ARTICLE 3

THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.01 Procedures.

(a) From time to time during the Revolving Period, Seller may request that Buyer enter into a proposed Transaction by sending notice to Buyer that: (i) describes the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related underlying Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmits a complete Underwriting Package for each proposed Asset, (iii) sets forth the Proposed Representation Exceptions, if any, with respect to each proposed Asset, and (iv) indicates 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 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 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 repurchase such Purchased Asset in accordance with Sections 3.04(b) and 3.05.

(b) Buyer shall give Seller notice of the date when Buyer has received the complete 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 any or all of such Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions, 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 a draft Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Asset and its proposed Purchase Date, Market Value, Applicable Percentage, Purchase Price and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require prior to the Purchase Date. If Buyer requires changes to the draft Confirmation, Seller shall make such changes. If Buyer determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the draft Confirmation, the Parties shall execute such Confirmation, which shall become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction upon Buyer’s execution thereof. Buyer’s

-45-

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, 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 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (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 or Purchased 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 or Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset.

(f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit resulting in a Margin Call, Default, Event of Default, Market Disruption Event or Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing or would exist as a result of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction would be later than the Maturity Date, (iii) the proposed Purchased Asset does not qualify as an Eligible Asset, (iv) after giving effect to such Transaction, (A) the Aggregate Amount Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount, or (B) any Sub-Limit 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, (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 then-currently being breached, 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.

(iii) within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Purchase Date with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (A) to Custodian, the complete original Mortgage Asset File with respect to such Wet Mortgage Asset, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, and (B) to Buyer, the complete original Underwriting Package with respect to the related Wet Mortgage Assets purchased by Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt (A) Seller shall, in all cases, deliver each Basic Mortgage Asset Document 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, due to a delay caused solely by the public recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation, Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered on the applicable Purchase Date any Purchased Asset Document or Interim Assignment Document that is required by its terms to be recorded, 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) 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.

(i) Seller may terminate any Transaction with respect to any or all Purchased Assets and repurchase such Purchased Assets on any date prior to the then-applicable Repurchase Date; provided, that (a) Seller irrevocably notifies Buyer and any related Affiliated Hedge Counterparty 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) no Margin Deficit resulting in 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, (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, and (d) Seller pays to Buyer any Exit Fee due in accordance with Section 2 of the Fee Letter, and Seller thereafter complies with Section 3.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Margin Deficit resulting in a Margin Call exist after giving effect to any repurchase under this Section 3.04, Seller shall also pay the amount of each related Margin Deficit to Buyer at the same time that Seller pays the related Repurchase Price to Buyer hereunder.

-48-

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Repurchase Document, at any time during the existence of an uncured Default or Event of Default that would not otherwise be fully cured immediately after giving effect to the related repurchase, Seller shall not be permitted to effect the repurchase and release of a Purchased Asset in connection with a sale of such Purchased Asset to an unaffiliated third party purchaser purchasing on an arm’s length basis unless Seller pays directly to Buyer an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by Seller from such unaffiliated third-party purchaser in connection with the sale of such Purchased Asset. 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.

(b) Mandatory Early Repurchase. In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, Seller shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 repurchase any Purchased Asset with respect to which a Mandatory Early Repurchase Event has occurred within three (3) Business Days of the date on which Buyer notifies Seller of such Mandatory Early Repurchase Event.

Section 3.05 Repurchase. 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, if any, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no unsatisfied Margin Deficit resulting in 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 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 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. 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 Maturity Date by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations.

Section 3.06 Maturity Date Extension Option, Upsize Option and Revolving Period Extension

(a) Maturity Date Extension Options. Seller shall have three (3) separate, consecutive options to extend the then-current Maturity Date, each such option for a period of one (1) year (each, an “Extension Period”), which may be exercised by Seller by written notice delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the then-current Maturity Date. Any such extension 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 shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit resulting in a Margin Call shall be outstanding, (iii) Seller shall have made a timely written request to extend the then-current Maturity Date as provided in this Section 3.06(a), (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test, (v) all Purchased Assets shall qualify as Eligible Assets, and (vi) 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. If the Extension Conditions are not fully satisfied as of the then-current Maturity Date, then Seller shall have no right to extend the then-current Maturity Date and any pending request to extend the then-current Maturity Date shall be deemed to be denied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.06, in no event shall the Maturity Date be extended for more than three (3) Extension Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 3.06(a) (i) shall become effective on the then-current Maturity Date, and (ii) shall not extend the Repurchase Date of any Transaction (other than with respect to clause (a) of the definition of “Repurchase Date”). No extension of the then-current Maturity Date shall be effective unless and until Seller has paid the Extension Fee to Buyer.

(b) Maximum Amount Upsize Option. Seller may from time to time request an increase of the Maximum Amount (each, an “Upsize Option”) in increments of $100,000,000 by written notice delivered to Buyer not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such Upsize Option. Seller’s request to exercise the Upsize Option may be approved or denied by Buyer in its sole discretion, and any such request will be deemed to be denied unless each of the following conditions is satisfied as of the proposed effective date of such Upsize Option, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion: (i) the Maximum Amount after giving effect to such Upsize Option shall not exceed $500,000,000, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) no Margin Deficit resulting in a Margin Call shall be outstanding, (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test, (v) no Credit Event shall have occurred and remain uncured with respect to any Purchased Asset, and (vi) 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. No Upsize Option shall be effective unless and until Seller has paid the Upsize Fee to Buyer.

(c) Revolving Period Extension. Seller may request to extend the scheduled expiration of the Revolving Period from the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Revolving Period Extension”) by written notice delivered to Buyer no earlier than no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The request of Seller to exercise the Revolving Period Extension may be approved or denied by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such request will be deemed to be denied if any of the following conditions are not satisfied as of the second anniversary of the Closing Date, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit resulting in a Margin Call shall be outstanding, (iii) Seller shall have made a timely written request to extend the scheduled expiration of the Revolving Period as provided in this Section 3.06(c), (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test, (v) all Purchased Assets shall qualify as Eligible Assets, (vi) 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 (vii) Seller shall have made a timely written request to extend the Maturity Date and satisfied each of the Extension Conditions as provided in Section 3.06(a). No Revolving Period Extension shall be effective unless and until Seller has paid the Extension Fee to Buyer.

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. 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 and Guarantor to Buyer of certain fees and expenses are set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter.

Section 3.08 Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party 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. Each Seller Party shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, pay to Buyer interest in connection with any Price Differential not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents, which interest

-51-

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. 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 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.

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 Amended and Restated Confirmation described in clause (i) above, on or before the related Future Funding Date.

-53-

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) otherwise, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount directly to the related Underlying Obligor.

At any time prior to the Revolving Period Expiration Date, if Margin Excess exists (as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion) with respect to a Purchased Asset, Seller may, upon the delivery of prior written notice to Buyer (which may be via email or in physical format), to be received by no later than five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the date of the requested Additional Advance, submit to Buyer a request (an “Additional Advance Notice”) for Buyer to transfer additional funds to Seller to increase the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset (an “Additional Advance”) up to the amount of such Margin Excess for such Purchased Asset. Buyer shall fund such Additional Advance on the date set forth on such Additional Advance Notice so long as, immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the funding of such Additional Advance, (i) each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.02 have been satisfied, (ii) the Aggregate Amount Outstanding does not exceed the Maximum Amount, (iii) the requested Additional Advance would not violate a Sub-Limit, (iv) the amount of such Additional Advance would not cause the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset (without giving effect to any Price Differential that has accrued but is not yet due and payable hereunder) to exceed the maximum approved Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, and (v) the amount of the requested Additional Advance is equal to or greater than $1,000,000. In connection with any such Additional Advance, Buyer and Seller shall execute an Amended and Restated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price and Applicable Percentage with respect to such Transaction.

Buyer’s rights relating to Margin Deficits 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 related Margin Deficit until the Margin Call has been satisfied in full.

Section 7.08 Compliance with ERISA.

(a) No Seller Party has any employees as of the date of this Agreement. No Seller Party or, except as could not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Person, 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 Seller Party 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 (“Plan Assets”).

(c) 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 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.

(a) No Default or 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 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 to the Knowledge of Seller, 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 and adverse effect on Seller. Seller has no Knowledge of any actual or prospective development, event or other fact that could

-63-

reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on Seller. 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.

(b) No event of default (however defined), and to Seller’s Knowledge, no default on the part of any other Seller Party exists under any credit facility, repurchase facility or substantially similar facility that is presently in effect, to which such Seller Party is a party, other than any such event of default or 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) with respect to each Purchased Asset is true and correct, except as set forth in an Approved Representation Exception. 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. Seller has no Knowledge of any fact that could reasonably lead it to expect that any Purchased Asset will not be paid in full. To Seller’s Knowledge, no procedures believed by Seller to be adverse to Buyer were utilized by Seller in identifying or selecting the proposed Purchased Assets for sale to Buyer. 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.

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.

-64-

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.

Section 7.16 Investment Company Act. No Seller Party 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.

-71-

Agreement (including any Cleared Swap) pursuant to Section 11.01, and shall pledge to Buyer, which pledge shall (other than in the case of a Cleared Swap) be consented to in writing by each Hedge Counterparty, all of Seller’s rights (but none of the obligations) in, to and under each Interest Rate Protection Agreement, subject to, in the case of a Cleared Swap, (i) the rights, if any, of the related DCO and FCM and (ii) any limitation on such a pledge by Seller required by the DCO or FCM.

(b) On or before the purchase by Buyer of the first Hedge Required Asset, Seller shall establish the Hedge Account. Subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 8.10(b), Buyer shall have sole dominion and control (including, without limitation, “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104(a) of the UCC) over the Hedge Account. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 8.10(b), Seller shall not have any right to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Hedge Account without the prior written consent of Buyer. With respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement entered into with respect to a Hedge Required Asset, Seller shall direct, in writing, the related Hedge Counterparty, or in the case of a Cleared Swap, the related FCM, to (i) make payment of all net regularly scheduled payments and net termination payments payable to Seller, (ii) except in the case of a Cleared Swap, deliver all collateral required to be transferred by the Hedge Counterparty to Seller with respect to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement into the Hedge Account and (iii) in the case of a Cleared Swap, Seller’s account at the FCM shall be pledged to Buyer; provided, however, in no event shall any return of excess collateral previously posted by Seller to a Hedge Counterparty be required to be transferred to the Hedge Account. Prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Seller may withdraw from the Hedge Account any amounts representing Permitted Withdrawals in such manner as may be necessary for Seller to satisfy the requirements under the relevant Interest Rate Protection Agreement with respect to the transfer (including returns) of collateral. 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 posted to Seller by the Hedge Counterparties. Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days from the receipt of such notice 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. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8.10(b) to the contrary, all rights of Seller to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Hedge Account without Buyer’s prior written consent shall terminate upon the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, following the occurrence of any such Default or Event of Default, Buyer shall authorize and cause the release of amounts on deposit in the Hedge Account to satisfy the requirements under the relevant Interest Rate Protection Agreement with respect to the return of any excess collateral.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent amounts on deposit in the Hedge Account are not sufficient to satisfy collateral posting obligations owed by Seller to a Hedge Counterparty, Seller shall satisfy such obligations from amounts available to Seller from a source other than the Servicer Account or the Waterfall Account.

-72-

(d) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right to apply all amounts on deposit in the Hedge Account to the outstanding Repurchase Obligations in such order and manner as Buyer determines in its reasonable discretion.

(b) All amounts in either the Servicer Account or the Waterfall Account and all Income paid after the Accelerated Repurchase Date shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5.

(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 18.17 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 18.17, 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

-81-

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.

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) subject to the limitations permitted in Section 8.10, each Interest Rate Protection Agreement with each Hedge Counterparty relating to each Purchased Asset, including, the case of Cleared Swaps, the Seller’s account at the relevant FCM, 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), (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, subject to the limitations permitted in Section 8.10, 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

-82-

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 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 (for the avoidance of doubt, other than funding obligations or other obligations that, in each case, first arise from and after the time Buyer forecloses on and takes title to, or ownership of (free and clear of any repurchase or redemption rights of Seller or obligations of Buyer with respect to such rights of Seller under the Repurchase Documents), the applicable Purchased Assets in connection with Buyer’s exercise of remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default). 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

BENCHMARK REPLACEMENT; INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Section 12.01 Benchmark Replacement; Market Disruption. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Repurchase Document in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in

-83-

connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective as of the Reference Time on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. If the Benchmark Replacement is determined in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Seller without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document or further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with a Benchmark Replacement, 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.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Buyer will promptly notify Seller of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of Term SOFR pursuant to clause (d) below. 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.

(d) 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 or an Early Opt-in Election), adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the then-current Benchmark for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Benchmark portion of the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Benchmark Replacement determined by Buyer pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 12.01 shall be construed to eliminate, replace or otherwise affect the Pricing Margin portion of the Pricing Rate calculation, which Pricing Margin shall continue to apply and be calculated as part of the Pricing Rate regardless of the applicable Benchmark.

(e) London Interbank Offered Rate Benchmark Transition Event. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (the “IBA”), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor of the IBA, announced in public statements (the “Announcements”) that the final publication or representativeness date for (i) 1-week and 2-month London interbank offered rate tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (ii) overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month London

-84-

interbank offered rate tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for the IBA was identified in such Announcements. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Announcements resulted in the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to the London interbank offered rate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that any obligation of Buyer to notify Seller of such Benchmark Transition Event pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 12.01 shall be deemed satisfied.

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 Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred, (b) if required by such adoption or change, the Pricing Rate shall be the Benchmark Replacement determined by Buyer pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred. In exercising the 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 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 (other than consequential and punitive damages) 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. 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” and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (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 any other condition (other than Taxes);

-85-

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 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Withholding Agent, Withholding Agent 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 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.

-86-

(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 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;

-87-

(III) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 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 the recipient) on or prior to the date on which Foreign 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 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.

-88-

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.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the other Repurchase Documents, Buyer and the Seller Parties shall treat the Transactions as indebtedness of the Seller (or, so long as the Seller is treated as a disregarded entity or qualified REIT subsidiary (as defined under Section 856 of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as indebtedness of the entity of which Seller is considered to be a part) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income and franchise tax purposes and shall file any and all tax forms required to be filed in a manner consistent therewith, unless otherwise required by law.

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 Buyer, the termination of the Transactions, the termination of this Agreement, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Repurchase Document.

-90-

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, (xiii) the Term Sheet or any business communications or dealings between the Parties relating thereto, or (xiv) 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. This Section 13.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(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 obligations of Seller under this Section 13.01 shall apply (without duplication) to assignees and Participants hereunder and survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.03 Qualified Financial Contract. The Parties intend that if a Party is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

(a) if one of the Parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 do not protect the other Party with respect to any Transaction;

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 at any time prior to an Event of Default, Seller may designate one or more Servicers reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and each such Person shall have only such servicing

-94-

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 in all cases where an Affiliate of Seller is the Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement shall be in the form approved by Buyer.

(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 30^th 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 (which may be by email) 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. 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, prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 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 Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that Seller shall not 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 fourth 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.

-95-

(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 without the prior written approval of Buyer.

Section 17.02 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 17.03 Event of Default; 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 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; provided, that if a Servicer Event of Default exists (and no Event of Default exists), Seller shall have (a) ten (10) Business Days following such Servicer Event of Default to designate, on behalf of Buyer, a replacement Servicer reasonably acceptable to Buyer and (b) sixty (60) days following such Servicer Event of Default to deliver a replacement Servicing Agreement and Servicer Notice (if applicable), each in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer.

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.

(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.

(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

-98-

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.

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 Transactions, and the obligations of Seller to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

No other Person shall be entitled to any benefit, right, power, remedy or claim under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.07 Reserved.

Section 18.08 Assignments and Participations.

(a) No Seller Party 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 any Seller Party or any of their respective Affiliates, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (other than a natural person or a Seller Party 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 Default or 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 Default or 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 and (iv) each Participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 18.10. So long as no Default or 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 was a Buyer and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(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 Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by the participating Buyer with a request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such participating Buyer, 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 18.17 to the same extent as if it was a Buyer and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c).

(c) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of any Seller Party but upon notice to Seller, 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 Default or 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; provided, further that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, so long as initial Buyer owns any economic interest in the Transactions, (A) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with initial Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, and (B) initial Buyer shall retain sole decision making authority with respect to acceptance of prospective Purchased Assets into Transactions and Market Value and Margin Deficit determinations. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit E (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 18.08(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 18.08(b).

-100-

(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 any such cooperation shall be at no cost to Seller.

(e) Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 18.08(b) and 18.08(c), Buyer 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.

(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 such assignee, 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 18.09 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 any Seller Party or any of their respective Affiliates, 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 no such transaction shall affect the

-101-

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 and to apply Income in accordance with Article 5. 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 18.10 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions 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 the 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 18.10, 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 18.10, 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 18.11 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 18.12 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or

-102-

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 facsimile or 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. A Party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.12 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

Section 18.13 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 and/or facsimile. 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 18.14 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Buyer, any Indemnified Person, or Seller Party, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer or any Seller Party 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 and each Seller Party 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 18.14 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations, and each beneficiary of this Section 18.14 shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 18.14 with rights to enforce this Section.

Section 18.15 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 18.15.

(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

-103-

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. Each Seller Party shall, promptly upon Buyer’s request, deliver documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer which Buyer deems necessary or desirable to evidence 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 ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, 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 (5^th) 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, and Buyer’s rights to the Purchased Assets, are senior to the rights of any other creditor of Seller, 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.

-104-

Section 18.16 Default Rate. 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 18.17 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 and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer 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 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 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 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 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.

-105-

Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or such 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 18.17 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.17 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 18.18 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 18.19 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, 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 18.19. In addition, Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a power of attorney in the form and substance of Exhibit C hereto (“Power of Attorney”); provided that, other than as necessary to record or file any of the Blank Assignment Documents, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer shall not use such Power of Attorney for any other purpose.

Section 18.20 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 each Seller Party, 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 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

-106-

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 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. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for any and all third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Buyer in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, the cost of Appraisals requested by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.08(k) on the Mortgaged Properties relating to the Purchased Assets; provided that, other than in connection with Buyer’s review of any Material Modification 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.

Section 18.21 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations, duties, covenants, agreements, notices or actions or inactions of the parties under the Repurchase Documents.

Section 18.22 Reserved

Section 18.23 PATRIOT Act Notice. Buyer hereby notifies Seller that Buyer is required by the PATRIOT Act to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller.

Section 18.24 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.

Section 18.25 Acknowledgement of Anti-Predatory Lending Policies. Seller and Buyer each have in place internal policies and procedures that expressly prohibit their purchase of any high cost mortgage loan.

Section 18.26 Maintenance of Financial Covenants. To the extent that any Seller Party is obligated under any other repurchase agreement, loan agreement, warehouse facility, guaranty or similar credit facility involving the financing of commercial real estate assets which are similar to the Purchased Assets (whether now in effect or in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement) to comply with a financial covenant that is comparable to any of the financial covenants set forth in this Agreement or in any other Repurchase Document, and such comparable financial covenant is more restrictive to any Seller Party or otherwise more favorable to the related lender or buyer thereunder than any financial covenant set forth in this Agreement or in any other Repurchase Document, or is in addition to any financial covenant set forth in this Agreement or in any other Repurchase Document, then such comparable or additional financial covenant shall, with no further action required on the part of the Seller Parties or Buyer, automatically become a part of this Agreement or in such other Repurchase Document and be incorporated herein and/or therein, and each Seller Party hereby covenants to maintain compliance with such comparable or additional financial covenant at all times throughout the

-107-

remaining term of this Agreement. In connection therewith, each Seller Party agrees to promptly notify Buyer of the execution of any agreement or other document that would cause the provisions of this Section 18.26 to become effective. Each Seller Party further agrees to execute and deliver any new guaranties, agreements or amendments to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document necessary to evidence all such new or modified provisions, provided that the execution of such amendment shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment, but shall merely be for the convenience of the parties hereto and thereto.

Section 18.27 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.

Schedule 1(a)

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING OF WHOLE LOANS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Whole Loan, that except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception for such Purchased Asset as of the related Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the representations set forth on this Schedule 1(a) shall be true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(a) and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a Whole Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset or has repurchased such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

1. The Whole Loan is a performing Whole Loan secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered or made accessible (which includes Seller granting Buyer access to Servicer’s data portal) to Buyer with respect to each Whole Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Agreement.

2. Such Whole Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Whole Loan.

3. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, such Whole Loan, and Seller is transferring such Whole Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Whole Loan, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Liens, as such term is defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents) and Title Exceptions (as such term is defined below). Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Whole Loan on the related Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer, all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Whole Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. There are no participation agreements affecting such Whole Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Whole Loan to Buyer.

4. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Whole Loan nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan.

5. At the time of origination of such Whole Loan, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with such Whole Loan complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily loans.

6. Except as included in the Underwriting Package or the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer or Custodian prior to the Purchase Date, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement that by its terms modifies or materially affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Whole Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists, except for documents executed after the related Purchase Date that either (i) do not constitute Material Modifications, or (ii) constitute Material Modifications that were approved in writing by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.

7. Such Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow or reserve accounts, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

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

9. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with customary restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Institutional Lender/Owners”, “Qualified Institutional Lenders” or similar transfer restriction provisions in the Purchased Asset Documents, the related Purchased Asset Documents contain no provision limiting the right or ability of any holder thereof to assign, transfer and convey all or any portion of the related Whole Loan to any other Person, and no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Whole Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Whole Loan (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer) or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Whole Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any customary “prohibited transferee” list specified in the Purchased Asset Documents) to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

10. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Whole Loan, other than recordation of assignments of each Mortgage and assignment of leases securing the related Whole Loan in the applicable real estate records where the Mortgaged Properties are located and the filing of UCC-3 assignments in all applicable filing offices.

11. Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Whole Loan is or may become obligated under the Purchased Asset Documents which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Whole Loan.

12. Seller has not advanced funds, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, received any advance of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor relating to such Whole Loan or the related Mortgage Note, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Whole Loan or the related Mortgage Note, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any Person other than such Mortgagor, for or on account of payments due on such Whole Loan.

13. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, assignment of leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage), guaranty and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Whole Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby and/or security provided thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). With respect to any Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

14. Except as set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16), there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Whole Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

15. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee either (i) the original Mortgage Note(s) made in respect of such Whole Loan, together with an original endorsement thereof, executed by Seller in blank, or (ii) a copy of the applicable Mortgage Note(s), together with an affidavit and indemnity in favor of Buyer evidencing the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such original Mortgage Note(s), in form and substance acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

16. Each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of assignment of leases from Seller in blank constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each related Mortgage and assignment of leases evidences a first-priority lien, and each is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for, or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy.

17. The Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether underground leases, space leases or operating leases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property. Each title policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a

jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. There are no Whole Loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or such Whole Loan. The Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property, no claims under the title policies insuring the Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Properties have been made, and the Mortgagor has not received any written notice regarding any material violation of any easement, restrictive covenant or similar instrument affecting the Mortgaged Property.

18. UCC financing statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, located on the Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan) material to the value of the Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property) to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing of UCC financing statements, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on the items of personalty described above, which security interest is senior to all other creditors of the Mortgagor, other than with respect to Permitted Liens, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

19. All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) or installments thereof, which would be a lien on the Mortgaged Property and that have become delinquent in respect of the Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon, and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

20. Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, to Seller’s Knowledge, each related Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or which are then-currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Whole Loan and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property.

Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, an engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each Whole Loan no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller (or the originator of such Whole Loan, if applicable) with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

21. The lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or, until the policy is issued, a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions; the Mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and Seller and will inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee of record; such title policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. Such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

22. Insurance coverage is being maintained with respect to the Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged

Property is located, and (A) with respect to a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” insurance policy that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment located on such Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, and in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to twelve (12) months of operations of the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to each Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (B) for a Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (C) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller. Except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Whole Loan and which are set forth in the related Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related Whole Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 150% of the PML. If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from

windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

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

23. Except by written instruments included in the Underwriting Package, Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage or Mortgage Note and pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents, no Person or party other than the holder of such Mortgage Note (or its servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

24. Such Whole Loan is not, and since its origination, has not been thirty (30) days or more past due. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

25. Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the related Purchase Date without the prior written consent of the holder of such Whole Loan, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).

26. To the extent such Whole Loan is identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) eligible, such Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and (A) the issue price of the Whole Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Whole Loan and (B) either (1) substantially all of the

proceeds of such Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Whole Loan was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the principal amount of the Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the related Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to the Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

27. Except as set forth in the ESA (as defined herein), to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property and there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Whole Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Whole Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized

environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed”); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch in an amount equal to or not less than 100% of the funds reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure such circumstance or condition; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and Seller has reasonably estimated that the responsible party has financial resources adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) to Seller’s Knowledge, need for further investigation.

In the case of each Whole Loan that is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer thereof (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (ii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (b) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Whole Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Whole Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iii) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no Knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than

the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (iv) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Whole Loan.

28. Each related Mortgage, assignment of leases, or one or more of the other Purchased Asset Documents contains provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

29. Neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of a multi-tenant Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Underlying Obligor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

30. Such Whole Loan is a whole loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization (except that an anticipated repayment date (“ARD”) loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date). No Mortgagor has issued preferred equity with debt-like characteristics.

31. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below and to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage or loan agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than (i) by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents) in a mortgagor, (iv) issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other Whole Loans or (v) transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (34) below), or (b) the related Mortgaged Property or controlling interest in the borrower is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property,

other than (i) any existing permitted additional debt, (ii) any purchase money security interests, or (iii) Permitted Liens or Title Exceptions. The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval, including any Rating Agency fees incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance.

32. Except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use, value or operation of such Mortgaged Property and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the due diligence file related to the applicable Whole Loan was delivered to Buyer or its designee and neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Whole Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be released without the consent of the holder of the Whole Loan; (b) no material action may be taken by the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the consent of the holder of the Whole Loan; (c) the holder of the Whole Loan is entitled to approve the budget of the Mortgagor as it relates to the Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of the Whole Loan’s consent is required prior to the Mortgagor incurring any additional indebtedness.

33. Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate or the related servicer during the six (6) month period prior to the related origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date.

34. Except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, since origination, no material portion of the related Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the Whole Loan or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Whole Loan secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the Whole Loans (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Whole Loan, (c) where a partial release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal (including REMIC, if applicable) requirements and the payment of a release price not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with certain underwriting and legal requirements (including REMIC Provisions, if applicable) or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for the Whole Loan or that were not allocated any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Whole Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, the terms of the related Mortgage do not provide for release of any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full therefor.

With respect to any partial release, either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Whole Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any Whole Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Whole Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Whole Loan.

With respect to any Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, no such Whole Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Whole Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

35. To Seller’s Knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any Governmental Authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, there are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes or land laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation and occupancy thereof other than those which (i) are insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a

legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws and ordinances.

36. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan, none of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related Mortgaged Property lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of the related Mortgaged Property (except Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property or related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

37.

The related Mortgagor has covenanted in its respective organizational documents and/or the Purchased Asset Documents to own no significant asset other than the related Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, and assets incidental to its respective ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Properties, and to hold itself out as being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other Person.

38. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no pending, filed or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, governmental investigations or arbitrations of which Seller has received notice, against the Mortgagor, guarantor or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such Whole Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security

40. The Whole Loan and the interest (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) contracted for complied as of the date of origination with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

41. The Whole Loan is not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Indebtedness that is not also a Purchased Asset.

42. The improvements located on the Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the Mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount equal to the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

43. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Whole Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer, or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Whole Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

44. The related Mortgagor, or the related lessee, franchisor or operator was in possession of all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals then required for the use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property by the related Mortgagor, other than any licenses, permits and authorizations the failure

to possess of which would not have a material adverse effect on the use or value of the Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to maintain all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

45. The origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used with respect to the Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans.

46. Except for Mortgagors under Whole Loans secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Mortgaged Property.

47. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Whole Loan provide that such Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that the Whole Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. Furthermore, the Purchased Asset Documents for each Whole Loan provide for recourse against the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) any Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents (following an event of default), security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or willful material misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct, fraud or misrepresentation by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

48. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) and upon possession of the Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any assignment of leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with such Whole Loan establishes and creates a valid, first priority and enforceable collateral assignment of, or a valid first priority and enforceable lien and security interest in, the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property, subject only to a license granted to the related mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of

equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage or related assignment of leases, subject to applicable law and to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), provides that, upon an event of default under such Whole Loan, the beneficiary thereof is permitted to seek the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

49. With respect to such Whole Loan, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

50. If such Whole Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two (2) years after any securitization of such Whole Loan and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due. If the Whole Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Whole Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity (as such term is defined below). Such Whole Loan was not originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if such Mortgage contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related Purchased Asset Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the Purchased Asset Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance will not cause any holder to lose its status as a REMIC, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Whole Loan.

51. To the extent required under applicable law as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the Whole Loan, each holder of the related Mortgage Note is authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Whole Loan.

52. Neither the Mortgagee nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Whole Loan. Except in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, neither the Mortgagee nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make loans to, make guarantees on behalf of, or otherwise extend credit to, or make any of the foregoing for the benefit of, the Mortgagor or any other person under or in connection with the Whole Loan.

53. Each related Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted or applied to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

54. An Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Whole Loan origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute and had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Whole Loan. Such Appraisal satisfied in all material respects the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Whole Loan was originated.

55. The related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the Mortgagee with certain financial information at the times required under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

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

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

(i) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction, and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date. The Ground Lease does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related

Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Underwriting Package.

(ii) Upon the foreclosure of the Whole Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Whole Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor.

(iii) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

(iv) Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and no condition which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

(v) The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee. The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel.

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

(vii) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

(viii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity date of the Whole Loan.

(ix) Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property,

with the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan).

(x) Under the terms of the Ground Lease (or an estoppel or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee) and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, together with any accrued interest.

(xi) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

(xii) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease with Seller upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

(xiii) The ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Whole Loan is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of the Whole Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to the Mortgagee and (iv) it would accept cure from the Mortgagee on behalf of the ground lessee.

58. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Whole Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement include an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Mortgagee against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Whole Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

59. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Whole Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception, there is no mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property.

60. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements, with respect to each Whole Loan with more than one Mortgagor or with an original principal balance greater than $50 million, are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

61. With respect to each Whole Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Whole Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if the TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the related Mortgagor is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

62. Each Whole Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Whole Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single Purpose Entity, and each Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Schedule 1(a), a “Single Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Whole Loan has a Purchase Date principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Whole Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties,

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

63. Each Whole Loan (other than any Whole Loan that bears interest at a floating rate) bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Whole Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed. With respect to each Whole Loan that bears interest at a floating rate, such Whole Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR or SOFR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). If such Whole Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin, the related Purchased Asset Documents include LIBOR replacement language substantially consistent with the “hardwired approach” fallback language recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee for new origination LIBOR bilateral business loans.

64. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to each Whole Loan, complied, at the time of origination, in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of, as appropriate, all of Seller’s or such party’s origination, due diligence standards and/or practices for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as applicable, and, in each such case, otherwise complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

65. Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Whole Loan.

66. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) and all owners that hold a (a) in the case of owners domiciled in the United States, 20% or greater and (b) in the case of owners domiciled outside of the United States, 10% or greater, direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Based solely on the searches performed by Seller in connection with the related Whole Loan, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

67. With respect to each Whole Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the origination date

of the related Whole Loan, and each such estoppel indicated (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within ninety (90) days of the origination date of the related Whole Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Whole Loan that is represented on the rent roll. To Seller’s Knowledge, each rent roll indicated that (x) each lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

68. Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Whole Loan.

69. Except as included in the Underwriting Package, no default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien relating to the Mortgaged Property ranking junior to, pari passu with or senior to the Mortgage securing the Whole Loan, and there is no provision in any such agreement which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien.

70. To Seller’s Knowledge, the representations and warranties made by the Mortgagor in the Purchased Asset Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and to Seller’s Knowledge there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mortgagor, the related Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the Purchase Date.

“Ground Lease”: A ground lease containing the following terms and conditions: (a) a remaining term (exclusive of any unexercised extension options) of thirty (30) years or more from the Purchase Date of the related Asset, (b) the right of the lessee to mortgage and encumber its interest in the leased property without the consent of the lessor or with such consent given, (c) the obligation of the lessor to give the holder of any mortgage lien on such leased property written notice of any defaults on the part of the lessee and agreement of such lessor that such lease will not be terminated until such holder has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosures, and fails to do so, (d) reasonable transferability of the lessee’s interest under such lease, including ability to sublease, and (e) such other rights customarily required by mortgagees making a loan secured by the interest of the holder of the leasehold estate demised pursuant to a ground lease.

“REMIC”: A REMIC, as that term is used in the REMIC Provisions.

“REMIC Provisions”: Sections 860A through 860G of the Code.

“Servicing File:” A copy of the Underwriting Package and documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Underwriting Package that (i) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Whole Loans, (ii) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Whole Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Whole Loans or holders of interests therein and (iii) are in the possession or under the control of Seller, provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

Schedule 1(b)

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING

OF SENIOR INTERESTS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Senior Interest, that except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception for such Purchased Asset, as of the Purchase Date for each such related Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the representations set forth on this Schedule 1(b) shall be true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(b) and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a Senior Interest if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset or has repurchased such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

1. The Senior Interest is either (a) a performing senior or pari passu participation interest in a performing Whole Loan, secured by a first-priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property, or (b) a performing “A-note” in an “A/B structure” in a performing Whole Loan, secured by a first-priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered or made accessible (which includes Seller granting Buyer access to Servicer’s data portal) to Buyer with respect to each Senior Interest and each underlying Whole Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Agreement.

2. Such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan.

3. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, no Mortgage Note related to a Senior Interest or related Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge and Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, such Senior Interest, and Seller is transferring such Senior Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Senior Interest, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Liens) and Title Exceptions. Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Senior Interest on the related Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer, all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Senior Interest free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Senior Interest to Buyer.

4. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Senior Interest nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Senior Interest.

5. At the time of origination of the related Whole Loan, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with such Whole Loan complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily loans.

6. Except as included in the Underwriting Package or the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer or Custodian prior to the Purchase Date, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement that by its terms modifies or materially affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Senior Interest and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists, except for documents executed after the related Purchase Date that either (i) do not constitute Material Modifications, or (ii) constitute Material Modifications that were approved in writing by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.

7. Each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow or reserve accounts, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

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

9. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with customary intercreditor restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Institutional Lender/Owners”, “Qualified Institutional Lenders” or similar transfer restriction provisions in the Purchased Asset Documents, the related Purchased Asset Documents contain no provision limiting the right or ability of any holder thereof to assign, transfer and convey all or any portion of the related Senior Interest to any other Person, and no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Senior Interest, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Senior Interest (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer) or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Senior Interest. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any customary “prohibited transferee” list specified in the Purchased Asset Documents) to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

10. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Senior Interest, other than recordation of assignments of each related Mortgage and assignment of leases securing the related Whole Loan in the applicable real estate records where the Mortgaged Properties are located and the filing of UCC-3 assignments in all applicable filing offices.

11. Seller has not received notice of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Senior Interest is or may become obligated under the Purchased Asset Documents which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the related Whole Loan.

12. Seller has not advanced funds or, to Seller’s Knowledge, received any advance of funds for the payment of any amount required by such Senior Interest. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, no advance of funds has been made, directly or indirectly, by Seller to the Mortgagor, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the Mortgagor relating to such Whole Loan, for or on account of payments due on such Whole Loan.

13. With respect to each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, assignment of leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage), guaranty and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such related Whole Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby and/or security provided thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). With respect to any Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

14. Except as set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16), with respect to the Senior Interest and each related Whole Loan, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

15. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee either (i) the original promissory note, certificate or other similar indicia of ownership of such Senior Interest, however denominated, together with an original assignment thereof, executed by Seller in blank or (ii)a copy of the applicable Mortgage Note(s), together with an affidavit and indemnity in favor of Buyer evidencing the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such original Mortgage Note(s), in form and substance acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

16. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of leases from Seller in blank constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each related Mortgage and assignment of leases evidences a first-priority lien, and each is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for, or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy.

17. The Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be

provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether underground leases, space leases or operating leases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property. Each title policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. There are no other Whole Loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or the related Whole Loan. The Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property, no claims under the title policies insuring the Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Properties have been made, and the Mortgagor has not received any written notice regarding any material violation of any easement, restrictive covenant or similar instrument affecting the Mortgaged Property.

18. UCC financing statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, located on each related Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest) material to the value of such Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing of UCC financing statements, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on the items of personalty described above, which security interest is senior to all other creditors of the Mortgagor, other than with respect to Permitted Liens, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

19. All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) or installments thereof, which would be a lien on any related Mortgaged Property and that have become delinquent in respect of such Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon, and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

20. Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, to Seller’s Knowledge, each related Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or which are then-currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property.

Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, an engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller (or the originator of the related Whole Loan, if applicable) with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

21. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or, until the policy is issued, a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions; the Mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and Seller and will inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee of record; such title policy is in full force and effect upon the

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. Such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

22. Insurance coverage is being maintained with respect to the Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located, and (A) with respect to a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” insurance policy that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment located on such Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation) or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, and in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to twelve (12) months of operations of the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to each related Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (B) for a related Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (C) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller. Except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Whole Loan and which are set forth in the related Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related Whole Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or

engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 150% of the PML. If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

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

23. Except by written instruments included in the Underwriting Package, Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Senior Interest, related Mortgage or related Mortgage Note and pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents, no Person or party other than the holder of such related Mortgage Note (or its servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

24. The Senior Interest and related Whole Loan are not, and since their origination, have not been thirty (30) days or more past due. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan or any other obligation of the borrower under the related Whole Loan, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

25. Each Mortgage related to the Whole Loan relating to such Senior Interest does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the related Mortgage Note, the related Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the related Purchase Date without the prior

written consent of the holder of such Whole Loan, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).

26. To the extent the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, such Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and (A) the issue price of the related Whole Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of such Whole Loan and (B) either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Whole Loan was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the principal amount of such Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the related Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to such Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with such Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

27. Except as set forth in the ESA (as defined herein), to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property and there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. The related Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Mortgaged Property, except for

those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Whole Loans related to Senior Interests, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with the related Whole Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed”); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch in an amount equal to or not less than 100% of the funds reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure such circumstance or condition; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and Seller has reasonably estimated that the responsible party has financial resources adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) to Seller’s Knowledge, need for further investigation.

In the case of each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan that is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer thereof (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (ii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”)

and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (b) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing such Whole Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of such Whole Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iii) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no Knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (iv) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the related Whole Loan.

28. With respect to each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, each related Mortgage, assignment of leases, or one or more of the other Purchased Asset Documents, contains provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

29. No issuer of the Purchased Asset, no co-participant, no Underlying Obligor related to any Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, no Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of a multi-tenant Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Underlying Obligor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is the subject of, or is a debtor in, state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

30. Except for the related Purchased Asset, each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest is a whole loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization (except that an ARD loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date). No Mortgagor has issued preferred equity with debt-like characteristics.

31. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, subject to specific exceptions set forth below and to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage or loan agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal

balance of such Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than (i) by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related underlying Purchased Asset Documents) in a mortgagor, (iv) issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other Whole Loans or (v) transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (34) below), or (b) the related Mortgaged Property or controlling interest in the borrower is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any existing permitted additional debt, (ii) any purchase money security interests, or (iii) Permitted Liens or Title Exceptions. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval, including any Rating Agency fees incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance.

32. With respect to each Senior Interest and the related Whole Loan, except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use, value or operation of such Mortgaged Property and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the due diligence file related to the applicable Purchased Asset was delivered to Buyer or its designee and neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the related Whole Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be released without the consent of the holder of such Senior Interest; (b) no material action may be taken by the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the consent of the holder of such Senior Interest; (c) the holder of such Senior Interest is entitled to approve the budget of the Mortgagor as it relates to the Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of such Senior Interest’s consent is required prior to the Mortgagor incurring any additional indebtedness.

33. Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate or the related servicer during the six (6) month period prior to the related origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date.

34. Except as set forth in the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, since origination, no material portion of any related Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest or the Purchased Asset or materially interferes

with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Whole Loan secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the related Whole Loan (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the related Whole Loan, (c) where a partial release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal (including REMIC, if applicable) requirements and the payment of a release price not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with certain underwriting and legal requirements (including REMIC Provisions, if applicable) or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for the related Whole Loan or that were not allocated any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of such Whole Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, the terms of the related Mortgage do not provide for release of any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full therefor.

With respect to any partial release, either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Whole Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any Whole Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Whole Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any related Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of such Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the related Whole Loan.

With respect to any related Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, no such Whole Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Whole Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

35. With respect to each Underlying Whole Loan, to Seller’s Knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any Governmental Authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, there are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes or land laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation and occupancy thereof other than those which (i) are insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws and ordinances.

36. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan, none of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related Mortgaged Property lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of the related Mortgaged Property (except Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property or related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

37. To Seller’s Knowledge based on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan, the related Mortgagor has been duly organized and is

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with requisite power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, the sole purpose of the related Mortgagor under its organizational documents is to own, finance, sell or otherwise manage the Mortgaged Properties and to engage in any and all activities related or incidental thereto, and the Mortgaged Properties constitute the sole assets of the related Mortgagor. The related Mortgagor has covenanted in its respective organizational documents and/or the underlying Purchased Asset Documents to own no significant asset other than the related Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, and assets incidental to its respective ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Properties, and to hold itself out as being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other Person.

38. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no pending, filed or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, governmental investigations or arbitrations of which Seller has received notice, against the Mortgagor, guarantor or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (f) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Whole Loan, (g) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

39. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, if the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, currently, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and serving under such Mortgage or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Whole Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

40. With respect to the Purchased Asset and each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, such Whole Loan and the Purchased Asset and all interest thereon (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) contracted for complied as of the date of origination with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

41. The Senior Interest and related Whole Loan are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Indebtedness that is not also a Purchased Asset.

42. The improvements located on the Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the Mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount equal to the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

43. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the underlying Purchased Asset Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer, or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the related Whole Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

44. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the related Mortgagor, or the related lessee, franchisor or operator was in possession of all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals then required for the use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property by the related Mortgagor, other than any licenses, permits and authorizations the failure to possess of which would not have a material adverse effect on the use or value of the Mortgaged Property. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to maintain all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

45. With respect to the Senior Interest and each related Whole Loan, the origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used with respect to such Senior Interest and the related Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans.

46. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, except for Mortgagors under Whole Loans secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Mortgaged Property.

47. The Purchased Asset Documents for each related Whole Loan provide that such Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that each such Whole Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. Furthermore, the Purchased Asset Documents for each related Whole Loan provide for recourse against the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but

may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) any Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents (following an event of default), security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or willful material misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct, fraud or misrepresentation by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the related Mortgaged Property.

48. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) and upon possession of the Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any assignment of leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest establishes and creates a valid, first priority and enforceable collateral assignment of, or a valid first priority and enforceable lien and security interest in, the related Mortgagor’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property, subject only to a license granted to the related mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage or related assignment of leases, subject to applicable law and to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), provides that, upon an event of default under such related Whole Loan, the beneficiary thereof is permitted to seek the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

49. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

50. If any Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two (2) years after any securitization of the related Whole Loan or the Senior Interest and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Note when due. If the related Whole Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the related Whole Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity. No related Whole Loan was originated with the intent to

collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if the Mortgage related to any such Whole Loan contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder thereof can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related underlying Purchased Asset Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the underlying Purchased Asset Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance will not cause any such holder to lose its status as a REMIC, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Whole Loan or the Senior Interest.

51. To the extent required under applicable law as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, each holder of the related Mortgage Note is authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Whole Loan.

52. Neither the Mortgagee, the holder of the Senior Interest nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Senior Interest or the related Whole Loan. Except in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, neither the Mortgagee, the holder of the Senior Interest nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make loans to, make guarantees on behalf of, or otherwise extend credit to, or make any of the foregoing for the benefit of, the Mortgagor or any other person under or in connection with the Senior Interest or the related Whole Loan.

53. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, each related Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted or applied to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

54. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Whole Loan origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute and had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of such Whole Loan. Such Appraisal satisfied in all material respects the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Whole Loan was originated.

55. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the Mortgagee with certain financial information at the times required under such Purchased Asset Documents.

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

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

(i) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction, and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date. The Ground Lease does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Underwriting Package.

(ii) Upon the foreclosure of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the related Whole Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor.

(iii) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

(iv) Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and no condition which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

(v) The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee. The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement further provides

that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel.

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

(vii) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

(viii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity date of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest.

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

(x) Under the terms of the Ground Lease (or an estoppel or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee) and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, together with any accrued interest

(xi) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

(xii) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease with Seller upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

(xiii) The ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of such Whole Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to the Mortgagee and (iv) it would accept cure from the Mortgagee on behalf of the ground lessee.

58. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement include an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Mortgagee against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each related Whole Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

59. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Whole Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception, there is no mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property.

60. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage, and the holder of the Mortgage (if not the holder of the Senior Interest) is required to provide the holder of the Senior Interest, with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements, with respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest with more than one Mortgagor or with an original principal balance greater than $50 million, are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

61. With respect to each Senior Interest with a related Whole Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from

coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each related Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if the TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the related Mortgagor is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

62. Each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest requires the Mortgagor to be a Single Purpose Entity for at least as long as such Whole Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each related Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single Purpose Entity, and each related Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Schedule 1(b), a “Single Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if such Whole Loan has a Purchase Date principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Whole Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Whole Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

63. Each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest (other than any such Whole Loan that bears interest at a floating rate) bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Whole Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest that bears interest at a floating rate, such Whole Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR or SOFR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). If such related Whole Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin, the related Purchased Asset Documents include LIBOR replacement language substantially consistent with the “hardwired approach” fallback language recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee for new origination LIBOR bilateral business loans.

64. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, complied, at the time of origination, in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of, as appropriate, all of Seller’s or such party’s origination, due diligence standards and/or practices for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as applicable, and, in each such case, otherwise complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

65. Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest.

66. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) and all owners that hold a (a) in the case of owners domiciled in the United States, 20% or greater and (b) in the case of owners domiciled outside of the United States, 10% or greater, direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Based solely on the searches performed by Seller in connection with the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

67. With respect to each Senior Interest with a related Whole Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each related Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the origination date of the related Whole Loan, and each such estoppel indicated (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each related Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within ninety (90) days of the origination date of the related Whole Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Whole Loan that is represented on the rent roll. To Seller’s knowledge, each rent roll indicated that (x) each lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with cotenancy provisions.

68. Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest.

69. Except as included in the Underwriting Package, no default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien relating to the Mortgaged Property ranking junior to, pari passu with or senior to the Mortgage securing the Whole Loan relating to such Senior Interest, and there is no provision in any such agreement which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien.

70. To Seller’s Knowledge, the representations and warranties made by the Mortgagor in the Purchased Asset Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and to Seller’s Knowledge there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mortgagor, the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest or the related Mortgaged Property that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the Purchase Date.

71. The Senior Interest has not been and shall not be deemed to be a Security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Ground Lease”: A ground lease containing the following terms and conditions: (a) a remaining term (exclusive of any unexercised extension options) of thirty (30) years or more from the Purchase Date of the related Asset, (b) the right of the lessee to mortgage and encumber its interest in the leased property without the consent of the lessor or with such consent given, (c) the obligation of the lessor to give the holder of any mortgage lien on such leased property written notice of any defaults on the part of the lessee and agreement of such lessor that such lease will not be terminated until such holder has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosures, and fails to do so, (d) reasonable transferability of the lessee’s interest under such lease, including ability to sublease, and (e) such other rights customarily required by mortgagees making a loan secured by the interest of the holder of the leasehold estate demised pursuant to a ground lease.

“Servicing File:” A copy of the Underwriting Package and documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Underwriting Package that (i) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Whole Loans related to Senior Interests, (ii) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the related Whole Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the related Whole Loans or holders of interests therein and (iii) are in the possession or under the control of Seller, provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Mezzanine Loan, that except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception for such Purchased Asset, as of the related Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the representations set forth on this Schedule 1(c) shall be true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(c) and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a Mezzanine Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset or has repurchased such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

1. The Mezzanine Loan is a performing mezzanine loan secured by a pledge of all of the Capital Stock of a Mortgagor that owns income producing commercial real estate or multifamily property, and the underlying Whole Loan is a performing Whole Loan secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered or made accessible (which includes Seller granting Buyer access to Servicer’s data portal) to Buyer with respect to each Mezzanine Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Agreement.

2. Such Mezzanine Loan, and the underlying Whole Loan, each complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan, as applicable.

3. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, no Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Note was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, such Mezzanine Loan, and Seller is transferring such Mezzanine Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Mezzanine Loan, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Liens) and Title Exceptions. Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Mezzanine Loan on the related Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer, all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Mezzanine Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. There are no participation agreements affecting such Mezzanine Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mezzanine Loan to Buyer.

4. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Mezzanine Loan nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Mezzanine Loan.

5. At the time of origination of such Mezzanine Loan, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with such Mezzanine Loan complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily loans.

6. Except as included in the Underwriting Package or the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer or Custodian prior to the Purchase Date, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement that by its terms modifies or materially affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Mezzanine Loan or underlying Whole Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument, agreement or other Purchased Asset Document and no such change or waiver exists, except for documents executed after the related Purchase Date that either (i) do not constitute Material Modifications, or (ii) constitute Material Modifications that were approved in writing by Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.

7. Such Mezzanine Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow or reserve accounts, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

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

9. Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the Purchased Asset Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with customary restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Institutional Lender/Owners”, “Qualified Institutional Lenders” or similar transfer restriction provisions in the Purchased Asset Documents, the related Purchased Asset Documents contain no provision limiting the right or ability of any holder thereof to assign, transfer and convey all or any portion of such Mezzanine Loan to any other Person, and no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Mezzanine Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Mezzanine Loan (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer) or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Mezzanine Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any customary “prohibited transferee” list specified in the Purchased Asset Documents) to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

10. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Mezzanine Loan.

11. Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Mezzanine Loan is or may become obligated under the Purchased Asset Documents which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mezzanine Loan.

12. Seller has not advanced funds, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, received any advance of funds from a party other than the borrower under the Mezzanine Loan (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) relating to such Mezzanine Loan or the related Mezzanine Note, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Note. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan, Seller has not advanced funds, or, to Seller’s Knowledge, received any advance of funds from a party other than the other than the Mortgagor relating to such Whole Loan or related Mortgage Note, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Whole Loan or related Mortgage Note.

13. Each Mortgage Note relating to a Mezzanine Loan, related Mortgage, assignment of leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage), guaranty and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such underlying Whole Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby and/or security provided thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). With respect to any underlying Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the related Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

14. Except as set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16), with respect to the underlying Whole Loan, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any Mortgage Note related to a Mezzanine Loan, related Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

15. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original promissory note made in respect of such Mezzanine Loan, together with an original endorsement thereof, executed by Seller in blank.

16. With respect to the underlying Whole Loan, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of assignment of leases (if applicable) from Seller in blank constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each related Mortgage and assignment of leases evidences a first-priority lien, and each is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each underlying Mortgaged Property (subject to Title Exceptions) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for, or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy.

17. The underlying Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related underlying Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether underground leases, space leases or operating leases) pertaining to the related underlying Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such underlying Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other underlying Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other underlying Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with

the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property. Each title policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the underlying Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. There are no underlying Whole Loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related underlying Mortgaged Property or such underlying Whole Loan. The Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the underlying Mortgaged Property, no claims under the title policies insuring the Mortgagor’s title to the underlying Mortgaged Properties have been made, and the Mortgagor has not received any written notice regarding any material violation of any easement, restrictive covenant or similar instrument affecting the underlying Mortgaged Property.

18. UCC financing statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, located on the underlying Mortgaged Property that are owned by the related Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related underlying Whole Loan) material to the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such underlying Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property) to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing of UCC financing statements, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related underlying Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on the items of personalty described above, which security interest is senior to all other creditors of the Mortgagor, other than with respect to Permitted Liens, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

19. All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) or installments thereof, which would be a lien on any related underlying Mortgaged Property and that have become delinquent in respect of such underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and

installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

20. Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Properties, to Seller’s Knowledge, each related underlying Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or which are then-currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the related underlying Whole Loan and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such underlying Mortgaged Property.

Except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, an engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each underlying Whole Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related underlying Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related underlying Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per underlying Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller (or the originator of such underlying Whole Loan, if applicable) with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no material issues with the physical condition of the underlying Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the underlying Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

21. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, the lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such underlying Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions; the Mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and Seller and will inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee of record; such title policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. Such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

22. Insurance coverage is being maintained with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such underlying Mortgaged Property is located, and (A) with respect to a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” insurance policy that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment located on such underlying Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation) or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan, and in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such underlying Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to twelve (12) months of operations of the related underlying Mortgaged Property (or with respect to each underlying Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (B) for an underlying Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (C) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related underlying Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller. Except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar mortgage loan and which are set forth in the Purchased Asset Documents and/or any underlying Whole Loan related to the underlying Mortgaged Property, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related underlying Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related underlying Whole Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related underlying Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The underlying Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a

475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 150% of the PML. If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related underlying Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

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

23. Except by written instruments included in the Underwriting Package, Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Note (or underlying Purchased Asset Documents) and pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents, and no Person or party other than the holder of such Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Note or underlying Whole Loan or Mortgage Note (or its servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under either of such Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Note or the underlying Purchased Asset Documents.

24. Such Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan are not, and since their origination, have not been thirty (30) days or more past due. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mezzanine Borrower or Mortgagor or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.

25. Each Mortgage related to the underlying Whole Loan does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note related to such Mezzanine Loan, the related underlying Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the related underlying Purchased Asset Documents permits the related underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to

the related Purchase Date without the prior written consent of the holder of such underlying Whole Loan, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related underlying Whole Loan).

26. To the extent such underlying Whole Loan is identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, such underlying Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and (A) the issue price of the underlying Whole Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the underlying Whole Loan and (B) either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such underlying Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such underlying Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such underlying Mortgage Loan was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the principal amount of the underlying Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the related Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to the underlying Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the underlying Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced underlying Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such underlying Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such underlying Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such underlying Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such underlying Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced underlying Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such underlying Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such underlying Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

27. Except as set forth in the ESA (as defined herein), to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the underlying Mortgaged Property and there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the underlying Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the underlying Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the underlying Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the underlying Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain underlying Whole Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such underlying Whole Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the underlying Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related underlying Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed”); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, S&P and/or Fitch in an amount equal to or not less than 100% of the funds reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure such circumstance or condition; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and Seller has reasonably estimated that the responsible party has financial resources adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the underlying Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) to Seller’s Knowledge, need for further investigation.

In the case of each underlying Whole Loan that is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer thereof (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and the trustee is a named insured under such policy, (ii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related underlying Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related underlying Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (b) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related underlying Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the underlying Whole Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the underlying Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the underlying Whole Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iii) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no Knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the underlying Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (a) the application for insurance, (b) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (c) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (iv) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the underlying Whole Loan.

28. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, each related Mortgage, assignment of leases, or one or more of the other Purchased Asset Documents, contains provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the underlying Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

29. Neither the underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of a multi-tenant underlying Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgagor under any underlying Whole Loan, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

30. The underlying Whole Loan is a Whole Loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related underlying Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization (except that an ARD loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date). No Mortgagor has issued preferred equity with debt-like characteristics.

31. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan, subject to specific exceptions set forth below and to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related underlying Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage or loan agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such underlying Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related underlying Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than (i) by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents) in a mortgagor, (iv) issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to underlying Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other underlying Whole Loans or (v) transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the underlying Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (34) below), or (b) the related underlying Mortgaged Property or controlling interest in the borrower is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related underlying Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any existing permitted additional debt, (ii) any purchase money security interests, or (iii) Permitted Liens or Title Exceptions. The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval, including any Rating Agency fees incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance. The Purchased Asset Documents provide for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan if (i) the Mezzanine Borrower voluntarily transfers or encumbers all or any portion of any related collateral pledged in respect of such Mezzanine Loan, or (ii) any direct or indirect interest in the Mezzanine Borrower is voluntarily transferred or assigned, other than, in each case, as permitted under the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

32. Except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage relating to such Mezzanine Loan or the use, value or operation of such underlying Mortgaged Property and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the due diligence file related to the applicable underlying Whole Loan was delivered to Buyer or its designee and neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the underlying Mortgaged Property may be released without the consent of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan; (b) no material action may be taken by the underlying Property Owner with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property without the consent of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan; (c) the holder of the Mezzanine Loan is entitled to approve the budget of the underlying Mortgagor as it relates to the underlying Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of the Mezzanine Loan’s consent is required prior to the underlying Mortgagor incurring any additional indebtedness.

33. Each related underlying Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate or the related servicer during the six (6) month period prior to the related origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date.

34. Except as set forth in the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, since origination, no material portion of any related underlying Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the Mortgage related to such Mezzanine Loan in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Whole Loan or the Purchased Asset or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to underlying Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the underlying Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of an underlying Whole Loan secured by multiple underlying Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such underlying Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the underlying Whole Loan (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the underlying Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the underlying Whole Loan, (c) where a partial release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal (including REMIC, if applicable) requirements and the payment of a release price not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with certain underwriting and legal requirements (including REMIC Provisions, if applicable) or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the underlying Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for the underlying Whole Loan or that were not allocated any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the underlying Whole Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the underlying Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, the terms of the related Mortgage do not provide for release of any portion of the underlying Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full therefor.

With respect to any partial release, either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject underlying Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject underlying Whole Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any underlying Whole Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such underlying Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any underlying Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such underlying Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an underlying Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the underlying Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the underlying Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining underlying Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan.

With respect to any underlying Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such underlying Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, no such underlying Whole Loan that is secured by more than one underlying Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another underlying Whole Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related underlying Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

35. To Seller’s Knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any Governmental Authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans, there are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes or land laws applicable to the underlying Mortgaged Property or the use, operation and occupancy thereof other than those which (i) are insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the underlying Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such underlying Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the underlying Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the underlying Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the underlying Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such underlying Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents require the underlying Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws and ordinances.

36. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s

Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan, none of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related underlying Mortgaged Property lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property (except underlying Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such underlying Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such underlying Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

38. To Seller’s Knowledge, there are no pending, filed or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, governmental investigations or arbitrations of which Seller has received notice, against the Mezzanine Borrower, Mortgagor, guarantor or the related underlying Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of any Mortgage securing the underlying Whole Loan, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such underlying Whole Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the underlying Purchased Asset Documents, (f) the current ability of the underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such underlying Whole Loan, (g) the use, operation or value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (h) the current principal use of the underlying Mortgaged Property or (i) the Mezzanine Borrower.

39. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, if the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, currently, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and serving under such Mortgage or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related underlying Mortgaged Property or related security for such Whole Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

42. The improvements located on the underlying Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the Mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount equal to the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

43. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer, or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the underlying Whole Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

44. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, the related Mortgagor, or the related lessee, franchisor or operator was in possession of all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals then required for the use and operation of the related underlying Mortgaged Property by the related

Mortgagor, other than any licenses, permits and authorizations the failure to possess of which would not have a material adverse effect on the use or value of the underlying Mortgaged Property. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to maintain all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related underlying Mortgaged Property is located.

45. With respect to the Mezzanine Loan and related Whole Loan, the origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used with respect to such Mezzanine Loan and related underlying Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of mezzanine loans and commercial mortgage loans.

46. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, except for Mortgagors under underlying Whole Loans secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related underlying Mortgaged Property.

47. The Purchased Asset Documents for such underlying Whole Loan provide that such underlying Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that the underlying Whole Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. Furthermore, the Purchased Asset Documents for each underlying Whole Loan provide for recourse against the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) any Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents (following an event of default), security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or willful material misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct, fraud or misrepresentation by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the underlying Mortgaged Property.

48. Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) and upon possession of the underlying Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any assignment of leases set forth in the Mortgage related to such Mezzanine Loan or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each underlying Whole Loan establishes and creates a valid, first priority and enforceable collateral assignment of, or a valid first priority and enforceable lien and security interest in, the related Mortgagor’s interest in all

leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property, subject only to a license granted to the related mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage or related assignment of leases, subject to applicable law and to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), provides that, upon an event of default under such underlying Whole Loan, the beneficiary thereof is permitted to seek the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

49. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

50. If any related underlying Whole Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such underlying Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two years after any securitization of the underlying Whole Loan and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Note when due. If the underlying Whole Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the underlying Whole Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity. No related underlying Whole Loan was originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if the Mortgage related to any such underlying Whole Loan contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related underlying Purchased Asset Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the underlying Purchased Asset Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related underlying Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance will not cause any holder to lose its status as a REMIC, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related underlying Whole Loan.

51. To the extent required under applicable law as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the underlying Whole Loan, each holder of the related Mortgage Note was authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such underlying Whole Loan.

52. Neither the holder of the Mezzanine Loan (the “Mezzanine Lender”) nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan or to the Mortgagor under the underlying Whole Loan. Except in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, neither the Mezzanine Lender nor any affiliate thereof has no obligation to make loans to, make guarantees on behalf of, or otherwise extend credit to, or make any of the foregoing for the benefit of, the Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan or to the Mortgagor under the underlying Whole Loan or any other person under or in connection with the Mezzanine Loan or the underlying Whole Loan.

53. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, each related underlying Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted or applied to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

54. An Appraisal of the related underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of the underlying Whole Loan; with an appraisal date within 6 months of the underlying Whole Loan origination date and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the underlying Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the underlying Whole Loan. Such Appraisal satisfied in all material respects the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act or 1989, as in effect on the date such underlying Whole Loan was originated.

55. With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mezzanine Borrower to provide the Mezzanine Lender with certain financial information at the times required under such Purchased Asset Documents.

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

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

(i) Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction, and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the Mortgage related to such Mezzanine Loan or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date. The Ground Lease does not restrict the use of the related underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Underwriting Package.

(ii) Upon the foreclosure of the underlying Whole Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the underlying Whole Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor.

(iii) Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

(iv) Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and no condition which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

(v) The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee. The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel.

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

(vii) A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

(viii) Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity date of the underlying Whole Loan.

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

(x) Under the terms of the Ground Lease (or an estoppel or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee) and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related underlying Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan, together with any accrued interest

(xi) The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

(xii) The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease with Seller upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

(xiii) The ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Mezzanine Loan is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of the Mezzanine Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to Mezzanine Lender and (iv) it would accept cure from Mezzanine Lender on behalf of the ground lessee.

58. The Purchased Asset Documents for each underlying Whole Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement include an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Mortgagee against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage related to such Mezzanine Loan or related security agreement for each underlying Whole Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

59. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as an underlying Whole Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related underlying Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception, there is no mezzanine debt related to the underlying Mortgaged Property other than the Mezzanine Loan.

60. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan, each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements, with respect to each underlying Whole Loan with more than one Mortgagor or with an original principal balance greater than $50 million, are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the underlying Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

61. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other underlying Whole Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if the TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the related Mortgagor is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased

Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

62. Each underlying Whole Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single Purpose Entity for at least as long as the underlying Whole Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each underlying Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single Purpose Entity, and each underlying Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Schedule 1(c), a “Single Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the underlying Whole Loan has a Purchase Date principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the underlying Mortgaged Properties securing the underlying Whole Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such underlying Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such underlying Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for an underlying Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related underlying Whole Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

63. The Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mezzanine Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan that bears interest at a floating rate, such Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR or SOFR plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate). If such Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a floating rate of interest that is based on LIBOR plus a margin, the related Purchased Asset Documents include LIBOR replacement language substantially consistent with the “hardwired approach” fallback language recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee for new origination LIBOR bilateral business loans.

64. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to the Mezzanine Loan and each underlying Whole Loan, complied, at the time of origination, in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of, as appropriate, all of Seller’s or such party’s origination, due diligence standards and/or practices for similar mezzanine and commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as applicable, and, in each such case, otherwise complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

65. Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related underlying Whole Loan.

66. Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mezzanine Borrower and related Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) and all owners that hold a (a) in the case of owners domiciled in the United States, 20% or greater and (b) in the case of owners domiciled outside of the United States, 10% or greater, direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Based solely on the searches performed by Seller in connection with the related Mezzanine Loan and the related underlying Whole Loan, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

67. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related underlying Whole Loan, and each such estoppel indicated (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each underlying Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related underlying Whole Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the underlying Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure an underlying Whole Loan that is represented on the rent roll. To Seller’s Knowledge, each rent roll indicated that (x) each lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the underlying Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

68. Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mezzanine Loan and, if applicable, the underlying Whole Loan.

69. Except as included in the Underwriting Package, no default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien or other interest that ranks pari passu with or junior or senior to the interests of the holder of such Mezzanine Loan or with respect to any underlying Whole Loan or other indebtedness in respect of the related underlying Mortgaged Property and there is no provision in any agreement related to any such lien, interest or loan which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien, other interest or loan.

70. To Seller’s Knowledge, the representations and warranties made by the Mezzanine Borrower in the Purchased Asset Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and to Seller’s Knowledge there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mezzanine Borrower that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the Purchase Date.

71. The collateral pledged in respect of such Mezzanine Loan is secured by a pledge of equity ownership interests in the related borrower under the underlying Whole Loan that is senior to the Mezzanine Loan or a direct or indirect owner of the related borrower and the security interest created thereby has been fully perfected in favor of Seller as the Mezzanine Lender.

72. Seller’s security interest in the Mezzanine Loan is covered by a UCC-9 insurance policy (the “UCC-9 Policy”) in the maximum principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan insuring that the related pledge is a valid first priority lien on the collateral pledged in respect of such Mezzanine Loan, subject only to the exceptions stated therein (or a pro forma title policy or marked up title insurance commitment on which the required premium has been paid exists which evidences that such UCC-9 Policy will be issued), such UCC-9 Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder, Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under the UCC-9 Policy, and the UCC-9 Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) inures to the benefit of Buyer without the consent of or notice to the insurer. To the extent Seller was granted a security interest with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, such interest (i) was given for due consideration, (ii) has attached, (iii) is perfected, (iv) is a first priority Lien, and (v) has been appropriately assigned to Buyer, by Seller.

“Ground Lease”: A ground lease containing the following terms and conditions: (a) a remaining term (exclusive of any unexercised extension options) of thirty (30) years or more from the Purchase Date of the related Asset, (b) the right of the lessee to mortgage and encumber its interest in the leased property without the consent of the lessor or with such consent given, (c) the obligation of the lessor to give the holder of any mortgage lien on such leased property written notice of any defaults on the part of the lessee and agreement of such lessor that such lease will not be terminated until such holder has had a reasonable opportunity to cure or complete foreclosures, and fails to do so, (d) reasonable transferability of the lessee’s interest under such lease, including ability to sublease, and (e) such other rights customarily required by mortgagees making a loan secured by the interest of the holder of the leasehold estate demised pursuant to a ground lease.

“Servicing File:” A copy of the Underwriting Package and documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Underwriting Package that (i) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan, (ii) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the

Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan and underlying Whole Loan or holders of interests therein and (iii) are in the possession or under the control of Seller, provided that Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.1 Representations and Warranties.

(a) Originator Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Pledgee that, so long as any of the Repurchase Obligations remain outstanding or any Repurchase Document is in effect and until all of the Repurchase Obligations shall have been terminated:

(i) Organization. Originator Pledgor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and regulations of the state of Originator Pledgor’s organization and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Originator Pledgor’s

business. Originator Pledgor has the power to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, and Originator Pledgor has the power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) Due Execution; Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Originator Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Originator Pledgor, enforceable against Originator Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in proceedings in equity or at law).

(iii) Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Originator Pledgor will not violate any law, treaty, rule or regulation or determination of an arbitrator, a court or other governmental authority applicable to or binding upon Originator Pledgor or any of its property or to which Originator Pledgor or any of its property is subject (“Requirement of Law”), or any provision of any security issued by Originator Pledgor or of any material agreement, instrument or other undertaking to which Originator Pledgor is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound (“Contractual Obligation”), and will not result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the properties or revenues of Originator Pledgor pursuant to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Originator Pledgor.

(iv) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the best knowledge of Originator Pledgor, threatened against Originator Pledgor or any of its assets, which may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition or properties of Originator Pledgor, or which may have an adverse effect on the validity of this Agreement or any material action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Originator Pledgor hereunder.

RIGHTS OF PLEDGEE

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, on failure of Originator Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, Pledgee may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, after written notice thereto to Originator Pledgor, perform or cause to be performed the same and in so doing may expend such sums as Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures that Pledgee may make for the protection of the security hereof or that Pledgee may be compelled to make by operation of applicable law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by Originator Pledgor promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Repurchase Obligations and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. No such performance of any covenant or agreement by Pledgee on behalf of Originator Pledgor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve Originator Pledgor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or the other Repurchase Documents. Pledgee may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, 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 Originator Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

Section 5.2 Rights of Pledgee.

(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, Originator Pledgor hereby designates and appoints Pledgee and each of its officers or agents as attorney-in-fact of Originator Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and give discharges and releases concerning the Pledged Collateral, all as Pledgee may determine in respect of the Pledged Collateral;

(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

(iii) to defend, settle, adjust or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as Pledgee may deem appropriate in respect of the Pledged Collateral; provided that the same does not impose any civil or criminal liability on Originator Pledgor or contain an admission of guilt on the part of Originator Pledgor;

(iv) to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Pledged Collateral;

(v) to direct any parties liable for any payment under or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to Pledgee or as Pledgee shall direct;

(vi) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral;

(vii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, notices and other documents relating to the Pledged Collateral;

(viii) to execute and deliver and/or file all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, continuation statements, pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that Pledgee may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and Liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated herein; and

(ix) to do and perform all such other acts and things as Pledgee may deem to be necessary, proper or advisable to enforce Pledgee’s rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Repurchase Obligations remain outstanding or any Repurchase Document is in effect and until all of the Repurchase Obligations shall have been terminated. Pledgee shall not be under any duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to Pledgee in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. Pledgee shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions or for any errors of judgment or any mistakes of law or fact resulting from Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith. This power of attorney is conferred on Pledgee solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

(b) Pledgee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to ensure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while being held by Pledgee hereunder, Pledgee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that Originator Pledgor shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral, and Pledgee shall be relieved of all responsibility for Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to Originator Pledgor. Pledgee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Pledgee affords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that Pledgee shall have no responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

Section 5.3 Application of Proceeds.

After the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Repurchase Documents, any payments in respect of the Repurchase Obligations and any proceeds of any Pledged Collateral, when received by Pledgee in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Repurchase Obligations in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Repurchase Agreement. Originator Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that Pledgee shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the order set forth in Section 5.03 of the Repurchase Agreement, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

Section 5.4 Intent.

(a) The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the security interest granted to Pledgee in this Agreement is granted to Pledgee to induce Pledgee to enter into the Repurchase Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereunder and (ii) such security interest relates to the Transactions as part of an integrated, simultaneously-closing suite of secured financial contracts.

(b) Originator Pledgor intends and agrees that (i) this Agreement, as it relates to the Repurchase Agreement, is a security agreement and credit enhancement related to a “repurchase agreement”, “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code and as such, is also a “repurchase agreement”, a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) each of Buyer’s rights—specifically, any right to terminate, liquidate or accelerate or any right to offset or net out termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations—arising under or in connection with this Agreement, is, in each case, a contractual right as such term is used in Sections 101(47), 559 and 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code when relating to a “repurchase agreement,” Sections 741(7)(A), 555 and 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code when relating to a “securities contract,” and Sections 101(38A)(A), 561 and 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code when relating to “a master netting agreement”.
