of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability or outstanding amounts due thereon;

(B) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the BRRD Liability into shares, other securities or other obligations of any Purchaser or another person, and the issue to or conferral on any Seller of such shares, securities or obligations;

(D) the amendment or alteration of any interest, if applicable, thereon, the maturity or the dates on which any payments are due, including by suspending payment for a temporary period.

(ii) the variation of the terms of this Agreement, as deemed necessary by the relevant resolution authority, to give effect to the exercise of Bail-in Powers by the relevant resolution authority.

(b) Each party acknowledges and accepts that this provision is exhaustive on the matters described herein to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements or understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and that no further notice shall be required between the parties pursuant to the Agreement in order to give effect to the matters described herein.

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Purchaser 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 Purchaser whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to create a security interest, Purchaser shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or, with respect to Foreign Purchased Assets, the equivalent Requirements of Law in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction, as applicable.

(b) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature pages to any Transaction Document or certification delivered pursuant thereto delivered in electronic form (such as PDF) shall be considered binding with the same force and effect as original signatures.

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

(d) 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.

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

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

(g) 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.

(h) Unless otherwise specifically enumerated, wherever pursuant to this Agreement Purchaser exercises any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to, Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall decide to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole and absolute discretion and such decision by Purchaser shall be final and conclusive.

(i) If Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction Documents, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Seller as will permit such payments to be made without

withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Purchaser, if reasonably requested by any Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Seller as will enable such Seller to determine whether or not Purchaser 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 this Article 32(a)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

(A) if Purchaser is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Sellers on or prior to the date on which Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Seller), executed copies or originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) if Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Sellers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by any Seller) on or prior to the date on which Purchaser becomes a party under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) executed copies or originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form thereof);

(3) in the case of a Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Purchaser is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Seller as described in Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Seller described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies or originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms thereof, as applicable); or

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

(C) if Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Sellers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by any Seller) on or prior to the date on which Purchaser becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Seller), executed copies or 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 Sellers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Seller as may be necessary for such Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Purchaser has complied with Purchaser’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.

Purchaser 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 and provide such successor form to Sellers, or promptly notify Sellers in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(b) 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 Agreement (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Agreement), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Agreement with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of

pocket costs and 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 Agreement (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 Agreement, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Purchaser, on the one hand, and each of the Sellers (as relevant), on the other hand, each confirm that it will take all steps (including without limitation the completion of procedural formalities) reasonably required by the other such that payments by the obligors in respect of the Foreign Purchased Assets can be made without deduction or withholding for or on account of tax so far as legally permissible.

(ii) Purchaser agrees that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will promptly notify the applicable Seller if Purchaser assigns or otherwise transfers any interest in any Foreign Purchased Asset where an individual holding the title of Managing Director or higher within the group at Purchaser that covers this Agreement has actual knowledge that to do so would or is likely to result in any increased deduction or withholding for or on account of tax from amounts payable by the obligors in respect of such Foreign Purchased Asset.

(d) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Article 32 shall survive any assignment of rights by Purchaser, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

(a) Each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable to Purchaser to the maximum extent permitted by Requirements of Law for all Repurchase Obligations, (ii) the liability of each Seller with respect to the Repurchase Obligations (A) shall be absolute and unconditional to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and shall remain in full force and effect, and be reinstated, until all Repurchase Obligations shall have been paid, performed and/or satisfied, as applicable, in full, and (B) until such payment, performance and/or satisfaction, as applicable, has occurred,

shall not be discharged, affected, modified or impaired on the occurrence from time to time of any event, including any of the following, whether or not with notice to or the consent of any Seller, (1) the waiver, compromise, settlement, release, termination or amendment (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment, performance, satisfaction, renewal or refinancing) of any of the Repurchase Obligations (other than a waiver, compromise, settlement, release or termination in full of the Repurchase Obligations), (2) the failure to give notice to any Seller of the occurrence of any nonpayment or other default, (3) the failure to make any demand for payment of any amounts owing to Purchaser by any other Seller, (4) the release, substitution or exchange by Purchaser of any Purchased Asset (whether with or without consideration) or the acceptance by Purchaser of any additional collateral or the availability or claimed availability of any other collateral or source of repayment or any non-perfection or other impairment of collateral, (5) the release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for all or any part of the Repurchase Obligations, whether by Purchaser or in connection with any Act of Insolvency affecting any Seller or any other Person who, or any of whose property, shall at the time in question be obligated in respect of the Repurchase Obligations or any part thereof, or (6) to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any other event, occurrence, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Article 33, result in the release or discharge of any or all Sellers from the performance or observance of any Repurchase Obligation, (iii) Purchaser shall not be required first to initiate any suit or to exhaust its remedies against any Seller or any other Person to become liable, or against any of the Purchased Assets, in order to enforce the Transaction Documents and each Seller expressly agrees that, notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing, each Seller shall be and remain directly and primarily liable for all sums due under any of the Transaction Documents, (iv) when making any demand hereunder against any Seller, Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Seller, and any failure by Purchaser to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any other Seller, or any release of any such other Seller shall not relieve any Seller in a respect of which a demand or collection is not made or Sellers not so released of their obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Purchaser against Sellers, and (v) on disposition by Purchaser of any Purchased Asset, each Seller shall be and shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Seller waives (i) any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any amounts at any time owing to Purchaser by any other Seller under the Transaction Documents, (ii) any and all notices of or proof of reliance by Purchaser upon any Seller or acceptance of the obligations of any Seller under this Article 33, and all such amounts, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the obligations of Sellers under this Article 33, (iii) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of nonpayment or other default to or upon any Seller with respect to any amounts at any time owing to Purchaser by any Seller under the Transaction Documents, other than such notices as are expressly required to be given under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(c) To the extent any Seller (a “Paying Seller”) shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Paying Seller hereby waives (i) any right to subrogation or set-off that it may acquire on account of such payment against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee and (ii) the right to seek contribution or reimbursement from any other Seller in respect such payment, in each case, until all Repurchase Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any Repurchase Obligations are outstanding, amount shall be held by Paying Seller in trust for Purchaser, segregated from other funds of Paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Paying Seller, be turned over to Purchaser in the exact form received by Paying Seller (duly indorsed by the Paying Seller to Purchaser, if required), to be applied against amounts owing to Purchaser by Sellers under the Transaction Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Purchaser may determine.

(d) With respect to any matter under the Transaction Documents for which (i) any consent or approval of a Seller is required, (ii) any notice to, or from, a Seller is required or (iii) any other undertaking is made by a Seller, unless otherwise specified with respect to such consent, approval, notice or undertaking, such action by (or notice to) any Seller shall be sufficient for all such purpose.

(a) Appointment. On the date hereof, pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, Purchaser has appointed Collateral Agent, as its agent under the Transaction Documents, with full authority and power to exercise, on Purchaser’s behalf, all of the rights and powers of Purchaser under the Transaction Documents, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In its capacity as Purchaser’s contractual representative, Collateral Agent is a “representative” of Purchaser as used within the meaning of “Secured Party” under Section 9-102 of the UCC.

(b) Qualified Collateral Agent. Pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, Collateral Agent represents and warrants to Purchaser that as of the date hereof and as of the Purchase Date and covenants that at all times while this Agreement or the Transaction is in effect, it is, and will be, a Qualified Collateral Agent.

(c) Liability of Collateral Agent. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Collateral Agent takes or omits to take any action which it is expressly permitted or required to take in its capacity as Collateral Agent of Purchaser under the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Transaction Documents, which results in any Purchaser breaching any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents in violation, in any material respect, of the express terms thereof, Seller may pursue the same remedies against the Collateral Agent as it would be entitled to pursue against any Purchaser in respect of such Purchaser’s breach as it would have if Article 36 did not apply, provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability hereunder or under the Transaction Documents for the failure of any Purchaser or any Noteholder to pay or fund any obligations of any Purchaser or any Noteholder under the Transaction Documents.

(d) Collateral Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent: (i) need not recognize any assignee of Purchaser’s interest hereunder unless and until it receives and accepts an assignment and acceptance entered into by Purchaser, as assignor, and an eligible assignee, as assignee; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Seller Party or Guarantor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to Purchaser and shall not be responsible to Purchaser for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Transaction Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Transaction Document on the part of any Seller Party or Guarantor or the existence at any time of any Default or Event of Default or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Seller Party or Guarantor; (v) shall not be responsible to Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Transaction Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (vii) shall not be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion or the opinion of its counsel, is contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable law.

(i) Purchaser agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Sellers) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, litigation, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, litigation, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as found in a final, non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to reimburse Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Sellers under Article 27, to the extent that Collateral Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Sellers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Article 34(e) applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Purchaser or any other Person. To the extent that Purchaser is more than one Person, the obligations of each Purchaser under this paragraph shall be several (and not joint) and each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its ratable share (based on outstanding Purchase Price) of such obligations.

(ii) The agreements and obligations of Purchaser contained in this Article 34(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of the Purchased Asset.

(f) Successor Collateral Agent. Any resignation, termination and appointment of a replacement Collateral Agent shall be performed in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement.

(g) Relationship of Collateral Agent and Purchaser. The relationship between Collateral Agent and Purchaser is not intended by the parties to create, and shall not create, any trust, joint venture or partnership relation between them.

(h) Collateral Agent Decisions and Approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, any consent or approval required or permitted by any Transaction Document shall be made by Collateral Agent, acting as agent of Purchaser, without consultation with, or consent or approval of, Purchaser, including with respect to (i) waivers, consents or amendments under the Purchased Asset Documents; (ii) Defaults and Events of Defaults; (iii) enforcement of remedies and (iv) any other waivers, consents or amendments arising under any Transaction Document.

(i) Data Protection. In compliance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the European Council and the Spanish Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data and the guarantee of digital rights, Collateral Agent hereby informs each other party hereto that, such party’s personal data included in this Agreement will be processed by Collateral Agent for the purpose of managing the contractual relationship, and of maintaining any relationship, with such party. This processing is necessary and based on Collateral Agent’s legitimate interest and on compliance with legal obligations. Such personal data will not be disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so and will be kept for as long as the contractual relationship remains in effect and thereafter until any liabilities arising therefrom have expired. The parties hereto may contact the Data Protection Officer of Banco Santander, S.A. at privacidad@gruposantander.es and exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, blocking, data portability and restriction of processing (or any other recognized by law) by email to scibprivacy@gruposantander.com. The Parties may also submit any claims or requests relating to the protection of personal data to the Spanish Data Protection Agency at www.aepd.es.

(j) Information Sharing. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge the disclosure to Affiliates of Collateral Agent of the information provided in the context of the due diligence process or “Know Your Customer,” along with any relevant transactions-related information, that allows such companies to comply with (i) Collateral Agent’s Financial Crime Compliance internal policies, (ii) their legal obligations relating to the anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing regulations and (iii) their regulatory reporting to the supervisory authorities. In this regard, the parties hereby guarantee that the data subjects of the personal data that may be included in the referred information have been duly informed of, and when required by applicable data protection regulation, have expressly consented to, the disclosure of their personal data to that effect.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or any non-disclosure, confidentiality or other agreements entered into between the parties from time to time, each party hereby consents to the Disclosure of information (the “Reporting Consent”):

(i) to Purchaser’s professional advisors, auditors and to any potential transferee of Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement or any Transaction;

(ii) to the extent required by, or necessary in order to comply with, any applicable law, rule or regulation which mandates Disclosure of transaction and similar information or to the extent required by, or necessary in order to comply with, any order, request or directive regarding Disclosure of transaction and similar information issued by any relevant authority or body or agency (“Reporting Requirements”); or

(iii) to and between the other party’s head office, branches or affiliates; to any person, agent, third party or entity who provides services to such other party or its head office, branches or affiliates; to a Market; or to any trade data repository or any systems or services operated by any trade repository or Market, in each case, in connection with such Reporting Requirements.

(b) Disclosures made pursuant to the Reporting Consent may include, without limitation, Disclosure of information relating to disputes over transactions between the parties, a party’s identity, and certain transaction and pricing data and may result in such information becoming available to the public or recipients in a jurisdiction which may have a different level of protection for personal data from that of the relevant party’s home jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set out herein, the Reporting Consent shall be deemed to constitute an agreement between the parties with respect to Disclosure in general and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No amendment to or termination of the Reporting Consent shall be effective unless such amendment or termination is made in writing between the parties and specifically refers to the Reporting Consent.

(a) it is not entitled to commence any proceedings against Purchaser related to its enforcement of this Agreement;

(b) it shall not have the right to take or join any Person in taking any steps against Purchaser for the purpose of obtaining payment of any amount due from Purchaser to it; and

(c) neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf shall initiate or join any Person in initiating any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or seek the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar official in relation to Purchaser.

With respect to each Purchaser, this Agreement shall become effective upon delivery by it of a counterpart of this Agreement executed by it and as of the effective date stated on the signature page of such Purchaser.

(b) that the Common Issuer Security is held by the Common Issuer Security Trustee for the benefit of all the Common Issuer Secured Creditors and that any Receiver shall be appointed by the Common Issuer Security Trustee for the benefit of all the Common Issuer Secured Creditors; and

Capitalized terms used in this Article 38 but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Master Definitions and Construction Module.

1. Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing Records are in the possession of the Servicer.

3. Purchased Asset File. The Purchased Asset File contains a true, correct and complete copy (or, if required by the Custodial Agreement, original) of each document evidencing or securing the Purchased Asset, or affecting the rights of any holder thereof. With respect to any document contained in the Purchased Asset File that is required to be recorded or filed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Custodial Agreement, such document is in form

suitable for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate jurisdiction and has been or will be recorded or filed as required by the Custodial Agreement.

4. Purchased Asset Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set forth in the related Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and contains all information required by the Transaction Documents to be contained therein.

B. Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Purchased Asset:

1. Whole Loans. Such Mortgage Loan is a whole Mortgage Loan and not a Participation Interest or other partial interest in a Mortgage Loan.

2. Loan Document Status. Each related Promissory Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument) and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Borrower in connection with such Purchased Asset is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower (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, (i) except as such enforcement may be limited by (a) anti-deficiency laws, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, redemption, liquidation, 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) except that certain provisions in such Purchased Asset 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 clauses (i) and (ii) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency Qualifications”).

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

3. Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage 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, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

4. Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement or license agreement include an executed copy of such franchise or license agreement as well as a comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Borrower and franchisor or licensor of such property enforceable by Purchaser or any subsequent holder of such Mortgage Loan (including a securitization trustee) against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office (or, with respect to Wet Purchased Assets, has been submitted for filing in such office).

5. Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or to the extent otherwise permitted in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement (a) the material terms of each Mortgage, Promissory Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related operative Purchased Asset 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 the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) the Borrower has not been released from its material obligations under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

6. Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Borrower. Each related Mortgage is (or, with respect to Wet Purchased Assets, upon the recording thereof in the appropriate recording office will be) a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Borrower’s fee (or if identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule, 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) or any other title exceptions identified to Purchaser in a Requested Exceptions Report (“Title Exceptions”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances or any Title Exceptions) as of the origination date of the related Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, 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, and, to Seller’s Knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and any other Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

7. Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage 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 or closing instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (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 with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), 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 Borrower’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 and no claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s Knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

8. Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured (and any other Purchased Asset that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with a Purchased Asset) by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than as permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (7) above), and equipment and other personal property financing and related Mezzanine Loan(s) which are also Purchased Assets under the Master Repurchase Agreement). Except for related Mezzanine Loan(s) which are also Purchased Assets under the Master Repurchase Agreement or as set forth on the related Purchased Asset Schedule, Seller has no Knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Borrower.

9. Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Purchased Asset File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates (or, with respect to Wet Purchased Assets, upon the recording thereof in the appropriate recording office, will create) 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 Borrower 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 Insolvency Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

10. UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, the related originator has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage 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 Borrower and located on such Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) upon recordation, 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.

11. Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within six (6) months of the Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date. Seller has no Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable loans, of any material damage to the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property (a) other than those disclosed in the engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Purchaser in accordance with Exhibit VII and (b) except to the extent that such material damage (i) has been repaired in all material respects, (ii) is addressed by the escrow of funds established in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrowed amount will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of the necessary repairs, or (iii) is fully covered by insurance (subject to any deductible).

12. 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.

13. Condemnation. As of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there is no 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.

14. Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and to Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Borrower, guarantor, or Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Borrower’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Borrower’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage 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 Asset Documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

15. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to such Mortgage Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or 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 the lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser.

16. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the related Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except for Future Advances identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule or in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

17. Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, “A3” from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A- “ from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (x) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (y) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the related Borrower 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 (as of the Purchased Date), and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than twelve (12) months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a maximum principal balance of $50 million or more, eighteen (18) months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Borrower is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within twenty-five (25) miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Borrower is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms.

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

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Purchased Asset Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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 related Purchase Date 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 Purchaser. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Borrower to maintain all such insurance and, at such Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense and to charge such Borrower for premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than ten (10) days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

18. Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, each Mortgaged Property (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 the Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower 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.

19. No Encroachments. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Mortgage 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, or after taking into account any applicable provisions of 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 were obtained under the Title Policy.

20. No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (in each case 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.

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

22. Compliance with Usury Laws. The Interest Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

23. Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the Promissory Note, each holder of the Promissory 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 Mortgage Loan by any holder thereof.

24. Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, 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.

25. 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, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage 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) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the related Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained in respect thereof in amounts customarily required by Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Borrower to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

26. Licenses and Permits. Each Borrower covenants in the Purchased Asset 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 upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar related commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Borrower to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27. Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Borrower (but may be affiliated with the Borrower) 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 Borrower; (ii) if Borrower or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Borrower or (iii) upon any voluntary transfer of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Borrower made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Borrower (but may be affiliated with the Borrower) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of Borrower’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) misappropriation of 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 an event of default under such Mortgage Loan)), insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the related Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

28. Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset 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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) [reserved], (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any Mortgage Loan identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents 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 the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Borrower’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan outstanding after the release, the Borrower 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 Mortgage Loan identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents 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 Borrower can be required to pay down the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Borrower 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 Mortgage Loan identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents as REMIC eligible, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

29. Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mortgage Loan require the Borrower 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) and annual 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 Mortgage Loan with more than one Borrower are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Borrower entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combined balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

30. Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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 such Mortgage Loan, the related Purchased Asset 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; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

31. Due-on-Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, such Mortgage Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage 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 Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions 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 Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Borrower, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Borrower, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Borrower, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph 28 herein or (vii) 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 Companion Interest in such Mortgage Loan or subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances; provided however, that the Mortgage Loan may provide a mechanism for the assumption of the Mortgage Loan by a third party upon the Borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and the payment of a required transfer fee. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Borrower is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

32. Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Borrower with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance in excess of $5 million as of the Purchase Date provide that the Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a maximum principal balance of $20 million or more as of the Purchase Date has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Borrower. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a maximum principal balance equal to $5 million or less as of the Purchase Date, its organizational

documents or the related Purchased Asset 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 Mortgage Loans 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 Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Borrower for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34. Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin (which Interest Rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate), except in situations where default interest may be imposed. For this purpose, “LIBOR” shall mean (a) the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period equal to thirty (30) days, which appears on appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or its equivalent) as the London Interbank Offering Rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable determination date or (b) if such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or its equivalent) as the London Interbank Offering Rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable determination date, then the arithmetic mean (rounded as aforesaid) of certain offered quotations of rates to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If LIBOR shall cease to be available pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above or to the extent it becomes unlawful for the lender to make or maintain LIBOR loans, (x) in the event there exists an alternative rate to replace LIBOR, the index rate of interest for such Mortgage Loan shall be a published index that the lender determines is then-currently used in making determinations of the Interest Rate for variable rate commercial loans, or (y) in the event there does not exist an alternative rate to replace LIBOR, the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the “Prime Rate.”

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

(a) The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage;

(b) The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the lender (except termination or cancellation if (i) notice of a default under the Ground Lease is provided to lender and (ii) such default is curable by lender as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period), and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan, except as reflected in any written instruments included in the related Purchased Asset File;

(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 the Borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or ten (10) years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage 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 does not, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or if such consent is necessary it has been obtained), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(f) Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to Seller’s Knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date;

(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 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 subpart (k)) 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 Purchased Asset 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage 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 a bankruptcy proceeding.

36. Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator or any interim servicer, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) with respect to the Mortgage Loan have at all times been, in all respects, legal and have met Accepted Servicing Practices.

37. Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof (to Seller’s Knowledge, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit V-A.

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

40. Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination (to Seller’s Knowledge, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) of such Mortgage Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, neither the Mortgaged Property (other than tenants of such Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Borrower, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

Except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized or cross defaulted with another Purchased Asset, to Seller’s Knowledge, no Mortgage Loan has a Borrower that is an affiliate of a Borrower under another Purchased Asset.

42. Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared during such period), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property as of the date of such ESA or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Borrower and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an

operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Borrower that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the related Purchase Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and/or Fitch Ratings Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Borrower was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Borrower having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44. Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within six (6) months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and, to Seller’s Knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

After origination of such Mortgage Loan, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Borrower other than in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Borrower or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on such Mortgage Loan (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Asset Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or the related Purchased Asset Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Borrower under such Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Purchase Date.

47. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

C. Mezzanine Loans. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan that constitutes a Purchased Asset:

1. Whole Loans. Such Mezzanine Loan is a whole Mezzanine Loan secured by Equity Collateral consisting of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct or indirect equity interests in the entity or entities that own directly or indirectly the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. No Mezzanine Loan is a Participation Interest or other partial interest in a Mezzanine Loan. The related Mortgage Loan complies with all of the representations and warranties set forth in Section (B) above and is also a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction under the Master Repurchase Agreement.

2. Mezzanine Loan Document Status. Each related Promissory Note and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Borrower in connection with such Mezzanine Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower (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 as such enforcement may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications.

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

3. Pledge Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Mezzanine Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Equity Interests of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by UCC foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

4. Mezzanine Loan Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or to the extent otherwise permitted in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement, (a) the material terms of the related pledge agreement, Promissory Note, guaranty, and the other Purchased Asset 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 Mezzanine Loan; (b) no related Equity Interests or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related pledge or other security agreement in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such agreement; and (c) the related Borrower has not been released from its material obligations under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

5. Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each assignment of Mezzanine Loan and agreements executed in connection therewith from Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each Mezzanine Loan is freely assignable without the consent of the related Borrower. Each pledge of collateral for the Mezzanine Loan creates (or, with respect to Wet Purchased Assets, upon the filing of a UCC financing statement in the applicable filing office, will create) a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in such collateral, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in 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.

6. UCC 9 Policies. Seller’s security interest in the Equity Interests is covered by a “UCC 9” insurance policy relating to the Mezzanine Loan (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma title policy or “marked up” commitment preliminary title policy with escrow or closing instructions, in each case binding on the issuer), and (i) such policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, (ii) all premiums thereunder have been paid, (iii) no claims have been made by or on behalf of Seller thereunder, and (iv) no claims have been paid thereunder. The originator of such Mezzanine Loan obtained a mezzanine endorsement to the “owner’s” title policy and an assignment of title proceeds in connection therewith.

7. Actions Concerning Mezzanine Loan. As of the date of origination of such Mezzanine Loan and to Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any related Borrower or guarantor, or the related Equity Interests, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Borrower’s title to such Equity Interests, (b) the related mortgage Borrower’s title to the related Mortgaged Property, (c) the validity or enforceability of the related Purchased Asset Documents, (d) such Borrower’s ability to perform under such Mezzanine Loan (or the related mortgage Borrower’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, as applicable), (e) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty or (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents.

8. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to such Mezzanine Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or 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 the lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser.

9. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of such Mezzanine Loan stated on the related Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except for Future Advances identified on the related Purchased Asset Schedule or in those cases where the full amount of the Mezzanine Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

10. No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mezzanine Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (in each case 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.

11. Compliance with Usury Laws. The Interest Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charges, exit fees, or prepayment premiums) of such Mezzanine Loan complied as of the date of origination of such Mezzanine Loan with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

12. Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Mezzanine Loan provide that such Mezzanine Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the related Borrower (but may be affiliated with such Borrower) that has assets other than the 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 related Borrower; (ii) if Borrower or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Borrower; or (iii) upon any voluntary transfer of the related Mortgaged Property, Equity Interests, or equity interests in the related Borrower made in violation of the related Purchased Asset Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Borrower and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the related Borrower (but may be affiliated with such Borrower) that has assets other than the equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of the Borrower’s (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mezzanine Loan; (ii) misappropriation of 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 an event of default under such Mezzanine Loan)), insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (iii) fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the related Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the related Mortgaged Property.

13. Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mezzanine Loan requires the related Borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as such Mezzanine Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Borrower with respect to each Mezzanine Loan with a maximum principal balance in excess of $5 million as of the Purchase Date provide that such Borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mezzanine Loan with a maximum principal balance of $20 million or more as of the Purchase Date has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of such Borrower.

15. Interest Rates. Each Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin (which Interest Rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate), except in situations where default interest may be imposed. For this purpose, “LIBOR” shall mean (a) the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for a period equal to thirty (30) days, which appears on appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or its equivalent) as the London Interbank Offering Rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable determination date or (b) if such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or its equivalent) as the London Interbank Offering Rate as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable determination date, then the arithmetic mean (rounded as aforesaid) of certain offered quotations of rates to prime banks in the London interbank market as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If LIBOR shall cease to be available pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above or to the extent it becomes unlawful for the lender to make or maintain LIBOR loans, (x) in the event there exists an alternative rate to replace LIBOR, the index rate of interest for such Mezzanine Loan shall be a published index that the lender determines is then-currently used in making determinations of the Interest Rate for variable rate commercial loans, or (y) in the event there does not exist an alternative rate to replace LIBOR, the rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the “Prime Rate.”

16. Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator or any interim servicer, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) with respect to the Mezzanine Loan have at all times been, in all respects, legal and have met Accepted Servicing Practices.

17. Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) with respect to such Mezzanine Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mezzanine Loan and the origination thereof (to Seller’s Knowledge, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit V-A.

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

19. Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination (to Seller’s Knowledge, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator) of each Mezzanine Loan and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, no related Borrower or guarantor is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

20. Organization of Borrower. With respect to such Mezzanine Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Borrower delivered by such Borrower in connection with the origination of such Mezzanine Loan, such Borrower is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Mezzanine Loan that is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with another Purchased Asset, to Seller’s Knowledge, no Mezzanine Loan has a Borrower that is an affiliate of another Borrower under another Purchased Asset.

21. Cross-Collateralization. No Mezzanine Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other loan, except any another Purchased Asset and only to the extent set forth on the related Purchased Asset Schedule.

After origination of such Mezzanine Loan, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Borrower other than in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Borrower or an affiliate of the related Borrower for, or on account of, payments due on such Mezzanine Loan (other than as contemplated by the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or the related Purchased Asset Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Borrower under a Mezzanine Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Purchase Date.

23. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan.

25. Not a Security. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan, such Mezzanine Loan has not been deemed, and is not, a “security” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

D. Senior Notes. With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Promissory Note, such note is a Senior Note (with no existing more-senior Promissory Note or Participation Interest) related to a Mortgage Loan or a Mezzanine Loan that complies with all of the representations set forth in Section (B) or (C) above, as applicable. If such Promissory Note is pari passu with any other Promissory Note, the holder of such Promissory Note is the Record Holder and the Controlling Holder as between such pari passu Promissory Note pursuant to a co-lender agreement that is legal, valid and enforceable as between its parties, subject to the limitations set forth in the Insolvency Qualifications.

If such Participation Interest is (i) a pari passu participation interest or (ii) a senior participation interest with respect to which no related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Mezzanine Loan, the related participation agreement provides that the holder of such Participation Interest is the Controlling Holder. If such Participation Interest is a senior participation interest with respect to which the related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Mezzanine Loan, the control rights granted to the holder of such junior participation pursuant to the related participation agreement are customary for holders of junior participations in commercial mortgage loans.

4. Costs and Expenses. If the Participation Interest is pari passu with any Companion Interest, the holder of such Companion Interest is required to pay its pro rata share of any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Mezzanine Loan upon request therefor by the holder of such Participation Interest (or the Record Holder or a servicer). If the Participation Interest is senior to any Companion Interests, the holder of such Companion Interest is required to bear any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Mezzanine Loan prior to the holder of such Participation Interest.

The Purchased Asset File with respect to such Participation Interest includes all material documents evidencing such Participation Interest and since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or to the extent otherwise permitted in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement, the terms of such documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any material respect except as set forth in the documents contained in the Purchased Asset File. Each assignment of the related Participation Certificate contained in the Purchased Asset File is in the form required by the related participation agreement or is otherwise sufficient to assign such Participation Certificate.

7. No Defaults or Waivers under Participation Documents. All amounts due and owing to any Companion Interest Holder pursuant to the related participation agreement or related documents have been duly and timely paid. (a) There is (i) no default, breach or violation existing under any participation agreement or related document, and (ii) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, or violation under any participation agreement or related document, and (b) no default, breach or violation under any participation agreement or related document has been waived, that, in the case of either (a) or(b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Participation Interest; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or violation that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit V-A. No person other than the holder of such Participation Interest or the related Companion Interests (or, in each case, a pledgee of any such Participation Interests) may declare any default, breach or violation under the applicable participation agreement or related documents.

8. Bankruptcy. As of the Purchase Date (to Seller’s Knowledge, if neither Seller nor an Affiliate thereof was the issuer of such Participation Interest), no issuer of such Participation Interest is a debtor in any outstanding in state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

9. No Known Liabilities. Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Participation Interest is or may become obligated.

11. No Repurchase. The terms of the related participation agreement do not require or obligate the holder of the Participation Interest or the Record Holder or their respective successors or assigns to repurchase any Companion Interest under any circumstances.

12. No Misrepresentations. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate thereof that is the issuer of such Participation Interest, in selling any Companion Interest to a Companion Interest Holder, committed any fraud or made any misrepresentation or omission of information Known to Seller or any Affiliate thereof necessary for a prudent commercial real estate lender to make an informed decision to purchase such Companion Interest.

13. UCC. Such Participation Interest (i) is not dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) does not by its terms expressly provide that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is not Investment Property, (iv) is not held in a Securities Account and (v) does not constitute a Security or a Financial Asset.

(c) Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor. This Guaranty may be enforced by Purchaser and any successor, endorsee, transferee or assignee of Purchaser permitted under the Master Repurchase Agreement and shall not be discharged by such permitted assignment or negotiation of all or part thereof.

(d) Satisfaction of Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor shall satisfy its obligations hereunder without demand, presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever. Subject to Articles II(a) and II(b), the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of any Seller, or any other party, against Purchaser or against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with such Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

(e) No Duty to Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Purchaser (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Purchaser), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any Seller or others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any other person, (ii) enforce or exhaust Purchaser’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) join any Seller or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Purchaser shall not be entitled to actually receive payment of the same amounts from both a Seller and Guarantor. Purchaser shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.

(f) Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and hereby waives notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Purchaser to any Seller or the purchase of any Purchased Asset by Purchaser from any Seller, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Master Repurchase Agreement or of any other Transaction Documents, (iv) the execution and delivery by any Seller and Purchaser of any other agreement or of any Seller’s execution and delivery of any other documents arising under the Transaction Documents or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) the occurrence of any breach by any Seller or an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents, (vi) Purchaser’s transfer or disposition of the Transaction Documents, or any part thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non-payment or default by any Seller, (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Purchaser and (x) except as otherwise provided herein or required by the terms hereof, all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Transaction Documents and any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver by Guarantor of any notice that Purchaser is expressly required to provide to Sellers or Guarantor or any other party pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(g) Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by Purchaser, pay Purchaser all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) actually incurred by Purchaser in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Article II(g) shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Purchaser must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by or on behalf of Purchaser in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Purchaser shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of each Seller and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by such Seller’s or Guarantor’s payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not so rescinded or Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

(i) Deferral of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably defers any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Purchaser), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any Seller or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than those Repurchase Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) which, by their express terms, survive termination of the Transaction Documents) and termination of the Transaction Documents. Guarantor hereby subordinates all of its subrogation rights against each Seller arising from payments made under this Guaranty to the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations due Purchaser for a period of ninety-one (91) days following the final payment of the last of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Master Repurchase Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than those Repurchase Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) which, by their express terms, survive termination of the Transaction Documents) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Purchaser, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to Purchaser in the exact form received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Purchaser, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Purchaser may determine.

(j) Seller. The term “Seller” or “Sellers” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of any Seller or any interest in any Seller.

Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, except to the extent required by the terms hereof, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation, except to the extent required by the terms hereof, rights to notice) which Guarantor might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:

(a) Modifications. Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Master Repurchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (other than this Guaranty), or any other document, instrument, contract or understanding between Sellers, Purchaser or any other parties, pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Adjustment. Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Purchaser to Sellers.

(d) Invalidity of Guaranteed Obligations. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability against any Seller of all or any part of the Master Repurchase Agreement or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (i) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, (ii) the officers or representatives executing the Master Repurchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, (iii) the applicable Seller has valid defenses (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations), claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from such Seller, (iv) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable or (v) the Master Repurchase Agreement, or any of the other Transaction Documents have been forged by any Person other than Purchaser, or any of its Affiliates or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether such Seller or any other person is found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason (other than by reason of a defense of payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(e) Release of Obligors. Any full or partial release of the liability of any Seller on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other person or entity now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other party, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement, as between Purchaser and Guarantor, that other parties will be liable to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that Purchaser will look to other parties to pay or perform the obligations of the applicable Seller under the Master Repurchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(f) Other Collateral. The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Care and Diligence. Except to the extent the same shall result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or illegal acts of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, the failure of Purchaser or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Purchaser (i) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (iii) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(i) Unenforceability. The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value of any of the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations.

(j) Offset. The liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Purchaser hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because of or by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations) of any Seller against Purchaser, or any other party, or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations).

(k) Merger. The reorganization, merger or consolidation of any Seller into or with any other corporation or entity.

(l) Preference. Any payment by any Seller to Purchaser is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Purchaser is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to any Seller or someone else.

(m) Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Except to the extent the same shall result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or illegal acts of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor shall not at any time until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than those Repurchase Obligations (including contingent reimbursement obligations and indemnity obligations) which, by their express terms, survive termination of the Transaction Documents) have been paid in full permit (as determined quarterly on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied):

(i) Maximum Indebtedness. The ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (A) Indebtedness of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter to (B) Total Assets of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, to exceed eighty three and a third percent (83.3333%).

(ii) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The ratio of (A) Guarantor’s EBITDA during the applicable Measurement Period to (B) Guarantor’s Fixed Charges during such Measurement Period shall not be less than 1.40:1.00, as determined as soon as practicable after the end of each Measurement Period, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter.

(a) Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Purchaser, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Purchaser hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by Purchaser and Guarantor and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand (except to the extent such a notice or demand is required by the terms hereof).

(b) Set-Off. Purchaser and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior written notice to Guarantor, to set-off, appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not Purchaser or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and although such obligations of Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Purchaser or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates under this Article VI(b) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that they may have. Purchaser shall give written notice to Guarantor of any set-off affected under this Article VI(b) to the extent it is not prohibited from doing so by applicable law.

(c) Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Guaranty, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if sent by (i) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (ii) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (iii) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery, or (iv) by electronic mail, to

the address specified below or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Article V(c); provided, however, at least one of the individuals identified in clause (i) of the definition of “Knowledge” in the Master Repurchase Agreement shall be an “attention” party for notices to Guarantor. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (x) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, (y) in the case of registered or certified mail or expedited prepaid delivery, when delivered, if on a Business Day, and otherwise on the next occurring Business Day, or upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (z) in the case of electronic mail, upon receipt of a verbal or electronic confirmation acknowledging receipt thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, any automatically generated email or any similar automatic response shall not constitute confirmation). A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article V(c) may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.
