(c) Upon Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Preliminary Approval with respect to a Transaction, Seller shall, if Seller desires to enter into such Transaction with respect to the related New Asset upon the terms set forth by Buyer in its Preliminary Approval, deliver the documents set forth below in this Section 3(c) with respect to each New Asset and related Eligible Property or Properties (to the extent not already delivered in the Preliminary Due Diligence Package or in the Supplemental Due Diligence Package) as a condition precedent to Buyer’s Final Approval and issuance of a Confirmation, all in a manner and/or form satisfactory to Buyer in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion and pursuant to documentation satisfactory to Buyer in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion:

each in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, by an engineer and an environmental consultant, approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

(iii) Appraisal. If obtained by Seller, an Appraisal or a Draft Appraisal of the related Eligible Property or Properties dated less than six (6) months prior to the proposed Purchase Date. If Buyer receives only a Draft Appraisal prior to entering into a Transaction, Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver an Appraisal on or before thirty (30) days after the Purchase Date.

(iv) Insurance. Certificates or other evidence of insurance detailing insurance coverage in respect of the related Eligible Property or Properties of types (including but not limited to casualty, general liability and terrorism insurance coverage), in amounts, with insurers and otherwise in compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Purchased Asset Documents and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Such certificates or other evidence shall indicate that Seller (or as to a New Asset that is a Participation Interest, the lead lender on the related whole loan in which Seller is a participant) will be named as an additional insured as its interest may appear and shall contain a loss payee endorsement in favor of such additional insured with respect to the policies required to be maintained under the Purchased Asset Documents.

(v) Opinions of Counsel. Copies of all legal opinions with respect to the New Asset (which shall include a non-consolidation opinion, if applicable) that shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer; provided that Seller may deliver drafts of such opinions if such New Asset is being originated concurrently with the transfer to Buyer and shall deliver final, executed copies of such legal opinions on the Purchase Date of such New Asset.

(vi) Title Policy. (A) An unconditional commitment from the title company to issue a Title Policy or Policies in favor of Seller and Seller’s successors and/or assigns with respect to each Mortgage securing such New Asset with an amount of insurance that shall be not less than the principal balance of such New Asset, or (B) an endorsement or confirmatory letter from the existing title company to an existing Title Policy (in an amount not less than the principal balance of such New Asset) in favor of Seller and Seller’s successors and/or assigns that adds such parties as an additional insured.

(vii) Additional Real Estate Matters. To the extent obtained by Seller, such other real estate related certificates and documentation as may have been reasonably requested by Buyer, such as: (A) certificates of occupancy issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority and either letters certifying that the related Eligible Property or Properties are in material compliance with all applicable zoning laws issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority, a zoning report in form and prepared by a zoning consultant reasonably satisfactory to Buyer or evidence that the related Title Policy includes a zoning endorsement; and (B) abstracts of all material leases in effect at the Mortgaged Property delivered in connection with the New Asset.

(viii) Exception Report. A written report of any exceptions to the representations and warranties in Exhibit III attached hereto (an “Exception Report”).

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

the New Asset or (B) notify Seller that Buyer agrees to purchase the New Asset, subject to satisfaction (or waiver by Buyer) of the Transaction Conditions Precedent (a “Final Approval”) set forth in Section 3(e) below. Buyer’s failure to respond to Seller within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed to be a denial of Seller’s request that Buyer purchase the New Asset, unless Buyer and Seller have agreed otherwise in writing.

(d) Subject to satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions Precedent, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written confirmation of its Final Approval in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto with respect to a proposed Transaction (a “Confirmation”); provided that, unless otherwise agreed by Seller, Buyer shall deliver a separate Confirmation with respect to each New Asset that will be the subject of a Transaction. Each Confirmation shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein at length.

(e) Provided that each of the Transaction Conditions Precedent set forth in this Section 3(e) have been satisfied (or waived by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion), and subject to Seller’s rights under Section 3(f) hereof, Buyer shall transfer the Purchase Price to Seller with respect to each New Asset for which it has issued a Confirmation on the Purchase Date specified in such Confirmation (which Purchase Date shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date the Final Approval is delivered), and the related New Asset shall be concurrently transferred by Seller to Buyer or its nominee. For purposes of this Section 3(e), the conditions precedent to any proposed Transaction (the “Transaction Conditions Precedent”) shall be satisfied with respect to such proposed Transaction if:

(v) (A) Buyer shall have determined, in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement that the New Asset proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in such Transaction is an Eligible Asset, (B) Buyer shall have obtained internal credit approval for the inclusion of such New Asset as a Purchased Asset in a Transaction, (C) Buyer shall have confirmed that, after giving effect to such Purchased Asset, the Concentration Limit shall be satisfied and (D) Buyer shall have determined, in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion, that the Maximum Asset Exposure Threshold and Portfolio Exposure Threshold will not be exceeded immediately after giving effect to the requested Transaction;

(vi) (A) if the New Asset is not a Table Funded Purchased Asset, the applicable Purchased Asset File described in Section 7(b) of this Agreement shall have been delivered to Custodian, and Buyer shall have received a Trust Receipt with respect to such Purchased Asset File, and (B) if the

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

Purchased Asset is a Table Funded Purchased Asset, the documents required by Section 7(b) shall have been delivered to Bailee;

(vii) Seller shall have delivered to each Mortgagor or obligor or related servicer or lead lender under any Purchased Asset a direction letter in accordance with Section 5(a) of this Agreement unless such Mortgagor or obligor or related servicer or lead lender is already remitting payments to Servicer whereupon Seller shall direct Servicer to remit all such amounts into the Controlled Account in accordance with Section 5(a) of this Agreement and to service such payments in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(viii) Seller shall have paid to Buyer (A) any fees then due and payable under the Fee Letter and (B) any unpaid Transaction Costs in respect of such Purchased Asset due and owing by Seller (which amounts, at Seller’s option, may be held back from funds remitted to Seller by Buyer on the Purchase Date);

(ix) such Purchased Asset shall not be a Defaulted Asset;

(x) Buyer shall have received true and complete copies of fully executed originals of all Transfer Documents;

(f) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby (absent manifest error or mutual mistake) unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business Days after the date such Confirmation is received by Seller. An objection sent by Seller with respect to any Confirmation must state specifically that the writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such Confirmation being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes such provisions should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than two (2) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by Seller. Buyer may, in Buyer’s sole discretion issue another Confirmation addressing Seller’s objections or may elect not to proceed with the proposed Transaction.

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

(g) With respect to any Transaction involving an Eligible Asset that is a Future Advance Asset, Seller shall indicate in the related Preliminary Due Diligence Package that such Eligible Asset is a Future Advance Asset and shall provide Buyer with the information required to complete the Confirmation regarding such Future Advance Asset, as well as, the then remaining unfunded principal amount of all Purchased Assets that constitute Future Advance Assets. Subject to Section 4, at any time prior to the Repurchase Date, in the event a future advance is made or is to be made by Seller pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents for a Future Advance Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a request that Buyer transfer cash to Seller in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Purchase Percentage, multiplied by the amount of such future advance (a “Future Advance Purchase”), which Future Advance Purchase shall increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Future Advance Asset. Subject to satisfaction (or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waiver) of the following conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to make any Future Advance Purchase, Buyer shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Section 3(g) (and in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller in such request) on the date requested by Seller, which date shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which Buyer has reasonably determined that such conditions precedent have been satisfied (or, in Buyer’s sole discretion, waived):

(i) as of the funding of such Future Advance Purchase, no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Future Advance Purchase;

(ii) the funding of the Future Advance Purchase would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Facility Amount;

(iii) the Future Advance Purchase would not cause the Purchase Price of the applicable Future Advance Asset to exceed the Concentration Limit;

(iv) Buyer shall have determined, in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion, that the Maximum Asset Exposure Threshold and Portfolio Exposure Threshold will not be exceeded immediately after giving effect to the funding of the Future Advance Purchase;

(v) Seller shall have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that all conditions to the future advance under the Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied; and

(vi) previously or simultaneously with Buyer’s funding of the Future Advance Purchase, Seller shall have funded or caused to be funded to the Mortgagor (or to an escrow agent or as otherwise directed by the Mortgagor) its pro rata portion of such Future Advance Purchase in respect of such Future Advance Asset.

(h) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand, and repurchase the related Purchased Asset on any Business Day prior to the applicable Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that:

(i) no Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall be continuing (unless such repurchase cures such Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit) or would occur or result from such early repurchase;

(ii) Seller notifies Buyer in writing, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Early Repurchase Date, of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase the related Purchased Asset (or such shorter period of time as Buyer may agree to); provided that Seller shall

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

have the right to revoke such notice at any time up to the Business Day prior to such Early Repurchase Date; and

(iii) Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Early Repurchase Date an amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Price for such Transaction, all Transaction Costs and any other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, amounts due under Section 3(n), Section 3(o) and Section 3(p) of this Agreement, if any, and the Exit Fee, if applicable) with respect to such Transaction against transfer to Seller or its agent of the related Purchased Asset.

(i) On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of the applicable Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or, if requested by Seller, its designee of the related Purchased Assets, and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer to Buyer of the applicable Repurchase Price, all Transaction Costs and any other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction (including without limitation, amounts payable under Section 3(n), Section 3(o) and Section 3(p) of this Agreement, if any and the Exit Fee, if applicable) to an account of Buyer.

(j) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Repurchase Price with respect to one or more Purchased Assets may be paid in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice from Seller to Buyer; provided, however, that any such payment shall be accompanied by an amount representing accrued Price Differential with respect to such Purchased Asset(s) on the amount of such payment and all other amounts then due under the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee, if applicable). Each partial payment of the Repurchase Price that is voluntary (as opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Agreement) shall be in an amount of not less than $[100,000].

(k) If (i) Buyer shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as reasonably determined by Buyer) of making or maintaining Transactions, and Buyer has made the same determination for all similar commercial real estate repurchase transactions, Buyer shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to all outstanding Transactions until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, plus (ii) 0.25%, plus (iii) the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”).

(l) 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 LIBOR Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (i) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new LIBOR Transactions and to continue LIBOR Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (ii) the LIBOR Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions.

(m) If Buyer shall have determined that the introduction of, or a change in, any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law (including, without limitation changes in any Reserve Requirements and any other increase in cost to Buyer, as applicable) has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into any

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

Transaction or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Buyer to enter into any Transaction, then on notice thereof by Buyer to Seller, but only if Buyer has given the same notice for all similar commercial real estate repurchase transactions, any obligations of Buyer to enter into Transactions shall be suspended until Buyer notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(n) Upon demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity, or indirect or consequential damages) (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Buyer actually sustains or incurs as a direct result of (i) a default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(h) of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of all or any portion of the Repurchase Price, as the case may be, on any day other than a Remittance Date or (iii) Seller’s failure to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has given a Final Approval to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to so repay or reimburse Buyer under this Section 3(n) unless Buyer incurred such actual loss, cost or expense as LIBOR breakage costs. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller in writing and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(o) If Buyer shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy, including the Reserve Requirements or any other reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Buyer or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding such requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, and Buyer has made the same determination for all similar commercial real estate repurchase transactions, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(o) shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. With respect to each reduction in the rate of return described above, this Section 3(o) shall survive for a period of nine (9) months from the date of the incurrence of such reduction by Buyer. This Section 3(o) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

(p) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement 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, Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirements of Law. As soon as

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(p), 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.

(q) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction Documents, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and 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 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 3(q)(ii)(A), Section 3(q)(ii)(B) and Section 3(q)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would be illegal, would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) if Buyer is a United States Person, it shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) if Buyer is not a United States Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of Buyer that is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (1) with respect to payments characterized as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes under any Transaction Document, executed originals of 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 (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, 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;

(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate to the effect that 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 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) if Buyer is not a United States Person, 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 to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to Buyer under any Transaction 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 whether Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3(q)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3(q) 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.

(r) If any of the events described in Section 3(k), Section 3(n), Section 3(o) or Section 3(p) result in Buyer’s election to use the Alternative Rate or Buyer’s request for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate all of the Transactions, terminate this Agreement and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets without payment of any Exit Fee, Unused Fee, Annual Fee or similar fee no later than five (5) Business Days after such notice is given to Buyer, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(g). The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 3(r) shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Buyer prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Assets.

(s) From and after the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall have no further obligation to purchase any New Assets. On the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase all of the Purchased Assets and transfer payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Asset, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and all Transaction Costs and other amounts due and payable to Buyer hereunder, against the transfer by Buyer to Seller or its agent or nominee of each such Purchased Asset. Following the Facility Termination Date, Buyer shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Assets to Seller until payment in full to Buyer of all amounts due hereunder.

(t) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines or directives promulgated in connection therewith or in implementation thereof that are finalized or become effective after the date hereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities that are finalized or become effective after the date hereof, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement.


4.	MANDATORY PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL ASSETS

(a) Buyer may determine and re-determine the Asset Base Components on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Margin Credit Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, if at any such time the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets is greater than the aggregate Asset Base Components of the Purchased Assets as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion and notified in writing and by telephone to Seller on any Business Day (a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Margin Deficit from Buyer, deliver to Buyer (i) cash in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchased Assets to an amount equal to the aggregate Asset Base Components as re-determined by Buyer after giving effect to the delivery of cash by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4(a) or (ii) Cash Equivalents acceptable to Buyer with a Market Value that, when added to the aggregate Asset Base Components, equals or exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price; provided that Seller shall not be required to cure a Margin Deficit unless and until the aggregate outstanding Margin Deficit of all Purchased Assets equals or exceeds $1,000,000 on any date of determination. Any cash delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be applied by Buyer to reduce the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Assets.

(b) If at any such time the Purchase Price of one or more Purchased Assets is less than the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole good faith discretion (a “Margin Excess”), then Buyer shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a request from Seller, transfer (i) cash to Seller in an amount (not to exceed such Margin Excess) such that the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset, after the addition of any such cash so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such Asset Base Component as re-determined by Buyer after giving effect to the delivery of cash by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b) and/or (ii) Cash Equivalents previously delivered to Buyer in accordance with Section 4(a) with a Market Value equal to such Margin Excess; provided that (i) no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such funding, (ii) such funding shall not result in the Aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets exceeding the Facility Amount and (iii) each such funding shall be in an amount of not less than $100,000. Any cash delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be applied by Buyer to increase the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset. Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver a restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Seller may not request funding under this Section 4(b) more than three (3) times in any calendar month.


5.	INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) On or before the date hereof, Seller and Buyer shall establish and maintain with the Depository Bank a deposit account in the name of Seller and under the sole control of Buyer with respect to which the Controlled Account Agreement shall have been executed (such account, together with any replacement or successor thereof, the “Controlled Account”). Seller shall cause all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited in the Controlled Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Controlled Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets within two (2) Business Days of receipt. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, which may include

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, shall be deposited directly into, or, if applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Controlled Account.

(b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Remittance Date, all Income on deposit in the Controlled Account in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Remittance Date;

(ii) second, to Buyer, any accrued and unpaid Unused Fee and all Transaction Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price);

(iii) third, if a Principal Payment in respect of any Purchased Asset has been made during the related Collection Period, to Buyer an amount equal to the product of the amount of such Principal Payment, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Percentage;

(iv) fourth, if a Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, to Buyer, an amount such that, after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets is equal to the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets, as determined by Buyer after giving effect to such payment, to the extent of remaining funds in the Controlled Account; and

(b) Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:

(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 Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller), 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”) (and any Transaction for which the related Purchase Date has not yet occurred shall be canceled).

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 14(b)(i) hereof (A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date, and all Income deposited in the Controlled Account shall be retained by Buyer and applied to the Repurchase Obligations; (B) the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall include the accrued and unpaid Price Differential with respect to each Purchased Asset accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon an Event of Default for such Transaction; and (C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer (with simultaneous copy of such request to Seller), deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets.

(iii) Buyer may, after ten (10) days’ notice to Seller of Buyer’s intent to take such action (provided that no such notice shall be required in the circumstances set forth in Section 9-611(d) of the UCC), (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 to be satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis or (B) in Buyer’s sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Obligations. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied: first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; second, to the costs of covering any Hedging Transactions, if any; third, to the Repurchase Price; fourth, to all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations; and fifth, the balance, if any, to Seller. In the event that Buyer shall not have received repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations following its liquidation of the Purchased Assets, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, pursue Seller and Guarantor (to the extent provided in the Guaranty) for all or any part of any deficiency.

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets shall 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 Buyer’s sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.

(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with covering Hedging Transactions (including short sales) or entering into replacement transactions, (C) all damages, losses, judgments and out-of-pocket costs and other expenses of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Buyer relating to or arising out of such Hedging Transactions, and (D) any other loss, damage or out-of-pocket cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) 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

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have.

(vii) 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 of the 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.

(viii) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Buyer, Buyer shall have the right of setoff set forth in Section 26 hereof.

(ix) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized 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 other agreement between Buyer and Seller, exercisable upon ten (10) days notice from Buyer to Seller. 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 or its Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Seller and Buyer or between Seller and any Affiliate of Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(x) Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each case until such time as Buyer determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Buyer would otherwise be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

(xi) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no obligation to review or purchase any Eligible Asset during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(d) So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer may assign, participate or sell its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and/or any Transaction to any Person without prior notice to Seller and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) and

respect to the Purchased Assets in the Controlled Account, all in such manner as shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Buyer shall have the right immediately to terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee.


23.	TREATMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES

It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a financing, and that Seller is, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state or local taxing authority.

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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 SEC under Section 15 of the 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;

(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; and

(d) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an “insured depository institution”, as that term is defined in Section 1813(c)(2) of Title 12 of the United States Code, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.


26.	SETOFF RIGHTS

Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Buyer, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, and any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and appropriate

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

and apply 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, claims, securities, collateral or other property, 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 Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit of the account of Seller, Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor to any obligations of Seller hereunder to Buyer. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may estimate that obligation and set off in respect of such estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. This Section 26 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, 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).


27.	MISCELLANEOUS

(a) Confidentiality. The Transaction Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are proprietary to the parties hereto and shall be held by each party (as the “Receiving Party”) in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of the other party (as the “Disclosing Party”) except for (i) disclosure to the Receiving Party’s Affiliates, directors, attorneys, advisers, agents or accountants (the “Representatives”); provided that the Receiving Party shall (A) inform each of its Representatives receiving any Transaction Documents of the confidential nature of the Transaction Documents, (B) direct its Representatives to treat the Transaction Documents confidentially, and (C) be responsible for any improper use of the Transaction Documents by the Receiving Party or its Representatives or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body deemed necessary and/or advisable by such Person's legal counsel or (iii) disclosure to any hedge counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedging Transaction hereunder or (iv) any disclosures or filing required under SEC or state securities laws; provided further that, in the case of disclosure by any party pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Disclosing Party with prior written notice to permit such other party to seek a protective order to take other appropriate action if permitted by law. Each party shall reasonably cooperate in the Disclosing Party’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Transaction Documents. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is compelled as a matter of law to disclose any such information, the Receiving Party may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of the Transaction Documents as is required by law to be disclosed (in which case, prior to such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall advise and consult with the Disclosing Party and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer and any of its Representatives may disclose any such information, without notice to Seller, to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of Buyer’s business or that of its Representatives in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal income tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal income tax treatment; provided that the Receiving Party may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to the Disclosing Party or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits and financial covenants) that is unrelated to the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the purported or claimed federal income tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the obligations under this Section 27(a) shall not apply to disclosures of any information, documents or portions thereof that (i) were of public knowledge or literature generally available to the public at the time of such disclosure; (ii) have become part of the public domain by publication or otherwise, other than as a result of the failure of any Person required to keep such information confidential as provided in this Section 27(a) to do so; (iii) are disclosed with the prior written consent of the other party hereto; (iv) were already in the Receiving Party’s possession; (v) are obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party who, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, is not prohibited from transmitting such information or documents to the Receiving Party by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (vi) are independently developed by the Receiving Party.

(b) Compliance with the GLB Act. Seller shall, with respect to all Purchased Assets, comply with the applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) and any applicable state and local privacy laws pursuant to the GLB Act for financial institutions and applicable state and local privacy laws. Seller agrees to hold Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors and employees (each, a “GLB Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any GLB Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such GLB Indemnified Party directly relating to or arising out of Seller’s violation of the GLB Act or any applicable state or local privacy laws with respect to the Purchased Assets.

(c) Waiver. 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 here from shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.

(d) Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder, and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents.

(e) Rights Cumulative. 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 and any other applicable law.

(f) Counterparts. The Transaction 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.

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

(h) Interpretation. 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.

(i) Integration. 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

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(j) Binding Effect. Each party understands that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents to the other that such party 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.

(k) Interpretation. 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.

(l) Waiver of Damages. Seller agrees that it shall not assert any claims against Buyer for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages for the actual use or purported use of proceeds hereunder.

EXHIBIT III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REGARDING THE PURCHASED ASSETS

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

(1)

Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Participation Certificate was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation (other than with respect to the Participation Interests) 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 (other than with respect to the Participation Interests), any other ownership interests on, in or to such Purchased Asset. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Asset, and the assignment to 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.

(2)

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


(3)	Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against

Exhibit III

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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

(4)

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

(5)

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Asset File or as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Asset Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty, participation agreement, if applicable, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on Purchased Asset; (b) no related 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 related borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participating Person has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Asset Documents. With respect to each Purchased Asset, except as contained in a written document included in the Purchased Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Asset consented to by Seller.

(6)

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


(7)	Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each 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

Exhibit III - 2

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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


(8)	Junior Liens. There are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

(9)

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

(10)

UCC Filings. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such 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 perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien

Exhibit III - 3

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC-1 financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-2 or UCC-3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

(11)

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

(12)

Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this Paragraph (12), real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

(13)

Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Purchased 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.

(14)

Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c)

Exhibit III - 4

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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

(15)

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to 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 (other than for costs incurred since origination with respect to the applicable work). No other such escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Asset Documents.

(16)

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

(17)

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Asset and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the 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 Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

Exhibit III - 5

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount not less than the wind modeling PML determined at the 0.400% critical probability or 1 in 250 return period on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirement.

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 a prudent institutional commercial mortgage lender for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the 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 rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of 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 and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to

Exhibit III - 6

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

(18)

Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each 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) to Seller’s knowledge, is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, 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 or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Purchased Asset Documents has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.

(19)

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


(20)	No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that a Purchased Asset may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.


(21)	[Reserved.]


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


(23)	Authorized to do Business. To Seller’s knowledge, and to the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date and as of each date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of

Exhibit III - 7

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by Buyer.

(24)

Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Asset, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

(25)

Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset, there are no material violations of applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, building codes, restrictions and land laws (collectively, “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the 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 prudent commercial mortgage lenders for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

(26)

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


(27)	Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased Asset is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that: (a) the related Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged property

Exhibit III - 8

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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

(28)

Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the 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.

(29)

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

(30)

Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively, the “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Asset, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) does not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for

Exhibit III - 9

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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

(31)

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the related 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 equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph (28) herein, or (vii) to the extent set forth in any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise.

(32)

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the borrower 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 principal amount on the Purchase Date of $5 million or more provide that the borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $20 million or

Exhibit III - 10

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Paragraph (32), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Assets and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

(33)

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

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

(a)

The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. 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 had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instrument which are included in the related Purchased Asset File;

(b)

The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset File (or in such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated, without the prior written consent of the lender (except termination or cancellation if (i) notice of a default under the Ground Lease is provided to lender and (ii) such default is curable by lender as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period), and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Purchased Asset except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Purchased Asset File;


(c)	The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity

Exhibit III - 11

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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);


(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, 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 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, 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 the lessor, in each case, so long as the successor or assignee satisfies the requirements of a “permitted leasehold mortgagee” or comparable definition in the applicable Ground Lease;

(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;

(i)	The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage 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 Paragraph (33)(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 or the ground lessor having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest;


(k)	In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s

Exhibit III - 12

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; and


(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.

(35)

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

(36)

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

(37)

No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Purchased Date, no Purchased Asset is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset, or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this Paragraph (37) does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents.

Exhibit III - 13

[NEWYORK ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇_23]


(38)	Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related 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 state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

(39)

Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the 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. No Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another borrower.

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

(40)

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

A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, “Environmental Conditions”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material

Exhibit III - 14

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-“ (or the equivalent) by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

In the case of each Purchased Asset with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance has been issued by issuer set forth in the related Exception Report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii)(A) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Purchased Asset.


(41)	Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the rent roll delivered as of the origination date. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller

Exhibit III - 15

[NEWYORK 3032673_23]

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

(42)

Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six months of the Purchased Asset origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Asset.


(43)	Purchased Asset Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set forth in the Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchased Date and contains all information required by the Repurchase Agreement to be contained therein.


(44)	Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan.

(45)

Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Purchased Asset (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Asset Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Purchased Asset Documents). Except with respect to Future Advance Assets, Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Asset, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.
