The transfer, assignment and delivery of the Commercial Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall vest in Buyer all of the Bank’s rights as owner of such Commercial Loans free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, or security interests of any nature, including, but not limited to, those of Seller, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. The sale, transfer and assignment of the Commercial Loans and the Loan Documents are free and clear of any participation interest.

(b) Authority to Transfer Commercial Loans. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Commercial Loans.

(c) Title Insurance. The lien of the related Mortgage for all Mortgages in excess of $50,000 in principal amount is insured by a mortgagee title insurance policy, or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the originator of such Commercial Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien or subordinated lien, as applicable, of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Commercial Loan, subject only to Permitted Liens. The Master Asset Transfer Schedule sets forth and accurately reflects the lien priority as to each title insurance policy with respect to each related Mortgage. Each title insurance policy for Mortgages in excess of $50,000 in principal amount is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no material claims have been made thereunder, no claims have been paid thereunder, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no prior holder of the related Commercial Loan, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such mortgage title insurance policy.

(d) Enforceability. Each Commercial Loan is evidenced by a Note and is duly secured by a valid lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in each case, on forms and pursuant to terms that are in compliance with all material requirements of Applicable Laws at the time of origination. Each related Note and each related Mortgage is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by Laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). To Seller’s Knowledge, no Commercial Loan is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, that would render the Note or Mortgage unenforceable.

(e) Disbursement. All draws required to be funded have been funded in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage, Note and related loan agreement, if any. The full original principal amount of each Commercial Loan has been fully disbursed or credited to the Borrower under the related Note and there is no requirement for any lender to make future advances thereunder. To Seller’s Knowledge, all material costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing or recording the related Mortgage were paid. Except for refunds or amounts paid in accordance with Acceptable Servicing Practices, no Borrower is entitled to any refund or any amounts paid or due to any lender pursuant to any related Note or related Mortgage.

(f) Priority of Lien. Each Mortgage has been duly acknowledged and recorded, and is a valid, enforceable and subsisting, perfected first lien on the Mortgaged Property therein described except as set forth on the Master Asset Transfer Schedule, and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of the Mortgage instrument except for Permitted Liens.

(g) Taxes and Assessments. There are no unpaid property Taxes affecting any Mortgaged Property, which are or may become a lien of priority equal or senior to the lien of the related Mortgage except for amounts to be paid by Seller at, or prior to, the Closing.

Other than Commercial Loans below $500,000 in principal amount for which Seller does not monitor insurance coverage, all buildings and improvements upon the related Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurance carrier against loss by a fire and extended perils policy providing coverage against loss or damage included within the “all risk of physical loss” or the equivalent thereof and such other hazards as are customarily insured against in the area where each Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Commercial Loan. The Loan Documents require the Borrower to maintain (or to cause the applicable tenant to maintain) the insurance referred to in this paragraph in respect of the Mortgaged Property. If any portion of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having “special flood hazards,” a flood insurance policy meeting any requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal amount of such Commercial Loan, (2) the full insurable actual cash value of such Mortgaged Property, (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, and (4) 100% of the replacement cost or value of the improvements located on such Mortgaged Property. The Loan Documents require the Borrower to maintain (or to cause the applicable tenant to maintain) the insurance referred to in this paragraph in respect of the Mortgaged Property.

All payments received by Seller with respect to any Commercial Loan have been remitted and properly accounted for as required by all Applicable Laws in all material respects. All funds received by Seller in connection with the satisfaction of Commercial Loans, including, but not limited to, foreclosure proceeds, condemnation proceeds and insurance proceeds from hazard losses, have been deposited in the appropriate principal and interest account or taxes and insurance account, and other than in the ordinary course consistent with the past servicing practice of Seller, all such funds have been applied to reduce the principal balance of the Commercial Loans in question, or for reimbursement of repairs to the Mortgaged Property in question, or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws. The unpaid principal balances of the Commercial Loans are not less than the amount set forth on the Master Asset Transfer Schedule.

(p) Customary Remedies. The related Mortgage or Note, together with Applicable Law, contains customary and enforceable provisions (subject to the exceptions set forth in ‎Section 3.6(d) above) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holders thereof adequate for the practical realization against the related Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby.

(q) Deed of Trust. If the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, to Seller’s Knowledge, a trustee, duly qualified under Applicable Law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such Mortgage.

(r) Lien Releases. Except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents, the related Note or Mortgage does not require the holder thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, except upon payment in full of all amounts due under such Commercial Loan which have been allocated to such Mortgaged Property upon the payment of specified release consideration.

(v) No Cross-Collateralization or Cross-Default. None of the Commercial Loans are secured by the same property as any other loan held by Seller or its Affiliates which is not being transferred pursuant to this Agreement, and none of the Commercial Loans are cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with any loan or other obligation that is not being transferred to Buyer as part of the Purchased Assets.

(w) Deposit Account Collateral. To the extent that any of the Collateral for any of the Commercial Loans is deposit accounts or cash collateral accounts or similar (the “Account Collateral”), Seller has a perfected security interest in the Account Collateral pursuant to Section 9-314 of the UCC by control of such Account Collateral pursuant to an authenticated agreement among the applicable Borrower, Seller and the bank with which the Account Collateral is maintained in accordance with the requirements of Section 9-104 of the UCC, and such security interest will remain perfected in favor of Buyer from and after the transfer of the applicable Commercial Loan to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller Documents.

Section 6.2 Indemnification.

Subject to ‎Section 6.1, ‎Section 6.4, ‎Section 6.5 and ‎Section 7.6,

(a) Indemnification by Seller.

(i) Subject to Section 6.2(d) below, Seller shall not be liable for Losses under ‎Section 6.2‎(a)(i), and Buyer shall not be liable for Losses under Section 6.2(b)(i) unless the amount of Losses under the applicable section, in the aggregate, exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000.00); provided, however, that if the Losses under any applicable section exceed $5,000.00, then Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall be liable for the first dollar of such Losses (i.e., the $5,000.00 threshold is intended to be a floor, not a deductible); and

Section 6.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Person required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party receives written notice of any claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this ‎Section 6.3(a) shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under ‎ARTICLE 6, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of any such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party makes a claim on account of a Loss which may be covered by third party indemnification or insurance, the Indemnified Party shall undertake diligent and good faith efforts to pursue recovery available under such third party indemnification or insurance policy and shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of such efforts, but shall not be required to make any claim or exhaust any remedies under any third party indemnification or insurance policy as a condition to making a claim under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; and, if the Indemnifying Party agrees (without conceding responsibility for indemnification hereunder) that the subject matter of such claim is within the scope of the indemnification provisions under the terms of this Agreement (an “Indemnification Claim”), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim, it shall within thirty (30) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnified Party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (A) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (B) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this ‎Section 6.3 to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the third party claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all Liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim and such other party is not required to make any payment in connection with such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, then the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate Liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus, without duplication, the aggregate reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer and (B) the Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Indemnification Claim. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(c) After any decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction, or a settlement shall have been consummated (in accordance with this ‎ARTICLE 6, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

(d) Each party shall reasonably cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates reasonably to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Indemnification Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith, it being understood that the party requesting such cooperation shall promptly reimburse the other party for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the cooperating party (including reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to and from and attending conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals).

Section 6.4 Certain Limitations on Indemnification.

Each of the parties hereto agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses arising from any breach of this Agreement, but the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall not require an Indemnified Party to exhaust any remedies against a third party Indemnitor or insurance prior to making a claim under this Agreement against an Indemnifying Party. If any party receives an insurance payment or a recovery from a third party in respect of its Loss after payment has been made under any indemnification provision of this Agreement in respect of that Loss, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance payment or third party recovery received by the Indemnified Party (less the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs incurred to secure such insurance payment or third party recovery) within five (5) business days after such insurance payment or third party recovery is received; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be required to pay over to Seller any tax benefit by virtue of the foregoing provision.

Section 6.5 Exclusivity; Equitable Remedies.

Buyer and Seller agree that the rights of the parties hereto to indemnification under this ‎ARTICLE 6 shall be the exclusive rights and remedies of the parties hereto for the recovery of any Losses for which a party may be entitled to recover under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing in this Agreement will preclude or prevent any party hereto from seeking and obtaining equitable remedies or relief not involving the recovery of money damages from any court of competent jurisdiction (such as the remedies of injunctive relief or specific performance) for any breach or violation of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with such transactions.

Section 7.6 Limitation on Liability.

Except as set forth in Section 6.2(e), in no event shall any party have any liability to the other for any special or punitive damages, lost profits, diminution in value not related to collateral underlying the Commercial Loans, or consequential damages (provided that the foregoing will not apply to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify hereunder for damages required to be paid to a third party).

Section 7.7 Severability.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 7.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Buyer or Seller, directly or indirectly (by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice to Seller (but without any requirement for Seller consent), Buyer shall have the right to (a) assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Qualified Assignee, or (b) collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement to a lender in connection with a loan or loans secured in whole or in part by the Commercial Loans.

Section 7.9 Specific Performance; Remedies.

The parties hereto expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage may result in the event that any provision of Agreement is breached. Therefore, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to the non-breaching party, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek to enforce its rights under this Agreement in any court of equity by decree of specific performance, and appropriate injunctive relief may be sought in connection therewith. Such remedy of specific performance and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement shall, except as provided in ‎Section 6.5, be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever that a non-breaching party may otherwise have.

Section 7.10 Non-Recourse.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any Liability for any obligations or liabilities of Seller or Buyer (as applicable) under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 7.11 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Such counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

Section 7.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.

The parties hereto each hereby waive trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matters (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.13 Further Assurances.

At any time, and from time to time hereafter, upon the reasonable request of Buyer, Seller will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, recordings and assurances as may be reasonably required in order to assign, transfer, grant, convey, assure and confirm to Buyer, or to permit Buyer to collect and reduce to possession, any or all of the Commercial Loans sold hereunder and to effectuate and evidence the assignment of judgments related thereto. All instruments relating to the purchase and sale of the Commercial Loans pursuant to this Agreement, and all proceedings taken in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be in form and substance mutually satisfactory to Buyer and Seller.

Section 7.14 Disclosure Schedule.

Seller has set forth information on the Disclosure Schedule in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of the Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section so long as its relevance to such other section of the Disclosure Schedule or section of the Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed therein to the Person to which such disclosure is being made. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) the Disclosure Schedule may include certain items and information solely for informational purposes for the convenience of Buyer and (b) the disclosure by Seller of any matter in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by Seller that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement or that the matter is material.

Section 7.15 [*****]Relationship – Loan #[*****].

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller hereby acknowledges that Seller may not have a perfected security interest in the Account Collateral for Loan #[*****] (the “[*****] Loan”) described in that certain Pledged Collateral Account Agreement entered into by and among the [*****], the Seller and [*****], and that any such failure of Seller to have a perfected security interest in such Account Collateral will be a breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.6(w) of this Agreement. Seller hereby further acknowledges and agrees that any Losses suffered by the Buyer as a result of such breach of the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.6(w) will not be subject to any of the limitations contained in Section 6.2(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement, and any Losses related to the foregoing shall not apply towards (or count against) any cap on maximum liability contained in Section 6.2(c)(ii).

Section 7.16 [*****] B Note.

The Seller and the Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that if the sale and/or assignment of the [*****] B Note to the [*****] Obligors does not occur pursuant to the [*****] B Note Assignment on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, then (a) the Seller shall retain the [*****] B Note and shall not sell or assign the [*****] B Note to any Person without the prior written consent of the Buyer in its sole discretion, and (b) the Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, reconvey the lien of any deed of trust or other security agreement securing the [*****] B Note and enter into a subordination and intercreditor agreement with the Buyer with respect to the [*****] B Note in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer in its sole discretion, but in any event incorporating the various subordination, waiver and assignment of rights in bankruptcy provisions that are currently set forth in the [*****] B Note Assignment. In addition, if as a result of an injunction from a court or for any other reason the Seller is unable to assign the [*****] B Note (as defined in the [*****] B Note Assignment) to the Buyer on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then: (i) if within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date Seller is no longer constrained from selling the [*****] Note, Buyer shall be obligated to purchase the [*****] B Note from Seller for an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price attributable to [*****] on the Master Asset Transfer Schedule or (ii) if the constraints on selling the [*****] A Note are not removed prior to ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the [*****] A Note from Seller, provided that Buyer provides Seller with written notice of its intent to purchase the [*****] A Note within thirty (30) days of receipt by Buyer of notice from Seller that it intends to sell the [*****] A Note. The Seller shall be obligated to work in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any issues with the sale of the [*****] A Note as soon as possible so that the [*****] A Note can be sold and transferred to the Buyer. In any event, the allocated portion of the Purchase Price for the [*****] Note shall not be due or payable by Buyer unless and until the [*****] A Note is transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
