Buyer (as well as its counsel and any third-party due diligence provider) shall have the right to review all Eligible Assets proposed to be sold to Buyer in any Transaction and to conduct its own due diligence investigation of such Eligible Assets (including the related Mortgaged Properties and/or with respect to a Senior Interest or Mezzanine Loan, the related Whole Loan) as Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion, which due diligence investigation Buyer shall endeavor to complete within ten (10) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt from Seller of all of the following: a Transaction Request, the complete Underwriting/Due Diligence Package, any supplemental information furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any Supplemental Due Diligence List and such other information as may be requested by Buyer with respect to any Transaction. Buyer shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Eligible Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions (including, without limitation, whether to accept a proposed Eligible Asset as a Future Funding Asset). It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of representations and warranties made by Seller and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting/Due Diligence Package and any supplemental information furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any Supplemental Due Diligence List, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting/Due Diligence Package or any supplemental information furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any Supplemental Due Diligence List 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(s) from Seller notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies. Seller shall at all times prior to ▇▇▇▇▇’s exercise of remedies in respect of such Future Funding Eligible Asset pursuant to Section 14(b) remain solely liable for any additional advances required to be made in connection with any Future Funding Eligible Asset vis-à-vis the Mortgagor and Buyer shall be under no obligation vis-à-vis the Mortgagor to make any

additional advances under a Future Funding Eligible Asset until such exercise of remedies which results in Buyer or an Affiliate being the record holder of the Purchased Asset.

(b)Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly deliver to Seller a written confirmation (in electronic form) in the form of Exhibit B of each Transaction (a “Confirmation”), and provided each of the Transaction Conditions Precedent shall have been satisfied at or prior to the closing of the Transaction as determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (or affirmatively waived in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇, including as set forth in the Confirmation, if any), Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for such Transaction to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars in accordance with Section 7(a).

Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Eligible Asset on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. 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. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Purchased Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Program 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 Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset.

With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the succeeding Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine the Pricing Rate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on such Pricing Rate Determination Date.

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

(A)Buyer has received all documents, certificates, information, financial statements, reports, approvals and opinions of counsel as Buyer may reasonably require (including those listed in the related Confirmation, if any);

(B)no Default or Event of Default in each case under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction;

(C)Seller shall have delivered to Buyer all information which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ believes to be reasonably necessary for Buyer to make an informed business decision with

respect to the purchase of such Eligible Asset and Seller shall have certified to Buyer (which can be made via a representation in the related Confirmation) that Seller has no Knowledge of any material information concerning such Eligible Asset which is not reflected in the related Diligence Material or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing;

(D)other than Due Diligence Representations with respect to Purchased Assets not subject to the proposed Transaction, the representations and warranties made by each of Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor in the Program Documents to which it is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date and as modified by any Requested Exceptions Report);

(F)Servicer has received copies of the Purchased Asset File and any other documents required to be delivered under the Servicing Agreement;

(G)no Market Material Adverse Change shall have occurred;

(H)Seller has paid all fees and expenses then due and payable to Buyer under the Program Documents;

(c) On the Repurchase Date with respect to a Transaction, termination of such Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets relating to such Transaction and any Income in respect thereof received by ▇▇▇▇▇ (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price with respect to such

Transaction to an account of Buyer. In connection with any such termination of a Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence, upon its receipt of the Repurchase Price as confirmed by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have simultaneously released its security interest in such Purchased Asset and the related Collateral, shall authorize Custodian 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 by name, Seller may file an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset from Buyer’s security interest therein, and, if requested by Seller, Buyer shall deliver a Buyer’s Release to Seller (or Seller’s designee) releasing, its right, title and interest in such Purchase Asset and the related Collateral. 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 Buyer after payment in full of the Repurchase Price therefor and any other amounts due hereunder with respect to such Purchased Asset, and the release of such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be promptly transferred to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset, Seller shall repurchase such Purchased Asset by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations. In addition to the other rights and remedies of Buyer under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, Seller shall repurchase, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of written notice from Buyer requiring such repurchase, any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset (unless such Purchased Asset no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset due to the failure to satisfy clause (iii) of the definition of “Eligible Asset”, in which case Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days to repurchase such Purchased Asset) or cure the condition causing the applicable Purchased Asset to not be an Eligible Asset, by not later than the end of such five (5) Business Day or ten (10) Business Day period, as applicable.

(ii)Except as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default by Seller, no Transaction shall be terminable on demand by Buyer.

(B)on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Transaction(s) against transfer to Seller or its agent of such Purchased Asset, all in accordance with Section 3(c)(i); and

(C)in the case of the repurchase of a Whole Loan where the Related Purchased Asset is the subject of a Transaction, the Related Purchased Asset shall simultaneously be repurchased by Seller.

(d)No new Transactions shall be consummated after the end of the Availability Period. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, provided all of the Availability Period Extension Conditions shall have been satisfied in connection with such

extension, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend the Availability Period, each for a one (1) year period ending on the one-year anniversary date of the end of the then-current Availability Period (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day).

With respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a written request, to be delivered no more frequently than five (5) occasions each calendar quarter during the Availability Period (a “Margin Excess Request”), requesting that Buyer make an additional advance (a “Margin Excess Advance”) with respect to one or more Purchased Assets (it being understood and agreed that Seller shall be permitted to make a Margin Excess Request with respect to more than one Purchased Asset on each such occasion) in the amount requested by Seller in such Margin Excess Request that is not less than $250,000 (but not to exceed the Margin Excess for such Purchased Asset). Buyer shall by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Business Day of Buyer’s receipt of such Margin Excess Request, (x) transfer to Seller the amount of cash requested by Seller, and (y) deliver to Seller a revised Confirmation reflecting the corresponding increase in the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset. Buyer’s disbursement of any Margin Excess Advance (if any) shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, as determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion (or, in ▇▇▇▇▇’s sole discretion, waived):

(A)no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing both as of the date of such request and as of the date of the Margin Excess Advance;

(B)the Margin Excess Advance shall not cause (A) the aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets, plus (B) the requested Purchase Price for any pending Transaction, plus (C) the aggregate amount of any potential Future Funding Advance Draws with respect to all Purchased Assets, plus (D) the amount of any Margin Excess (after giving effect to such Margin Excess Advance), in the aggregate, to exceed the Facility Amount;

(C)the Effective Purchase Price Percentage after giving effect to such Margin Excess Advance shall not exceed the Purchase Price Percentage set forth in the related Confirmation for such Purchased Asset;

(D)there is no Purchase Price Margin Deficit immediately prior to and immediately after the Margin Excess Advance;

(E)other than representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit G with respect to Purchased Assets not subject to the Margin Excess Advance, the representations and warranties made by Seller in Article 9 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Margin Excess Advance with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date, and as modified by an Requested Exceptions Report); and

(F)No Tier Two Step Down Condition is continuing.

(f)Benchmark Replacement.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Program Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to any Benchmark prior to the Reference Time for any Pricing Rate Determination Date for such Benchmark, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement or under any other Program Document in respect of such setting and all settings on all subsequent dates (without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Program Document). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller may at any time agree to amend and restate any Confirmation with respect to any Transaction to replace the related Benchmark with respect to such Transaction with the applicable Benchmark Replacement.

(ii)In connection with the implementation or administration of any Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, in connection with any Benchmark Replacement Date or as a result of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, 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 Program Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller.

(iii)During a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Pricing Rate based on the applicable Benchmark shall, during the continuance of such Benchmark Unavailability Period, be replaced with a Benchmark Replacement reasonably determined by Buyer.

(iv)Buyer will promptly notify Seller of (a) any Benchmark Replacement Date, (b) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (c) the effectiveness of any changes to the calculation of the Pricing Rate described in Article 3(f)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by Buyer as set forth in this Article 3(f) may be provided, at the option of Buyer (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as a part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Buyer pursuant to this Article 3(f), 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 Buyer’s sole discretion and without consent from Seller.

(v)Buyer does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration, submission or any other matter related to SOFR or Term SOFR or with respect to any alternative

or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation any Benchmark Replacement implemented hereunder), (b) the composition or characteristics of any such Benchmark Replacement, including whether it is similar to, or produces the same value or economic equivalence to SOFR or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark) or have the same volume or liquidity as SOFR or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark), (c) any actions or use of its discretion or other decisions or determinations made with respect to any matters covered by Article 3(f) or Article 3(i) including, without limitation, whether or not a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, whether to declare a Benchmark Transition Event, the removal or lack thereof of unavailable or non-representative tenors of SOFR or Term SOFR (or any other Benchmark), the implementation or lack thereof of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, the delivery or non-delivery of any notices required by Article 3(f)(iv) or otherwise in accordance herewith, and (d) the effect of any of the foregoing provisions of Article 3(f) or Article 3(i).

(vi)Other than with respect to Buyer’s obligations and determination standard expressly set forth herein with respect to Benchmark Replacement, Buyer does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability to Seller hereunder or otherwise for, any loss, damage or claim arising from or relating to (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the then-current Benchmark, (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or (iii) any mismatch between the Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement and any of Seller’s other financing instruments (including those that are intended as ▇▇▇▇▇▇).

Buyer agrees to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 3(f) in a manner substantially similar to Buyer’s exercise of similar remedies in repurchase facility agreements with similarly situated customers where Buyer has a comparable contractual right.

(g)Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Program Documents, (i) the ability of Buyer to enter into new Transactions hereunder and the commitment of Buyer hereunder to continue Transactions shall be canceled, and (ii) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions on the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(h) of this Agreement. Buyer agrees to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 3(g) in a manner substantially similar to Buyer’s exercise of similar remedies in repurchase facility agreements with similarly situated customers where Buyer has a comparable contractual right.

(h)Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense (not to include any indirect or consequential damages or any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which Buyer sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(c)(ii) of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to a Purchased Asset on any day other than a Remittance Date or the Repurchase Date (or the Early Repurchase Date) with respect to such Purchased Asset (including, without limitation, any such actual, out-of-pocket loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from customary and reasonable fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained), (iii) conversion of any Transaction to an Alternative Rate Transaction pursuant to Section 3(g) of this Agreement on a day which is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period or (iv) any conversion of the Pricing Rate to the Alternative Rate because the Benchmark is not available for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Rate Period. A certificate as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein in the absence of manifest error.

(i)If after the date of this Agreement the adoption or taking effect of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof (each of the foregoing a “Change in Law”):

(i)shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to the Program Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction, or on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

(iii)shall impose on Buyer (other than Taxes) any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Program Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Buyer, pay Buyer any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If ▇▇▇▇▇ becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(i), it shall notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Buyer to demand compensation under this Section 3(i) shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s right to demand such compensation. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all Purchased Assets.

(j)If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change after the date of this Agreement in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any entity controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Buyer in respect of any Transaction hereunder or reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Buyer, pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. In determining any additional amounts due under this Section 3(j), Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Buyer to demand compensation under this Section 3(j) shall not constitute a waiver of Buyer’s right to demand such compensation. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Asset.

(k)On any Business Day during the Availability Period, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to Buyer, Seller shall have the right, from time to time, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the Purchase Price of, but not terminating, a Transaction and without the release of any Collateral and without any prepayment fee or penalty; provided, that (x) no such advance notice shall be required with respect to any payment made by Seller to cure a Purchase Price Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default, (y) each such transfer of cash shall be in a minimum amount equal to $250,000 and (z) Seller shall not be permitted to elect to transfer cash more often than five times in any calendar quarter (it being understood and agreed that Seller shall be permitted to reduce the Purchase Price with respect to more than one Purchased Asset on each such occasion).

4.MARGIN MAINTENANCE

(a)If, on any Business Day with respect to a Non-Performing Asset or a Significantly Impaired Asset, a Purchase Price Margin Deficit is continuing, then Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days after written notice from Buyer (or, if such written notice is received by Seller after 12:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, within three (3) Business Days after written notice from Buyer) (a “Purchase Price Margin Call”), transfer to Buyer immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to cure such Purchase Price Margin Deficit. Any additional cash transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4(a) with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be applied by Buyer, as determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, to reduce such Purchase Price Margin Deficit.

(b)The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 4, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under this Section 4 shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller. In the event that a Purchase Price Margin Deficit exists, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds shall be applied by Buyer against the Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset(s) for which the related Purchase Price Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Buyer retains the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a Purchase Price Margin Call in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Section 4.

5.INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a)The Repo Collection Account shall be established by Seller at Account Bank. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Repo Collection Account. All Income (other than Servicer Income) in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be deposited directly into the Repo Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. All such amounts shall be remitted by Account Bank in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 5(c) and 5(d) of this Agreement.

(b)If a Mortgagor, servicer, borrower or other obligor forwards any Income (other than Servicer Income) with respect to a Purchased Asset to Seller or any of its Affiliates rather than directly to the Repo Collection Account, Seller shall (i) make commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgagor, servicer, borrower or other obligor to forward such amounts directly to the Repo Collection Account, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Buyer and (iii) immediately deposit in the Repo Collection Account any such amounts.

(c)Income other than Principal Payments. From the Closing Date, so long as no Tier Two Step Down Condition or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets (other than Principal Payments) received by Servicer during each Pricing Rate Period and on deposit in the Repo Collection Account on the Remittance Date shall be applied by Account Bank on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i)first, to remit to (a) Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and expenses and (b) Account Bank and Servicer an amount equal to the depository fee and any unpaid Qualified Servicing Expenses (to the extent not retained by Servicer), if any, respectively, due and payable on such Remittance Date;

(ii)second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all Purchased Assets as of such Remittance Date;

Qualified Servicing Expenses (to the extent not retained by Servicer), if any, respectively, due and payable on such date;

(vi)sixth, at any time a Diversity Threshold Condition has occurred and is continuing, to remit to Buyer the remainder, such amount to be applied on a pari passu and pro rata basis to reduce the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions as determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, until the Effective Purchase Price Percentage of the Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions (calculated on a weighted average basis based upon the outstanding Purchase Price of each individual Purchased Asset) is equal to seventy percent (70%); and

(vii)seventh, to remit to Seller the remainder, if any.

(e)Tier One Step Down Condition and Tier Two Step Down Condition.

(A) Tier One Step Down Condition. From the Closing Date, so long as no Tier Two Step Down Condition or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets constituting Principal Payments received by Servicer during the continuance of a Tier One Step Down Condition shall be applied by Account Bank on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date such Principal Payment was deposited in the Repo Collection Account in the following order of priority:

(i)first, to the extent not paid in full pursuant to clause first of Section 5(c), to remit to (a) Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and expenses and (b) Account Bank and Servicer an amount equal to the depository fee and any unpaid Qualified Servicing Expenses (to the extent not retained by Servicer), if any, respectively, due and payable on such date;

(vii)seventh, to remit to Seller the remainder, if any.

(B) Tier Two Step Down Condition. From the Closing Date, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets received by Servicer during each Pricing Rate Period occurring during the continuance of a Tier Two Step Down Condition and on deposit in the Repo Collection Account on the Remittance Date shall be applied by Account Bank on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(vii)seventh, to remit to Seller the remainder, if any.

(f)At any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets received by Servicer during each Pricing Rate Period and on deposit in the Repo Collection Account on the Remittance Date shall be applied by Account Bank on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

6.SECURITY INTEREST

(a)Other than for U.S. tax purposes, ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a first priority lien on, and security interest in, all of its right, title, and interest in the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all amounts or obligations owing by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents:

(i)the Purchased Assets, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, all insurance relating to the Purchased Assets, Underlying Purchased Asset Reserves, any interest rate protection agreements entered into by a Mortgagor in connection with any Purchased Asset, and collection and escrow accounts relating to the Purchased Assets;

(ii)all “general intangibles,” “accounts,” “instruments” and “chattel paper” as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and

(iii)all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income (other than Servicer Income) and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the foregoing.

(b)For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby. Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto naming Seller as debtor and Buyer as secured party that (1) indicate the Collateral (i) as “all assets of the debtor whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, including all accessions thereto and products and proceeds thereof”, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (2) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Seller is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Seller.

(c)Buyer’s security interest in a Purchased Asset, or the Collateral as a whole, shall terminate only upon (i) in the case of an individual Purchased Asset, the repurchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Collateral as a whole, the repayment in full of all Repurchase Obligations (other than any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement and that are not then due and payable) and the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Documents. Upon any such termination, Buyer shall release its security interest in the Collateral, deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the Purchased Assets and all Purchased Asset Documents (or approve the return by the Custodian, as applicable) to Seller or Seller’s designee.

(d)Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transactions and the Program Documents and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Repo Collection Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein and all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to the Repo Collection Account.

7.PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a)On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the related Purchased Assets shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction. If, in any Confirmation or other written instruction to Buyer, Seller requests that funds be sent to an account or recipient other than pursuant to the wire instructions of Seller set forth on Annex II hereto, such Confirmation or other written instruction must be signed by two (2) authorized officers of Seller; provided, however, Buyer shall be under no obligation to determine whether Seller requires more than one (1) signatory for any Confirmation, and Buyer shall have no liability to Seller or any Person arising from a Confirmation that has only one (1) Seller signatory, and ▇▇▇▇▇ may fully rely on any Confirmation executed and delivered by Seller, regardless of the number of Seller signatories thereto.

(b)On or before such Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee the Purchased Asset Schedule. In connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Asset, on or prior to each Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Custodian the documents consisting of the Purchased Asset File and pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule delivered therewith; provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to cause a Bailee to execute and deliver to Buyer a Bailee Letter and Bailee Trust Receipt in connection with such Purchased Asset, and Seller shall deliver such Bailee Letter and Bailee Trust Receipt to Buyer on or before such Purchase Date and deliver (or cause to be delivered) such Purchased Asset File to Custodian by the fifth (5th) Business Day after the related Purchase Date; provided, further, that Seller shall deliver a certificate of an Authorized Representative of Seller certifying that any copies of documents delivered represent true and correct copies of the originals of such documents and, if applicable, that the originals of such documents have been submitted for recordation in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located). The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian). The possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset in accordance with the Program Documents, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in trust only for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. In addition, Seller shall deliver an instruction letter from Seller to Servicer with respect to each Purchased Asset, instructing Servicer to remit all Income to the Repo Collection Account as set forth in Section 5 hereof or as otherwise directed in a written notice signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset or Servicer with respect to each Purchased Asset, as applicable, remits any sums required to be remitted to the holder of each Purchased Asset under the loan documents to Seller or any of its Affiliates, Seller or its Affiliate shall hold such sums in trust for the benefit of Buyer and remit such sums, within two (2) Business Days of receipt, to Servicer for transfer to the Account Bank for deposit in the Repo Collection Account as set forth in Section 5 or as otherwise directed in the written notice signed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Buyer.

(c)From time to time, Seller shall forward or cause Servicer to forward to Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, Custodian shall hold such other documents as Custodian shall request pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Custodian a true copy thereof with an officer’s certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to Custodian promptly when they are received. With respect to all Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Custodian on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇, Seller shall execute an omnibus power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its attorney-in-fact with full power following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the following sentence, during the

occurrence and continuance of a monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, to (i) record the Assignment of Mortgage and assignment of assignment of leases and rents and (ii) take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records. If a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer has requested in writing that Seller take or cause to be taken any action that Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s or its designee’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Assets as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof (which writing shall include a statement that Buyer will exercise its power of attorney if Seller fails to take or cause to be taken such action requested by Buyer), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not complied with any such request promptly following receipt thereof, then Buyer (or its designee) may exercise its power of attorney during the existence and continuation of any such monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, as the case may be, as Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s or its designee’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Assets as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) hereof. Buyer shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with Custodian.

(v)if it obtains Knowledge or receives any written notice that Seller, Guarantor, Pledgor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor or any Person holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever therein (whether directly or indirectly) is named on any Government List (such occurrence, an “OFAC Violation”), Seller shall promptly (i) give written notice to Buyer of such OFAC Violation and (ii) comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws with respect to such OFAC Violation (regardless of whether the party included on the list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” maintained by OFAC is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of America), including the OFAC Laws; and

(u)For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Guarantor shall remain a “real estate investment trust” under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code.

(v)If there is a change in facts or circumstances occurring following the Purchase Date for any Purchased Asset that would render any Due Diligence Representation to be incorrect or untrue in any material respect if such Due Diligence Representation were to be remade at such time (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report approved by Buyer in writing in accordance with the terms hereof), then Seller shall pursue a reasonable remedy or cure for such Due Diligence Representation in a manner consistent with that of a prudent commercial real estate lender under the circumstances.

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

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

(B)to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction times (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction; and

(C)Custodian shall, upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets.

(iii)Buyer may in accordance with Requirements of Law (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Assets as determined by Buyer in good faith consistent with its and its Affiliates’ methods for determining the market value for similar commercial real estate portfolios against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Program Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected

pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5(d), with any amounts remaining after the payment of all Repurchase Obligations in full and the termination of this Agreement to be paid to Seller.

(iv)The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets subject to the Transactions hereunder are not instruments traded in a recognized market, and, in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets, Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole and good faith discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (1) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (2) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer under the Program Documents.

(v)Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all expenses, including legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all costs incurred in connection with covering transactions of the type described in Section 3(i), and (C) any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi)Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Program Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are characterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any of the Program Documents. 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 Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii)Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Program Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

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

(ix)Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller. Buyer will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 14(b)(ix). If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 14(b)(ix) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 14(b)(ix) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(x)Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s written request, execute and deliver to Buyer such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of assuring, perfecting and evidencing Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation: (A) forwarding to buyer or Buyer’s designee (including, if applicable, Custodian), any payments Seller or any of its Affiliates receives on account of the Purchased Assets, in each case promptly upon receipt thereof; (B) to the extent not already contained in the Purchased Asset File, delivering to Buyer or such designee any certificates, instruments, documents, notices or files evidencing or relating to the Purchased Assets which are in Seller’s possession or under its control; (C) to the extent not already contained in the Purchased Asset File, delivering to Buyer underwriting summaries, credit memos, asset summaries, status reports or similar documents relating to the Purchased Assets and in Seller’s possession or under its control.

(xi)Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall terminate upon payment and satisfaction in full of the Repurchase Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (a) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (b) that each of them shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (c) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any press communication or other media announcement relating to the Program Documents and/or the Transactions (other than such communications or announcements required by law as a result of Guarantor being a publicly traded company) must be mutually consented to in advance by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller in writing.

17.NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of attempted delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (d) by telecopier (with answerback acknowledged) provided that such telecopied notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above, or (e) by email with confirmation of delivery, in each case, to the address specified in Annex I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 17.

(b) Buyer may at any time grant to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in the Program Documents and/or any or all of the Transactions without the consent of, or prior notice to, Seller; provided, that so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, any such grant of Buyer of a participation interest to a Participant shall require the prior consent of Seller. In the event of any such grant by Buyer of a participation interest to a Participant, Buyer shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which Buyer may grant such a participation interest shall provide that Buyer shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Seller hereunder and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

Any participation of the Program Documents or Transactions may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Buyer shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Program Documents or the Transactions) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Program Documents or the Transactions are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register

as the owner of such participation for all purposes of the Program Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(c)Buyer may at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Program Documents and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement executed by such Assignee and Buyer; provided, that so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, any such assignment by Buyer to an Assignee shall require the prior consent of Seller. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such Buyer of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such Buyer and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights, protections and obligations of Buyer, and Buyer shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.

(d)Buyer may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release Buyer from its obligations hereunder.

(e)▇▇▇▇▇, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees and the amount of each Assignee’s interest in the Program Documents and/or Transactions held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion thereof which is the subject of the assignment (the “Register”). Any assignment of the Program Documents or Transactions may be effected only by the registration of such assignment on the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such assignment for all purposes of the Program Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior request.

20.GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any laws, rules or provisions of the State of New York that would cause the application of the laws, rules or provisions of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

21.NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such modification, waiver or consent shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto and accompanied by (i) a duly executed and delivered reaffirmation by Guarantor of the Guaranty and (ii) a duly executed and delivered reaffirmation by Pledgor of the Pledge Agreement.

22.USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in the Transaction, the Plan Party

shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

23.INTENT

(a)The parties intend (i) for this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) that payments made under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Sections 101 and 741(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Section 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) for the grant of a security interest/pledges of collateral in the Pledge Agreement to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) for the Guaranty to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (vi) that Buyer (as a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Sections 555, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” and a “repurchase agreement” and a “master netting agreement” including (x) the rights, set forth in Section 14 and in Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Section 23 and in Sections 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code and (z) the non-avoidability of transfers made in connection with this Agreement as set forth in Sections 546(e) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of any Transaction under this Agreement or this Agreement as a “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)It is understood that (i) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets and other Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; (ii) Buyer’s right to set-off claims and appropriate and apply any and all deposits of money or property or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of any Affiliate against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Seller pursuant to Section 33 hereof is a contractual right as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 561; and (iii) any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Purchase Price Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin payment” or “settlement payment” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38), (51A), 741(5) and 741(8).

(c)The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“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).

(d)It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

(e)In light of the intent set forth above in this Section 23, Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Buyer, Seller will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code for “securities contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to request, or Buyer’s or Seller’s failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “securities contracts” and/or a “master netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the security interests granted to Buyer in the Pledge Agreement are each granted to Buyer to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and (ii) such security interests and the Guaranty relate to the Transactions as part of an integrated, simultaneously-closing suite of secured financial contracts.

(g)Each party agrees that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is intended to create a mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement and each Transaction constitutes a contract that (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

24.DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

(a)in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

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

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

25.CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

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

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

(c)The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 25 shall affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

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

26.NO RELIANCE

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

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

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

(c)It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Program Documents and each

Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

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

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

27.INDEMNITY

(a)Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇’s Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, actual out-of-pocket losses, actual out-of-pocket damages, actual out-of-pocket penalties, actions, judgments, suits, actual out-of-pocket fees, actual out-of-pocket costs, actual out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law unless resulting from any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), damage suffered by any Indemnified Party by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by ▇▇▇▇▇ for all of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of its outside counsel. This Section 27 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b)Seller ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to save, indemnify and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC or any other Governmental Authority administering any Anti-Terrorism Law, Anti-Corruption Law or Sanctions, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable documented legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof, by any Indemnified Party in connection with the

Program Documents as a result of any action of Seller, Guarantor, Pledgor or any of Guarantor’s Subsidiaries.

28.DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect and make copies and extracts of the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Servicer or subservicer and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer upon reasonable advance notice a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets, and at least once annually, Buyer shall be permitted to visit Guarantor and/or Seller’s offices at a mutually agreeable time to meet with the investment and management teams regarding their investment and management strategies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third-party underwriter reasonably acceptable to Seller in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third-party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any information which Seller is not permitted to obtain from the obligors under the Purchased Asset Documents without cost or expense to Seller (other than de minimis cost or expense)). Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all actual out-of-pocket due diligence costs reasonably incurred by Buyer relating to Buyer’s review of any Purchased Asset (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual out-of-pocket outside legal costs, custodial fees and third-party due diligence costs and fees). Seller shall pay for all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with on-site diligence visits. Upon the request of ▇▇▇▇▇, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, with respect to any individual Purchased Asset, Seller shall obtain updated Appraisals of the Mortgaged Properties relating to such Purchased Asset.

29.SERVICING

(a)Seller and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date and such Servicing Rights shall be transferred by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets, and any servicing provisions of this Agreement or any other Program Document constitute (i) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (ii) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Program Documents. Notwithstanding the transfer of Servicing Rights to ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees that Servicer may continue to service the Purchased Assets (excluding the Servicing Rights) for the benefit of Buyer and ▇▇▇▇▇’s successors or assigns; provided, however, that such Servicer shall have entered into documentation satisfactory to Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s interest in the related Purchased Assets and its rights to sell such Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and to terminate

the term of such Servicer with respect to any Purchased Assets sold by Buyer upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Seller shall cause the Purchased Assets to be serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

(b)Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to the Servicing Agreement any and all other servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records (if any are in Seller’s possession) and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Buyer’s request.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) subject to Sections 14 and 19, sell its rights to the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and/or (ii) terminate any Servicer or any sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such termination and transferring all authority to service such Purchased Asset to the successor servicer, including requiring Servicer to (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating to the Purchased Assets to the successor servicer in such electronic format as the successor servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the successor servicer, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, the Purchased Asset File and all other files, records, correspondence and documents in its possession relating to the Purchased Assets and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with the successor servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any legal or regulatory requirement associated with the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Assets. Seller agrees that if Seller or any Servicer fails to cooperate with Buyer or any successor servicer in effecting the termination of such Servicer as servicer of any Purchased Asset or the transfer of all authority to service such Purchased Asset to such successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof and the Servicing Agreement, Buyer will be irreparably harmed and entitled to injunctive relief.

(d)Seller shall not employ any Servicer rated below “above average” by S&P, unless such Servicer is otherwise approved by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, to service the Purchased Assets (excluding the Servicing Rights).

(e)If Servicer is an Affiliate of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor, the payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement.

30.TAXES

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any other Program Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 30) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Without duplication of other amounts payable by Seller under this Section 30, 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 30) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 30, 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 Program 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 30(e)(ii)(A), Section 30(e)(ii)(B) and Section 30(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, in the event that Seller is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A)if Buyer is a U.S. Buyer, it shall deliver to Seller on or about the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), an executed copy 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 on or about 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 Program Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Program Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal

withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(III)in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; 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, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)if a payment made to Buyer under any Program 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 ▇▇▇▇▇’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)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 and absolute 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 30 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 30), 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 30 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 30(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 30(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 30(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 30(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g)Each party’s obligations under this Section 30 shall survive any assignment of rights by ▇▇▇▇▇, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Program Document.

31.U.S. TAX TREATMENT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program Documents, it is the intention of the parties that under current law, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, (i) the Transactions constitute a debt financing and (ii) Seller (or Seller’s regarded owner if Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will be treated as the beneficial owner of the Purchased Assets so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Seller (or Seller’s regarded owner if Seller is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and Buyer agree to treat and report the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on and in any and all filings with any U.S. federal or state income taxing authority and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment, unless, in each case, prohibited by applicable law or required pursuant to a final determination as set forth in Code Section 1313.

32.USA PATRIOT ACT

Buyer hereby notifies Seller that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, Buyer may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor that will allow Buyer to identify Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act. Seller agrees to provide Buyer, from time to time and upon the reasonable request of Buyer, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

33.SET OFF

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or when any amount is not paid when due and payable, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured,

at any time held or owing by or due from a Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. All such set-offs shall be subject to the priorities set forth in Section 5. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made; provided, that neither the inability (upon Seller’s intervening bankruptcy or insolvency) nor failure of Buyer to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.

34.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 of this Agreement and any other Program Document (and any interest and obligation in or under, and any property securing, this Agreement or any other Program Document) from Buyer will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime (and such provisions shall be applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and each other Program Document is in fact 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, any rights under this Agreement or any other Program Document that may be exercised against Buyer from and after a default by Buyer beyond all applicable notice and cure periods (“Default Rights”) are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime (and such provisions shall be applicable notwithstanding that this Agreement and each other Program Document is in fact governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States).

35.MISCELLANEOUS

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

(b)The Program Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

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

(d)Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the Program Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of outside accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Program Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay Buyer within ten (10) Business Days of demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees of outside counsel) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable

expenses of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Repo Collection Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

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

(f)Seller hereby covenants to file all UCC financing statements required by Buyer in order to perfect its security interest created hereby in such rights and obligations granted above, it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required to file such financing statements.

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

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

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

(j)▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller agree that neither party shall assert any claims against the other or against any of their respective Affiliates for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages under this Agreement, any Program Document or any Transaction, all such damages and claims being hereby irrevocably waived.

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

Know All Men by These Presents, that Parlex 18 ▇▇▇▇▇, LLC (“Seller”), does hereby appoint MUFG Bank, Ltd., New York Branch (“Buyer”) its attorney-in-fact upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the following sentence, during the occurrence and continuance of a monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, to act in Seller’s name, place and stead in any way that Seller could do with respect to the enforcement of Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract dated as of February 11, 2022 (as the same may have been and may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Repurchase Agreement”), between Buyer and Seller, and to take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights in such Purchased Assets, the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records to the extent that Seller is permitted by law to act through an agent. If a monetary Default or a material non-monetary Default has occurred and is continuing and Buyer has requested in writing that Seller take or cause to be taken any action that Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s or its designee’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Assets as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) of the Repurchase Agreement (which writing shall include a statement that Buyer will exercise its power of attorney if Seller fails to take or cause to be taken such action requested by Bu▇▇▇), and Seller has not complied with any such request promptly following receipt thereof, then Buyer (or its designee) may exercise its power of attorney during the existence and continuation of any such monetary Default or material non-monetary Default, as the case may be, as Buyer deems reasonably necessary to preserve Buyer’s or its designee’s ability to enforce upon the Purchased Assets as and when permitted pursuant to Section 14(b) of the Repurchase Agreement. This Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable except as expressly set forth below. The Power of Attorney shall terminate upon the payment and satisfaction in full of the Repurchase Obligations. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given in the Repurchase Agreement.

TO INDUCE ANY THIRD PARTY TO ACT HEREUNDER, SELLER HE▇▇▇▇ ▇GREES THAT ANY THIRD PARTY RECEIVING A DULY EXECUTED COPY OR FACSIMILE OF THIS INSTRUMENT MAY ACT HEREUNDER, AND THAT REVOCATION OR TERMINATION HEREOF SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE AS TO SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS AND UNTIL ACTUAL NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH REVOCATION OR TERMINATION SHALL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BY SUCH THIRD PARTY FROM BUYER, AND SELLER ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF SELLER’S ASSIGNS, HE▇▇▇▇ ▇GREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH THIRD PARTY HAVING RELIED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIMS ARISE AS A RESULT OF SUCH THIRD PARTY’S BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

EXHIBIT G

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSETS

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit G shall have the respective meanings given them in the Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract (the “Agreement”) to which this Exhibit G is attached.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

A. Whole Loans. With respect to each Whole Loan that is a Purchased Asset:

(1)Type of Purchased Asset; Ownership of Purchased Assets. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Purchased Asset was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations and any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than (a) any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement and (b) the rights of the holder of a related Junior Interest. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Asset except as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

(2)Whole Loans. Such Purchased Asset is a Whole Loan and not a Senior Interest or other partial interest in a Whole Loan.

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

Exhibit G-1

the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents.

(4)Mortgage Provisions. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain enforceable provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure.

(5)Hotel Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset that is secured by a hotel property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement or license agreement include an executed copy of such franchise agreement or license agreement as well as a comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property enforceable by Buyer or any subsequent holder of such Purchased Asset (including a securitization trustee) following Buyer or such holder acquiring record title to the Purchased Asset against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator, or pursuant to a replacement comfort letter or similar agreement with Buyer. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Asset secured by a hospitality property creates a valid and enforceable security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

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

(7)Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the related Underwriting/Due Diligence Package, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Asset or, in the case of a Purchased Asset secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, allocated loan amount (subject only to (i) Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) or (ii) any exceptions to Paragraph 8 below identified to Buyer in a Requested Exceptions Report (each such exception in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), “Title Exceptions”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), to Seller’s Knowledge, as of origination was, and as of the related Purchase Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy, and, subject to

Exhibit G-2

the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications subject to the limitations described in Paragraph (8) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

(8)Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Asset (or with respect to a Purchased Asset secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized with any other Purchased Asset (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Asset contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s Knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. The originating lender, Seller and its successors and assigns are the sole named insureds under the Title Policy. 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), (a) access to a public road, (b) that there are no encroachments of any part of the buildings thereon over easements, (c) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, (d) that the Mortgaged Property constitutes a single tax parcel containing no other real property, (e) the lien of the Mortgage is superior to a lien created by any applicable statute relating to environmental remediation, and (f) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of

Exhibit G-3

two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the related Purchased Asset to Seller, the Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided by such Title Policy) will inure to the benefit of Seller without the consent of or notice to the insurer of the Title Policy.

(9)Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased Asset are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Junior Interests and Purchased Assets that are cross-collateralized and/or cross defaulted with a Purchased Asset, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmens liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (7) above) and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth on the related Underwriting/Due Diligence Package, to Seller’s Knowledge there is no mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(10)Assignment of Leases. There exists as part of the related Purchased Asset File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases is in recordable form and creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. No Person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Asset, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

(11)UCC Filings. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent a security interest may be perfected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

(12)Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property no more than six (6)

Exhibit G-4

months prior to the origination of such Purchased Asset and no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, the related Mortgaged Property is free of any material damage, except to the extent that such material damage (i) would not have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the related Purchased Asset, (ii) is fully covered by insurance or (iii) has not yet been repaired but escrows of funds have been established in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of the necessary repairs. Seller has no Knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or property condition assessment and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

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

(14)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental agency or body of any proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

(15)Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mo▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s title to the Mortgaged Property or the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (b) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under or perform under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (c) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (d) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents or (e) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

(16)Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents are in the possession,

Exhibit G-5

or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and the right to all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Asset Documents as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with Seller’s practices with respect to escrow releases or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Asset Documents.

(17)No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Purchased Asset stated on the related Transaction Request has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for Future Fundings thereunder (except in the case of any Future Funding Eligible Asset and in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Asset has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback). Any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been or are being satisfied with respect to any disbursements of any such escrow fund made on or prior to the date hereof.

(18)Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” from S&P (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the “Required Insurance Amount” which is defined as the lesser of (x) the original principal balance of the Purchased Asset and (y) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to customary deductibles) covers a period of not less than twelve (12) months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset with a maximum principal balance of $50 million or more, eighteen (18) months).

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

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, such

Exhibit G-6

Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount not less than such amount required by law.

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 coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

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

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the related Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Buyer. Each related Purchased Asset obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least thirty (30) days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than ten (10) days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(19)Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon Seller’s review of the related Title Policy and current surveys obtained in connection with origination, each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or

Exhibit G-7

well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

(20)No Encroachments. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and violations of building restriction lines that are covered by law and ordinance coverage in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders. No material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that do not violate the terms of the easement or the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy.

(21)No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by Seller.

(22)REMIC. In respect of each Purchased Asset, to the extent such Purchased Asset is identified as being REMIC eligible, the Purchased Asset is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly either: (a) such Purchased Asset is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date such Purchased Asset was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of such Purchased Asset on such date or (ii) at the related Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of such Purchased Asset on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to such Purchased Asset and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with such Purchased Asset; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Asset (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If any Purchased Asset was “significantly modified” prior to the related Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Asset or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date such Purchased Asset was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Exhibit G-8

(23)Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate of such Purchased Asset (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) complied in all material respects as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

(24)Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date and as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, except where the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by any holder thereof.

(25)Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee, 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 Purchased Asset, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

(26)Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon any of a letter from any Governmental Authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, rules or covenants, building codes or restrictions and land laws (collectively, “Zoning Regulations”) as of the date of origination of such Purchased Asset and as of the Purchase Date, other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which, in the event of casualty or destruction, the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by Seller for similar mortgage loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property, or (v) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(27)Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and, to Seller’s Knowledge based upon any of a letter from any Government Authorities, a zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, all such

Exhibit G-9

material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the Purchase Date or the rights of a holder of the Purchased Asset. 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 and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

(28)Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset (a) becomes full recourse to the related Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively as of the date of origination have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) upon any of the following events (or events of substantially similar effect): (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 and/or guarantor shall have colluded with (or alternatively solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively as of the date of origination have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses, liabilities, costs and damages sustained by reason of (or of provisions of substantially similar effect) Mortgagor’s and/or its principals’ (i) misappropriation of rents after the occurrence of an event of default under the Purchased Asset, (ii) misappropriation of security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (iii) fraud, willful misconduct or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of intentional material physical waste at the related Mortgaged Property.

(29)Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Asset and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (a) or (c), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Purchased Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Asset to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (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

Exhibit G-10

specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Asset outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the provisions governing a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any Purchased Asset that is identified as REMIC eligible, with respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (d), the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Purchased Asset in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds are not 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 Purchased Asset.

With respect to any Purchased Asset that is identified as REMIC eligible, no such Purchased Asset that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Purchased Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

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

(31)Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset with a maximum principal balance over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Asset, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) as of origination, did not and to Seller’s Knowledge as of the Purchase Date, does not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially

Exhibit G-11

available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism, flood, windstorm 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 Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

(32)Due-on-Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to certain exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the Mortgagee or holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling equity interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents (such as a qualified equityholder), (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph 29 (“Mortgage Releases”) herein or (vii) any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any companion loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan or (iv) any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

(33)Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Asset with a maximum principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a maximum principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this paragraph (33), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Asset has a maximum principal balance equal to $5 million or less as of the related Purchase Date, its organizational documents

Exhibit G-12

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 Purchased Asset 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 significant 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 Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity and, with respect to each Purchased Asset with a maximum principal balance of $50 million or more, that it (or its general partner) has at least one independent director.

(34)Interest Rates. Each Purchased Asset bears interest at a floating rate of interest plus a margin (which interest rate may be subject to a minimum or “floor” rate).

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

(a)The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recording in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease has occurred since its recordation, except by a written instrument which has been included in the Purchased Asset File.

(b)The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, cancelled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns, provided that lender has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease and no such consent has been granted since the origination of the Purchased Asset, except as reflected in any written instruments included in the related Purchased Asset File.

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

Exhibit G-13

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

(e)The Ground Lease does not place, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder provided that proper notice is delivered to the extent required in accordance with the Ground Lease (or if such consent is necessary it has been obtained), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of (but with proper notice to) the lessor.

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

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

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

(i)The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

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

(k)In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related

Exhibit G-14

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 Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest.

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

(36)Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, any prior holder with respect to the Purchased Asset complied in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations and have been, in all material respects, legal and have met Accepted Servicing Practices.

(37)Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to each Purchased Asset have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Asset and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Asset; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit G. At the time of origination of such Purchased Asset, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf of Seller in connection with each Purchased Asset complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence and underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and multifamily loans.

(38)Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. Seller has obtained a rent roll (the “Certified Rent Roll(s)”) other than with respect to hospitality or single tenant properties certified by the Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. Seller has obtained operating histories (the “Certified Operating Histories”) with respect to each Mortgaged Property certified by the Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset. The Certified Operating Histories collectively report on operations for a period equal to (a) at least a continuous 3-year period or (b) in the event the Mortgaged Property was owned, operated or constructed by the borrower or an affiliate for less than 3 years then for such shorter period of time, it being understood that for Mortgaged Properties acquired with the proceeds of a Purchased Asset, Certified Operating Histories may not have been available.

(39)No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than thirty (30) days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of its Purchase Date, no Purchased Asset is more than thirty (30) days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,

Exhibit G-15

which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any Requested Exceptions Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

(40)Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of such Purchased Asset and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, neither the Mortgaged Property, nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in a state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(41)Organization of Mortgagor. Seller has as of the date of the origination of the Purchased Asset, obtained an organizational chart or other description of the Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e. managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for the Mortgagor) (the “Controlling Owner”). Seller (1) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies or any felony convictions in accordance with the standards utilized by Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans, and (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis or NCO, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies or any felony convictions, in accordance with the standards utilized by Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans. ((1) and (2) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence dated as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset , to the Knowledge of Seller, no Controlling Owner or guarantor (i) was in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony. With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the related Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Purchased Asset.

(42)Environmental Conditions. At origination of such Purchased Asset, 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 Mortgaged Property, except as disclosed by a Phase I environmental assessment (or a Phase II environmental assessment, if applicable) delivered in connection with the origination of the Purchased Asset or 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.

Exhibit G-16

A Phase I environmental site assessment and, with respect to certain Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (or an update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date, and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

(43)Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from Seller’s underwriting). With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Purchased Asset (or such longer period as Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar commercial and multifamily loans), and to Seller’s Knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel as of the date of such estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area maintenance (CAM) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

(44)Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Purchased Asset origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is

Exhibit G-17

signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute and who, to Seller’s Knowledge, 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 Purchased Asset. Each appraiser has represented in such Appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. Each Appraisal contains a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the Appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Purchased Asset was originated.

(45)Transaction Request. To Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, the information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set forth in the related Transaction Request delivered to Buyer is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and contains all information required by the Agreement to be contained therein.

(46)Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan, except as set forth in the Requested Exception Report.

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

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

(49)Affiliates. The related Mortgagor is not an Affiliate of Seller.

(50)OFAC. (a) No Purchased Asset is (i) subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or the regulations promulgated by OFAC (the “OFAC Regulations”) or (ii) in violation of Executive Order 13224 or the OFAC Regulations, and (b) no Mortgagor is (i) subject to the provisions of Executive Order 13224 or the OFAC Regulations or (ii) listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC Regulations.

B. Senior Interests.

(I)With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Senior Interest (other than a senior or pari passu participation interest in a Whole Loan):

Exhibit G-18

(1) Whole Loan. The related Whole Loan complies with all of the representations set forth in Exhibit G(A) to the Agreement (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report and/or approved by Buyer in writing).

(II)With respect to each Purchased Asset that is a Senior Interest in the form of a senior or pari passu participation interest in a Whole Loan (a “Participation Interest”):

(1)Whole Loan. The related Whole Loan complies with all of the representations set forth in Exhibit G(A) to the Agreement (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report and/or approved by Buyer in writing).

(2)Participation. Such Participation Interest is evidenced by a physical participation certificate.

(3)Lead Participant; Status of Participation Agreement. Such Participation Interest is a senior or pari passu participation interest (in each case, with no existing more senior participation interest) in a Whole Loan. Seller is the record mortgagee of the related Whole Loan (“Lead Participant”) pursuant to a participation agreement (a “Participation Agreement”) that is legal, valid and enforceable as between its parties. If such Participation Interest is (i) a pari passu participation interest or (ii) a senior participation interest with respect to which no related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Whole Loan, the related participation agreement provides that the Lead Participant has full power, authority and discretion to service the related Whole Loan, modify and amend the terms thereof and pursue remedies and enforcement actions, including foreclosure or other legal action, without consent or approval of any participant (each, a “Third Party Participant”) holding any related participation (the “Other Participation Interests”). If such Participation Interest is a senior participation interest with respect to which the related junior participation interest accounts for more than ten (10) percent of the maximum principal balance of the related Whole Loan, the control rights granted to the holder of such junior participation pursuant to the related participation agreement are customary for holders of junior participations in commercial mortgage loans.

(4)Costs and Expenses. If the Participation Interest is pari passu with any Other Participation Interests, the holder of such Other Participation Interest is required to pay its pro rata share of any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Whole Loan upon request therefor by the Lead Participant. If the Participation Interest is senior to any Other Participation Interests, the holder of such Other Participation Interest is required to bear any expenses, costs and fees associated with servicing and enforcing rights and remedies under the related Whole Loan prior to the holder of such Participation Interest.

(5)Third Party Participants. Each Participation Agreement is effective to convey the related Other Participation Interests to the related Third Party Participants and is not intended to be or effective as a loan or other financing secured by the related Mortgaged Property. The Lead Participant owes no fiduciary duty or obligation to any Third Party Participant pursuant to the Participation Agreement.

(6)Purchased Asset File. The terms of the documents in the Purchased Asset File with respect to such Participation Interest have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any material respect except as set forth in the documents contained in the Purchased Asset File.

Exhibit G-19

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

(8)Bankruptcy. To Seller’s Knowledge, if Seller or an Affiliate was not the originator, no issuer of such Participation Interest or Third Party Participant is a debtor in any outstanding state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

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

(10)Transfer. The Lead Participant’s role, rights and responsibilities are assignable by Seller without consent or approval other than those that have been obtained.

(11)No Repurchase. The terms of the Participation Agreement do not require or obligate the Lead Participant or its successor or assigns to repurchase any Other Participation Interest under any circumstances.

(12)No Misrepresentations. To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller, in selling any Other Participation Interest to a Third Party Participant made no misrepresentation, fraud or omission of information which was in Seller’s possession and required to be delivered to such Third Party Participant.

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

(1)Type of Mezzanine Loan. The Mezzanine Loan is a senior mezzanine whole loan secured by a first priority pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the Capital Stock of the Mortgagor of the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest that is a Purchased Asset. At the time of the pledge and grant of the security interest in the Mezzanine Loan to Buyer, the Mezzanine Loan was not subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, such Mezzanine Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations and any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mezzanine Loan. Seller has full right and authority to pledge and grant a security interest in and to each Mezzanine Loan, and such pledge and grant of a security interest to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding pledge of such Mezzanine Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such

Exhibit G-20

Mezzanine Loan but subject to the rights of the holder of the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest that is a Purchased Asset pursuant to an intercreditor agreement.

(2)Purchased Asset. The related Whole Loan or Senior Interest that is a Purchased Asset complies with all of the representations set forth in Section A (except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report and/or approved by Buyer in writing).

(3)Mezzanine Loan Document Status. Each related Mezzanine Note and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mezzanine Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mezzanine Borrower, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one-action or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Standard Qualifications.

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

(4)Mezzanine Note Provisions. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mezzanine Loan Documents for each Mezzanine Loan contain enforceable provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Capital Stock of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure.

(5)Waivers and Modifications; Lien. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or as otherwise provided in the related Mezzanine Loan Documents, (a) the material terms of the related pledge agreement, Mezzanine Note, guaranty, and related Mezzanine Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on the Mezzanine Loan; (b) no related Capital Stock or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related pledge or other security agreement in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such agreement; and (c) neither the Mezzanine Borrower nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the related Mezzanine Loan Documents. Any security agreement, pledge agreement or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications.

Seller’s security interest in the Capital Stock of the Mortgagor is covered by a UCC 9 insurance policy and (i) such policy is in full force and effect, (ii) all premiums thereunder have been paid, (iii) no claims have been made by or on behalf of Seller thereunder, and (iv) no claims have been paid thereunder. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ obtained a mezzanine endorsement to the Mortgagor’s “owner’s” title policy and an assignment of title proceeds in connection therewith.

Exhibit G-21

(7)Junior Liens. Except as set forth in the related Transaction Request, there are no subordinate junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related pledged Capital Stock. Except as set forth in the related Transaction Request, to Seller’s Knowledge, there is no subordinate mezzanine debt secured directly or indirectly by interests in the related Mezzanine Borrower.

(8)Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mezzanine Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property (indirectly securing the Mezzanine Loan and securing the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest that is a Purchased Asset) no more than six (6) months prior to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan and no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of such Mezzanine Loan (or related Whole Loan or Senior Interest, as applicable) no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mezzanine loans, and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, the related Mortgaged Property is free of any material damage, except to the extent that such material damage (i) would not have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest, (ii) is fully covered by insurance or (iii) has not yet been repaired but escrows of funds have been established in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of the necessary repairs. Seller has no Knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report or property condition assessment and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

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

(10)Condemnation. As of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental agency or body of any proceeding pending and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property (indirectly securing the Mezzanine Loan and securing the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest) that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of such Mortgaged Property.

Exhibit G-22

(11)Actions Concerning Mezzanine Loan.

(e)Such Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the related Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder provided that proper notice is delivered to the extent required in accordance with the Ground Lease (or if such consent is necessary, it has been obtained), and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of (but with proper notice to) the lessor.

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

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

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

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

An ESA meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with the origination of such Mezzanine Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date, and such ESA (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property (indirectly securing the Mezzanine Loan and securing the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, 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 Mezzanine Borrower (or by the related Mortgagor under the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest) 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 and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting such related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor and Mezzanine Borrower was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor and Mezzanine Borrower having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at any related Mortgaged Property.

(35)Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Mezzanine Loan secured indirectly by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related borrower to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll (except for tenants for whom the related lease income was excluded from Seller’s underwriting). With respect to each Mezzanine Loan predominantly secured indirectly by a retail, office

Exhibit G-33

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 Mezzanine Loan (or such longer period as Seller may deem reasonable and appropriate based on Seller’s practices in connection with the origination of similar mezzanine loans), and to Seller’s Knowledge, based solely on the related estoppel as of the date of such estoppel, (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area maintenance (CAM) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

(36)Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property (indirectly securing the Mezzanine Loan and securing the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest) with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Mezzanine 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 who, to Seller’s Knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the related Mortgaged Property or the Capital Stock or the related Mortgagor or Mezzanine Borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mezzanine Loan. Each Appraiser has represented in such Appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

(37)Transaction Request. To Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, the information pertaining to each Mezzanine Loan which is set forth in the related Transaction Request delivered to Buyer is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date and contains all information required by the Agreement to be contained therein.

(38)Cross-Collateralization. No Mezzanine Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other loan (other than the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest), except as set forth in the Requested Exception Report.

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

(40)Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the Patriot Act with respect to the origination of such Mezzanine Loan (or related Whole Loan or Senior Interest that is a Purchased Asset).

(41)Affiliates. The related Mezzanine Borrower is not an Affiliate of Seller.

Exhibit G-34

(42)Mezzanine Loan Provisions. 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 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 to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

(43)Article 8 Opt-In. The limited liability company certificate of the issuer of the Capital Stock securing the Mezzanine Loan constitutes a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, and no amendment of the issuer’s operating agreement that amends the opt-in may be effected without the consent of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan.
