ARTICLE 3 THE TRANSACTIONS Section 3.01 Procedures. (a) From time to time during the Revolving Period, but not more frequently than twice per week, with not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Buyer, Seller may request Buyer to enter into a proposed Transaction by sending Buyer a written notice of such request (which notice may be given via email) (such request, a “Transaction Request”), which Transaction Request shall: (i) describe the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related underlying Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii)

-44- transmit, either in electronic or physical format, a complete Underwriting Package for each proposed Asset, (iii) set forth the Representation Exceptions requested, if any, with respect to each proposed Asset, and (iv) indicate the amount of all then-currently unfunded future funding obligations, and the portion thereof expected to be funded by Buyer under Section 3.10. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer (in electronic or physical format) any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer. Buyer shall conduct such review of the Underwriting Package and each such Asset as Buyer determines appropriate. Buyer shall determine whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions. In connection with such review and determination, Buyer may also consider the pro forma effect that acquiring the proposed Purchased Asset would have on the concentrations of specific asset categories. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of all such representations and warranties and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting Package, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting Package will only be acceptable to Buyer if disclosed in writing (in electronic or physical format) to Buyer by Seller in advance of the related Purchase Date, and then only if Buyer opts to purchase the related Purchased Asset from Seller notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies. In the event of a Representation Breach with respect to a particular Purchased Asset, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days from the earlier of (i) notice to Seller from Buyer or Servicer or (ii) Seller’s otherwise having Actual Knowledge of such Representation Breach, repurchase the related Asset or Assets in accordance with Section 3.05. (b) Buyer shall give Seller notice (in electronic or physical format) of the date when Buyer has received a complete Transaction Request, together with the Underwriting Package, supplemental materials and any other documentation required pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or otherwise required under any Repurchase Documents. Buyer shall endeavor to communicate to Seller a preliminary non-binding determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase (i) any single Eligible Asset, and if so, on what terms and conditions, within five (5) Business Days after such date, and (ii) two (2) or more proposed Eligible Assets within ten (10) Business Days after such date, and if its preliminary determination is favorable, by what date Buyer expects to communicate to Seller a final non-binding indication of its determination. If Buyer has not communicated its final non-binding indication to Seller by such date, Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase any such Asset. (c) If Buyer communicates to Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (in electronic or physical format) an executed preliminary Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Asset and its proposed Purchase Date, Market Value, Applicable Percentage, Maximum Applicable Percentage, Maximum Purchase Price, Purchase Price and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require prior to the Purchase Date. If Buyer requires changes to the preliminary Confirmation, Seller shall make such changes and re-execute the preliminary Confirmation. If Buyer determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the preliminary Confirmation, Buyer shall promptly execute and return the same to Seller, which shall thereupon become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction. Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Asset on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt,

-45- Buyer shall not (i) be bound by any preliminary or final non-binding determination referred to above, (ii) be deemed to have approved the purchase of an Asset by virtue of the approval or entering into by Buyer of a rate lock agreement, Interest Rate Protection Agreement, total return swap or any other agreement with respect to such Asset, or (iii) be obligated to purchase an Asset notwithstanding a Confirmation executed by the Parties unless and until all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer. (d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible, but in no way shall be construed as evidence of Buyer’s agreement subsequently to purchase additional amounts of, or other, Assets. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. Whenever the Applicable Percentage or any other term of a Transaction (other than the Pricing Rate, Market Value and outstanding Purchase Price) with respect to an Asset is revised or adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such revision or adjustment and that is otherwise acceptable to the Parties shall be prepared by Seller and executed by the Parties. (e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise with respect to any representations or warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Asset is not an Eligible Asset. (f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit subject to a Margin Call, Default, Event of Default, Market Disruption Event, Material Event or Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing or would exist as a result of such Transaction unless any such Margin Deficit, Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect is cured simultaneously with the consummation of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction would be later than the Facility Termination Date, (iii) the proposed Purchased Asset does not qualify as an Eligible Asset, (iv) after giving effect to such Transaction, (A) the proforma aggregate outstanding Repurchase Price of all Transactions (after giving effect to such proposed Transaction) would exceed the Maximum Amount, or (B) any Sub-Limit has been or would be exceeded, (v) the Revolving Period Expiration Date has occurred, (vi) if Buyer determines not to enter into any such Transaction for any reason or for no reason, or (vii) all Purchased Asset Documents have not been delivered to Custodian (or a Bailee) in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, (viii) the Facility Debt Yield Test is either then-currently being breached (unless such breach would be cured in its entirety by the entering into of such Transaction) or would be breached after giving effect to such Transaction, or (ix) the proposed Purchased Asset does not comply with either the Minimum Purchased Asset Debt Yield Requirement or the Maximum Purchased Asset PPV Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any LIBOR Based Transaction be entered into on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer in its sole discretion.

-46- (g) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01, solely with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, a copy of the related Transaction Request shall be delivered by Seller to Bailee (in electronic or physical format) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Purchase Date, to be held in escrow by Bailee on behalf of Buyer pending finalization of the Transaction.

-47- be a true and correct copy of the original. For the avoidance of doubt (A) Seller shall, in all cases, deliver the original Mortgage Note or, in the case of a Senior Interest consisting of a participation interest, the original participation certificate to Buyer within three (3) Business Days of the applicable Purchase Date and (B) Buyer may, but shall not obligated to, consent to such later date for delivery of any part of the Mortgage Asset File as Buyer sees fit, in Buyer’s sole discretion. (i) In the event that Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered on the applicable Purchase Date, any Interim Assignment Document that is required by its terms to be recorded, due to a delay caused solely by the public recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation, then Seller shall deliver to Custodian (x) on the applicable Purchase Date, a copy thereof (certified by Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording), with evidence of the submission thereof for recording and (y) within thirty (30) days of the applicable Purchase Date, either the original of such document, or a photocopy thereof, with official evidence of submission for recording (including stamp filed copies, if applicable) thereon.

Subject to this Agreement, during the Revolving Period Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re--sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but Seller may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Buyer has the right to designate each Servicer of the Purchased Assets. The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Documents. To the extent any additional limited liability company is formed by a Division of Seller (and without prejudice to Sections 8.01, 8.03 and 9.01 hereof), Seller shall cause each such Division LLC to sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer on a servicing released basis and for no additional consideration all of each such Division LLC’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights in the same manner and to the same extent as the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment by Seller on each related Purchase Date of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. Section 3.03 Maximum Amount. The aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets as of any date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. If the aggregate outstanding Purchase

-48- Price for all Purchased Assets as of any date of determination exceeds the Maximum Amount, Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer an amount necessary to reduce such aggregate outstanding Purchase Price to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Amount. Section 3.04 Early Repurchase Date; Mandatory Repurchases; Optional Repurchases; Partial Repurchases. Seller may terminate any Transaction with respect to any or all Purchased Assets and repurchase such Purchased Assets on any date prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, that (a) Seller notifies Buyer and any related Affiliated Hedge Counterparty (in electronic or physical format) at least three (3) Business Days before the proposed Early Repurchase Date identifying the Purchased Asset(s) to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price thereof, (b) Seller delivers to Buyer a certificate from a Responsible Officer of Seller in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer certifying that no Margin Deficit subject to a Margin Call, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would exist as a result of such repurchase, there are no other Liens on the remaining Purchased Assets or Pledged Collateral other than Liens granted pursuant to the Repurchase Documents, and such repurchase would not cause Seller to violate the Facility Debt Yield Test, (c) if the Early Repurchase Date is not a Remittance Date, Seller pays to Buyer any amount due under Section 12.03 and pays all amounts due to any related Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under the related Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (d) no Repurchase Obligations are then-currently due and payable from Seller to Buyer, and (e) Seller pays to Buyer any Exit Fee due in accordance with Section 3.07, if any, and Seller thereafter complies with Section 3.05.

Such early terminations and repurchases shall be limited to two (2) occurrences in any calendar week. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Repurchase Document, at any time during the existence of any unsatisfied Margin Deficit that is subject to a Margin Call, or an uncured Default or Event of Default that would not otherwise be fully cured after giving effect to the related repurchase and application of funds in accordance with Article 5 of this Agreement, Seller shall only be permitted to effect the repurchase and release of a Purchased Asset in connection with either (i) a full payoff of all amounts due in respect of such Purchased Asset by the Underlying Obligor, or (ii) a sale of such Purchased Asset to an unaffiliated third party purchaser purchasing on an arm’s length basis, unless, in each case, Seller pays directly to Buyer an amount equal to either (x) 100% of the net proceeds paid in connection with the relevant payoff by the Underlying Obligor or any Affiliate thereof or (y) 100% of the net proceeds received by Seller from an unaffiliated third-party purchaser purchasing on arm’s length terms in connection with the sale of such Purchased Asset, as applicable. The portion of all such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be applied by Buyer to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer, as determined in its discretion, under this Agreement. In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under any Repurchase Document, Seller shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.04 and

-49- Section 3.05, within five (5) Business Days from the earlier of (x) notice to Seller from Buyer or Servicer or (y) Seller’s otherwise having Actual Knowledge thereof, (i) repurchase any Purchased Asset that either (a) no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset, as determined by Buyer, or (b) for which all documents required to be delivered to Custodian under the Custodial Agreement have not been so delivered on a timely basis, or (ii) make a partial or complete repurchase of one or more of the Purchased Assets to the extent necessary to cure a breach of a Sub-Limit during the Revolving Period.

On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset, Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of the Repurchase Date, and pay all amounts due to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under the related Interest Rate Protection Agreement and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no unsatisfied Margin Deficit subject to a Margin Call exists, Buyer shall transfer to Seller such Purchased Asset, whereupon such Transaction with respect to such Purchased Asset shall terminate; provided, however, that, with respect to any Repurchase Date that occurs on the second Business Day prior to the maturity date (as defined under the related Purchased Asset Documents with respect to such Purchased Asset) for such Purchased Asset by reason of clause (d) of the definition of “Repurchase Date”, settlement of the payment of the Repurchase Price and such amounts may occur up to the second Business Day after such Repurchase Date; provided, further, that Buyer shall have no obligation to transfer to Seller, or release any interest in, such Purchased Asset until Buyer’s receipt (including by payment to the Waterfall Account) of payment in full of the Repurchase Price therefor. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon receipt by Buyer of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due and owing to Buyer and its Affiliates under this Agreement and each other Repurchase Document as of such Repurchase Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Asset, shall authorize Custodian (in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement) to release to Seller (or its designee) the Purchased Asset Documents for such Purchased Asset and, to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against Seller specifically identifies such Purchased Asset, Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset from Buyer’s security interest therein. Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer except that Buyer shall hereby be deemed to represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder, that Buyer was the owner of such Purchased Asset, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by Buyer. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Servicer, Buyer or Deposit Account Bank after payment of the Repurchase Price therefor shall be remitted to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall repurchase all Purchased Assets no later than the Facility Termination Date by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations. Section 3.06 Facility Termination Date Extension Options; Maximum Amount Upsize Option.

-50- (a) Facility Termination Date Extension Options. At the request of Seller delivered to Buyer in writing (in electronic or physical format) no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the then-current Facility Termination Date, provided that the Extension Conditions set forth below are fully satisfied both on the date of Seller’s written request and as of the then-current Facility Termination Date, Seller shall have two (2) separate, consecutive options to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date, each such option for a period of one (1) year (each, an “Extension Period”). Any extension of the Facility Termination Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (each, an “Extension Condition”): (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no unsatisfied Margin Call shall be outstanding, (iii) Seller shall have made a timely written request to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date as provided in this Section 3.06(a), (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test, (v) if requested by Buyer, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to Seller to the extent that Seller qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and (vi) Seller has paid to Buyer the Extension Fee on or before the then-current Facility Termination Date. If the Extension Conditions are not fully satisfied as of the then-current Facility Termination Date, then notwithstanding any prior approval by Buyer to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date, Seller shall have no right to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date, and any pending request to extend the then-current Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to be denied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06(a), in no event shall the Facility Termination Date be extended for more than two (2) Extension Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, an extension of the Facility Termination Date pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) (i) shall become effective on the then-current Facility Termination Date, and (ii) shall not extend the Repurchase Date of any Transaction other than by operation clause (a) of the definition of “Repurchase Date”). (b) Maximum Amount Upsize Option. At the request of Seller, Buyer may agree in its sole and absolute discretion to one or more separate increases of the Maximum Amount (each an “Upsize Option”), in each case, by giving written notice thereof to Seller approving such requested increase. Any such request by Seller shall specify the requested increase amount, which shall be in increments of $50,000,000, and the proposed effective date for such increase. In no event shall the Maximum Amount be increased to an amount greater than $500,000,000 in the aggregate. Buyer may approve or deny any such request in its sole discretion, and any failure of Buyer to respond in writing to such request on a timely basis shall be deemed to be a denial thereof by Buyer. Seller’s request(s) to exercise any Upsize Option will be deemed to be denied if, on or before the date of such request or on or before the proposed effective date of such request (the “Upsize Date”) (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) an unpaid Margin Deficit exists, (iii) the Facility Debt Yield Test is not satisfied or (iv) Buyer has requested a new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification, as applicable, in relation to Seller (to the extent Seller qualifies as a “legal entity customer”), and Seller has failed to provide such new or updated Beneficial Ownership Certification to Buyer.

-51- No request to exercise an Upsize Option shall be effective until Seller has paid to Buyer an amount equal to the applicable Upsize Fee, which Upsize Fee shall be due and payable on or prior to the Upsize Date. Section 3.07 Payment of Price Differential and Fees. (a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that each Transaction hereunder constitute a sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets subject thereto, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued value of the Price Differential for each Purchased Asset on each Remittance Date. In addition thereto, interest shall accrue on all past due amounts otherwise due from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement at a rate equal to the Pricing Rate plus five percent (5%). Buyer shall give Seller notice of the Price Differential and any fees and other amounts due under the Repurchase Documents on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day preceding each Remittance Date; provided, that Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice shall not affect (i) the accrual of such obligations in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) Seller’s obligation to pay such amounts. If the Price Differential includes any estimated Price Differential, Buyer shall recalculate such Price Differential after the Remittance Date and, if necessary, make adjustments to the Price Differential amount due on the following Remittance Date. (b) The terms and conditions related to the payment by Seller to Buyer of certain fees and expenses are set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter. In addition thereto, Seller shall pay to Buyer all fees and other amounts as and when due, as set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation: (i) the Structuring Fee, which shall be fully earned by Buyer on the Closing Date, and due and payable to Buyer by Seller, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein by reference; (ii) the Non-Utilization Fee which shall be due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which terms and provisions are incorporated by reference; (ii) (iii) the Extension Fee, which shall be fully earned on, and due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3.06(a); (iii) (iv) the Exit Fee, which shall be fully earned on, and due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with, the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which terms and provisions are incorporated by reference; and (iv) (v) the Second Amendment Structuring Fee, which shall be due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein by reference;

-52- (v) the Fourth Amendment Structuring Fee, which shall be due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein by reference; and (vi) the Upsize Fee, which shall be fully earned on, and due and payable to Buyer by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3.06(b). Section 3.08 Payment, Transfer and Custody. (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Seller, Sponsor, Pledgor, Guarantor or any other Person under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day when due, in immediately available Dollars and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, and if not received before such time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment under the Repurchase Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment. Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, pay to Buyer interest in connection with any amounts not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents, which interest shall be calculated at a rate equal to the Default Rate, until all such amounts are received in full by Buyer. Amounts payable to Buyer and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Servicer Account shall be deposited into an account of Buyer (including the Waterfall Account). Seller shall have no rights in, rights of withdrawal from, or rights to give notices or instructions regarding Buyer’s account or the Waterfall Account or the Servicer Account. (b) Any Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian on the relevant Purchase Date and subsequently received or held by or on behalf of Seller are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its agent for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof until so delivered to Buyer or Custodian. Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of such Purchased Asset Documents and the originals of the Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian. The possession of Purchased Asset Documents by Seller or its agent is in a custodial capacity only at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of assisting the related Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. Each Purchased Asset Document retained or held by or on behalf of Seller or its agent shall be segregated on Seller’s books and records from the other assets of Seller or its agent, and the books and records of Seller or its agent shall be marked to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer on a servicing-released basis. Seller or its agent shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset Documents only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets by Servicer or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller, in each case in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. Section 3.09 Repurchase Obligations Absolute. All amounts payable by Seller under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any

-53- reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (a) any damage to, destruction of, taking of, restriction or prevention of the use of, interference with the use of, title defect in, encumbrance on or eviction from, any Purchased Asset, the Pledged Collateral or related Mortgaged Property, (b) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest, or any action taken with respect to any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest, or by any court in any such proceeding, (c) any claim that Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise, (d) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document or other agreement with Seller, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Asset, Repurchase Document or Purchased Asset Document, or (f) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller has notice or Knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller and Pledgor, and limited recourse to Guarantor to the extent of, and subject to the specified full-recourse provisions set forth in, the Guarantee Agreement. This Section 3.09 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations. Section 3.10 Future Funding Transactions. Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Future Funding Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, both immediately prior to entering into such Future Funding Transaction and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof: (i) Seller shall give Buyer written notice (in electronic or physical format) of each Future Funding Transaction, together with a signed, written confirmation in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto prior to the related Future Funding Date (each, a “Future Funding Confirmation”), signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation shall identify the related Whole Loan and/or Senior Interest, shall identify Buyer and Seller, shall set forth the requested Future Funding Amount, and shall be executed by both Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Future Funding Confirmation that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Future Funding Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible. If terms in a Future Funding Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Future Funding Transaction such Future Funding Confirmation shall prevail. (ii) For each proposed Future Funding Transaction, no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Future Funding Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, either in electronic or physical format, a Future Funding Request Package. Buyer shall have the right to conduct an additional due diligence investigation of the Future Funding Request Package and/or the related Whole Loan and/or Senior Interest as Buyer determines. Buyer shall be entitled to make a determination, in the exercise of Buyer’s

-54- sole and absolute discretion whether, in the case of a Future Funding Transaction, it shall or shall not advance the requested Future Funding Amount. If Buyer determines not to advance a requested Future Funding Amount with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall promptly satisfy all future funding obligations with respect to each Purchased Asset as and when required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, together with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the approval of each proposed Future Funding Transaction by Buyer, Buyer shall have determined, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, that (A) all of the applicable conditions precedent for a Transaction, as described in Section 6.02, have been met by Seller, (B) the Facility Debt Yield Test is in compliance both before and after giving effect to the proposed Transaction, (C) the related Purchased Asset is not a Defaulted Asset, (D) the related Purchased Asset satisfies the Maximum Purchased Asset PPV Requirement and the Minimum Purchased Asset Debt Yield Requirement both before and after giving effect to the proposed Transaction and (E) all related conditions precedent set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or otherwise, Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Future Funding Transaction (even with respect to any Purchased Asset identified on the applicable Purchase Date as having future funding obligations). Any determination to enter into a Future Funding Transaction shall be made in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. (iii) Upon the approval by Buyer of a particular Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a signed copy of the related Future Funding Confirmation described in clause (i) above, on or before the related Future Funding Date. On the related Future Funding Date, which shall occur no later than three (3) Business Days after the final approval of the Future Funding Transaction by Buyer (a) if an escrow agreement has been established in connection with such Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the related escrow account, (b) if the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents provide for a reserve account in connection with future advances, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the applicable reserve account and (c) if Seller has funded (or caused to be funded) the entirety of the future funding obligation to which such Future Funding Amount relates and provided Buyer with written evidence thereof, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to Seller, or otherwise, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount directly to the related Underlying Obligor. (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Future Funding Transaction be permitted hereunder at any time after the expiration of the first Extension Period, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Future Funding Transaction be entered into with respect to any LIBOR Based Transaction on or after the Third Amendment Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer in its sole discretion. Section 3.11 Additional Advances. The terms and provisions governing Additional Advances are set forth in Section 4 of the Fee Letter, and are incorporated by reference herein.

-55- ARTICLE 4 MARGIN MAINTENANCE Section 4.01 Margin Deficit. (a) With respect to any Purchased Asset or group of Purchased Assets, if on any date either of the following has occurred (I) for any individual Purchased Asset (X) a Credit Event with respect to such Purchased Asset has occurred and (Y) an amount equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage for such Purchased Asset, multiplied by its Market Value, is less than the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of such date, or (II) one or more of the Purchased Assets has caused Seller to violate the Facility Debt Yield Test (the amount of any shortfall under clause (I) or the amount necessary to cure any violation under clause (II), a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer shall have the right from time to time as determined in its sole discretion to make a margin call on Seller (a “Margin Call”) in an amount equal to the amount of the related Margin Deficit; provided that, (i) prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, Buyer shall only make a Margin Call if the related Margin Deficit or Margin Deficits exceeds the Material Impairment Threshold, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Buyer shall not make any Margin Call under clause (I) above in connection with any Purchased Asset that accrues interest at a floating rate to the extent that the related Margin Deficit resulted from interest rate changes and/or credit spread movements, and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), Buyer shall be permitted to make Margin Calls hereunder in connection with multiple assets at the same time. In lieu of the satisfaction by Seller of a Margin Call under clause (I) above through the payment of cash or in combination with Seller’s payment of cash, Buyer may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, upon a written request of Seller that satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (w) through (z) below (to be received prior to the date that the related Margin Deficit is due), to reallocate any then-currently available Margin Excess in order to eliminate the related Margin Deficit by increasing the Purchase Price of a Purchased Asset with the related Margin Excess and decreasing the Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset that is the subject of the related Margin Call. Any such written request for reallocation shall include the following, with such back-up calculations as Buyer may require: (w) the Purchased Asset(s) with respect to which Margin Excess exists and the amount of such Margin Excess that Seller requests be re-allocated, (x) the Purchased Asset to which Seller is requesting such Margin Excess be applied, the new Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset and the new Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset with the related Margin Excess, in each case, after giving pro forma effect to such allocation, (y) the amount of the Margin Deficit on the Purchased Asset to which such Margin Excess is to be applied both immediately prior to and immediately after giving pro forma effect to such allocation and (z) a certification from Seller that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (except as would be cured by such reallocation). Upon Buyer's independent confirmation, to be made in Buyer’s sole discretion, that the Margin Excess Requirements have been satisfied and the conclusions and calculations set forth in Seller's written request comply with the requirements set forth above, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reallocate the related Margin Excess to those Purchased Assets for which Margin Deficits would otherwise exist, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion, and, immediately

-56- thereafter, Seller shall execute and deliver new Confirmations acceptable to Buyer reflecting the new Purchase Price of all affected Purchased Assets. (b) To the extent any Margin Deficit that is subject to a Margin Call under Section 4.01(a)(I) above is not eliminated by way of a Margin Excess reallocation pursuant to Section 4.01(a), or in the case of any Margin Call under Section 4.01(a)(II) above, in each case, Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after notice from Buyer that a Margin Call has occurred (provided that, if such notice is delivered to Seller after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), such three (3) Business Day period shall commence on the Business Day following Buyer’s delivery thereof), at Seller’s option (i) transfer cash to Buyer, (ii) repurchase Purchased Assets at the Repurchase Price thereof, or (iii) choose any combination of the foregoing, so that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases and payments, the related Margin Deficit is fully cured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall available Margin Excess in respect of any LIBOR Based Transaction be reallocated (i.e., in such a way that the Purchase Price of any such LIBOR Based Transaction would be increased) at any time to cure in whole or in part a Margin Deficit relating to (x) any SOFR Based Transaction or (y) any LIBOR Based Transaction where such reallocation would result in an increase to the Purchase Price of any LIBOR Based Transaction with a Repurchase Date that is later than the Repurchase Date of the LIBOR Based Transaction in respect of which such Margin Deficit exists. (c) In no case shall Buyer’s forbearance from delivering a Margin Call at any time there is a Margin Deficit be deemed to waive such Margin Deficit or in any way limit, stop or impair Buyer’s right to deliver a Margin Call at any time when the same or any other Margin Deficit exists on the same or any other Purchased Asset. Buyer’s rights under this Section 4.01 are cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents or Requirements of Law. (d) All cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be deposited into the Waterfall Account, except as directed by Buyer, and notwithstanding any provision in Section 5.02 to the contrary, shall be applied to reduce the Purchase Price of either (i) in connection with any Margin Deficit under Section 4.01(a)(I), the Purchased Asset to which such Margin Deficit relates, or (ii) in connection with any Margin Deficit under Section 4.01(a)(II), to the unpaid Purchase Price(s) of such Purchased Asset(s) as Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion. Immediately after the satisfaction by Seller of each Margin Call hereunder, Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver the appropriate amended and restated Confirmations. ARTICLE 5 APPLICATION OF INCOME Section 5.01 Waterfall Account; Servicer Account. The Waterfall Account and the Servicer Account shall be established at Deposit Account Bank.

Neither Seller nor any Person claiming through or under Seller shall have any claim to or interest in either the Waterfall Account or the Servicer Account. All Income received by Seller, Buyer, any Servicer or Deposit Account Bank in respect of the Purchased Assets that consists of Significant Principal Payments shall be transferred, subject to the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement, by Servicer from the Servicer Account into the Waterfall Account promptly, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and all such Income other than Significant Principal Payments shall be transferred, subject to the applicable provisions of the Servicing Agreement, by Servicer from the Servicer Account into the Waterfall Account promptly, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days prior to the next Remittance Date (unless Servicer is an entity other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, in which case all such transfers shall be made within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof). All such Income, once deposited in the Waterfall Account, shall be applied to and remitted by Deposit Account Bank in accordance with this Article 5. Section 5.02 Before an Event of Default. If no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Income described in Section 5.01 and deposited into the Waterfall Account during each Pricing Period, shall be applied by Deposit Account Bank by no later than the next following Remittance Date in the following order of priority; provided that, upon written notice (in electronic or physical format) from Seller to Buyer and Deposit Account Bank, requesting distribution of Income consisting of Significant Principal Payments that has been credited to the Waterfall Account, no more than once in any Pricing Period, such Income consisting of Significant Principal Payments shall be applied by Deposit Account Bank within two (2) Business Days following receipt of such notice, in each case, in the following order of priority: first, to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential accrued with respect to all Purchased Assets as of such Remittance Date; second, to pay to Buyer an amount equal to all default interest, late fees, fees, expenses and Indemnified Amounts then due and payable from Seller and other applicable Persons to Buyer under the Repurchase Documents; third, to pay to Buyer an amount sufficient to eliminate any outstanding Margin Deficit that is subject to a Margin Call (without limiting Seller’s obligation to satisfy a Margin Deficit that is subject to a Margin Call in a timely manner as required by Section 4.01); fourth, to pay to Buyer all unpaid Release Amounts (if any) payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to be applied by Buyer to reduce the then-current unpaid Repurchase Prices of one or more of the remaining Purchased Assets, as Buyer shall determine in its discretion; fifth, to pay to Buyer the Applicable Percentage of any Principal Payments (to the extent actually deposited into the Waterfall Account), to be applied to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price of each related Purchased Asset;

-58- sixth, to pay any custodial and servicing fees and expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement and any Servicing Agreement; seventh, to pay to Buyer any other amounts due and payable from Seller and other applicable Persons to Buyer under the Repurchase Documents; and eighth, to pay to Seller any remainder for its own account, subject, however, to the covenants and other requirements of the Repurchase Documents; provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing on such Remittance Date, all amounts otherwise payable to Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Waterfall Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to the Deposit Account Bank that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Deposit Account Bank shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority eighth; and (y) the day that the related Default becomes an Event of Default, at which time the Deposit Account Bank shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Section 5.03. Section 5.03 During an Event of Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Income deposited into the Waterfall Account in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Deposit Account Bank, on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which each amount of Income is so deposited, in the following order of priority: first, to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential accrued with respect to all Purchased Assets as of such date; second, to pay to Buyer an amount equal to all default interest, late fees, fees, expenses and Indemnified Amounts then due and payable from Seller and other applicable Persons to Buyer under the Repurchase Documents; third, to pay any custodial and servicing fees and expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement and any Servicing Agreement; fourth, to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets (to be applied in such order and in such amounts as determined by Buyer, until the Aggregate Amount Outstanding has been reduced to zero); and (ii) to pay to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty an amount equal to all termination payments payable with respect to each related Interest Rate Protection Agreement; fifth, to pay to Buyer all other Repurchase Obligations due to Buyer; and sixth, to pay to Seller any remainder; provided, that if Buyer has exercised the remedies described in Section 10.02(d)(ii) with respect to any or all Purchased Assets, Seller shall not be entitled to any proceeds from any eventual sale of such Purchased Assets.

-59- Section 5.04 Seller to Remain Liable. If the amounts remitted to Buyer as provided in Sections 5.02 and 5.03 are insufficient to pay all amounts due and payable to Buyer or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or any Repurchase Document on a Remittance Date, a Repurchase Date or Facility Termination Date, whether due to the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for payment of all such amounts when due.

Section 7.03 Solvency. None of Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or Sponsor is or has ever been the subject of an Insolvency Proceeding. Each of Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor, Sponsor is Solvent and the Transactions do not and will not render Seller and Pledgor, Guarantor, or Sponsor not Solvent. Seller is not entering into the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or Sponsor. Seller has received or will receive reasonably equivalent value for the Repurchase Documents and each Transaction.

Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due.

All such financial statements, including related schedules and notes, were prepared in accordance with GAAP except as disclosed therein. Guarantor has no material contingent liability or liability for taxes or any long term lease or unusual forward or long term commitment, including any Derivatives Contract, which is not accounted for in the foregoing statements or notes unless the foregoing is not required in accordance with GAAP.

All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, in each case, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified. Section 7.07 Compliance with Laws. Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor and Guarantor have complied in all respects with all Requirements of Law, and no Purchased Asset contravenes any Requirements of Laws. None of Seller, Sponsor, Guarantor nor any Subsidiaries or Parents of Seller, Sponsor or Guarantor, and to the knowledge of Seller, Sponsor or Guarantor, no Affiliate of Seller, Sponsor or Guarantor (i) is in violation of any Sanctions or (ii) is a Sanctioned Target. The proceeds of any Transaction have not been and will not be used, directly or indirectly, to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to a Sanctioned Target or otherwise in violation of Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller (a) is a “broker” or “dealer” as defined in, or could be subject to a liquidation proceeding under, the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, or (b) is subject to regulation by any Governmental Authority limiting its ability to incur the Repurchase Obligations. No properties presently or previously owned or leased by Seller, or to the

-66- Knowledge of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor, or any of their respective predecessors, contain or previously contained any Materials of Environmental Concern that constitute or constituted a violation of Environmental Laws or reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor thereunder. Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor and Guarantor each have no Knowledge of any violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor under any Environmental Law. Materials of Environmental Concern have not been Released, on properties presently or previously owned or leased by Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor, in violation of Environmental Laws or in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to liability of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor thereunder. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller are in compliance with all Anti-Corruption Laws. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller has made, offered, promised or authorized a payment of money or anything else of value (a) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (b) to any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, or (c) with the intent to induce the recipient to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any other Person, in violation of any Anti- Corruption Law. Section 7.08 Compliance with ERISA. (a) None of Seller, Sponsor, Pledgor or Guarantor has any employees as of the date of this Agreement. Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors, participates in or contributes to (or has an obligation to contribute to), or has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in or contributed to (or had any obligation to contribute to), or has any liability in respect of, a Plan or a Multiemployer Plan. (b) Each of Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor either (i) qualifies as a VCOC or a REOC, (ii) complies with an exception set forth in the Plan Asset Regulations such that the assets of such Person would not be subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) does not hold any “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations that are subject to ERISA. (c) Assuming that no portion of the Purchased Assets are funded by Buyer with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations (unless Buyer is relying on an applicable and appropriate prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied), none of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Documents will constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Buyer to any tax or penalty or prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA. Section 7.09 No Default or Material Adverse Effect. No Default exists on the Closing Date, each Purchase Date, each Future Funding Date, the date of each Additional Advance and on the date of each reallocation of Margin Excess and no Event of Default exists. No default or “event of default” (however defined) exists under any Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligations or Contractual Obligations of Seller. Seller believes

-67- that it is and will be able to pay and perform each agreement, duty, obligation and covenant contained in the Repurchase Documents and Purchased Asset Documents to which it is a party, and that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law that would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has no Knowledge of any actual development, event or other fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, other than any such development, event or fact with respect to which Seller has delivered detailed written notice thereof to Buyer. No Internal Control Event has occurred. Seller has delivered to Buyer all underlying servicing agreements (or provided Buyer with access to a service, internet website or other system where Buyer can successfully access such agreements) with respect to the Purchased Assets, and to Seller’s Knowledge no material default or “event of default” (however defined) exists thereunder. No “event of default” (however defined) on the part of Guarantor, Sponsor or Pledgor exists under any credit facility, repurchase facility or substantially similar facility that is presently in effect, to which Guarantor, Sponsor or Pledgor is a party, other than any such “event of default” with respect to which Seller has delivered written notice thereof to Buyer. Section 7.10 Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. Each representation and warranty of Seller set forth in the Repurchase Documents (including in Schedule 1 applicable to the Class of such Purchased Asset) and the Purchased Asset Documents with respect to each Purchased Asset is true and correct, except as otherwise disclosed in writing on the executed copy of the related Confirmation. The review and inquiries made on behalf of Seller in connection with the next preceding sentence have been made by Persons having the requisite expertise, knowledge and background to verify such representations and warranties. Seller has complied with all requirements of the Custodial Agreement with respect to each Purchased Asset, including delivery to Custodian of all required Purchased Asset Documents. No Purchased Asset is or has been the subject of any compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, subordination, rescission, setoff, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deduction, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning such Purchased Asset or otherwise, by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, any Transferor, any Underlying Obligor, Guarantor or any other Person. The purchase of each proposed Purchased Asset was underwritten in accordance with and satisfies applicable standards established by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller. None of the Purchased Asset Documents has any marks or notations indicating that it has been sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer. If any Purchased Asset Document requires the holder or transferee of the related Purchased Asset to be a qualified transferee, qualified institutional lender or qualified lender (however defined), Seller meets such requirement. Assuming that Buyer also meets such requirement, the assignment and pledge of such Purchased Asset to Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Documents do not violate such Purchased Asset Document. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller have sold and transferred all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Assets to Buyer. At Buyer’s election at any time during the term of this Agreement, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to Seller, Buyer may, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, complete and

-68- record any or all of the Blank Assignment Documents as further evidence of Buyer’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets. Section 7.11 Purchased Assets Acquired from Transferors.

If such Purchased Asset was acquired by Seller or such Affiliate of Seller via a Purchase Agreement and the related Transferor has therein granted a security interest in each such Purchased Asset to either Seller or such Affiliate, then Seller or such Affiliate has filed one or more UCC financing statements against the Transferor to perfect such security interest, assigned such financing statements in blank and delivered such blank assignments to Buyer or Custodian. Section 7.12 Transfer and Security Interest. The Repurchase Documents constitute a valid and effective transfer to Buyer of all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under all Purchased Assets (together with all related Servicing Rights), free and clear of any Liens. With respect to the protective security interest granted by Seller in Section 11.01, upon the delivery of the Confirmations and the Purchased Asset Documents to Custodian, the execution and delivery of the Controlled Account Agreement and the filing of the UCC financing statements as provided herein, such security interest shall be a valid first priority perfected security interest to the extent such security interest can be perfected by possession, filing or control under the UCC. Upon receipt by Custodian of each Purchased Asset Document required to be endorsed in blank by Seller and payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price for the related Purchased Asset, Buyer shall either own such Purchased Asset and the related Purchased Asset Documents or have a valid first priority perfected security interest in such Purchased Asset Document. The Purchased Assets constitute the following, 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 sold, assigned, pledged, granted a security interest in, encumbered or otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased Assets to any Person other than pursuant to the Repurchase Documents. Seller has not authorized the filing of and has no Knowledge 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.

Section 7.15 Separateness. Seller is in compliance with the requirements of Article 9. Section 7.16 Investment Company Act. None of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor is required to be registered as, or is controlled by, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, or otherwise required to register thereunder. Seller is not relying on an exemption from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act. Section 7.17 Location of Books and Records. The location where Seller keeps its books and records, including all computer tapes and records relating to the Purchased Assets is its chief executive office.

Prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Seller may withdraw from the Hedge Account any amounts representing Permitted Withdrawals. With respect to any Other Permitted Withdrawal, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior to the applicable withdrawal date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice of its intent to make such Other Permitted Withdrawal which notice, at a minimum, provides evidence that the amounts remaining on deposit in the Hedge Account are at least equal to the aggregate amount of collateral, including any variation margin payments, returned by the related Hedge Counterparties to Seller (and not otherwise re- delivered to such Hedge Counterparties) that relate to Interest Rate Protection Agreements entered into by Seller with respect to Assets that remain Purchased Assets, and as soon as practicable thereafter any documentation related thereto reasonably requested by Buyer. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days, from the later of (x) receipt of such notice or (y) receipt of any related documentation requested by Buyer, to notify Seller that, in Buyer's reasonable discretion, it has determined that the withdrawal is not an Other Permitted Withdrawal. In such event, Seller shall not be permitted to make such Other Permitted Withdrawal. If Buyer does not object to such Other Permitted Withdrawal within such two (2) Business Day period, Seller shall be permitted to withdraw from the Hedge Account any amounts representing the Other Permitted Withdrawal set forth in Seller's previously delivered notice.

Section 10.02 Remedies of Buyer as Owner of the Purchased Assets. If an Event of Default exists, at the option of Buyer, exercised by notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to be exercised, even if no notice is given, automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f)), the Repurchase Date for all Purchased Assets shall be deemed automatically and immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to be exercised, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the foregoing option: (a) All Repurchase Obligations shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date and Buyer may, upon the delivery of notice thereof to Seller, terminate this Agreement, except provisions of this Agreement which by their terms survive any such termination of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. (b) All Income in the Waterfall Account and the Servicer Account related to each Purchased Asset other than any Purchased Asset specific escrow accounts, together with all Income paid after the Accelerated Repurchase Date, shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5. (c) Buyer may complete any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Asset Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on behalf of Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Files, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or any Servicer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request. (d) Buyer may immediately, at any time, and from time to time, exercise either of the following remedies with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets: (i) sell such Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and/or without providing any representations and warranties on an “as-is where is” basis, in a recognized market and by means of a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer accepts, and apply the net proceeds thereof in accordance with Article 5, or (ii) retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit against the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets (or if the amount of such credit exceeds the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets, to credit against Repurchase Obligations due and any other amounts (without duplication) then owing to Buyer by any other Person pursuant to any Repurchase Document, in such order and in such amounts as determined by Buyer), in an amount equal to the Market Value (determined without giving effect to the second proviso in the definition of “Market Value” hereunder with regard to determining Market Value to be zero) of

-88- such Purchased Assets on the date of the related Event of Default. Until such time as Buyer exercises either such remedy with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer may hold such Purchased Asset for its own account and retain all Income with respect thereto. (e) The Parties agree that the Purchased Assets are of such a nature that they may decline rapidly in value, and may not have a ready or liquid market. Accordingly, Buyer shall not be required to sell more than one Purchased Asset on a particular Business Day, to the same purchaser or in the same manner. Buyer may determine whether, when and in what manner a Purchased Asset shall be sold, it being agreed that both a good faith public and a good faith private sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Buyer shall not be required to give notice to Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. If no prior notice is given, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of the remedies exercised by Buyer promptly thereafter. (f) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) any amount by which the Repurchase Obligations due to Buyer exceed the aggregate of the net proceeds and credits referred to in the preceding clause (d), (ii) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (iii) any costs and losses payable under Section 12.03, and (iv) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default. (g) Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, an order of specific performance or other equitable relief to compel Seller to fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in the Repurchase Documents, including this Article 10, if Seller fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth herein or therein. (h) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for purposes of carrying out the Repurchase Documents, including executing, endorsing and recording any instruments or documents and taking any other actions that Buyer deems necessary or advisable to accomplish such purposes, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. (i) Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, exercise any or all of its set-off rights including those set forth in Section 18.16 and pursuant to any other Repurchase Document. This Section 10.02(i) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which Buyer is at any time otherwise entitled. (j) All rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, including those set forth in Section 18.16, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have and may be exercised at any time when an Event of Default exists. Such rights and remedies may be enforced without prior judicial process or hearing. Seller agrees that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s-length. Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process or otherwise arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or any other election of remedies.

-89- ARTICLE 11 SECURITY INTEREST Section 11.01 Grant. Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, to preserve and protect Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and under the Repurchase Documents if any Governmental Authority recharacterizes any Transaction with respect to a Purchased Asset as other than a sale, and as security for Seller’s performance of the Repurchase Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a present Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under (i) the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in clause (B) of the proviso in the definition thereof), and (ii) each Interest Rate Protection Agreement with each Hedge Counterparty relating to each Purchased Asset, and the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer shall be deemed to constitute and confirm such grant, to secure the payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations (including the obligation of Seller to pay the Repurchase Price, or if the related Transaction is recharacterized as a loan, to repay such loan for the Repurchase Price). Section 11.02 Effect of Grant. If any circumstance described in Section 11.01 occurs, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement as defined in the UCC, (b) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller or between any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the Repurchase Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its agents, including Custodian, of the Purchased Asset Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The security interest of Buyer granted herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and to all other Affiliated Hedge Counterparties that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Purchased Asset and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and (ii) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Asset or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from

-90- Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller. Section 11.03 Seller to Remain Liable. Buyer and Seller agree that the grant of a security interest under this Article 11 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Interest or other obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Asset, or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets, each Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the Purchased Asset Documents to perform all of Seller’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not been executed. Section 11.04 Waiver of Certain Laws. Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine. ARTICLE 12 INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY Section 12.01 Benchmark Replacement; Market Disruption. (a) Benchmark Replacement for LIBOR Based Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, with respect to any LIBOR Based Transaction, if the USD LIBOR Transition Date has occurred prior to the LIBOR Reference Time in respect of any setting of USD LIBOR for any Pricing Period of such LIBOR Based Transaction, then such LIBOR Based Transaction shall be permanently converted to being a SOFR Based Transaction as of the first day of such Pricing Period (such conversion, a “Rate Conversion”) without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document (such date on which the

-91- LIBOR Based Transactions are converted to SOFR Based Transactions, the “Rate Conversion Effective Date”); provided, that except as otherwise expressly specified in any Confirmation (or amended and restated Confirmation) entered into by Buyer and Seller following the Third Amendment Effective Date, from and after the Rate Conversion Effective Date, the Pricing Margin (as in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Rate Conversion) for each such converted Transaction shall be increased by an amount equal to the SOFR Adjustment without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. (b) Benchmark Replacement for SOFR Based Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, with respect to any SOFR Based Transaction, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark (as determined pursuant to clause (B) and/or clause (C) of such definition, as applicable), then the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark (as determined pursuant to clause (B) and/or clause (C) of such definition, applicable) with respect to each affected SOFR Based Transaction for all purposes hereunder or under any Repurchase Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. (c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement or any Rate Conversion, Buyer will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. (d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Buyer will promptly notify Seller of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement or Rate Conversion, as applicable, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 12.01, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. Any notice of Rate Conversion delivered by Buyer as described in the preceding clause (i) shall specify the Applicable SOFR designated by Buyer with respect to each such converted Transaction, which designation shall be conclusive and binding on Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. (e) Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to any Pricing Period, Buyer determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market (other than a Benchmark Transition Event), adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining any applicable current Benchmark for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period with respect to each

-92- Transaction based on such Benchmark, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods for Transactions based on such Benchmark until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the sum of (i) an alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by Buyer, (ii) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Buyer and (iii) the applicable Pricing Margin. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 12.01, Buyer shall treat Seller in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Section 12.02 Illegality. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Repurchase Documents, (a) any commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall be terminated and the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred, (b) if required by such adoption or change, the Pricing Rate shall be the sum of (i) an alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by Buyer, (ii) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by Buyer and (iii) the applicable Pricing Margin, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 12.02, Buyer shall treat Seller in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Section 12.03 Breakfunding. In the event of (a) the failure by Seller to terminate any Transaction after Seller has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.04, (b) any payment to Buyer on account of the outstanding Repurchase Price, including a payment made pursuant to Section 3.04 but excluding a payment made pursuant to Section 5.02, on any day other than a Remittance Date (based on the assumption that Buyer funded its commitment with respect to the Transaction in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods that Buyer deems appropriate and practical), (c) any failure by Seller to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) any redetermination of the Pricing Rate based on a Benchmark Replacement or Rate Conversion for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Period, Seller shall compensate Buyer for the cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of Buyer setting forth any amount or amounts that Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 12.03 shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive to the extent calculated in good faith and absent manifest error. Seller shall pay Buyer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. Section 12.04 Increased Costs.

-93- If the adoption of, or any change in, any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made after the date of this Agreement, shall: (a) subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” or (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer, or (c) impose on Buyer (other than Taxes) any other condition; and the result of any of the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions, or to reduce any amount receivable under the Repurchase Documents in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. In determining any additional amounts due under this Section 12.04, Buyer shall treat Seller in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Section 12.05 Capital Adequacy. If Buyer determines that any change in any Requirements of Law or internal policy regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or its obligations under the Transactions hereunder to a level below that which Buyer could have achieved but for such change in any Requirements of Law or internal policy (taking into consideration Buyer’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Seller will promptly upon demand pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for any such reduction suffered. In determining any additional amounts due under this Section 12.05, Buyer shall treat Seller in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Section 12.06 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Repurchase Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. 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, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable 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

-94- payable under this Section 12.06) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made in respect of such Indemnified Taxes. (b) Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.06) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.06, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. (e) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Repurchase Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.06(e)(ii)(A), Section 12.06(e)(ii)(B) and Section 12.06(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) if Buyer is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of IRS Form W- 9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this

-95- Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable: (I) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Repurchase Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Repurchase Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (II) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (III) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or (IV) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W- 8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate or 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 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to Buyer under any Repurchase Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer

-96- were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.06), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 12.06 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 12.06(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.06(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 12.06(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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 Section 12.06(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (g) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.06, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Section 12.07 Payment and Survival of Obligations. Buyer may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12, and Seller shall pay such amounts to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. Each Party’s obligations under this Article 12 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of the Buyer, the

-97- termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Repurchase Document. ARTICLE 13 INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES Section 13.01 Indemnity. (a) Seller shall release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Affiliates of Buyer and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, owners, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates and advisors (each an “Indemnified Person” and collectively the “Indemnified Persons”), against, and shall hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for any such Indemnified Person and expenses), penalties or fines of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person (collectively, the “Indemnified Amounts”) in any way relating to, arising out of or resulting from or in connection with (i) the Repurchase Documents, the Purchased Asset Documents, the Purchased Assets, the Pledged Collateral, the Transactions, any Mortgaged Property or related property, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Person in connection with or under any of the foregoing, or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of any Repurchase Document, any Transaction, any Purchased Asset, any Purchased Asset Document, or any Pledged Collateral, (ii) any claims, actions or damages by an Underlying Obligor or lessee with respect to a Purchased Asset, (iii) any violation or alleged violation of, non–compliance with or liability under any Requirements of Law, (iv) ownership of, Liens on, security interests in or the exercise of rights or remedies under any of the items referred to in the preceding clause (i), (v) any accident, injury to or death of any person or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about any Mortgaged Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways, (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about, or possession, alteration, repair, operation, maintenance or management of, any Mortgaged Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways, (vii) any failure by Seller to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset Document or Purchased Asset, (viii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of any Mortgaged Property or Purchased Asset, (ix) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any lease or other transaction involving any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset or Mortgaged Property, (x) the execution, delivery, filing or recording of any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset Document or any memorandum of any of the foregoing, (xi) any Lien or claim arising on or against any Purchased Asset or related Mortgaged Property under any Requirements of Law or any liability asserted against Buyer or any Indemnified Person with respect thereto, (xii) (1) a past, present or future violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Laws in connection with any Mortgaged Property by any Person or other source, whether related or unrelated to Seller or any Underlying Obligor, (2) any presence of any Materials of Environmental Concern in, on, within, above, under, near, affecting or emanating from any Mortgaged Property in

-98- violation of Environmental Law, (3) the failure to timely perform any Remedial Work required under the Purchased Asset Documents or pursuant to Environmental Law, (4) any past, present or future activity by any Person or other source, whether related or unrelated to Seller or any Underlying Obligor in connection with any actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or other release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation to or from any Mortgaged Property of any Materials of Environmental Concern at any time located in, under, on, above or affecting any Mortgaged Property, in each case, in violation of Environmental Law, (5) any past, present or future actual Release (whether intentional or unintentional, direct or indirect, foreseeable or unforeseeable) to, from, on, within, in, under, near or affecting any Mortgaged Property by any Person or other source, whether related or unrelated to Seller or any Underlying Obligor, in each case, in violation of Environmental Law, (6) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Lien on any Mortgaged Property with regard to, or as a result of, any Materials of Environmental Concern or pursuant to any Environmental Law, or (7) any misrepresentation or failure to perform any obligations pursuant to any Repurchase Document or Purchased Asset Document relating to environmental matters in any way, or (xiii) Seller’s conduct, activities, actions and/or inactions in connection with, relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing clauses of this Section 13.01, that, in each case, results from anything whatsoever other than any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Underlying Obligor 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 Underlying Obligor from Seller. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.01 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Seller, an Indemnified Person or any other Person or any Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any Transaction is entered into.

(b) If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 13.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, even though such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the express terms hereof, then Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, the relative fault of such Indemnified Person, and any other relevant equitable considerations. (c) An Indemnified Person may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of Indemnified Amounts, and Seller shall pay such Indemnified Amounts to such Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice.

The Parties acknowledge and agree 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 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).

-102- ARTICLE 17 SERVICING This Article 17 shall apply to all Purchased Assets. Section 17.01 Servicing Rights. Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to hire or otherwise engage any Person to service or sub- service all or part of the Purchased Assets, provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Seller may designate one or more Servicers to be selected by Buyer, so long as each such Servicer is reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and each such Person shall have only such servicing obligations with respect to such Purchased Assets as are approved by Buyer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Buyer agrees with Seller as follows with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Assets: (a) Each Servicer shall service the Purchased Assets on behalf of Buyer. Each Servicing Agreement shall contain provisions which are consistent with this Article 17 and must otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, it being understood that (i) in all cases where an Affiliate of Seller is the Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement shall be in the form approved by Buyer, and (ii) in all cases where Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. (b) Unless they have previously done so, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement on the Closing Date, Buyer will enter into, and cause each Servicer to enter into, a Servicing Agreement. Each Servicing Agreement, where the Servicer is not Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer shall automatically terminate on the 30th day following its execution and at the end of each thirty (30) day period thereafter unless, in each case, Buyer shall agree, by prior written notice to the related Servicer to be delivered on or before the Remittance Date immediately preceding each such scheduled termination date, to extend the termination date an additional thirty (30) days, which extension notice may be provided by email. Neither Seller nor the related Servicer may assign its rights or obligations under the related Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer. (c) Notwithstanding that Buyer owns all Servicing Rights, subject to Sections 17.01(b) and 17.01(e), Buyer hereby grants Seller, for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the right to direct each Servicer under the terms of, and in accordance with, each applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, unless such direction results in, or relates to a request for, any matter that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Modification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not direct any Servicer to (i) make any Material Modification without the prior written consent of Buyer or (ii) take any action which would result in a violation of the obligations of any Person under the related Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, or which would otherwise be inconsistent with the rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents. Buyer, as owner of the Purchased Assets, shall own all related servicing and voting rights and, as owner, shall act as

-103- servicer with respect to the Purchased Assets, subject to an interim revocable option from Buyer in favor of Seller, which is hereby granted, to direct each related Servicer, so long as no monetary or material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that Seller cannot give any direction or take any action that could materially adversely affect the value or collectability of any amounts due with respect to the Purchased Assets without the consent of Buyer. Such revocable option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of Seller in any Purchased Asset. (d) The servicing fee payable to each Servicer shall be payable as a servicing fee in accordance with this Agreement and each Servicing Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to priority sixth of Section 5.02 or priority third of Section 5.03, as applicable, but all such servicing and any applicable sub-servicing fees shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies of Buyer and each related Servicer under each Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents (and in addition to the provisions of each Servicing Agreement providing for termination of each such Servicing Agreement pursuant to its terms), (i) for the avoidance of doubt, the right, if any, of any person other than Buyer or its Affiliates to direct the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall immediately and automatically cease to exist, and (ii) either Buyer or each Servicer may at any time terminate the related Servicing Agreement immediately upon the delivery of a written termination notice from either Buyer or the related Servicer to Seller. Seller shall pay all expenses associated with any such termination, including without limitation any fees and expenses required in connection with the transfer of servicing to the related Servicer and/or a replacement Servicer. (f) No Servicing Agreement may be amended or modified, and no provision thereof may be waived, in each case without the prior written approval of Buyer, as determined in its sole discretion. Section 17.02 Reserved. Section 17.03 Servicing Reports. Seller shall deliver (or cause each Servicer to deliver to Buyer and Custodian a monthly remittance report on or before the second Business Day immediately preceding each monthly Remittance Date containing servicing information, including those fields reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time, on an asset by asset basis and in the aggregate, with respect to the Purchased Assets for the month (or any portion thereof) before the date of such report. Section 17.04 Servicer Event of Default. If an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default exists, Buyer shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate the related Servicing Agreement (or, in the case of an

-104- Event of Default, all of the Servicing Agreements) and transfer servicing of the related Purchased Assets to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that Seller will pay any fees and expenses required to terminate such Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Buyer or its designee.

Seller irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Repurchase Documents in any court referred to above, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 18.11.

(d) SELLER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF BUYER OR AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BUYER OR AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY OF THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 18.03 IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SCOPE OF SUCH WAIVERS IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL THEORY.

(f) THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 18.03 ARE IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND SHALL APPLY TO ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO ANY OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. (g) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 18.03 SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS AND THE INDEFEASIBLE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE REPURCHASE OBLIGATIONS. Section 18.04 Integration; Severability. The Repurchase Documents supersede and integrate all previous negotiations, contracts, agreements and understandings (whether written or oral), including, without limitation, the Term Sheet, between the Parties relating to a sale and repurchase of Purchased Assets and the other matters addressed by the Repurchase Documents, and contain the entire final agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Section 18.05 Single Agreement. Seller agrees that (a) each Transaction is in consideration of and in reliance on the fact that all Transactions constitute a single business and contractual relationship, and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other Transactions, (b) a default by it in the payment or performance of any its obligations under a Transaction shall constitute a default by it with respect to all Transactions, (c) Buyer may set off claims and apply properties and assets held by or on behalf of Buyer with respect to any Transaction against the Repurchase Obligations owing to Buyer with respect to other Transactions, and (d) payments, deliveries and other transfers made by or on behalf of Seller with respect to any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers with respect to all

-107- Transactions, and the obligations of Seller to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Section 18.06 Survival and Benefit of Seller’s Agreements. The Repurchase Documents and all Transactions shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. All of Seller’s representations, warranties, agreements and indemnities in the Repurchase Documents shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations, and shall apply to and benefit all Indemnified Persons, Buyer and its successors and assigns, together with all assignees and Participants hereunder. No other Person shall be entitled to any benefit, right, power, remedy or claim under the Repurchase Documents. Section 18.07 Assignments and Participations. (a) None of Guarantor, Pledgor or Seller shall sell, assign or transfer any of their respective rights or the Repurchase Obligations or delegate any of their respective duties under this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document without the prior written consent of Buyer, and any attempt to do so without such consent shall be null and void. (b) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor, and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural person or Seller, Sponsor, Pledgor, any Intermediate Entity, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or any portion of Buyer’s rights and/or obligations under the Repurchase Documents; provided that (x) if a monetary or material non- monetary Default or any an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may sell participations to any Person at any time without consent, notice or restriction of any kind, other than the requirements set forth in clause (iv) below, and (y) so long as no monetary or material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) Buyer’s obligations under the Repurchase Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, (iv) each Participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 18.09, and (v) provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, Buyer shall retain ultimate decision-making authority under the Repurchase Documents. So long as no monetary or material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Participant shall have any right to approve any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Repurchase Document, except to the extent that the Repurchase Price or Price Differential of any Purchased Asset would be reduced or the Repurchase Date of any Purchased Asset would be postponed. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.06(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.06(e) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)) and Article 13 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.07(c), provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 12.04 or Section 12.06 than its participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of

-108- Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer or such Participant with a request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer or such Participant, in each case made or issued after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(i) and 18.16 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.07(c). (c) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor or Guarantor but upon notice to Seller, and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, sell and assign all or any portion of all of the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents to any Eligible Assignee proposed by Buyer; provided that if a monetary or material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may enter into any such sale and assignments with any Person at any time without consent, notice or restriction of any kind. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) each such assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent provided therein, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it, (ii) Buyer shall, to the extent provided therein, be released from such obligations (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall cease to be a Party), (iii) the obligations of Buyer shall be deemed to be so reduced, and (iv) Buyer will give prompt written notice thereof (including identification of the related assignee and the amount of Repurchase Price allocated to it) to each Party (but Buyer shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice). Any sale or assignment by Buyer of rights or obligations under the Repurchase Documents that does not comply with this Section 18.07(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Repurchase Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18.07(b). (d) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such sale and assignment of participations, syndications or assignments and shall enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents to give effect to any such sale or assignment; provided, that none of the foregoing shall change any economic or other material term of the Repurchase Documents in a manner adverse to Seller without the consent of Seller and shall be at no cost to Seller. (e) Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to partially or completely syndicate any or all of its rights under this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents to any Eligible Assignee so long as, prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary or material non-monetary Default or any Event of Default, Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance by Buyer of its obligations under the Repurchase Documents. (f) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignees that become Parties hereto and, with respect to each

-109- such assignees, the aggregate assigned Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parties at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (g) If Buyer sells a participation of its rights hereunder, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and, with respect to each such Participant, the aggregate participated Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential, and any other interest in any obligations under the Repurchase Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Party shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Repurchase Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the participating Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Section 18.08 Ownership and Hypothecation of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to and vest in Buyer on the applicable Purchase Dates and, subject to the terms of the Repurchase Documents, Buyer or its designee shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and be entitled to exercise all rights, privileges and options relating to the Purchased Assets as the owner thereof, including rights of subscription, conversion, exchange, substitution, voting, consent and approval, and to direct any servicer or trustee. Buyer or its designee may, at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor, or Guarantor, engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets to any Eligible Assignee, all on terms that Buyer may determine; provided, that (i) if a monetary or material non- monetary Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets to any Person at any time without consent, notice or restriction of any kind and (ii) no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction. Section 18.09 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions, including any information given by Seller to Buyer in

-110- connection with a Transaction, shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, and who need and will use such information exclusively in connection with administering this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by Requirements of Law, in which case the disclosing Party agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, to inform the other Party promptly thereof, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Assets or Mortgaged Properties, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) to any actual or prospective Participant or Eligible Assignee which agrees to comply with this Section 18.09, and (g) to the extent required in connection with any litigation between the parties in connection with any Repurchase Document or any Transaction; provided, that, except with respect to the disclosures by Buyer under clause (g) of this Section 18.09, no such disclosure made with respect to any Repurchase Document shall include a copy of such Repurchase Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Repurchase Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure. Section 18.10 No Implied Waivers; Amendments. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy under the Repurchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy thereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies in the Repurchase Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Application of the Default Rate after an Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate is applied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Repurchase Documents, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Repurchase Documents without the signed agreement of Buyer. Any waiver or consent under the Repurchase Documents shall be effective only if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Section 18.11 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and sent prepaid by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail, by expedited commercial or postal delivery service, or by email if also sent by one of the foregoing, to the address for such Party specified in Annex 1 or such other address as such Party shall specify from time to time in a notice to the other Party. Any of the foregoing communications shall be effective when delivered, if such delivery occurs on a Business Day; otherwise, each such communication shall be effective on the first Business Day following the date of such delivery.

-111- A Party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.11 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. Section 18.12 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any other Repurchase Document may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email. The Parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties. Section 18.13 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Buyer, any Indemnified Person, Seller, Pledgor, Sponsor, each Intermediate Entity or Guarantor, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents, whether by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that the obligations of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents are solely their respective corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations, as applicable, and that any such recourse or personal liability is hereby expressly waived. This Section 18.13 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations, and each beneficiary of this Section 18.13 shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 18.13 with rights to enforce this Section. Section 18.14 Protection of Buyer’s Interests in the Purchased Assets; Further Assurances. (a) Seller shall take such action as necessary to cause the Repurchase Documents and/or all financing statements and continuation statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and interest of Buyer to the Purchased Assets to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect such right, title and interest. Seller shall deliver to Buyer file–stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 18.14. (b) Seller will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments and documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Repurchase Documents, the Transactions and the Purchased Assets. Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor shall, promptly upon Buyer’s request, deliver documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer which Buyer deems necessary or desirable to evidence

-112- compliance with all applicable "know your customer" due diligence checks, including, but not limited to, any information required to be obtained by Buyer pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. (c) If Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, then Buyer may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Repurchase Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller authorizes Buyer, at the option of Buyer and the expense of Seller, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Repurchase Documents. No Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Repurchase Obligation by Buyer on behalf of Seller. Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by Seller in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP. (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will no earlier than six (6) months or later than three (3) months before the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of filing of each UCC financing statement filed in connection with any Repurchase Document or any Transaction, if this Agreement is then in effect (i) deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement (provided that Buyer may elect to file such continuation statement), and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, confirming and updating the security interest opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interests hereunder continue to be enforceable and perfected security interests, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions. (e) Except as provided in the Repurchase Documents, the sole duty of Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be to use reasonable care in the custody, use, operation and preservation of the Purchased Assets in its possession or control. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller or any other Person for any act of Governmental Authority, act of God or other destruction in whole or in part or negligence or wrongful act of custodians or agents selected by Buyer with reasonable care, or Buyer’s failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve any rights of Seller in any Purchased Asset against prior parties, and Seller hereby agrees to take such action. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any Purchased Asset except through proper application of any distributions with respect to the Purchased Assets made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long as Buyer and Custodian shall act in good faith in their handling of the Purchased Assets, Seller waives or is deemed to have waived the defense of impairment of the Purchased Assets by Buyer and Custodian. Section 18.15 Default Rate.

-113- To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, Seller shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the amount of all Repurchase Obligations not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents until such Repurchase Obligations are paid or satisfied in full. Section 18.16 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of Seller at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller and to set–off against any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by Seller or Pledgor and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to Seller, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person to or for the credit of Seller without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller to Buyer or Pledgor to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person by Seller or Pledgor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. Seller and Pledgor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons by Seller or Pledgor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, and Buyer shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set–off provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER, ANY AFFILIATE OF BUYER OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS, THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER. Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or such

-114- Indemnified Person, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set–off and application. If an amount or obligation is unascertained, Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other party when the amount or obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 18.16 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.16 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person is at any time otherwise entitled. Section 18.17 Seller’s Waiver of Set-off. Seller hereby waives any right of set-off it may have or to which it may be or become entitled under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise against Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Indemnified Person or their respective assets or properties. Section 18.18 Power of Attorney. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets (including a financing statement describing the collateral as “all assets of the debtor” or such other super-generic description thereof as Buyer may determine) without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney in fact to file any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and preserve its ownership interest in and/or the security interest granted hereby, if applicable, and to protect, preserve and realize upon the Purchased Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents, including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete blanks in documents, transfer servicing (including, but not limited, to sending “good-bye letters” to any Underlying Obligor with respect to Purchased Assets which are Whole Loans, each to be in a form acceptable to Buyer), and sign assignments on behalf of such Seller as its agent and attorney in fact. This agency and power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without Buyer’s consent. Seller shall pay the filing costs for any financing statement or statements prepared pursuant to this Section 18.18. In addition, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a power of attorney in the form and substance of Exhibit J hereto (“Power of Attorney”). Section 18.19 Periodic Due Diligence Review. Buyer may perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets, Seller and Affiliates of Seller, including ordering new third party reports, for purposes of, among other things, verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, duties, obligations and specifications made under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its representatives may during normal business hours inspect any properties and examine, inspect and make copies of the books and records of Seller and Affiliates of Seller, the Purchased Asset Documents and the Servicing Files. Seller shall make available to Buyer one or more knowledgeable financial or accounting officers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of Seller

-115- for the purpose of answering questions of Buyer concerning any of the foregoing. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer by permitting Buyer to conduct due diligence reviews of the Servicing Files. Buyer may purchase Purchased Assets from Seller based solely on the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Underwriting Package and the representations, warranties, duties, obligations and covenants contained herein, and Buyer may at any time conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets, including ordering new credit reports and new Appraisals (provided that, other than in connection with Buyer’s review of any Material Modification, any proposed Future Funding Transaction or any other release of collateral relating to a Purchased Asset, no more than one (1) Appraisal per Purchased Asset, in any twelve (12) month period, shall be ordered at Seller’s cost and expense) on the Mortgaged Properties and otherwise re-generating the information used to originate and underwrite such Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a mutually acceptable third-party underwriter to do so. Section 18.20 Time of the Essence.

Buyer hereby notifies Seller that Buyer is required by the PATRIOT Act to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller. Section 18.22 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the foregoing, the Repurchase Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

-117- without regard to (A) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, any amounts at any time owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Repurchase Documents, or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (B) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Seller against Buyer, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Seller) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Seller for any amounts owing to Buyer by any Seller under the Repurchase Documents, or of Sellers under this Agreement, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. (b) Each Seller shall remain fully obligated under this Agreement notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Seller and without notice to or further assent by any Seller, any demand by Buyer for payment of any amounts owing to Buyer by any other Seller under the Repurchase Documents may be rescinded by Buyer and any the payment of any such amounts may be continued, and the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer (including any extension or postponement of the time for payment or performance or renewal or refinancing of any Repurchase Obligation), and this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with its terms, as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Buyer shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for amounts owing to Buyer by Sellers under the Repurchase Documents, or any property subject thereto. (c) To the extent that any Seller (the “Paying Seller”) pays more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, the Paying Seller shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Seller that has not paid its proportionate share; provided, that the provisions of this Section 18.25 shall not limit the duties, covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of any Seller to Buyer, and, notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Paying Seller hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of the Paying Seller by Buyer, the Paying Seller shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Buyer against any other Seller or any collateral security or guarantee or right of setoff held by Buyer, nor shall the Paying Seller seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Seller in respect of payments made by the Paying Seller hereunder, until all Repurchase Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Paying Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of the Paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Paying Seller, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by the Paying Seller (duly indorsed by the Paying Seller to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Repurchase Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

-118- (d) The Repurchase Obligations are full recourse obligations to each Seller, and each Seller hereby forever waives, demises, acquits and discharges any and all defenses, and shall at no time assert or allege any defense, to the contrary. (e) Anything herein or in any other Repurchase Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of any Seller hereunder in respect of the liabilities of the other Sellers under this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by each Seller under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. Section 18.25 Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes (a) In the event that Buyer becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from Buyer of this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. (b) In the event that Buyer or a BHC Act Affiliate of Buyer becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents that may be exercised against Buyer are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement and/or the Repurchase Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
