(a)

Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of the Purchased Assets (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) and not loans from Buyers to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Administrative Agent and Buyers 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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items (as defined below) to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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 Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 27, and under the other Transaction Documents, and to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service the Purchased Assets in conformity with Article 29 and any other obligation of Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Purchased Asset serves as collateral for the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, under this Agreement and that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to realize on any or all of the Purchased Assets in order to satisfy the Seller’s obligations hereunder. Seller agrees to update in internal registers, books and records (including, without limitation, to mark its computer records and tapes) to reflect and evidence the interests granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder. All of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”:

(c)

The security interest of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in the Purchased Items shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith and the other Transaction Documents including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller repurchasing each Purchased Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, security interest in the Purchased Items shall not terminate upon Administrative Agent’s determination of the Market Value of any Purchased Asset to be zero. Upon such termination, Administrative Agent shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and shall promptly return the Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Purchased Items. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Administrative Agent to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder). Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to file a UCC financing statement naming Seller as debtor and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as secured party and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets now owned or hereafter acquired.”

After the expiration of such commercially reasonable efforts period, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certification that states, despite

Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, Seller was unable to obtain such original document, and thereafter Seller shall have no further obligation to deliver the related original document.

(c)

From time to time, Seller shall forward to Administrative Agent and to the Custodian additional copies of, originals of, documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian, and the Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee.

Such Revocable Option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of Seller in any Purchased Asset. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, and in each case subject to the provisions of the Purchased Asset Documents, the Revocable Option discussed above shall automatically terminate and thereafter Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets without

regard to Seller’s instructions (including, but not limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Seller, to the extent Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any servicer, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity satisfactory to Administrative Agent).

(a)

Title to all Purchased Items shall pass to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on the applicable Purchase Date, and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Items, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Article 19, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Items, and provided that no such transaction shall relieve Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Items to Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or of Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, obligations pursuant to Article 19 hereof.

On the Purchase Date for any Transaction for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from Seller and any Transaction hereunder and at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

thereunder that at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, unless otherwise stated herein:

(i)

Organization. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of Seller’s incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Seller’s business, except where failure to so qualify could not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has the power to own and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, and to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, and has the power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(iv)

Non-Contravention; Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, nor consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Transaction Documents (or any of them) will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the organizational documents of Seller, (B) violate or conflict with any contractual provisions of, or cause a default or event of default under, any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage, contract or other material agreement to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be bound to which Seller is now a party, (C) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien or any other encumbrance of any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (D) conflict with any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Seller, or (E) conflict any applicable Requirement of Law to the extent that such conflict or breach referred to in clause (E) would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

(v)

Litigation; Requirements of Law. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or any of its assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or threatened against Seller that (A) may, individually or in the aggregate, result in any Material Adverse Effect, (B) may have an adverse effect on the validity of the Transaction Documents or any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Seller under any of the Transaction Documents or (C) requires filing with the SEC in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder. Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law. Seller is not in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

(vii)

Good Title to Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Article 8 102(a)(1) of the UCC), and Seller is the record and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall be the equitable owner of such Purchased Assets free of any adverse claim. In the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a valid security interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets (and without limitation on the foregoing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the Purchased Assets).

(A)

As of the date hereof, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Asset to any other Person, and immediately prior to the sale of such Purchased Asset to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Seller was the sole owner of such Purchased Asset and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all Liens, and any impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder.

(B)

The provisions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation are effective to either (1) constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or (2) in the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, to create in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items, and in such event, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Items (and without limitation on the foregoing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the Purchased Items).

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of such Mortgage Note, or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in the Purchased Items described therein.

X attached hereto, the security interests granted hereunder in that portion of the Purchased Items which can be perfected by filing under the UCC will constitute fully perfected security interests under the UCC in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items.

(H)

With respect to each Purchased Asset purchased by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller from a Transferor, (a) such Purchased Asset was acquired and transferred pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, (b) such Transferor received reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer of such Purchased Asset, (c) no such transfer was made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such Transferor to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, (d) no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code, and (e) if Seller acquired the Purchased Asset from a Transferor, unless such Transferor is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Guarantor, Seller has delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an opinion of counsel regarding the true sale of the purchase of such Asset by Seller and, if such Asset was acquired by Seller’s Affiliate from a Transferor, the true sale of the purchase of the Asset by the Affiliate of Seller from such Transferor, which opinions shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (f) the representations and warranties made by such Transferor to Seller or such Affiliate in such Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis and are hereby remade by Seller to Administrative Agent and Buyers on each date as of which they speak in such Purchase Agreement. Seller or such Affiliate of Seller has been granted a security interest in each such Purchased Asset, filed one or more UCC financing statements against the Transferor to perfect such security interest, and assigned such financing statements in blank and delivered such assignments to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or Custodian.

Exceptions Report, Seller or its designee is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Asset File with respect to each Purchased Asset, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian.

(J)

The Purchased Assets constitute the following, as applicable, as defined in the UCC: a general intangible, instrument, investment property, security, deposit account, financial asset, uncertificated security, securities account, or security entitlement. Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements filed against Seller as debtor that include the Purchased Assets, other than any financing statement that has been terminated or filed pursuant to this Agreement.

(xi)

Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as of each Purchase Date, adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereof, is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they become due, and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Seller in the last ten (10) years, and Seller has not in the last ten (10) years made an assignment on behalf of creditors or taken advantage of any debtors relief laws. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

(xii)

Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration by Seller with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (A) the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction Document to which Seller is or will be a party, (B) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Transaction Document against Seller or (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made as applicable, and the filing of certain financing statements in respect of certain security interests).

(xvi)

Taxes. Seller has timely filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material Tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all Taxes (whether or not shown on a return), which have become due, except for Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller has satisfied all of its withholding Tax obligations. No Tax Liens are currently filed against any assets of Seller and no claims are currently being asserted in writing against Seller with respect to Taxes (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or liens or claims with respect to Taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP).

(xviii)

Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by Seller for purposes permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used by Seller to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. Neither the entering into of any Transaction nor the use of any proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, any provision of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(xx)

All financial data concerning Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly in accordance with GAAP. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased Assets, or in the results of operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller.

(xxiii)

No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon any advice from Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions.

(b)

Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the prior written request of Administrative Agent, it shall (A) execute and deliver such further documents, provide such additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to insure compliance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with the USA Patriot Act and to fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and (B) provide such opinions of counsel concerning matters relating to this Agreement as Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided, however, that nothing in this Article 9(b)(xxiv) shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to conduct any inquiry or decreasing Seller’s responsibility for its statements, representations, warranties or covenants hereunder. In order to enable Administrative Agent, Buyers and their respective Affiliates to comply with any anti-money laundering program and related responsibilities including, but not limited to, any obligations under the USA Patriot Act and regulations thereunder, Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates makes the foregoing representations and covenants to Administrative Agent, Buyers, and their respective Affiliates, that neither Seller, nor, any of its Affiliates, is a Prohibited Investor and Seller is not acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any Prohibited Investor.

(i)

At the option of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”).

(A)

Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date without presentment or demand of any kind, which are hereby expressly waived, and all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) deposited in the Depository Account shall be retained by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and applied in accordance with Article 5(d);

(iii)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 13(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or behalf of Buyers, in connection with Seller’s default, including without limitation, all costs of collection associated with the interpretation and enforcement of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents; (w) second, to actual, out-of-pocket damages incurred by Administrative Agent and/or Buyers, in connection with Seller’s default, (x) third, to the Repurchase Price; (y) fourth, to any Breakage Costs; and (z) fifth, to return any excess to Seller.

(iv)

The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that 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, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to liquidate any Purchased Assets 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 Administrative Agent or Buyers.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and/or Buyers shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Administrative Agent or Buyers under this Agreement, without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s and/or Buyers’ right to recover any deficiency.

(viii)

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent or Buyers to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of non-judicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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.

determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Seller.

(b)

Illegality. 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 Administrative Agent or any Buyer to enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the commitment of Administrative Agent or any Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions or, if such adoption of or change in Requirement of Law makes it unlawful for Administrative Agent or any Buyer to continue to maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent or any Buyer, by an amount that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, 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, Seller shall promptly pay Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Administrative Agent and/or such Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that any such determination by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and imposition of such increased costs shall be applied to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Administrative Agent. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(d)

Capital Adequacy. If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have 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 Administrative Agent or any Buyer or any corporation controlling Administrative Agent or such Buyer 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 does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Administrative Agent’s or such Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Administrative Agent’s or such Buyer’s or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Administrative Agent’s or such Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Administrative Agent to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Administrative Agent or such Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that any such determination by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and imposition of such increased costs shall be applied to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Administrative Agent. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(e)

Dodd-Frank; Basel III. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines or directives promulgated in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities pursuant to Basel III, in each case are deemed to be an adoption of or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(f)

Breakage Costs. If Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the last day of a Pricing Rate Period, Seller shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Buyers and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from any actual out-of-pocket losses, costs and/or expenses which Administrative Agent or any Buyer sustains as a direct consequence thereof (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error. This Article 14(f) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder.

(g)

Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law (including FATCA). If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Seller, then Seller shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 14) each applicable

Buyer or Transferee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(j)

Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify each Recipient and each Transferee, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Article 14) payable or paid by each Recipient or such Transferee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient or Transferee and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by a Buyer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Buyer, or such Transferee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(k)

Status of Buyers and Assignees. Any Buyer or Assignee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Buyer or Assignee, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer or Assignee 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 Articles 14(k)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in any Buyer’s or Assignee’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Buyer or such Assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer or such Assignee.

(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)

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

(3)

in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and

(4)

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

(C)

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

(D)

if a payment made to any Buyer or Transferee under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or Transferee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer or Transferee shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section

1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Buyer or Transferee has complied with such Buyer’s or Transferee's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FACTA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Buyer and each Assignee 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, provide such successor form or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(l)

Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 Article 14(l) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 14(l)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Article 14(l) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Article 14(l) (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 Article 14(l), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 14(l) 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.

Assignment of Certain Rights. If Administrative Agent, any Buyer or Assignee requests compensation under this Article 14 or, if Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to Administrative Agent, any Buyer or any Assignee or any Governmental Authority for the account of Administrative Agent, any Buyer or Assignee pursuant to Article 14(d), or if Administrative Agent, any Buyer or Assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to Administrative Agent, such Buyer or Assignee, require Administrative Agent, such Buyer or Assignee to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article 18), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Article 3(g) or Article 14(c)) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Buyer, if such Buyer accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Buyer, shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for all Transactions, Price Differential accreted with respect thereto, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Repurchase Price principal and accreted Price Differential and fees) or Seller (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Article 14(c) or payments required to be made pursuant to Article 3(g), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Buyer or Assignee shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or Assignee or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of, and in reliance upon, the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller agrees (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 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BUYERS AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BUYERS AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE 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.

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 hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery or (d) by telecopier (with answerback acknowledged) provided that such telecopied notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth above. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (w) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (x) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or (z) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 17. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Article 17 may elect to waive in writing any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

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)

Subject to Article 19(b) below, Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be null and void ab initio. Any Buyer may, without consent of Seller, sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of such Buyer under this Agreement. Any Buyer may, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Person (an “Assignee” and together with Participants, each a “Transferee” and collectively, the “Transferees”) all or any part of its rights its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of such Buyer under this Agreement, provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) any such Transferee shall not be a Prohibited Transferee, (y) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with Administrative Agent’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and (ii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall retain sole decision-making authority under the Transaction Documents. Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or any other Person for any cost or expense relating to any such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent 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, this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale, all at no expense to Seller; provided, that any such amendments will not materially increase Seller’s obligations hereunder or materially adversely affect Seller’s rights hereunder.

(b)

Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain, at its offices at the address set forth on Annex I attached hereto (including electronically), a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement (as the same may be modified by any Co-Buyer Agreement) of any Assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, Administrative Agent, Buyers and the Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, Administrative Agent, Buyers and any Assignee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice during normal banking business hours.

(c)

If any Buyer sells a participation Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement of each Participant (the “Participant Register”); provided that Administrative Agent 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 ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent (i) disclosing the portion of the Participant Register relating to a Participant with respect to which a claim for additional amounts is made under Articles 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(d) or 14(f), or (ii) otherwise to the extent such disclosure is reasonably expected to be necessary to establish that such ownership rights in the Transactions or any other interests under this Agreement are 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 Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no sale, assignment, transfer or participation pursuant to this Article 19 shall be effective unless and until reflected in the Register or Participant Register, as applicable.

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.

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 here from shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Articles 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

(a)

If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

(c)

By entering into a Transaction, pursuant to this Article 22, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Administrative Agent and Buyers that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not disclosed to Administrative Agent, and (ii) to agree to provide Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

(a)

The parties intend and recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code (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 the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). The parties intend (i) for each Transaction to qualify for the “safe harbor” treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Administrative Agent and each Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Article 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) that Administrative Agent and each Buyer (for so long as each party is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Sections 546, 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” and a “master netting agreement” including (x) the rights, set forth in Article 13 and in Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Article 13 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(o) and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)

It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 13 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Assets as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(d)

Each party hereto further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract,” and/or “master netting agreement,” or each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except in so far as the type of Purchased Assets subject to the Transactions or, in the case of a “repurchase agreement,” the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable.

(e)

It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“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).

(g)

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (a) to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and (b) that the Purchased Assets are and will continue to be owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law (in which case the party with knowledge of such requirement shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement).

(a)

PURSUANT TO, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH, SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK STATE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NON 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.

(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 HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT EACH MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND IRREVOCABLY 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. 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. 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 SUCH PARTY TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

Each of Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller 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:

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, each Buyers and each of their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) 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, incurred and paid by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of, or in connection with, or relating to the Transaction Documents including this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and indemnify Administrative Agent and Buyers 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; provided, that Seller

shall not be liable for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Administrative Agent and/or Buyers in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent, as and when billed by Administrative Agent, for all Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with Administrative Agent;s, on behalf of Buyers, due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, those incurred pursuant to Article 28 and Article 3 (including, without limitation, all Pre-Purchase Legal Expenses, even if the underlying prospective Transaction for which they were incurred does not take place for any reason) and the enforcement or the preservation of Administrative Agent’s and Buyers’ rights under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller. This Article 27 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, Indemnified Amounts, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs or expenses.

Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Primary Servicer and any other servicer or sub-servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to continuing due diligence on the Purchased Assets, which shall be paid by Seller to Administrative Agent within thirty

(30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Seller also shall make available to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets; provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not contact any Mortgagor of an Eligible Asset with respect to a proposed Transaction or a Purchased Asset, any related sponsor or other obligor, any related tenant or any other loan party, without Seller’s prior consent. Administrative Agent or any Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent, on

behalf of Buyers, and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Upon a written demand therefor by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller, Seller further agrees that Seller shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after such a demand) reimburse Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets.

(a)

Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including the Primary Servicer) shall service the Assets for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, successors and assigns. The appointment of each servicer of any Purchased Asset shall be subject to the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, (other than the initial Primary Servicer that has been pre-approved). Seller shall cause each such servicer (including the Primary Servicer) to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and for the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; provided that, without prior written consent of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as required by Article 7(d) no servicer (including the Primary Servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall take any action with respect to any Purchased Asset described in Article 7(d) other than pursuant to a Revocable Option.

(b)

Seller agrees that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, is the owner of all servicing records, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing agreements (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement relating to the servicing of any or all of the Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, valuations, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”), so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee at Administrative Agent’s request.

(d)

Seller shall not employ sub-servicers or any other servicer other than Primary Servicer pursuant to the Primary Servicing Agreement to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by such an Administrative Agent approved sub-servicer or any other servicer, Seller shall, irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest (if any) in the servicing agreements in the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Seller shall cause all servicers and sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a direct agreement with Administrative Agent acknowledging Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub- servicer shall transfer all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and so long as any Purchased Asset is owned by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereunder, following notice from Administrative Agent to Seller and each such servicer of an Event of Default under this Agreement, each such servicer (including Primary Servicer) or sub-servicer

shall take no action with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as specifically directed by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers.

(i)

Each of Seller and each Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent has been appointed the Administrative Agent for the Transactions, and each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to act as agent for and in the best interest of Buyers and to take such actions as Buyers are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. This Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture between Administrative Agent and any Buyer. In performing its functions and duties under the Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Buyers and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Seller.

(ii)

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

(iii)

In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Article 30, each Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Buyer (i) to enter into Transaction Documents and any amendments or modifications thereof, (ii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and Transaction Documents to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve Administrative Agent’s, on behalf Buyers, Liens therein, (iii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and the Transaction Documents to transfer the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and (iv) to execute instruments of release and terminations or to take other action necessary to release liens upon any Purchased Asset. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Article 30(b)(iii) to Administrative Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Transaction Documents remain in effect.

(iv)

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

(i)

If Administrative Agent notifies any Buyer or other recipient that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Buyer or other recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such recipient (whether or not known to such recipient) (any such funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment” and any such recipient, an “Unintended Recipient”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Unintended Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar

doctrine. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Unintended Recipient under this Section 30(d)(i) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(C) that such Unintended Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) or such funds are otherwise inconsistent with such recipient’s expectations, then in each case, an error shall be presumed to have been made and such funds shall be presumed to be an Erroneous Payment and such Buyer shall be deemed to be an Unintended Recipient absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Unintended Recipient shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. Each Buyer agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such funds (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Unintended Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iv)

Administrative Agent and each Buyer hereby agree that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Unintended Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, then Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Unintended Recipient with respect to such amount and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or any other party to the Transaction Documents.

(e)

Ratable Share. The liabilities of each Buyer under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be several and not joint, no Buyer shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Buyer, and each Buyer shall be liable to Seller only for its respective pro rata share of the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that each Buyer shall be solely responsible for the funding of its pro rata portion of any Transaction, advance or any other amounts required pursuant to the terms of the Co-Buyer Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Seller and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Buyer in accordance with its share of the Transactions.

In addition, Seller agrees to pay Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Depository Account and registering the Purchased Items in the name of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, under this Agreement.

(e)

Seller shall be deemed directly indebted to Administrative Agent, Buyers or their respective Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Administrative Agent, Buyers or their respective Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, and Administrative Agent, Buyers or their respective and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above.

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

(1)

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Asset.

(2)

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

realization against the Underlying Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

(4)

Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Asset 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.

(5)

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

(6)

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

(7)

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

(9)

Assignment of Leases. 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 the Permitted Encumbrances, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. No Person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Asset, 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. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Underlying Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security

interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC-1 financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property and each UCC-2 or UCC-3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

(11)

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

(12)

Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, 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 Paragraph (12), 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.

(14)

Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination 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 Mortgagor, guarantor, or the Underlying Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the

related Purchased Asset Documents, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (g) the current ability of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Purchased Asset or (h) the current principal use of the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

(15)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its servicer. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Asset Documents as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Asset Documents.

(16)

No Holdbacks. The principal balance of the Purchased Asset set forth on the Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed, except for any future funding per the Purchased Asset Documents, as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Asset 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursements of any such escrow fund made on or prior to the date hereof.

(17)

Insurance. Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Asset and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property.

Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months);

(ii) for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Underlying Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

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

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

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s in an amount not less than 150% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Each related Purchased Asset obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other

related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(18)

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Underlying 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 Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Purchased Asset Documents has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.

(19)

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

(21)

REMIC. The Purchased Asset 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 Purchased Asset to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Asset and (b) either: (i) such Purchased Asset 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 Purchased Asset was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date or (B) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset 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 Purchased Asset and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Asset; or (ii) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Asset (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 Purchased Asset was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (i) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Asset or (ii) satisfies the provisions of either clause (b)(i)(A) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Asset was originated) or clause (b)(i)(B), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Asset constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G- 1(b)(2). All terms used in this Paragraph (21) shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

(24)

Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Asset, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

(25)

Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset, there are no material violations of applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, building codes, restrictions and land laws (collectively, “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Underlying Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or

repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(26)

Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Underlying Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

(27)

Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that: (a) the related Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Underlying Mortgaged property that are not de minimis) shall be fully liable for losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, which acts generally include the following:

(i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misappropriation of rents (following an event of default), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (iv) intentional misconduct and (v) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Loan Documents, and (b) the Purchased Asset shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), upon any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or nay similar federal or state law, shall be filed, consented to, or acquiesced in by the Mortgagor, (ii) Mortgagor and/or its principals shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) upon the transfer of either the Underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents.

(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 Underlying 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) 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Underlying Mortgaged Property which

will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Asset and are not necessary for physical access to the Underlying Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (a) or (d), either: (i) such release of collateral (A) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Purchased Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and

(B) would not cause the subject Purchased Asset to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (ii) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (i). For purposes of the preceding clause (i), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Underlying Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Asset outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the provisions governing a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in Section 860D of the Code (the “REMIC Provisions”).

In the event of a taking of any portion of a Underlying Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Purchased Asset in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, awards are not required to be applied to the restoration of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Purchased Asset.

No such Purchased Asset that is secured by more than one Underlying Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Purchased Asset 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 each Purchased Asset require the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single- tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in- place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements with respect to each Purchased Asset with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

(30)

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset 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 (collectively, the “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Asset, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business

interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) does not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the 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 the TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset, 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, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph (28) herein, or

(vii) to the extent set forth in any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise.

and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Asset with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $5 million or more provide that the borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of

$20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Paragraph (32), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational 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 Purchased Assets and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Underlying Mortgaged Property or 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 Underlying 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, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(34)

Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit III, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

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

(a)

(i) the Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage and (iii) no material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instrument which are included in the related Purchased Asset File;

(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 or modified, or canceled or terminated, 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 Purchased Asset except as reflected in any written instruments which are 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 Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Purchased Asset, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Purchased Asset fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Purchased Asset that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(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 Paragraph (34)(k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Underlying 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 Purchased Asset, 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest; and

(36)

Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Asset have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Asset and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local laws and regulations relating to the origination of such Purchased Asset. At the time of origination of such Purchased Asset, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with each Purchased Asset complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily loans.

(37)

Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. Seller has obtained a rent roll (other than with respect to hospitality properties) certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. Seller has obtained operating histories (the “Certified Operating Histories”) with respect to each Underlying Mortgaged Property certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. The Certified Operating Histories collectively report on operations for a period equal to (a) at least a continuous three-year period or (b) in the event the Underlying Mortgaged Property was owned, operated or constructed by the Mortgagor or an affiliate for less than three years then for such shorter period of time.

(38)

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

specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

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

(41)

Environmental Conditions. At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Underlying Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Underlying Mortgaged Property.

A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized “environmental conditions” as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor (the “Environmental Conditions”) at the related Underlying Mortgaged

Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true:

(A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-“ (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property.

In the case of each Purchased Asset with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance has been issued by the issuer set forth in the related Exception Report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii) (A) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or

(2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Purchased Asset.

(42)

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

(43)

Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six months of the Purchased Asset origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute. 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 and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Asset.

(46)

Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Purchased Asset (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 Purchased Asset Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Asset, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
