(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions Precedent set forth herein), Buyer (x) has entered into certain Transactions specified in Schedule 2 to the Letter Agreement as of the Second Amendment and Restatement Date and (y) agrees to consider entering into Transactions from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion, in each case, pursuant to written request at the initiation of Master Seller as provided in this Agreement. Seller shall give Buyer written notice of each proposed Transaction and Buyer shall inform Master Seller of its determination with respect to any assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in accordance with Exhibit VIII attached hereto, which may be amended from time to time by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall have the right to (x) review all Eligible Loans proposed to be sold to Buyer in any Transaction and to conduct its own due diligence investigation of such Eligible Loans as Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion and (y) with respect to Construction Loans, review the related Business Plan and determine in Buyer’s sole and absolute

-37-

discretion any additional terms and conditions and additional representations and warranties that shall be applicable to such Purchased Loan. Buyer shall be entitled to make a determination, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether it shall or shall not purchase any or all of the Eligible Loans proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller. In addition, Buyer shall not be required to enter into any Transaction if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Transaction Documents.

(b) Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, provided each of the Transaction Conditions Precedent shall have been satisfied (or waived in writing by Buyer), as determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (and evidenced by Buyer’s execution of a related Confirmation and funding of the related Purchase Price), Buyer shall promptly deliver to Master Seller a written confirmation (which shall also be in electronic form) in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto of each Transaction (a “Confirmation”). Such Confirmation shall describe each Purchased Loan to be included in such Transaction, shall identify Buyer and the applicable Series Seller for such Transaction, and shall set forth:

(i) the Purchase Date,

(ii) the Principal Balance,

(iii) the Purchase Date Market Value,

(iv) the Actual Original Purchase Percentage,

(v) the Maximum Original Purchase Percentage,

(vi) the Purchase Price, (vii) the Repurchase Date,

(viii) the initial Pricing Rate (including the Applicable Spread) applicable to the Transaction and the Financing Fee Rate applicable to the Transaction,

(ix) the total future funding obligations of Seller required to be funded pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents;

(x) if such Purchased Loan is a Construction Loan, the related Business Plan and such other conditions, documents and representations and warranties applicable to such Construction Loan, in each case, as Buyer may require in its sole discretion; and

(xi) any additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement.

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

-38-

(c) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transactions covered thereby unless specific objection is made by Seller no more than five (5) Business Days after the date thereof (unless such period is waived in writing by Seller). In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, the Confirmation shall prevail. 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 five (5) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by Seller (unless such period is waived in writing by Seller).

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) On the applicable Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of such Transaction will be effected by transfer to the applicable Series Seller or its agent of the applicable Purchased Loan(s) and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Master Seller, such Series Seller or any other Series Seller pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement), against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price for such Transaction to an account of Buyer including the Cash Management Account.

(f) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3(f), each Transaction shall be a LIBOR Transaction and shall bear interest at the LIBOR Pricing Rate applicable to such Transaction. In the event that Buyer shall have determined in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that one or more LIBOR Unavailability Conditions Exists, then Buyer shall have the sole and exclusive right at its election, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert any LIBOR Transaction from a LIBOR Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction based on the applicable Alternate Index Rate selected by Buyer as provided in the definition thereof, provided that such conversion shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) at the time of conversion, such applicable Alternate Index Rate is a floating rate index that is then commonly used by Buyer in its commercial real estate repurchase facilities as an alternative to the LIBOR Pricing Rate, as determined by Buyer in its sole but good faith discretion, and (B) such applicable Alternate Index Rate is administratively and commercially reasonable for Buyer to implement, as determined by Buyer in its sole but good faith discretion. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and the LIBOR Transaction is to be converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction as provided above, Buyer shall provide written notice of the conversion of such LIBOR Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction to Seller in the time period set forth in Section 6 of the Fee Letter prior to implementing such Alternative Rate on the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date,. If such notice is given, the Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, at Buyer’s option (in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion) to an Alternate Rate Transaction bearing interest at the Alternate Pricing Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to convert a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction.

-39-

(ii) In the event that Buyer shall have determined in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that one or more LIBOR Unavailability Conditions exists and the applicable Transaction has not previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction in accordance with Section 3(f)(i) above, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion elect to give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice in accordance with Section 3(f)(iii)) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. Subject to Section 3(f)(iii) hereof, if such notice is given, the Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, at Buyer’s option (in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion), to a Prime Rate Transaction bearing interest at the Prime Pricing Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to convert a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction.

(iii) If, pursuant to Section 3(f)(ii) hereof, the Transaction has been converted to a Prime Rate Transaction and Buyer shall determine in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable (i.e., a LIBOR Unavailability Condition does not exist) and LIBOR can be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, the Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to a LIBOR Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to convert a Prime Rate Transaction to a LIBOR Transaction or a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction.

(iv) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 3(f)(i) hereof, the Transaction has been converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction but thereafter Buyer shall determine in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that the Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for Buyer to maintain an Alternate Rate Transaction as contemplated hereunder, or the Alternate Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Seller may by law pay, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. If such notice is given, such Alternate Rate Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next Pricing Rate Period, to a Prime Rate Transaction. If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(f), such Transaction has been converted to a Prime Rate Transaction and thereafter Buyer has determined in its sole but good faith discretion that LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index and such Alternate Index can be determined, then Buyer shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Transaction from a Prime Rate Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction in accordance with, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, the provisions

-40-

of Section 3(f)(i) above, and Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date, and if such notice is given, the Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to an Alternate Rate Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction or a Prime Rate Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction.

(v) If the adoption of any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Buyer to maintain a LIBOR Transaction as contemplated hereunder, without limiting the rights of Buyer to convert the Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction as set forth above, (a) the obligation of Buyer hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Transaction or to convert any Prime Rate Transaction to a LIBOR Transaction shall be cancelled forthwith and (b) any outstanding LIBOR Transaction shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Transaction on the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law.

(vi) Seller hereby agrees to promptly pay to Buyer, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for any actual out-of-pocket costs (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) incurred by Buyer in making any conversion to an Alternate Rate Transaction in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain any LIBOR Transaction (or Alternate Rate Transaction) hereunder. Buyer’s notice of such costs, as certified to Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Rate Conversion and/or the implementation thereof, Buyer shall have the right to make any Rate Conversion Conforming Changes from time to time as Buyer determines, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, are necessary in connection with such conversion and/or the implementation thereof, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Documents, any amendments implementing such Rate Conversion Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement.

(viii) If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof.

Buyer shall exercise its right to select an Alternative Rate Index as described in this Section 3(f), in a manner substantially similar to Buyer’s exercise of similar rights and remedies in commercial real estate repurchase agreements with similarly situated customers where Buyer has comparable contractual rights.

(g) [Reserved].

-41-

(h) Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net actual, out of pocket loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) of a termination of a Transaction, (i) any payment of the Repurchase Price for any Purchased Loan on any day other than a Remittance Date or the Repurchase Date for such Purchased Loan (including, without limitation, any actual breakage costs and similar out of pocket costs or (iii) conversion of the Transaction to either a Prime Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction pursuant to Section 3(f) of this Agreement on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period. A certificate as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein.

(i) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the Closing Date:

(i) shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” or (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

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

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(i), it shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Buyer has actual knowledge of such event, notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Such notification shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 3(i), Buyer shall exercise its rights and remedies in a manner substantially similar to Buyer’s exercise of similar remedies in agreements with similarly situated customers where Buyer has comparable contractual rights. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.

-42-

(j) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Buyer in respect of any Transaction hereunder or reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such 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 capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, then from time to time, 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. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 3(j), Buyer shall exercise its rights and remedies in a manner substantially similar to Buyer’s exercise of similar remedies in agreements with similarly situated customers where Buyer has comparable contractual rights. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loan.

(k) Master Seller, on behalf of any Series Seller, shall have the right at any time, upon one (1) Business Day prior notice to Buyer, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the Repurchase Price of, but not terminating, the Transaction to which such Series Seller is a party; provided, that (x) to the extent that the Purchase Price of any Purchased Loan is reduced by Master Seller pursuant to this sentence to an amount that is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Repurchase Price Cap of such Purchased Loan, the Margin Excess with respect to such Purchased Loan shall thereafter (unless Buyer, in its sole discretion, determines not to apply the following reduction) be reduced by the amount equal to the difference between (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Repurchase Price Cap of such Purchased Loan and (ii) the Purchase Price of such Purchased Loan following the application of such reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to this sentence which causes the Purchase Price to be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Repurchase Price Cap, and (y) such transfers shall not occur on more than six (6) Business Days per calendar quarter (it being understood that such transfers may be made with respect to a single Purchased Loan or multiple Purchased Loans, at such Series Seller’s election, on any such day). In addition, Master Seller, on behalf of any Series Seller, shall be entitled to terminate the Transaction to which such Series Seller is a party on demand and repurchase a related Purchased Loan in whole on any Business Day prior to related Repurchase Date provided that (i) Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the intended repurchase date (an “Early Repurchase Date”) unless such Early Repurchase Date, is in connection with curing a Margin Deficit or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or in connection with any change in any Requirement of Law or application thereof which makes the Transaction unlawful in which case advance notice shall not be required, and (ii) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to the

-43-

Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Loan and any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement with respect to such Purchased Loan (including, without limitation, any Exit Fee payable pursuant to the Letter Agreement). In connection with any reduction of outstanding Purchase Price (other than a termination of a Transaction) pursuant to this Section 3(k), Buyer and Seller shall amend and restate the existing Confirmation for the Transaction to set forth the current outstanding Purchase Price and any other changes related thereto.

(l) Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Early Repurchase Event with respect to any Purchased Loan, Buyer may, upon written notice to the applicable Series Seller, accelerate the Repurchase Date of such Purchased Loan to the date (the “Mandatory Early Repurchase Date”) which is three (3) Business Days following such notice, provided that such notice is sent by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), or four (4) Business Days following such notice if such notice is sent after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (or such earlier date as may be required pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3(l)), and require that the applicable Series Seller repurchase such Purchased Loan from Buyer on such Mandatory Early Repurchase Date (a “Mandatory Early Repurchase”), which repurchase by the applicable Series Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3(e).

(m) If Buyer shall exercise its rights under Sections 3(g), 3(i) or 3(j), then Seller shall have the right, at any time thereafter (unless Buyer has at such time waived any claims pursuant to such Sections or such Sections no longer apply) to terminate this Agreement or all Transactions hereunder and, in connection with any such termination, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, there shall be no Exit Fee or prepayment fee or premium or similar payment due.

(n) On or before the Purchase Date for any Transaction, Member shall establish, pursuant to the provisions of the Master Seller LLC Agreement and in accordance with Delaware law, a new Series Seller to enter into such Transaction pursuant to the related Confirmation, and deliver copies of the completed Schedule C to the Master Seller LLC Agreement with respect to such Series Seller and same shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer. On or prior to the Purchase Date for any Transaction, (i) Master Seller and such new Series Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a joinder agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit XI (a “Joinder Agreement”) pursuant to which such Series Seller shall be added as a party hereto and to the other Transaction Documents and any other documents and agreements as Buyer may reasonably require with respect to such Series Seller or in connection with such Transaction and (ii) if required by Buyer in its sole discretion, Buyer shall have filed UCC financing statements in all applicable filing offices with respect to such new Series Seller, which UCC financing statements shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer and may describe the collateral as “All assets of [such new Series Seller], whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description.

(o) Other than with respect to Future Funding Amounts specifically disclosed by Seller and approved by Buyer either on the related Purchase Date in the Confirmation or otherwise in writing for the applicable Purchased Loan, Buyer shall have no obligation to consider entering into any Future Funding Transaction with respect to any Purchased Loan. With respect to Future Funding Amounts that were approved by Buyer in the related

-44-

Confirmation on the Purchase Date (“Approved Future Funding Amounts”), Buyer’s agreement to enter into any related Future Funding Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3(o), both immediately prior to entering into such Future Funding Transaction and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof, and all such Future Funding Transactions shall be otherwise subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) With respect to any one or more Purchased Loans with Approved Future Funding Amounts, on or prior to the first (1^st) Business Day of each calendar month prior to the Facility Termination Date, Seller may submit a request to Buyer requesting a Future Funding Transaction (a “Future Funding Transaction Request”) in which, subject to the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 3(o), Buyer shall remit Future Funding Amounts requested in such Future Funding Transaction Request to or on account of Seller by no later than the tenth (10^th) Business Day following the date of the related Future Funding Transaction Request (a “Future Funding Transaction Date”); provided, however, that Buyer shall only be obligated to fund Future Funding Amounts hereunder to the extent that future funding advances made by Seller under the related Purchased Loans from and after the date of the last preceding Future Funding Transaction are equal to or in excess of $1,000,000. Seller shall notify Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Future Funding Transaction Date (x) whether Seller has determined that all related conditions precedent to future funding advances under the related Purchased Loan Documents have been satisfied and (y) whether Seller funded, or approved for funding, the related advance under the Purchased Loan Documents.

(ii) In connection with any Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall have the right to conduct an additional due diligence investigation of the Future Funding Request Package and/or the related Purchased Loan as Buyer reasonably determines. In addition, each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied (each such condition, a “Future Funding Condition”) on or before the related Future Funding Transaction Date: (a) Buyer shall have received a complete Future Funding Request Package on or prior to the date that Seller has submitted the related Future Funding Transaction Request, (b) Buyer shall have determined in its commercially reasonable discretion that all related conditions precedent to future funding advances under the related Purchased Loan Documents, as in effect on the related Purchase Date (or as modified thereafter in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement), have been satisfied according to the applicable standard of discretion set forth in such Purchased Loan Documents, (c) unless previously approved by Buyer, Buyer shall have approved in its commercially reasonable discretion the related Mortgagor’s budget and capital expenditure plan or any material changes thereto, (d) [reserved], (e) Buyer shall have received evidence, acceptable to Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion, of title and lien searches relating to the Mortgaged Property performed in connection with the related future funding advances, (f) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, or any default or event of default (howsoever defined) on the Purchased Loan or under the related Purchased Loan Documents, shall have occurred and be continuing, no Margin Deficit under this Agreement shall be outstanding, and (g) the Future Funding Amount requested of Buyer in connection with such Future Funding Transaction shall be in an amount of no less than $500,000 (subject in all cases to the proviso set forth in the preceding clause (i)). Buyer hereby agrees to

-45-

act diligently in good faith to confirm the satisfaction of the Future Funding Conditions set forth in this Section 3(o)(ii) on or prior to the related Future Funding Transaction Date. Buyer’s determination, in its commercially reasonable discretion, that the Future Funding Conditions have not been satisfied shall not affect Seller’s obligations with respect to future advances under a Purchased Loan as and when required pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents.

(iii) With respect to each Future Funding Transaction, Seller and Buyer shall amend the related Confirmation to reflect the outstanding principal balance and current Purchase Price of the related Purchased Loan after giving effect to such Future Funding Transaction.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller and Buyer may, in Buyer’s sole discretion, agree from time to time to cause a Future Funding Transaction to occur on the same day as a Future Funding Date with respect to a Purchased loan, in which case the Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount on the related Future Funding Date, as Seller may direct in writing, as follows: (a) if an escrow agreement has been established in connection with such Future Funding Transaction, remit the related Future Funding Amount to the related escrow account, (b) if the terms of the Purchased Loan Documents provide for a reserve account in connection with future advances, remit the related Future Funding Amount to the applicable reserve account or (c) otherwise, remit the related Future Funding Amount directly to the Mortgagor under the related Purchased Loan.

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, upon written request of Seller prior to the then current Revolving Period Expiration Date, provided all of the Extension Conditions shall have been satisfied, Buyer may in its sole discretion agree to extend the current Revolving Period Expiration Date for one or more additional terms, each for a period not longer than one (1) year, by giving written notice to Seller of such extension. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to each extension, the “Extension Conditions” shall be deemed to have been satisfied if:

(i) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the then current Revolving Period Expiration Date of Seller’s request for such extension, to which Buyer shall respond with its approval or disapproval within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of such request, provided that if Buyer has not so responded within such fifteen (15) Business Day period such request shall be deemed denied;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the then current Revolving Period Expiration Date, and no due and unpaid Margin Deficit shall exist;

(iii) all other fees and amounts then due from Seller to Buyer hereunder or the other Transaction Documents shall have been paid, including without limitation all fees payable pursuant to any Confirmation; and

-46-

(iv) the representations and warranties made by Seller and Sponsor in each of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the then current Revolving Period Expiration Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such particular date), except as disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the Purchase Date for any applicable Purchased Loan in an Exceptions Report.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with any extension of the Facility Termination Date in accordance with the terms of such definition (i.e., pursuant to an amendment to Schedule 2 to the Letter Agreement made in accordance with the Letter Agreement), the Repurchase Date of each Purchased Loan as set forth in the related Confirmation shall be deemed extended, with respect to each such Purchased Loan, to the earlier of (x) the applicable extended Facility Termination Date and (y) the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the maturity date or other earlier repayment date (under the related Purchased Loan Documents) for such Purchased Loan (or, in the case of any Senior Interest, the underlying mortgage loan), without giving effect to any extension of such maturity date, whether by modification, waiver, forbearance or otherwise (other than extensions at the related Mortgagor’s option without requiring consent of the Seller or for which the Seller’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Loan Documents as such Purchased Loan Documents existed on the related Purchase Date.

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Repurchase Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to purchase any Eligible Loan proposed by Seller for sale under this Agreement if, after giving effect to such Transaction and any Future Funding Amounts requested in connection therewith, the aggregate Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) for all Transactions then outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount.

(r) Without limiting the provisions hereof or of the other Transaction Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Confirmation with respect to a specific Purchased Loan, Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller that may be a party to a Transaction hereunder, and Buyer hereby agree that Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer, for each Transaction, a Financing Fee at a rate specified by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (for each Transaction, the “Financing Fee Rate”) as set forth in the Confirmation related to such Transaction, which Financing Fee Rate shall not exceed the cap specified in such Confirmation (the “Financing Fee Cap”). The accrued but unpaid Financing Fee with respect to a Purchased Loan shall be payable on each Remittance Date and, unless otherwise paid by Seller or its Affiliates, the accrued Financing Fees shall be remitted by Depository to Buyer (or to such other party as may be designated by Buyer in the relevant Confirmation) from the Cash Management Account on each Remittance Date pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5(c)(iv), 5(d)(iv) or 5(e)(iii), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) if no Financing Fee Rate is specified in the applicable Confirmation, the amount of corresponding Financing Fee shall be zero, (ii) if a Financing Fee Rate is specified in the applicable Confirmation for a Transaction, it shall be expressed as a percentage or as basis points, and (iii) in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay Financing Fees in excess of the Financing Fee Cap with respect to any Transaction.

-47-

(s) All amounts payable by Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be paid without notice (other than as required herein), demand (other than as required herein), counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (i) any Act of Insolvency relating to Seller, any Mortgagor or any other loan participant under a Related Interest, or any action taken with respect to any Transaction Document, Purchased Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, any Mortgagor or any other loan participant under a Related Interest, or by any court in any such proceeding, (ii) any claim that Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Transaction Document or otherwise, (iii) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Transaction Document or other agreement with Seller, (iv) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Loan, Transaction Document or Purchased Loan Document, or (v) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller has notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall in any way (A) limit any notice and cure periods in favor of Seller set forth in the Transaction Documents or (B) undermine any requirement that Buyer exercise its remedies hereunder in accordance with the UCC (to the extent the UCC is applicable to such exercise of remedies) or to determine Market Value in accordance with the definition thereof. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller and recourse to Sponsor and Member as and to the extent set forth in the Guaranty and Member Guaranty, as applicable. This Section 3(s) shall survive the termination of the Transaction Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

(a) Buyer shall determine the Repurchase Price Cap of each Purchased Loan on each Business Day and shall determine (i) the amount, if any, by which such Repurchase Price Cap is less than the Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential) (a “Margin Deficit”) and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the Repurchase Price Cap exceeds the Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential) (“Margin Excess”).

(b) Subject to Section 4(f) hereunder, if at any time an aggregate Margin Deficit exists with respect to one or more Purchased Loans in an amount greater than the Margin Call Threshold, then Buyer may by written notice (which notice shall be given in accordance with Section 16 hereof) (a “Margin Notice”) to Master Seller on behalf of the applicable Series Seller(s), require the applicable Series Seller(s) to make a payment to Buyer in the amount of the Margin Deficit for such Purchased Loan(s) (which, subject to Section 4(c), Seller may satisfy by requesting in writing that Buyer apply any then-existing Margin Excess to such Purchased Loan in full or partial satisfaction of such Margin Deficit), to be applied in reduction of the Repurchase Price of some or all of the related Purchased Loans, as determined by Buyer, by no later than the Margin Deadline on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the date of receipt of such Margin Notice. The applicable Series Seller’s failure to cure any Margin Deficit as required by this paragraph within the time periods set forth herein shall constitute a Transaction Event of Default with respect to the applicable Transaction under the Transaction Documents and shall entitle Buyer to exercise its remedies under Section 13(c) of this Agreement.

-48-

(c) If at any time a Margin Excess exists with respect to a Purchased Loan, then Master Seller may by notice delivered to Buyer require Buyer to transfer to Master Seller on behalf of the applicable Series Seller cash in an amount up to the Margin Excess by no later than the Margin Deadline on the date that is one (1) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of such notice from Master Seller, provided that such notice is received by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time), or two (2) Business Days following the date of Buyer’s receipt of such notice from Seller if such notice is received after 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date; provided, however, that (1) any such transfer of cash shall not be in an amount less than $100,000, (2) any such transfer of cash shall not cause the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Loan to exceed the Repurchase Price Cap for such Transaction, (3) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, (4) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer such information and other reporting with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan as required to be delivered by Seller hereunder, and (5) Master Seller shall delivered a certificate of an Authorized Representative of Master Seller in the form of Exhibit XIII certifying that, to Master Seller’s Knowledge, no Default or Event of Default, and no Purchased Loan Default or Purchased Loan Event of Default relating any Purchased Loan subject to such transfer, has occurred and is continuing as of the date of such transfer which has not been disclosed to Buyer.

(d) The failure of, or delay by, Buyer or Seller, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its respective rights under Section 4(b) and 4(c) of this Agreement shall not (i) change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject, (ii) limit the right of such party to do so at a later date, (iii) limit such party’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law, or (iv) in any way create additional rights for such party.

(e) If Master Seller and/or any applicable Series Sellers transfer cash to Buyer on account of Margin Deficits relating to more than one Purchased Loan, but such cash is insufficient to fully satisfy such Margin Deficits (after giving effect to any netting pursuant to Section 4(f)), Buyer shall have the right to designate the Purchased Loan(s) and Margin Deficit(s) to which such payments shall be applied, in its sole and absolute discretion.

(f) Buyer and Master Seller acknowledge and agree that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4(a) through 4(c) hereof, Margin Excess and Margin Deficit shall be netted for all the Transactions under this Agreement, and the aggregate amount of the Margin Excess for all Transactions shall be credited against the aggregate Margin Deficit owed under Section 4(b) and only the net amount need be paid; provided, that any net payment to Master Seller shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4(c).

5. INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

(a) On each Remittance Date, each Series Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (to the extent not paid on such date through the distributions required pursuant to Sections 5(c), (d), (e) and (f) hereof) the accrued but unpaid Price Differential for its applicable Transaction(s) due as of such Remittance Date (along with any other amounts then due and

-49-

payable), by wire transfer in immediately available funds. A Cash Management Account shall be established by Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, at the Depository. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Cash Management Account. All Available Income in respect of the Purchased Loans shall be deposited by Master Seller and each Series Seller or the applicable Servicer (i) directly into the Cash Management Account without any further action of Buyer or (ii) directly into the Applicable Servicer Account for further remittance by the applicable Servicer to the Cash Management Account, subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the related Servicer Notice and Agreement. All such amounts transferred into the Cash Management Account shall be remitted by the Depository in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 5(b), 5(c), 5(d), 5(e), 13(b)(iii) and 13(c)(iii) of this Agreement.

(b) Seller shall cause the Servicer (other than the Initial Servicer) of each Purchased Loan to enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit IX to this Agreement (or in such other form as is acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion), which provides, inter alia, that the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, all Available Income with respect to such Purchased Loan into the Cash Management Account. If a Servicer forwards any Available Income with respect to a Purchased Loan to Master Seller, any Series Seller or any other Person, rather than directly to the Cash Management Account or directly into the Applicable Servicer Account for further remittance by the applicable Servicer to the Cash Management Account, subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the related Servicer Notice and Agreement, Master Seller shall (i) redeliver an executed copy of the Servicer Notice and Agreement to the applicable Servicer, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Buyer and (ii) promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day after receipt) deposit in the Cash Management Account any such amounts. Contemporaneously with the sale to Buyer of any Purchased Loan, the applicable Series Seller shall deliver to Custodian an irrevocable direction letter, each in a form acceptable to Buyer (the “Re-direction Letter”) undated and signed in blank, instructing, as applicable, each Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to such Purchased Loan (as applicable) to pay all amounts payable under the related Purchased Loan into the Cash Management Account, instead of into the Applicable Servicer Account or any other account or to any other Person. If a Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Loan or borrower forwards any Income or other amounts with respect to a Purchased Loan to such Series Seller, any Affiliate of such Series Seller or any other Person rather than directly into the Applicable Servicer Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of Section 5(a) hereof, such Series Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, (i) deliver a separate Re-direction Letter to the applicable Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the Purchased Loan and make other best efforts to cause such Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the Purchased Loan or borrower to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account and (ii) deposit in the Applicable Servicer Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of Section 5(a) hereof, any such amounts within one (1) Business Day of such Series Seller’s (or its Affiliate’s) receipt thereof.

-50-

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Available Income received by the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans (other than Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to remit to (a) the Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) the Depository an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement;

(ii) second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which is due and payable in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Remittance Date;

(iii) third, after giving effect to Section 4(f), to make a payment to Buyer on account of any outstanding and unpaid Margin Deficit;

(iv) fourth, to remit to Buyer on account of any unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; and

(v) fifth, to remit to Master Seller, on behalf of all applicable Series Sellers, the remainder, if any; provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing on such Remittance Date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Master Seller, on behalf of the applicable Series Sellers, hereunder shall be retained in the Cash Management Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority fifth; and (y) the expiration of the cure period applicable to such Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Section 5(e).

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any scheduled or unscheduled Principal Payment (including net sale proceeds) in respect of a Purchased Loan which is a portion of the Available Income received by the Depository during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository (1) on the Business Day following the day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account for funds deposited in the Cash Management Account by 2:00 p.m. (Central time) or (2) on the second (2^nd) Business Day following the day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account for funds deposited in the Cash Management Account after 2:00 p.m. (Central time), in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to remit to (a) the Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) the Depository an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement (in each case, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) above);

-51-

(ii) second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Remittance Date (or such other date of application) (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) above);

(iii) third, after giving effect to Section 4(f), to make a payment to Buyer on account of any outstanding and unpaid Margin Deficit (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii) above);

(iv) fourth, to remit to Buyer on account of any unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv) above);

(v) fifth, to make a payment to Buyer on account of the Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential paid pursuant to Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(d)(ii) above) of each of the respective Purchased Loans in respect of which such Principal Payment(s) and/or net sales proceeds have been received, in an amount equal to the product of (A) such Principal Payment(s) and/or net sales proceeds multiplied by (B) the respective Allocable Percentages applicable thereto;

(vi) sixth, to pay to Buyer all Release Amounts, if any, to be applied by Buyer first to reduce the then-current unpaid Repurchase Price of the Purchased Loan in respect of which such Release Amount was paid, and second to reduce the then-current unpaid Repurchase Price of the remaining Purchased Loans on a pro rata basis; and

(vii) seventh, to remit to Master Seller, on behalf of all applicable Series Sellers, the remainder of such Principal Payment or net sale proceeds, if any; provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing as of such disbursement date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Master Seller, on behalf of the applicable Series Sellers, hereunder shall be retained in the Cash Management Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority seventh; and (y) the expiration of the cure period applicable to such Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Section 5(e).

(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Available Income (including Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) received by Buyer or the Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans during each Collection Period shall be applied by Buyer or the Depository on the Business Day following the day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account as follows:

(i) first, to remit to (a) the Custodian in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) the Depository in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement;

-52-

(ii) second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which is due and payable in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day;

(iii) third, to remit to Buyer in an amount equal to any unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;

(iv) fourth, to make a payment to Buyer in an amount equal to (a) the Repurchase Price of each of the Purchased Loans if a Facility Event of Default exists (which amount may be allocated by Buyer to one or more of the Purchased Loans in such amounts as Buyer may determine in its sole and absolute discretion), or (b) the Repurchase Price of each of the Purchased Loans with respect to which a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (but no Facility Event of Default then exists), in each case until the Repurchase Price for each of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero (if a Facility Event of Default shall exist or Transaction Events of Default shall exist with respect to more than one Purchased Loan, Buyer may allocate amounts under this Section 5(e)(iv) to the Repurchase Price(s) of one or more of such Purchased Loans in such amounts as Buyer may determine in its sole and absolute discretion); and

(v) fifth, to remit to Master Seller the remainder, if any.

(f) Notwithstanding that each Series Seller shall be responsible for its own Available Income, the distribution and allocation of Available Income in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 may, for administrative convenience, be accomplished on an aggregate basis for all Series Sellers. In the event that the amounts remitted pursuant to Sections 5(c), (d) and (e) above on any Remittance Date are insufficient to pay the accrued Price Differential due with respect to each of the Transactions at the respective Pricing Rates as of such Remittance Date (along with any other amounts then due and payable), then Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine each Series Seller which had insufficient Available Income to pay all accrued and unpaid Price Differential at the applicable Pricing Rate as of such Remittance Date and Margin Deficit payments related to the Transaction(s) to which such Series Seller is a party (together with such Series Seller’s share of the custodial fees and any other joint expenses allocated ratably according to the Available Income received by each of the Series Sellers) and deliver notice (which may be delivered via email) to Master Seller, on behalf of each of the Series Sellers, on the Remittance Date of the portion of such Cash Flow Deficiency payable by the respective Series Sellers. Each applicable Series Seller shall be required to pay the portion of the Cash Flow Deficiency allocable to such Series Seller (as set forth in such notice from Buyer) to Buyer, by wire transfer in immediately available funds within one (1) Business Day after such Remittance Date. If any Series Seller shall fail to pay the portion of the Cash Flow Deficiency due from such Series Seller within one (1) Business Day after such Remittance Date, such failure shall constitute a Transaction Event of Default with respect to the Transaction(s) to which each such Series Seller is a party.

-53-

(g) All Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves for any Purchased Loan must be held with the applicable Servicer in accordance with Section 28 in segregated accounts held for the benefit of Seller or otherwise subject to control agreements approved by the Buyer. In the event that no Servicer holds any such Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves for a Purchased Loan and Seller would otherwise hold the Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves directly, it shall forward such Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves to the Cash Management Account to be held and applied in accordance with the applicable Purchased Loan Documents.

6. SECURITY INTEREST

Buyer and Seller intend, for all purposes other than those described in Section 22(e), that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions hereunder or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Loan is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Loan to Buyer, Master Seller, on behalf of itself and with respect to each Series Seller, hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a lien on, and security interest in (which lien and security interest shall be of first priority), all of its right, title, and interest in the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all other amounts or obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Repurchase Obligations”) (it being understood that the grant of security interest in any items described below which are otherwise sold to Buyer pursuant to any Transaction hereunder is made to secure Buyer’s interest therein in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan):

(a) the Purchased Loans, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, insurance relating to the Purchased Loans, and collection and escrow accounts relating to the Purchased Loans;

(b) the Cash Management Account and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Cash Management Account;

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

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

For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and

-54-

priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby.

Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any appropriate jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (1) indicate the Collateral (i) as all Purchased Loans or words of similar effect, regardless of whether the description of the Purchased Loans in such financing statements includes every component set forth in the definition, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (2) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Seller is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Seller. Seller also ratifies its authorization for Buyer to have filed in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller also hereby irrevocably authorizes the Buyer and its counsel to file UCC financing statements in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, describing the collateral as “All assets of Master Seller and all assets of each series of interests now or hereafter established by Master Seller or its member, in each case, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description.

Buyer’s security interest in a Purchased Loan, or the Collateral as a whole, shall terminate only upon (i) in the case of an individual Purchased Loan, the repurchase thereof in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Collateral as a whole, the termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. Upon any such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable to evidence the release of Buyer’s lien on and security interest in the applicable Purchased Loan, or the Collateral, as applicable and to return the Purchased Documents for the applicable Purchased Loan to Seller.

7. PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Loans shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) on a servicing-released basis against the simultaneous transfer to an account of Seller or as otherwise specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction of the difference between (i) the Purchase Price for the Purchased Loan(s) minus (ii) any and all fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements payable to Buyer in connection with such Transaction (if and to the extent that Buyer requires that Seller pay such fees, costs and expenses on the Purchase Date for such Transaction). The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Loans under this Agreement; and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents.

-55-

(b) On or before such Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Bailee or the Custodian) the Custodial Delivery in the form attached hereto as Exhibit IV.

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 13(b)(i) of this Agreement:

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

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Facility Event of Default, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale on a servicing released basis in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance applicable laws, any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance applicable laws, elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

-81-

discretion and (2) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Available Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Loans). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans pursuant to this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance applicable laws, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans pursuant to this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c), and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans 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 expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all costs incurred in connection with covering transactions, and (C) any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are characterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

(vii) Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. Except as expressly required herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Buyer shall not be required, to give notice to Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

(viii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, 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.

-82-

(ix) Upon the designation of any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller. Buyer will give notice to the other party of any set off effected under this Section 13(b)(ix). If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 13(b)(ix) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 13(b)(ix) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).

(x) Seller shall within two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s written request, to execute and deliver to Buyer such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of assuring, perfecting and evidencing Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Loans, including without limitation: (i) forwarding, to Buyer or Buyer’s designee (including, if applicable, the Custodian), any payments Seller may hereafter receive on account of the Purchased Loans, in each case promptly upon receipt thereof; (ii) delivering to Buyer or such designee any originals of certificates, instruments, documents, notices or files evidencing or relating to the Purchased Loans which are in Seller’s possession or under its control; (iii) delivering to Buyer underwriting summaries, credit memos, assets summaries, status reports or similar documents relating to the Purchased Loans and in Sellers possession or under its control.

(xi) During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may complete and record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to any or all of the Purchased Loans and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Loan Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on behalf of Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or Servicer. During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request. It is acknowledged and agreed that Buyer shall not complete, record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to any Purchased Loan unless and until a Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Purchased Loan.

-83-

(c) Without limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under Section 13(b) of this Agreement or otherwise available under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity, if a Transaction 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, the Repurchase Date for the applicable Transaction shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the “Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date”).

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Section 13(c)(i) of this Agreement:

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

(B) the Repurchase Price with respect to such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date) shall include the accrued and unpaid Price Differential with respect to such Purchased Loan accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon the occurrence of a Transaction Event of Default; and

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

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Transaction Event of Default, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance applicable laws, the applicable Purchased Loan or (B) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loan, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loan in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loan against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan and any other amounts owing by Seller under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loan effected pursuant to this Section 13(c)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; (w) second, to any and all amounts due under Section 3(h), including, without limitation, costs of cover, if any; (x) third, to the Repurchase Price; and (y) fourth, to return any excess to Seller.

-84-

(iv) During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date, Buyer may complete and record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Loan Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on behalf of Custodian under the Custodial Agreement relating to such Purchased Loan. During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date, Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or Servicer relating to such Purchased Loan. During the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after any Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan as Buyer shall request. It is acknowledged and agreed that Buyer shall not complete, record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to any Purchased Loan unless and until a Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Purchased Loan.

14. LIMITATIONS ON RECOURSE AGAINST SERIES SELLERS

Buyer acknowledges that Master Seller is organized as a series limited liability company under Section 18-215 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. Notwithstanding that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been executed on behalf of Seller without reference to any particular Series Seller, Buyer agrees to treat each Transaction under this Agreement as the obligation of the particular Series Seller of Master Seller that enters into the Transaction for the related Purchased Loan(s). Provided that no Facility Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the Repurchase Obligations of any Series Seller relating to or arising from the Transaction(s) to which such Series Seller is a party shall be enforceable only against such Series Seller and with respect to the Purchased Loan(s) relating to such Transaction(s) and not against any other Series Seller or any other Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available to Buyer under Section 13(b) against Seller and any and all Purchased Loans subject to Transactions hereunder upon the occurrence and continuance of a Facility Event of Default.

15. RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREE THAT A DULY AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT.

-85-

16. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of attempted delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (d) by telecopy or email provided that such telecopy or email notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above, to the address specified in Annex I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 16. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (b) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered on a Business Day, (c) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon delivery on a Business Day, or (d) in the case of telecopy or email, upon delivery; provided that (i) such telecopy or email notice was also delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above (which may arrive after such telecopy or email), and (ii) the transmitting party did not receive an electronic notice of a transmission failure. A party receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

18. ASSIGNABILITY

(a) The rights and obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(b) Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction or may issue one or more participation interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions, without the consent of, and without prior notice to, Seller, to any other Person, and, in connection therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts owed to Buyer; provided, however, that, with respect to any such participation or assignment, so long as no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (i) unless Buyer has

-86-

assigned one hundred percent (100%) of its interests under this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to deal directly with any party other than Buyer or its Affiliate in connection with such Transactions and Buyer or an Affiliate thereof shall retain final authority to enforce remedies and provide consents, waivers or approvals (including, without limitation, approving any Eligible Loan as a Purchased Loan or any disapproval of extension of the Revolving Period) under this Agreement and to determine the Market Value for any Purchased Loan and the occurrence of a Mandatory Early Repurchase Event under this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer shall not assign or grant participations in its rights and obligations hereunder to any Prohibited Transferee without Seller’s prior written consent. In addition to the foregoing, so long as no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall not assign (but, for avoidance of doubt, may sell participation interests in) its rights and obligations in this Agreement to any Person without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such Person is an Eligible Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer may assign and/or grant participations in any and all of its rights and obligations to any Prohibited Transferee, without notice to or consent of the Seller. Seller shall reasonably cooperate at Buyer’s sole cost and expense with Buyer in connection with any assignment or participation, provided Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents are not increased and its rights under the Transaction Documents are not impaired. Seller agrees that any assignee or participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3(i) and Section 29 (subject to the limitations and requirements under Section 29 (it being understood that the applicable documentation required under Section 29(c) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)); provided that, no assignee or participant will be entitled to any greater payment of Additional Amounts under Section 3(i) or Section 29, than its assignor or participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive with respect to the applicable assigned or participated rights and obligations, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment or Additional Amounts results from a change in law that occurs after the date such assignee or participant acquired its interest in the Transaction Documents.

(c) Buyer shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller (the “Registrar”), maintain a record of ownership (the “Register”) on which is entered the name and address of all assignees of Buyer and each such assignee’s interest in the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. All assignments pursuant to Section 18 hereof shall be recorded on the Register. This provision is intended to be interpreted so that the indebtedness (for federal income tax purposes, as set forth in Section 22(e)) evidenced by the Transaction Documents is treated as being in registered form in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Buyer may, at any time, designate any other Person, including Seller, to be the successor Registrar.

(d) Each Buyer that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which is entered the name and address of each participant and such participant’s interest in the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Buyer shall

-87-

have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such rights or obligations are in registered form in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register as the owner of the related rights and obligations for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(e) Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents.

19. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

20. NO WAIVERS, ETC.

No express or implied waiver of any Default or Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default and no exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other right or remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(c) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.

21. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

(a) No plan assets within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA (“Plan Assets”) of any Plan subject to any provision of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code shall be used in connection with any Transaction. If any such assets are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in the Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed.

-88-

(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Section 21, if assets of Seller are deemed to be Plan Assets, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

(c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Section 21, if assets of Seller are deemed to be Plan Assets, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

(d) During the term of this Agreement and so long as any Transaction is in effect hereunder, the assets of the Sponsor shall not constitute Plan Assets.

22. INTENT

(a) The parties intend, agree and acknowledge that: (i) this Agreement together with all Transactions, constitutes a single agreement, (ii) this Agreement and each Transaction involving a Purchased Loan, to the extent that it has a Repurchase Date less than one year after the Purchase Date or may be repurchased on demand, qualifies for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) this Agreement and each Transaction involving a Purchased Loan qualifies for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) certain payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (v) each payment to Buyer under this Agreement has been made by, to or for the benefit of a financial institution as defined in section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code, a financial participant as defined in section 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code or repo participant as defined in section 101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code, and thus Buyer (for so long as Buyer is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Section 555, 559 or 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” a “securities contract,” and a “master netting agreement” including (x) the rights, set forth in Section 13 and in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Loans and terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Section 13 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(b)(27), 362(o) and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) the grant of a security interest set forth in Sections 6 and 28(b) hereof to secure the rights of Buyer hereunder also constitutes a “repurchase agreement” (where applicable) as contemplated by Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as contemplated by Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and are a part of this Agreement and (vii) each of the Purchased Loans shall constitute a “security” as defined in Section 101(49) of the Bankruptcy Code, a mortgage loan or an interest in a mortgage loan. It is further understood that this Agreement is intended to constitute a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, with respect to each Transaction so constituting a “repurchase agreement” (where applicable), or “securities contract”. Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

-89-

(b) The parties intend, agree and acknowledge that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Purchased Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, terminate or accelerate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with, this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

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

(e) Each party intends, agrees and acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat the Transactions as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans, and the Purchased Loans as owned by Seller for such purposes, that each Series Seller shall be disregarded as a separate entity from the Master Seller and each other Series Seller for such purposes, and each party agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment, unless required by applicable law, in which case such party shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement.

(f) In light of the intent set forth above in this Section 22, Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Buyer, Seller will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code for “repurchase agreements” (where applicable), “securities contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to request, or Buyer’s or Seller’s failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “repurchase agreements” (where applicable), “securities contracts” and/or a “master netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code.

-90-

23. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

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

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

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

24. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

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

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

-91-

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 24 shall affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

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

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

(iii) It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;

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

-92-

(b) Each determination by Buyer of the Market Value with respect to each Purchased Loan or the communication to Seller of any information pertaining to Market Value under this Agreement shall be subject to the following disclaimers; provided, however, that Buyer hereby agrees that none of the disclaimers contained in this Section 25(b) shall be construed as expanding or modifying the method by which Buyer must determine Market Value as set forth in the definition of Market Value herein:

(i) Buyer has assumed and relied upon, with Seller’s consent and without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by Seller and reviewed by Buyer. Buyer has not made any independent inquiry of any aspect of the New Collateral or Purchased Loans or the underlying collateral. Buyer’s view is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Buyer as of, the date of any such determination or communication of information, and such view may change at any time without prior notice to Seller.

(ii) Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller constitute a statement of Buyer’s view of the value of one or more loans or other assets at a particular point in time and neither (A) constitute a bid for a particular trade, (B) indicate a willingness on the part of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to make such a bid, nor (C) reflect a valuation for substantially similar assets at the same or another point in time, or for the same assets at another point in time.

(iii) Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller may vary significantly from valuation determinations and other information that may be obtained from other sources.

(iv) Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller are communicated to Seller solely for its use and may not be relied upon by any other person and may not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer may withhold or delay in its sole and absolute discretion.

(v) Buyer makes no representations or warranties with respect to any Market Value determinations or other information provided to Seller. Buyer shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of any inaccuracy in such valuation determinations and other information provided to Seller, including as a result of any act of gross negligence or breach of any warranty.

(vi) Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller in connection therewith are only indicative of the initial Market Value of the Purchased Loan submitted to Buyer for consideration hereunder, and may change without notice to Seller prior to, or subsequent to, the Purchase Date for the applicable Transaction. No indication is provided as to Buyer’s expectation of the future value of such Purchased Loan or the underlying collateral.

-93-

(vii) Initial Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller in connection therewith are to be used by Seller for the sole purpose of determining whether to proceed in accordance with Section 3 hereof and for no other purpose.

26. INDEMNITY

(a) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, actual out-of-pocket losses, actual out-of-pocket damages, actual out-of-pocket penalties, actions, judgments, suits, actual out-of-pocket fees, actual out-of-pocket costs, actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any Transactions hereunder or thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Buyer and the other Indemnified Parties harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any (A) breach of any representation or warranty relating to Environmental Law or Hazardous Materials made by Seller hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law arising prior to Buyer or any third party taking title to, or ownership of (free and clear of any repurchase or redemption rights of Seller, or obligations of Buyer with respect to such rights under this Agreement) the Purchased Assets in connection with Buyer’s exercise of remedies following the occurrence of an Event of Default or (B) any violation or alleged violation of any consumer credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, except to the extent such violation or alleged violation results from Buyer’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses or damages suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller.

-94-

under this clause (ii), to the terms and conditions of Section 27. Additionally, Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or any Transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller. Except as otherwise provided, this Section 26 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim, which shall be as set forth in Section 29.

(b) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Transaction Documents, Requirements of Law, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and each of the Indemnified Parties, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, and Sponsor hereby grants to Buyer and each of the Indemnified Parties, to secure repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), a right of set-off during the continuance of an Event of Default upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and Sponsor and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Party, for the account of Seller or Sponsor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or indebtedness of Seller or Sponsor at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Sponsor and to set–off against any Repurchase Obligations or indebtedness owed by Seller or Sponsor and any indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Sponsor, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Transaction Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Party to or for the credit of Seller or Sponsor, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Party is hereby authorized during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller or Sponsor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller and each such Affiliate to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Party by Seller or Sponsor under the Transaction Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Party shall have made any demand under the Transaction Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED LOANS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTIES UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER AND SPONSOR. Buyer shall give written notice to Seller and Sponsor of any set-off effected under this Article 15 promptly thereafter, to the extent Buyer is not prohibited from doing so by applicable law.

-95-

27. DUE DILIGENCE

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under the control of Seller, any other servicer or subservicer and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Seller acknowledges that (A) Buyer has the right to request, at Seller’s expense, one (1) new and updated Appraisal for each Mortgaged Property securing any Purchased Loan during any consecutive thirty-six (36) month period, and (B) in addition, upon any determination by Buyer that a decrease in the Market Value of the Purchased Loan has occurred, Buyer has the right to request, at Seller’s expense, an additional Appraisal for any Mortgaged Property securing the Purchased Loan, not more frequently than once in any calendar year; provided, however, that, with respect to this clause (B), Buyer shall have the right to request an additional Appraisal in the same calendar year, and, if such Appraisal results in a determination by Buyer that a decrease in the Market Value of the Purchased Loan has occurred, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the costs and expenses related to such additional Appraisal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter reasonably acceptable to Seller in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, financial models, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s activities pursuant to this Section 27 on or before the Purchase Date for any Purchased Loan or within ten (10) days after Buyer shall reject any prospective New Collateral.

28. SERVICING

(a) Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, and Buyer agree that ownership of all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans will be transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date and such ownership of Servicing Rights shall be transferred by Buyer to Master Seller or the applicable Series Seller upon the applicable Series Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans, in each case subject to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to hire or engage any Person to service or subservice all or any portion of the Purchased Loans. Buyer hereby grants to Master Seller, on behalf of itself and

-96-

each Series Seller, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the right to exercise all discretion with respect to any directions or consents to be given to the Servicer of the Purchased Loans (other than modifications of the Purchased Loans) and to appoint a servicer for each Purchased Loan subject to the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be given by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Master Seller’s and each Series Seller’s rights to exercise such discretion with respect to all of the Purchased Loans shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. Any amendment, modification or termination, or waiver of any term or provision, of any Purchased Loan or Purchased Loan Documents shall require Buyer’s prior written consent to the extent required and in accordance with Section 7(e) of this Agreement. Buyer hereby agrees that Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association, or any other third party servicer otherwise approved by Buyer in writing (a “Servicer”) may service the Purchased Loans for the benefit of Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the servicing agreement in effect for each such Servicer, provided that each such servicing agreement shall have been approved in writing by Buyer in its commercially reasonable discretion, exercised in good faith (each such servicing agreement or subservicing agreement that has been approved by Buyer (or, if applicable, Buyer’s assigns), a “Servicing Agreement” and, collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”); and provided, further, that any such Servicer shall have entered into a Servicer Notice and Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto (a “Servicer Notice and Agreement”) acknowledging Buyer’s interests in the related Purchased Loans and its rights to sell such Purchased Loans on a servicing-released basis and to terminate the term of such Servicing Rights with respect to any Purchased Loans from and after an Event of Default; provided, however, that Midland Loan Services, as the initial Servicer, and as a party to the Initial Servicing Agreement, shall not be required to enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement. Master Seller shall cause the Purchased Loans to be serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion and practiced by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to mortgage loans similar to the Purchased Loans; provided, further, that Buyer shall have the right to hire or engage any Person (whose services shall be, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Seller’s sole but reasonable cost and expense) to perform confirmatory calculations of all amounts determined by Servicer for all or any portion of the Transactions and to interface with Servicer in connection with such confirmatory calculations.

(b) Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to Seller’s rights in and to any and all Servicing Agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this Agreement. Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, grants Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s interest (if any) in servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 28 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records (if any are in Seller’s possession) and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

-97-

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to Section 13 and any terms in the applicable Servicing Agreements approved by Buyer (i) in the case of a Facility Event of Default, sell its rights to any or all of the Purchased Loans (or in the case of a Transaction Event of Default, sell its rights to the affected Purchased Loan(s)) on a servicing released basis or (ii) in the case of a Facility Event of Default, terminate any Servicer or sub-servicer of any or all of the Purchased Loans (or in the case of a Transaction Event of Default, terminate the Servicer and sub-servicer, if any, for the affected Purchased Loan(s)), with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Seller shall cause each Servicer to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such termination and transferring all authority to service such Purchased Loans to the successor servicer, including requiring such Servicer to (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating to the applicable Purchased Loans to the successor servicer in such electronic format as the successor servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the successor servicer, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, the Purchased Loan File and all other files, records, correspondence and documents in its possession relating to the applicable Purchased Loans and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with the successor servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any applicable so-called “goodbye” letter requirements or other applicable requirements of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act or other applicable legal or regulatory requirement associated with the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Loans. Seller agrees that if either Seller or any such Servicer fails to cooperate with Buyer or any successor servicer in effecting the termination of such Servicer as servicer of any Purchased Loan or the transfer of all authority to service such Purchased Loan to such successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof and the applicable Servicing Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief.

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

29. TAXES

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 29, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 29) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

-98-

(c) Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(d) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 29) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 29, 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.

(f) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 29(f)(ii)(A), Section 29(f)(ii)(B) and Section 29(f)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

-99-

(B) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(III) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to Buyer under any 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

-100-

and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification, provide such successor form, or promptly notify the Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 29 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 29), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 29 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 29(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 29(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 29(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 29(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 29 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of the Buyer, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

30. MISCELLANEOUS

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

-101-

(b) This Agreement 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. Delivery by electronic transmission (including a pdf e-mail transmission) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of such Transaction Document.

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

(d) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys, underwriters, consultants and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (i) reasonably incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents, or of the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Loans, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Management Account. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement.

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

(f) This Agreement together with the Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

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

-102-

(h) 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.

(i) Buyer and Seller hereby agree that neither party shall assert any claims against the other or against any Affiliate of the other for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages under this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any Transaction, all such damages and claims being hereby waived.

(j) All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either party hereto to any Person except (i) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or required by applicable law, including but not limited to, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena or other similar legal process, (iii) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either party hereto or an Affiliate thereof, (iv) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents, Purchased Loans or related Mortgaged Properties, (v) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (vi) to any actual or prospective third party service provider in respect of the Purchased Loans, any investor or potential investor in Sponsor, any participant or any assignee which, in each case, agrees to comply with this Section 30(j); provided, that no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Transaction Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure.

(k) From and after the date hereof, the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the liens and security interests granted under the Existing Repurchase Agreement are, in each case, continuing in full force and effect and, upon the amendment and restatement of the Existing Repurchase Agreement, such liens and security interests secure and continue to secure the payment of the Repurchase Obligations.

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

“Know All Men by These Presents, that Parlex 15 ▇▇▇▇▇, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Master Seller”), on behalf of itself and each Series Seller (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement (hereinafter defined)) (Master Seller together with each Series Seller which may hereafter be a party to the Repurchase Agreement, collectively, “Seller”) does hereby appoint Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“Buyer”), its attorney-in-fact, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to act in Seller’s name, place and stead in any way which Seller could do with respect to (i) the completion of the endorsements of the Mortgage Notes and the Assignments of Mortgages, (ii) the recordation of the Assignments of Mortgages and (iii) the enforcement of Seller’s rights under the Purchased Loans purchased by Buyer pursuant to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2016 (as amended, modified and/or restated, the “Repurchase Agreement”), between Buyer and Master Seller, and to take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Loans, the related Purchased Loan Files and the Servicing Records to the extent that Seller is permitted by law to act through an agent; provided, however, that, in the case of a Transaction Event of Default, such appointment shall be limited to actions to be taken only with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan which is the subject of such Transaction Event of Default.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

REGARDING INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOANS⁵

With respect to each Purchased Loan, Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the date herein specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Purchase Date, and in either case at all times while such Purchased Loan is subject to a Transaction, that:

1. Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Except with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a Senior Interest, each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. Each Senior Interest is a senior or pari passu portion of a whole loan evidenced by a senior or pari passu note. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation (other than with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a Participation Interest) or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to a Purchased Loan that is a Participation Interest), any other ownership interests (other than with respect to a Purchased Loan that is a Senior Interest) on, in or to such Purchased Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Loan, and, upon the completion of the assignee information therein and Buyer’s countersignature where applicable, the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Loan.

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 Loan 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 or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) those certain provisions in such Purchased Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance 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 (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-1

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

3. Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

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

5. Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the holder of the Purchased Loan against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon Seller’s or its designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Purchased Loan in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such Mortgaged Property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

Exhibit VI-2

6. Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage 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 Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (7) (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Purchase Date, to the Knowledge of Seller, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to the Knowledge of Seller and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). 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 Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Loan (or with respect to a Purchased Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; (f) if the related Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Loan (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan; and (g) if the related

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-3

Purchased Loan is part of a whole loan, the rights of the holder(s) of any related whole loan(s) pursuant to the related co-lender agreement, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to the Knowledge of Seller, any other holder of the Purchased Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

8. Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to the Knowledge of Seller, as of the Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing. Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor, other than any applicable Related Interest.

9. Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Purchased Loan File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, 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. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Loan, 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. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, 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 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Purchased Loan

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-4

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 and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

11. Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Purchased Loan and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date. To the Knowledge of Seller, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Purchase Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Loan.

12. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other 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 an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes 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 the Knowledge of Seller as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to the Knowledge of Seller as of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

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

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-5

Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Purchased Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan Documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

15. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Purchased Loan 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 Loan Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer.

16. No Holdbacks. Except for Purchased Loans identified to Buyer as having future advances and only to the extent of scheduled future advances in the related Confirmation, the principal amount of the Purchased Loan stated on the Purchased Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Loan 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).

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 Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or (iii) at least “A-” from S&P (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 Loan 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 Purchased Loan Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-6

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 Seller for comparable mortgage loans intended for securitization.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” 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 lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan 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 Seller 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 (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

The Purchased Loan 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 Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) together with any accrued interest thereon.

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-7

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Loan 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 Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to 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) 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 Loan requires 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.

19. No Encroachments. To the Knowledge of Seller based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan, 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 Loan 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 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 obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

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

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-8

21. REMIC. The representations in this paragraph 20 are made by Seller only to the extent that the related Purchased Loan has been identified to Buyer I writing as being REMIC eligible. The Purchased Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective Purchased Loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Purchased Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Loan and (B) either: (a) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Loan (or related whole loan, if applicable) was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan (or related whole loan, as applicable) on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable); or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)) of the Treasury Regulations. If the Purchased Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

22. Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Loan 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 the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Loan by the trust.

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-9

24. Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Knowledge of Seller, as of the Purchase Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee.

25. Local Law Compliance. To the Knowledge of Seller, 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 or, if applicable, 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 Loan as of the date of origination of such Purchased Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes 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 Seller 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 Loan. The terms of the Purchased Loan 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 Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Knowledge of Seller 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 or if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27. Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-10

(provided that the Mortgaged Property generates sufficient cash flow to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Purchased Loan Documents, and (b) the Purchased Loan shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.

28. Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Loan 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, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), in each case, of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), (d) 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 Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or taking by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof. To the extent that the Purchased Loan has been identified to Buyer in writing as being REMIC eligible, with respect to any partial release (including in connection with any partial Defeasance) under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Purchased Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Loan Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). To the extent that the Purchased Loan has been identified to Buyer in writing as being REMIC eligible, for purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan or whole loan, if applicable) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Loan (or Senior Interest) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions (as defined below).

To the extent that the Purchased Loan has been identified to Buyer in writing as being REMIC eligible, in the event of a condemnation or taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Purchased Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such

portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan or whole loan, if applicable) not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Purchased Loan (or Senior Interest).

No Purchased Loan, to the extent that such Purchased Loan has been identified to Buyer in writing as being REMIC eligible, that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

29. Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Loan Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) 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 Loan 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 Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Loan, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Purchased Loan, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Loan, the related Purchased Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Loan 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

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-12

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

31. Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Loan contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loan 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 Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Loan 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 Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28) and (33) herein or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Loan or future permitted mezzanine debt (and which is disclosed in writing to Buyer and approved by Buyer in its sole discretion prior to the Purchase Date of such Purchased Loan), or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Loan Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Loan 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.

32. Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Loan with a Purchase Date Principal Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Loan with a Purchase Date Principal Balance of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Loan has a Purchase Date

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-13

Principal Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Loan 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 Loans 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 Loan 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 Loan Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

33. Defeasance. With respect to any Purchased Loan that, pursuant to the Purchased Loan Documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Loan Documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Loan Documents; (ii) the Purchased Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Purchased Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date or, if the Purchased Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Purchased Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan; (iv) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (v) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the Defeasance collateral, the portion of the Purchased Loan secured by Defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (vii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

34. Floating Interest Rates. Each Purchased Loan bears interest at a floating interest rate in reference to an index rate.

Master Repurchase Agreement

Exhibit VI-14

35. Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, 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, or with respect to air rights leases, the air, 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 Loan where the Purchased Loan 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:

37. Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit VI; provided further that this representation shall not be applicable in respect of any Purchased Loan originated by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

38. No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Loan 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 date hereof, no Purchased Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments as of the Purchase Date. To the Knowledge of Seller, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Loan, 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 clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit VI (including, but not limited to, the prior sentence). No person other than the holder of such Purchased Loan may declare any event of default under the Purchased Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Loan Documents.

39. Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Loan and to the Knowledge of Seller as of the Purchase Date, no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Purchased Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Purchased Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of this paragraph (40) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.)

41. Environmental Conditions. 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 Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Loan 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, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) 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 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 lender’s 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 ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Knowledge of Seller, 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.

The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. 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 Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Loan.

43. Purchased Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Loan which is set forth in the Purchased Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date.

After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents, and, to the Knowledge of Seller, 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 Loan (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or Purchased Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

46. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
