“Benchmark Replacement”: The first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Class A Lender as of the related Benchmark Replacement Date:

(4) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

(5) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Class A Lender as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then- current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated securitizations at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that such rate and adjustments are consistent with the rate and adjustments made by the Class A Lender in its other floating rate commercial mortgage loan exposures for similarly situated counterparties, if any

provided that, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, such rate, or the underlying rates component thereof, is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate or rates from time to time as selected by Class A Lender in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Benchmark rate be less than the Benchmark Floor with respect to any Interest Accrual Period.

If a Benchmark Replacement is selected other than pursuant to clause (1) above, then on the first day of each calendar quarter following such selection, if the Class A Lender determines that a redetermination of the Benchmark Replacement by the Class A Lender on such date would result in the selection of a Benchmark Replacement under clause (1) above and the Class A Lender provides written notice of the same and the applicable Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Collateral Agent) and the Debtholders, then (x) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment shall be redetermined on such date utilizing the Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement corresponding to the Benchmark Replacement under clause (1) above and (y) such redetermined Benchmark Replacement shall become the Benchmark on each Benchmark Determination Date on or after such date (until the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to such Benchmark Replacement). If redetermination of the Benchmark Replacement on such date as described in the preceding sentence would not result in the selection of a Benchmark Replacement under clause (1), then the Benchmark shall remain the Benchmark Replacement as previously determined.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”: With respect to any Benchmark Replacement, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Class A Lender as of the related Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected, endorsed or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;

(2) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; and

(3) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Class A Lender giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated securitization transactions at such time (provided that such spread adjustment is consistent with the rate and adjustments made by the Class A Lender in its other floating rate commercial mortgage loan exposures for similarly situated counterparties, if any).

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”: With respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including, but not limited to, changes to the definition of “Interest Accrual Period,” setting an applicable Benchmark Determination Date and Reference Time, the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters, which may, for the avoidance of doubt, have a material impact on the Debt) that, the Class A Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Class A Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Class A Lender determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark exists, in such other manner as the Class A Lender determines is reasonably necessary).

“Benchmark Replacement Date”:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and

(b) the date on which the administrator of the relevant Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark;

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information; or

(3) in the case of clause (4) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the 30th Business Day following the date of such Monthly Statement;

provided, however, that on or after the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the date on which such Benchmark Replacement Date would otherwise occur (if applicable), the Class A Lender may give written notice to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Calculation Agent (if different from the Collateral Agent) in which the Class A Lender designates an earlier date (but not earlier than the 30th day following such notice) and represents that such earlier date will facilitate an orderly transition of the transaction to the Benchmark Replacement, in which case such earlier date shall be the Benchmark Replacement Date.

“Benchmark Transition Event”: The occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark;

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative; or

Any portion of the text of any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

Section 2.2. Forms of Notes and Certificate of Authentication.

(a) The form of the Class B Notes, including the Certificate of Authentication, shall be substantially as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

(b) The Notes shall be issued in definitive form, registered in the name of the legal owner thereof attached without interest coupons with the applicable legend set forth in Exhibit B hereto added to the form of such Notes (each a “Definitive Note”), which shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Note Administrator as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Note Administrator as hereinafter provided.

Section 2.3. Authorized Amount; Stated Maturity Date; Denominations.

(a) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and Credit Agreement is U.S.$76,735,729.38, except for (i) Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.5, 2.6 or 8.5 hereof or (ii) any increase in the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes pursuant to Article 12 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.3 shall prevent or restrict the Issuer from incurring the Class A Loan (including any Additional Class A Loan) pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Class B Notes shall have the following designation and initial Aggregate Outstanding Amount:

Designation		Initial Aggregate Outstanding Amount

Class B Income Notes Due 2025		U.S.$76,735,729.38

(b) The Class B Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of U.S.$960,000.00 and integral multiples of U.S.$500.00 in excess thereof (plus any residual amount).

(c) If, pursuant to Article 12, Class B Note Additional Funding Amounts are contributed to the Issuer in connection with making Future Advances on Future Advance Mortgage Assets, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes will increase by the amount of such Class B Note Additional Funding Amount and the minimum denomination amount of such Class B Notes shall proportionately increase such that the quotient of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes divided by the increased minimum denomination amount shall not exceed eighty (80).

Section 2.4. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer. The signature of such Authorized Officers on the Notes may be manual or via facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Note Administrator for authentication and the Note Administrator, upon Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as provided in this Indenture and Credit Agreement and not otherwise.

Each Note authenticated and delivered by the Note Administrator upon Issuer Order on the Closing Date shall be dated as of the Closing Date. All other Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date for any other purpose under this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be dated the date of their authentication.

Notes issued upon transfer, exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with this Article 2, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently issued Notes.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture and Credit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Note Administrator or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Class B Notes held by the Notes Investor shall be held as a Definitive Note.

Section 2.5. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Notes Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Notes. The Note Administrator is hereby initially appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of maintaining the Note Registrar and registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of such Notes with respect to the Notes Register kept in the United States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

The name and address of each Noteholder and the principal amounts and stated interest of each such Noteholder in its Notes shall be recorded by the Notes Registrar in the Notes Register. If a Person other than the Note Administrator is appointed by the Issuer as Notes Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Note Administrator prompt written notice of the appointment of a successor Notes Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Notes Register, and the Note Administrator shall have the right to inspect the Notes Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof and the Note Administrator shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Notes Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and numbers of such Notes. In addition, the Note Registrar shall be required, within one Business Day of each Record Date, to provide the Note Administrator with a copy of the Note Registrar in the format required by, and with all accompanying information regarding the Noteholders as may reasonably be required by the Note Administrator.

Subject to this Section 2.5, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2. Whenever any Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued and authenticated upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Notes Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Neither of the Notes Registrar or the Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption.

(b) The Retained Securities shall continue to be held by Notes Investor at all times and no Note or any other equity interest in the Issuer may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction;

(ii) so long as the Class A Loan is Outstanding, the Class A Lender consents (in its sole and absolute discretion) to such transfer, pledge or hypothecation;

(iii) an equivalent portion of the limited liability company interests of the Issuer are transferred, pledged or hypothecated to such Person; and

(iv) so long as the Class A Loan is Outstanding, the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion (except that a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion shall not be required to the extent that such sale or transfer is to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by Notes Investor and is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes or, if the Notes Investor is itself a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent that such sale or transfer is to the Person (or an entity disregarded from such Person) treated as owning the assets of Notes Investor for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

(c) Each transferee of Definitive Notes or any other equity interest in the Issuer shall make the representations and agreements set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit C hereto.

(d) Any purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Sections 2.5(a) and 2.5(b) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for any purpose hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture and Credit Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee, the Note Administrator nor the Note Registrar (nor any other Transfer Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act or Rule 144A), the 1940 Act, ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or any applicable regulations thereunder).

(f) Each Holder of Notes approves and consents to any transaction between the Issuer and the Guarantor or its Affiliates that is permitted under the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(g) Each Holder of a Note is not and will not be for term of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title I of ERISA, a “plan” (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, a “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or any other employee benefit plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or any entity whose underlying assets are deemed to include “plan assets” by reason of such an employee benefit plan’s or other plan’s investment in the entity or otherwise.

(h) Each prospective purchaser, any subsequent transferee, and each Holder of Debt or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Debt or interest therein, acknowledges, agrees and consents to Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, serving as the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association also serving as Collateral Agent, Loan Agent, Note Administrator, Custodian, Calculation Agent, Paying Agent and Securities Intermediary. By purchasing or acquiring any Debt, each Debtholder will be deemed to have acknowledged the existence of any actual or potential conflicts of interest inherent to this transaction as a result of the services provided by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association as described above, and to have waived any claim with respect to any liability arising from the existence thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Indenture and Credit Agreement Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such Accounts) will be owned by Notes Investor (or, if the Notes Investor is itself a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as owning the assets of the Notes Investor for U.S. federal income tax purposes), or if the Issuer is wholly- owned by a subsequent REIT, by such sole owner, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (i) to reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (ii) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture and Credit Agreement Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability to Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture and Credit Agreement Accounts pursuant to applicable law arising from the Issuer’s failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be invested with respect to such Indenture and Credit Agreement Accounts absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note.

If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each a “Specified Person”) evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If, after delivery of such new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note, any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom, and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.

In case any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture and Credit Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.7. Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) The Class B Notes shall not have a stated interest rate and shall be entitled to receive distributions of Interest Proceeds, Default Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds on each Payment Date only to the extent that funds are available to make such distributions on such Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(b) The principal of the Class B Notes matures and is due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of the Class B Notes may only occur pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on any Note is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of the principal due and payable on the Class A Loan and certain other amounts, each case to the extent set forth in the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal on the Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment Date because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered “due and payable” for purposes of Section 5.1(b) until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

(c) As a condition to the payment of any amounts in respect of any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it from the Notes Investor or any other applicable Holder to enable the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such security under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms, such as IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or any successor to such IRS form. In addition, each of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of Notes agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) and to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

(d) Payments in respect of the Notes shall be payable (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying Agent on or before the related Record Date or (y) if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(d) hereof, Holders of Notes as of the Record Date in respect of a Payment Date shall be entitled to amounts payable in respect of such Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).

(f) All amounts payable on or in respect of any Note which are payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

(g) Payments of principal to Holders of the Notes shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Notes on such Record Date.

(h) All reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture and Credit Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer under the Debt, this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral and application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Indenture and Credit Agreement, all obligations of the Issuer and any claims of the Noteholders, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner or incorporator of the Issuer or any of its successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the Notes or this Indenture and Credit Agreement. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or (ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this Indenture and Credit Agreement (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized and the proceeds thereof applied in accordance with this Indenture and Credit Agreement, whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture and Credit Agreement, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity. The Notes are not secured hereunder.

(j) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by such other Note.

(k) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal on the Notes (but subject to Sections 2.7(e) and (h)), if the Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments of principal on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.

Section 2.8. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Note Administrator, the Servicer and any of their respective agents may treat as the owner of a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Note Administrator, the Servicer or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.9. Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, upon delivery to the Note Registrar, be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture and Credit Agreement. All canceled Notes held by the Note Registrar shall be destroyed or held by the Note Registrar in accordance with its standard retention policy.

Section 2.10. Transfers of Definitive Notes; Temporary Notes.

(a) If a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Note for one or more Definitive Notes or transfer such Definitive Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.5 and this Section 2.10, such Holder may effect such exchange or transfer upon receipt by the Note Registrar of (i) a Holder’s Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and (ii) duly completed certificates in the form of Exhibit C, upon receipt of which the Note Registrar shall then cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuer, the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Note endorsed for transfer, registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (i) above, in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note surrendered by the transferor).

(b) Pending the preparation of Definitive Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Issuer may execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Definitive Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Definitive Notes.

If temporary Definitive Notes are issued, the Issuer shall cause permanent Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof, or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as determined by the Officers executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary Definitive Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Note Administrator shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture and Credit Agreement as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11. U.S. Tax Treatment of Debt and the Issuer.

(a) The Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Class A Loan (unless held by Notes Investor, an entity disregarded into Notes Investor or, if the Notes Investor is itself a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Person (or an entity disregarded from such Person) treated as owning the assets of Notes Investor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or any member of any “expanded group” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(4)) that includes the Issuer or Notes Investor or any “controlled partnership” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.385-1(c)(1)) of such expanded group) be treated as debt, (ii) the Notes be treated as equity, (iii) 100% of the Retained Securities be beneficially owned by Notes Investor or, if Notes Investor is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as owning the assets of Notes Investor for U.S. federal income tax purposes (in each case, directly or indirectly through entities disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes), (iv) the Retained Securities and the limited liability company interests of the Issuer be treated as a single equity interest in the Issuer, and (v) the Issuer be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other disregarded entity of a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes (unless, in the case of this clause (v), the Issuer has received a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion). Each prospective purchaser, and any subsequent transferee of the Debt or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Debt or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat the Debt in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(b) The Issuer shall account for the Debt and prepare any reports to Holders of Debt and tax authorities consistent with the intentions expressed in Section 2.11(a) above to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c) Each Class A Lender shall timely furnish to the Issuer or its agents any U.S. federal income tax form or certification, such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for the United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)) IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms that the Issuer or its agents may reasonably request (together with any required attachments) and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments or upon such forms or certifications becoming obsolete, inaccurate or incomplete in any respect. Furthermore, each Noteholder shall timely furnish any information required pursuant to Section 2.7(c).

(d) Each prospective purchaser, any subsequent transferee, and each Holder of Debt or any interest therein shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Debt or interest therein, be deemed to agree (i) to provide accurate information and documentation that may be required for the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent to comply with FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations, under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment and (ii) that the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent may (1) provide such information and documentation and any other information concerning its investment in such Debt to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and any other relevant tax authority and (2) take any other actions necessary for the Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Paying Agent to comply with FATCA.

(e) The Notes Investor, by acceptance of the Retained Securities, agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment and, for so long as any Debt is Outstanding, agrees not to sell, transfer, convey, set over, pledge or encumber any Retained Securities, except to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 2.5(b).

Section 2.12. Authenticating Agents.

Upon the request of the Issuer, the Note Administrator shall, and if the Note Administrator so chooses the Note Administrator may, pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 8.5 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.

Any corporation or banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee and the Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.

The Note Administrator agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 6.7 hereof. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.13. Forced Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a Person who is determined not to have been both (1) a QIB or an IAI and (2) a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein shall be null and void and any such proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.

(b) If the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a) above (any such Person a “Non-Permitted Holder”), then the Issuer shall promptly after discovery that such Person is a Non-Permitted Holder by the Issuer or an Authorized Officer of the Paying Agent (and notice by the Paying Agent to the Issuer, if it makes the discovery), send notice (or cause notice to be sent) to such Non-Permitted Holder demanding that such Non-Permitted Holder transfer its interest to a Person that is not a Non-Permitted Holder within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice. If such Non-Permitted Holder fails to so transfer its Note or interest therein, the Issuer shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party acting on behalf of the Issuer, may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However, the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale of exercise of such discretion.

Section 2.14. No Gross Up of the Debt.

The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to the Holders or beneficial owners of the Debt as a result of any withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges.

Section 2.15. Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a) After a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, such Benchmark and the related Benchmark Replacement Date for such Benchmark shall be replaced with the applicable Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Determination Date, as determined by the Class A Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, and the Class A Lender shall provide prompt written notice of such determinations to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Collateral Agent) and the Debtholders in advance of such Benchmark Replacement Date. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, amounts payable on the Debt shall be determined with respect to the then-current Benchmark (which may be LIBOR as determined in accordance with methods specified in this Indenture) until the occurrence of the related Benchmark Replacement Date.

(b) If the Benchmark Replacement is any benchmark other than Term SOFR and the Class A Lender later determines that Term SOFR is able to be implemented, the Class A Lender shall provide written notice of such determination and any applicable Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes for Term SOFR to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Calculation Agent (if different from the Collateral Agent) and the Debtholders, and upon receipt of such written notice, Term SOFR shall become the new Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement and shall, together with a new Benchmark Replacement Adjustment for Term SOFR, replace the then-current Benchmark on the next Benchmark Determination Date for Term SOFR.

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event (or notice of the redetermination of the Benchmark Replacement to Term SOFR in accordance with clause (b) above) and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, the Class A Lender shall direct the parties hereto to enter into a supplemental indenture and credit agreement to make such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, as Class A Lender determines may be necessary or desirable to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement. From time to time, the Class A Lender may require the parties hereto to enter into a supplemental indenture and credit agreement to make such additional Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, if any, as the Class A Lender determines may be necessary or desirable to administer, implement or adopt the applicable Benchmark or the Benchmark Replacement and related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

(d) Any determination, implementation, adoption, decision, proposal or election that may be made by the Class A Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, may be made in the sole discretion of the Class A Lender and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and the Debtholders absent manifest error, and may be relied upon by the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Calculation Agent without investigation, except as expressly provided otherwise in the Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Class A Lender may send any notices with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.15, by email (or other electronic communication).

(g) The Class A Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility (other than as set forth herein) for the determination or selection with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement Date, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or any other determination or selection made under this Section 2.15 (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for the such determination or selection have been satisfied).

Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(g) or 5.1(h) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without any further action. If the Debt is accelerated, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) hereof.

(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Debt has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Collateral Agent as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class, other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e), 5.1(g), 5.1(h), or 5.1(j), by written notice to the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Collateral Agent a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all unpaid installments of interest on and principal of the Debt that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving rise to such acceleration had not occurred;

(B) all unpaid taxes of the Issuer, Issuer Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due and payable to the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator or the Trustee hereunder; and

(ii) the Collateral Agent has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest on and principal of the Debt that have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the Collateral Agent, has agreed with such notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.

At any such time that the Collateral Agent, subject to Section 5.2(b) above, shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove, the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that gave rise to such declaration; provided that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.5, the Debt may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) Subject to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent in the conduct of any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture and Credit Agreement; (ii) the Collateral Agent may take any other action not inconsistent with such direction; (iii) the Collateral Agent determines that such action will not involve it in liability (unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any such liability); and (iv) any direction to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Sections 5.4, 5.5 and 5.17. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refuse to take any action absent such direction.

The Collateral Agent’s lien shall be subject to the Priority of Payments and exercisable by the Collateral Agent only if the Debt has been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.

(e) A Majority of the Controlling Class may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment of amounts due has been obtained by the Collateral Agent, waive any past Default on behalf of the Holders of all of the Debt and its consequences in accordance with Section 5.14.

Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Collateral Agent.

(a) The Issuer covenants that if a Default shall occur in respect of the payment of any interest and principal on the Class A Loan (but only after any amounts payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a) having a higher priority have been paid in full), the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class) or any affected Debtholder, pay to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holder of such Debt, the whole amount, if any, then due and payable on such Debt for principal and interest or other payment with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that payments of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the applicable interest rate and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and such Debtholder and their respective agents and counsel.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties and at the direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, and at the expense of the Issuer, shall institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent, upon written direction of the Majority of the Controlling Class, shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Debtholders by such Proceedings as directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class. Such Proceedings shall be used for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture and Credit Agreement or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Collateral Agent by this Indenture and Credit Agreement or by law. Any direction to the Collateral Agent to undertake a sale of Mortgage Assets shall be forwarded to, the Servicer and if the Class A Loan is outstanding, the Class A Lenders (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lenders, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) shall conduct any such sale in accordance with this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

In the case where (x) there shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property, or (z) there shall be any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the creditors or property of the Issuer, regardless of whether the principal of any Debt shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration, or otherwise and regardless of whether the Collateral Agent shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.3, the Collateral Agent shall (at the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class) be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent or Trustee and each predecessor Collateral Agent or Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee and each predecessor Collateral Agent or Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Debtholders allowed in any Proceedings relative to the Issuer or to the creditors or property of the Issuer;

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Debtholders upon the direction of Majority of the Controlling Class (or in the case of the Notes, the Trustee, who shall direct the Collateral Agent pursuant to direction it receives from the Controlling Class) in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or of a Person performing similar functions in comparable Proceedings; and

(iii) to collect and receive (or cause the Note Administrator and/or the Loan Agent to collect and receive) any amounts or other property payable to or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute (or cause the Note Administrator and/or the Loan Agent to distribute) all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Debtholders and of the Collateral Agent on their behalf; the Secured Parties, and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Debtholders to make payments to the Collateral Agent (or the Note Administrator and/or Loan Agent on its behalf), and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Debtholders, to pay to the Collateral Agent such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, each predecessor Collateral Agent or Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee and each predecessor Collateral Agent or Trustee.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Collateral Agent to authorize, consent to, vote for, accept or adopt, on behalf of any Debtholder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Debtholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or under any of the Debt, may be enforced by the Collateral Agent without the possession of any of the Debt or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings instituted by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own name as agent for the Secured Parties, and any recovery of judgment, shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent nor a Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) may sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.3 unless the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability or responsibility for or in connection with any such sale conducted by Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) in the manner directed by the Majority of the Controlling Class.

In the event that any of the Collateral Agent, Trustee, Note Administrator or Loan Agent is requested to institute Proceedings, bring suit, or enforce remedies on behalf of the Secured Parties against the Servicer and is not required to do so pursuant to the foregoing proviso, such party shall resign from all responsibilities hereunder pursuant to Section 6.9, 16.17 or 16.18, as applicable.

The Issuer shall, at the Issuer’s expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal of and interest on the Debt and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility or sufficiency.

(b) If an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(f) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class (or direction from the Trustee with respect to any Notes constituting the Controlling Class, which direction may be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent and shall be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent to the extent that the Trustee receives direction from the Majority of the Controlling Class) shall institute a Proceeding solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.

(c) Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Debtholder, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such Sale may, in paying the purchase money, turn in any of the Debt in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Debt so turned in by such Holder (taking into account the Class of such Debt). Such Debt, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall either be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon to show partial payment or a new note shall be delivered to the Holders reflecting the reduced interest thereon.

Upon any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for its or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.

Any such Sale, whether under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall (x) bind the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator and the Debtholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever, either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold and (y) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document, none of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party, any other party to any Transaction Document, or the Debtholders or any third-party beneficiary of this Indenture and Credit Agreement may, prior to the date which is one year and one day, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect after the payment in full of all Debt, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall preclude, or be deemed to stop the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator, or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation proceeding.

Section 5.5. Preservation of Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Class A Loan is Outstanding, the Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture and Credit Agreement) retain the Collateral securing the Debt intact, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral and the Debt in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:

(i) (A) the Collateral Agent, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral (after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full (1) the amounts then due and unpaid on the Debt for principal and interest, and (2) upon receipt of information from Persons to whom fees and expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal of the Debt due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) or due and payable to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in respect of which funds have not been withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any liquidation and other fees and other compensation payable under the related Servicing Agreement, and (B) the Majority of the Controlling Class agrees with such determination; or

(ii) the Majority of the Controlling Class direct the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of the Collateral.

In the event of a sale of all or a portion of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Collateral Agent shall sell those Collateral identified by the Majority of the Controlling Class pursuant to a written direction in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator or Loan Agent for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii). The Collateral Agent shall give written notice of the retention of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Servicer. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.

(b) Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral securing the Class A Loan if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to preserve the Collateral securing the Class A Loan if prohibited by applicable law.

(c) In assisting the Collateral Agent to determine whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Class A Lender shall obtain bid prices with respect to each Mortgage Asset from two (2) dealers that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Assets (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Class A Lender shall obtain a bid price from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Class A Lender shall compute the anticipated proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Mortgage Asset and provide the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Loan Agent and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any Mortgage Asset and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Class A Lender may, but need not, retain at the expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as an Issuer Administrative Expense).

The Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to the Debtholders and the Servicer, and the Collateral Agent shall post to the Collateral Agent’s Website, a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).

Section 5.6. Collateral Agent May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture and Credit Agreement or under any of the Debt may be prosecuted and enforced by the Collateral Agent without the possession of any of the Debt or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Collateral Agent shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment in respect of the Debt shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7 hereof.

In any Proceedings brought by the Collateral Agent (and in any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party) in respect of the Debt, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to represent all the Holders of the Debt.

Section 5.7. Application of Amounts Collected.

Any amounts collected by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Debt pursuant to this Article 5 and any amounts that may then be held or thereafter received by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Debt hereunder shall be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii) hereof, at the date or dates fixed by the Collateral Agent.

Section 5.8. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Debt shall have any right to institute any Proceedings (the right of a Debtholder to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Debt is subject to any non-petition covenants set forth in the Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Debt), judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Debt, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Collateral Agent written notice of an Event of Default;

(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall have made written request to the Collateral Agent to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Collateral Agent hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Collateral Agent indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(c) the Collateral Agent for thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding; and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Collateral Agent during such thirty (30) day period by a Majority of the Controlling Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Debt shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Debt to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of the Debt of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Debt of the same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Debt, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Debt of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof and the Priority of Payments.

In the event the Collateral Agent shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action until it shall have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.

Section 5.9. Unconditional Rights of Class A Lender to Receive Principal and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and Credit Agreement (except for Section 2.7(i)), the Class A Lender shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest on the Class A Loan as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of the Class A Lender; provided that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).

Section 5.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Collateral Agent or any Holder of Debt has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder of Debt, then (and in every such case) the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of Debt shall, subject to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Holders of Debt shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Loan Agent or to the Holders of Debt is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or of any Debtholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Collateral Agent, or to the Debtholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Collateral Agent, or by the Holders of Debt, as the case may be.

Section 5.13. Control by the Controlling Class.

Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Debt is Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling Class (or the Loan Agent on behalf of and at the direction of the Class A Lender, or the Trustee with respect to any Notes constituting the Controlling Class, which direction may be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent and shall be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent to the extent that the Trustee receives direction from a Majority of the Controlling Class) shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Collateral Agent in respect of the Debt; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and Credit Agreement;

(b) the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability (unless the Collateral Agent has received indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability as set forth below);

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, any direction to the Collateral Agent to undertake a Sale of the Mortgage Assets shall be performed by the Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) on behalf of the Collateral Agent at the time and in the manner directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.

Section 5.14. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Collateral Agent, as provided in this Article 5, a Majority of the Controlling Class may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt, waive any past Default in respect of the Debt and its consequences, except a Default:

(a) in the payment of principal of or interest on any Debt without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby; or

(b) in respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, without the Collateral Agent’s, the Loan Agent’s, the Trustee’s or the Note Administrator’s express written consent thereto, as applicable.

In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Any such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of each Class of Debt.

Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture and Credit Agreement agree, and each Holder of any Debt by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or in any suit against the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as Collateral Agent, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (x) the Collateral Agent, (y) any Debtholder, or group of Debtholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class or (z) any Debtholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debt or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date).

Section 5.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture and Credit Agreement; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.17. Sale of Collateral.

(a) The power to effect any sale (a “Sale”) of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) upon notice to Collateral Agent, may and upon the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class from time to time, shall postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days after the date of the determination by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof, such Sale shall not occur unless and until the Collateral Agent has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof. The Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee or the Note Administrator in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.

(b) The Debt need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against amounts owing on the Debt.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Mortgage Assets, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments by the Majority of the Controlling Class. In addition, the Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party), with respect to Mortgage Assets, and the Collateral Agent, with respect to any other Collateral, is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Collateral Agent’s or the Class A Lender’s (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) authority, to inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.

(d) In the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Debt had been accelerated.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Collateral Agent of any Mortgage Assets in the case of a sale in connection with a Tax Redemption shall be executed by the Collateral Agent in the manner specified in the applicable Issuer Order.

Section 5.18. Action on the Notes.

The Collateral Agent’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Debt or under this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall not be affected by the application for or obtaining of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture and Credit Agreement. Neither the lien of this Indenture and Credit Agreement nor any rights or remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Holders of the Debt shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Collateral Agent against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any of the Collateral of the Issuer.

ARTICLE 6

THE TRUSTEE, NOTE ADMINISTRATOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and Credit Agreement against the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and any permissive right of the Trustee or the Note Administrator contained herein shall not be construed as a duty; and

(ii) in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, each of the Note Administrator and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Trustee or the Note Administrator within fifteen (15) days after such notice from the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.

(b) In case an Event of Default actually known to a Bank Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall on behalf of the Debtholders, prior to the receipt of directions from a Majority of the Controlling Class to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and Credit Agreement including providing direction to the Collateral Agent on behalf of Debtholders, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(c) If, in performing its duties under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from the Majority of the Controlling Class as to courses of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator do not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants, in each case selected in good faith and, with reasonable care, in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in reliance thereon, in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

(d) No provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Note Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable:

(i) for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Bank Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(ii) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(e) No provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, except where this Indenture and Credit Agreement provides otherwise.

(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable to the Debtholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee) and/or a Debtholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(g) For all purposes under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or Mortgage Asset Default, unless a Bank Officer of either the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Defaulted Mortgage Asset Cure Date, Defaulted Mortgage Asset Default Period, Defaulted Mortgage Asset Repurchase Period, Event of Default, Mortgage Asset Default or Class A Loan Principal Trigger Event is received by the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and Credit Agreement. For purposes of determining the Trustee’s and Note Administrator’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture and Credit Agreement to such an Event of Default or Mortgage Asset Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.1. The availability or delivery (including pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement) of reports or other documents (including news or other publicly available reports or documents) to the Note Administrator and Trustee shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of information contained in or determinable from those reports or documents, except for such reports or documents that this Indenture or Credit Agreement expressly requires the Note Administrator or Trustee to review.

(h) The Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer and its designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Trustee relating to the Notes and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

Section 6.2. [Reserved].

Section 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee and Note Administrator.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1:

(a) the Trustee and the Note Administrator may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(d) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may consult with counsel (including with respect to any matters, other than factual matters, in connection with the execution by the Trustee or the Note Administrator of a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.2), in each case selected in good faith and with reasonable care and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in reliance thereon, in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion;

(e) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture and Credit Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Debtholders pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Debtholders unless such Debtholders shall have offered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable indemnity acceptable to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper documents and shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereon;

(g) each of the Trustee and the Note Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any attorney or agent appointed by it with reasonable care, provided that the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, will provide notice of any such appointment to the Debtholders; provided that upon any such appointment of an agent or attorney, such agent or attorney shall be conferred with all the same rights, indemnities, and immunities as the Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable;

(h) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably and prudently believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder;

(i) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of any Transfer Agent (other than the Note Administrator itself acting in that capacity), any Calculation Agent (other than the Note Administrator itself acting in that capacity) or any Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator itself acting in that capacity);

(j) neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for the actions or omissions of the Issuer, the Class A Lender, the Custodian, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Servicer, the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), or the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee); and without limiting the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be under any obligation to verify compliance by any party hereto with the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement (other than itself) to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by it from the Servicer (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Mortgage Assets;

This provision shall survive termination of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or Note Administrator.

(d) The Trustee and Note Administrator agree that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Sections 6.7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv), shall be subject to the Priority of Payments, shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in accordance with such Priority of Payments, shall be payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, any such claims of the Trustee or Note Administrator against the Issuer, and all obligations of the Issuer, shall be extinguished.

The Issuer shall determine whether the contemplated action in such notice constitutes a Major Modification. In the event the contemplated action does not constitute a Major Modification, the Issuer may take such action without the consent of the Class A Lender.

Section 6.17. The Collateral Agent.

(a) General. Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Debt hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Debt hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 6.17 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Holders nor shall the Issuer have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Securities Account Control Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and Credit Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture and Credit Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in this Indenture and Credit Agreement and (iii) perform and observe its obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the Securities Account Control Agreement.

The Collateral Agent is each Secured Party’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Secured Party’s security interest in Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC (or other personal property security legislation), can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than the Certificate of Authentication thereon, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Collateral Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Collateral or the Debt other than with respect to the validity and sufficiency of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.17(b) herein. The Collateral Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Debt or the proceeds thereof or any amounts paid to the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof.

(b) Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Collateral Agent. At all times:

(i) the Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture and Credit Agreement against the Collateral Agent;

(ii) in the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement; provided that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within fifteen days after such notice from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall so notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof; and

(iii) in the case that an Event of Default actually known to the Collateral Agent has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions only upon receipt of direction from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or direction from the Loan Agent on behalf of and at the direction of the Class A Lender as the Controlling Class, or direction from the Trustee with respect to a Majority of the Controlling Class, which direction may be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent and shall be given by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent to the extent that the Trustee receives direction from a Majority of the Controlling Class) (or other Debtholders to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof).

If, in performing its duties under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent is required to decide between alternative courses of action, the Collateral Agent may request written instructions from the Majority of the Controlling Class as to courses of action desired by it. If the Collateral Agent does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants, in each case selected in good faith and, with reasonable care, in performing its duties hereunder and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in reliance thereon, in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion.

(iv) No provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that the Collateral Agent shall not be liable:

(1) for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Bank Officer, unless it shall be proven that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; or

(2) with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Collateral Agent, under this Indenture and Credit Agreement;

No provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, except where this Indenture and Credit Agreement provides otherwise.

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable to the Debtholders for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Loan Agent and/or a Debtholder under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

For all purposes under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or Mortgage Asset Default unless a Bank Officer of the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default or Mortgage Asset Default is received by the Collateral Agent at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Debt generally or this Indenture and Credit Agreement. For purposes of determining the Collateral Agent’s responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture and Credit Agreement to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event of Default or Default of which the Collateral Agent is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 6.17. The availability or delivery (including pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement) of reports or other documents (including news or other publicly available reports or documents) to the Collateral Agent shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of in-formation contained in or determinable from those reports or documents, except for such reports or documents that this Indenture or Credit Agreement expressly requires the Collateral Agent to review.

(v) The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of reasonable prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, permit the Issuer and its designees, during its normal business hours, to review all books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Collateral Agent (other than items protected by attorney client privilege) relating to the Debt and to make copies and extracts therefrom (the reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in making any such copies or extracts to be reimbursed to the Collateral Agent by such Person).

(i) the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(ii) any request or direction of the Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order, as the case may be;

(iii) whenever in the administration of this Indenture and Credit Agreement the Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Collateral Agent (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(iv) as a condition to the taking or omitting of any action by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel (including with respect to any matters, other than factual matters, in connection with the execution by the Collateral Agent of a supplemental indenture and credit agreement pursuant to Section 8.3) selected in good faith and with reasonable care and shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in reliance thereon, in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion issued by such counsel in connection therewith;

(v) the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise or to honor any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture and Credit Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might reasonably be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(vi) the Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, note or other paper or document;

(vii) the Collateral Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any attorney or agent appointed by it with reasonable care, provided that the Collateral Agent will provide notice of any such appointment to the Debtholders, and upon any such appointment of an agent or attorney, such agent or attorney shall be conferred with all the same rights, indemnities, and immunities as the Collateral Agent;

(viii) the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it reasonably and prudentially believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers hereunder;

(ix) the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the accuracy of the books or records of, or for any acts or omissions of any Transfer Agent (other than the Collateral Agent itself acting in that capacity), any Calculation Agent (other than the Collateral Agent itself acting in that capacity) or any Paying Agent (other than the Collateral Agent itself acting in that capacity);

(x) the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Issuer, the Class A Lender, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to verify or independently determine the accuracy information received by it from the Servicer (or from any selling institution, agent bank, trustee or similar source) with respect to the Mortgage Assets;

(xi) to the extent any defined term hereunder, or any calculation required to be made or determined by the Collateral Agent hereunder, is dependent upon or defined by reference to GAAP, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and receive (and rely upon) instruction from the Issuer or the accountants appointed pursuant to Section 6.17(c)(vii) as to the application of GAAP in such connection, in any instance;

(xii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility to the Issuer or the Secured Parties hereunder to make any inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation in respect of, the terms of any engagement of Independent accountants by the Issuer;

(xiv) in determining any affiliations of Debtholders with any party hereto or otherwise, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and conclusively rely on a certification provided by a Debtholder;

(xv) in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

(xvi) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts created hereby or the powers granted hereunder;

(xvii) in no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like which restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture and Credit Agreement, inability to obtain material, equipment, or communications or computer facilities, or the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, any act or provision of any present or future governmental authority, labor disputes, disease, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, national emergency, loss or malfunction of utilities or computer software or hardware, the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility and other causes beyond the Collateral Agent’s control, as applicable, whether or not of the same Class or kind as specifically named above;

(xviii) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association, acting in any particular capacity hereunder will not be deemed to be imputed with knowledge of (i) ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association acting in a capacity that is unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association acting in any other capacity hereunder, except, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii), where some or all of the obligations performed in such capacities are performed by one or more employees within the same Corporate Trust Office of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association or where the Corporate Trust Office responsible for performing the obligations in such capacities have one or more of the same Bank Officers;

(xx) nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to act in any manner that is contrary to applicable law.

(d) Notice of Default. Promptly (and in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the occurrence of any Default actually known to a Bank Officer of the Collateral Agent or after any declaration of acceleration has been made or delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.2, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to all Debtholders as their names and addresses appears on the Notes Register or the Class A Loan Register, as applicable, and the Servicer notice of such Default, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived.

(e) Compensation and Reimbursement of Collateral Agent. The Issuer agrees, in each case without duplication of any expense reimbursements, indemnification payments or other payments made to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association in its capacity as Loan Agent, pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement:

(i) to pay to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, Trustee, Loan Agent and Note Administrator Fee as provided in Section 11.1(a):

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Collateral Agent in a timely manner upon its request for all reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of third-party attorneys, advisers, accountants and experts employed hereunder), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Servicing Agreement;

(iii) to indemnify the Collateral Agent and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder and under the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Servicing Agreement or the enforcement of this Section and whether such loss, liability or expense arises from a claim by a Debtholder, the Issuer or any other Person; and

(iv) to pay the Collateral Agent reasonable additional compensation together with its expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) for any collection or enforcement action taken pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof.

The Collateral Agent may remit payment for such fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Custodian and the Note Administrator or, in the absence thereof, the Collateral Agent may from time to time deduct payment of its or the Custodian’s, the Trustee’s, the Loan Agent’s or Note Administrator’s fees and expenses hereunder from amounts on deposit in the Payment Account in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The Collateral Agent, hereby agrees not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary until at least one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of all Debt issued under this Indenture and Credit Agreement. This provision shall survive termination of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent agrees that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Sections 6.7(a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (a)(iv), shall be subject to the Priority of Payments, shall be payable only to the extent funds are available in accordance with such Priority of Payments, shall be payable solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, any such claims of the Collateral Agent against the Issuer, and all obligations of the Issuer, shall be extinguished. The Collateral Agent will have a lien upon the Collateral to secure the payment of such payments to it in accordance with the Priority of Payments; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not institute any proceeding for enforcement of such lien except in connection with an action taken pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof for enforcement of the lien of this Indenture and Credit Agreement for the benefit of the Debtholders.

The Collateral Agent shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.17(e) only to the extent such payment is made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the failure to pay such amount to the Collateral Agent will not, by itself, constitute and Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.17(h) the Collateral Agent shall continue to serve as Collateral Agent under this Indenture and Credit Agreement notwithstanding the fact that the Collateral Agent shall not have received amounts due it hereunder; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to expend any funds or incur any expenses unless reimbursement therefor is reasonably assured to it. No direction by the Holders of the Debt shall affect the right of the Collateral Agent to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

If on any Payment Date, an amount payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement is not paid because there are insufficient funds available for the payment thereof, all or any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on any later Payment Date on which sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(f) Withholding. Each Holder of a Class A Loan, by the purchase of an interest in such Class A Loan or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Class A Loan will be treated as United States source interest and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. If any amount is required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any Debtholder or payee, such amount shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Debtholder or payee. The Collateral Agent, Issuer, Note Administrator and Loan Agent, as applicable, are hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts otherwise distributable to any Debtholder or payee sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Collateral Agent, Issuer, Note Administrator and Loan Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to any Debtholder or payee shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Debtholder or payee at the time it is withheld by the Collateral Agent, Issuer, Note Administrator or Loan Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Collateral Agent, Issuer, Note Administrator or Loan Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.17(f). The Issuer agrees to timely provide to the Collateral Agent, Note Administrator and Loan Agent accurate and complete copies of all documentation received from Debtholders or payees pursuant to Sections 2.7(f) and 2.11(c). Solely with respect to FATCA compliance and reporting, nothing herein shall impose an obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent, Issuer, Note Administrator and Loan Agent to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect of the Debt. In addition, initial purchasers and transferees of Debt after the Closing Date will be required to provide to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent or their agents, all information, documentation or certifications reasonably required to permit the Issuer to comply with its tax reporting obligations under applicable law, including any applicable cost basis reporting obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator or the Loan Agent will have any responsibility for the preparation of any tax returns or related reports on behalf of or for the benefit of the Issuer or any Debtholder, or the calculation of any original issue discount on the Debt. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer, at Issuer’s direction and expense, to permit Issuer to fulfill its obligations under FATCA; provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no independent obligation to cause or maintain Issuer’s compliance with FATCA and shall have no liability for any withholding on payments to Issuer as a result of Issuer’s failure to achieve or maintain FATCA compliance.

(g) Corporate Collateral Agent Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Collateral Agent hereunder which shall be (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$200,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or State authority, or (ii) an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, that in the case of (i) or (ii), has a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇; provided, that with respect to the Trustee, it may maintain a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “Baa1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “P-2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ so long as the Servicer maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A2” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (the Servicer shall have no obligation to maintain such rating), and having an office within the United States. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.17(g), the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.17(g), the Collateral Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in Section 6.17(h).

(h) Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (i) No resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and no appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 6.17(h) shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by such successor Collateral Agent under Section 6.17(h)(iv).

(i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Debtholders, the Loan Agent, the Note Administrator and the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent, by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent so resigning and one copy to the successor Collateral Agent, together with a copy to each Debtholder, the Servicer and the parties hereto; provided that such successor collateral agent shall be appointed only upon the written consent of a Majority of the Debt or, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.17(h)(iv), by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been delivered to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Collateral Agent, the Controlling Class of Debt or any Holder of Debt, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent at the expense of the Issuer. No resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and no appointment of a successor Collateral Agent will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Agent.

(ii) The Collateral Agent may be removed at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice by Act of a Supermajority of the Debt or when a successor Collateral Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.17(h)(iv), by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class, in each case, upon written notice delivered to the parties hereto.

(iii) If at any time:

(1) the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.17(g) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder; or

(2) the Collateral Agent shall become incapable of acting or there shall be institute any proceeding pursuant to which it could be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Collateral Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Collateral Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.17(h)), (A) the Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Collateral Agent, or (B) subject to Section 5.15, any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent thereto.

(iv) If the Collateral Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Agent for any reason, the Issuer, by Issuer Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent; and the successor Collateral Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent. If the Issuer fails to appoint a successor Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by an Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to the Servicer and the parties hereto, including the retiring Collateral Agent and the successor Collateral Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent and supersede any successor Collateral Agent proposed by the Issuer. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15, the Controlling Class, any Holder or the Collateral Agent may, on behalf of itself or himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

(v) The Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Collateral Agent and each appointment of a successor Collateral Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Servicer, the parties hereto, and to the Holders of the Debt as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register or the Class A Loan Register, as applicable. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Collateral Agent and the address of its respective Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer.

(vi) The resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent shall be deemed a resignation or removal, as applicable of the other capacitates in which it serves.

(i) Representations and Warranties of the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent represents and warrants for the benefit of the other parties to this Indenture and Credit Agreement that:

(i) the Collateral Agent is a national banking association with trust powers, duly and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, with corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and is duly eligible and qualified to act as Collateral Agent under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Servicing Agreement;

(ii) this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement and the Servicing Agreement have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Collateral Agent and each constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, receivership, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (ii) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

(iv) there are no proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Collateral Agent, threatened against the Collateral Agent before any Federal, state or other governmental agency, authority, administrator or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic, which could have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the performance by the Collateral Agent of its obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Securities Account Control Agreement or the Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE 7

COVENANTS

Section 7.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Class A Loan in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the Priority of Payments. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from a payment to any Debtholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer for all purposes of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

The applicable Paying Agent shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Debtholder of any such withholding requirement no later than ten (10) days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by the Issuer to be withheld), provided that, despite the failure of the Paying Agent to give such notice, amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer, as provided above.

Section 7.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer hereby appoints the Note Administrator, with respect to the Notes, and the Loan Agent, with respect to the Class A Loan, as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Debt and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes; provided, however, that no paying agent shall be appointed in a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Debt to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Collateral Agent with the address thereof, presentations and surrenders of Notes shall be made at, and notices and demands shall be served on, the Paying Agent at its Corporate Trust Office and the Issuer hereby appoints the Paying Agent as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 7.3. Amounts for Debt Payments to be Held in Trust.

(a) All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Debt that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the applicable Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Debt.

When the Paying Agent is not also the Note Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Note Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth (5th) calendar day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions, contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the Paying Agent.

Whenever the Paying Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Collateral Agent) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited with a Paying Agent (other than the Collateral Agent) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due on the Debt with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the non-payment to the Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect) after the payment in full of all Debt issued or incurred under this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

The initial Paying Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of the Issuer and at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator and Collateral Agent. In the event that a Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, the Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent with a long-term debt rating of “Aa3” or higher by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇. The Issuer shall not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer shall cause the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator or Loan Agent to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Collateral Agent (and if the Note Administrator and Loan Agent acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) allocate all sums received for payment to the Holders of Debt in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement;

(ii) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Debt for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(iii) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Collateral Agent all sums held by it for the payment of Debt if at any time it ceases to satisfy the standards set forth above required to be met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

(iv) immediately give the Collateral Agent notice of any Default by the Issuer in the making of any payment required to be made; and

(v) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, forthwith pay to the Collateral Agent all sums so held by such Paying Agent.

The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and Credit Agreement or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Collateral Agent all sums held by the Issuer or held by the Paying Agent for payment of the Debt, such sums to be held by the Collateral Agent in trust for the same Debtholders as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such amounts.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Collateral Agent in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debt and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request; and the Holder of such Debt shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent with respect to such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer) shall thereupon cease. The Collateral Agent or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any reasonable means of notification of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Debt has been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.

Section 7.5. Protection of Collateral.

(a) The Issuer (or, with respect to continuation statements, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Issuer) shall file (or cause to be filed, on its behalf) any financing statements and any continuation statements as shall be reasonably necessary to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. In addition, the Issuer shall from time to time execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such Financing Statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance and other instruments, and shall take such other action as, in each case, any Secured Party may reasonably request as being necessary or advisable or desirable to secure the rights and remedies of the Holders and to:

(i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Collateral;

(ii) maintain or preserve the lien (and the priority thereof) of this Indenture and Credit Agreement or to carry out more effectively the purposes hereof;

(iii) perfect, publish notice of or protect the validity of any Grant made or to be made by this Indenture and Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any and all actions necessary or desirable as a result of changes in law or regulations);

(iv) instruct the Collateral Agent with respect to enforcement on any of the Mortgage Assets;

(v) instruct the Collateral Agent to preserve and defend title to the Mortgage Assets against the claims of all persons and parties; and

The Issuer hereby designates the Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute and file any Financing Statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 7.5, provided that such appointment shall not impose upon the Collateral Agent any of the Issuer’s obligations under this Section 7.5. The Collateral Agent agrees that it will from time to time, and at the direction of the Class A Lender, execute and cause such Financing Statements and continuation statements to be filed (it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any direction given to it by either the Issuer or the Class A Lender Representative, as to the need to file such Financing Statements and continuation statements, the dates by which such filings are required to be made and the jurisdictions in which such filings are required to be made). In the absence of any such direction of the Class A Lender or Issuer, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any action in respect of any Financing Statement, continuation statement or other instrument required pursuant to this Section 7.5.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not (except for payments, deliveries and distributions otherwise expressly permitted under this Indenture and Credit Agreement) cause or permit the Custodian to be located in a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction in which the Custodian was located on the Closing Date, unless the Collateral Agent, shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and Credit Agreement with respect to such property will continue to be maintained after giving effect to such action or actions.

(c) The Issuer shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all income and other material taxes, if any, levied on account of the beneficial ownership by the Issuer of any Collateral that secure the Notes and timely file all income and other material tax returns and information statements as required, (ii) take all available actions necessary or advisable to prevent the Issuer from becoming subject to any withholding or other taxes or assessments, and (iii) upon the request of the applicable withholding agent if reasonably determined to be necessary to prevent the withholding or imposition of United States income tax, deliver or cause to be delivered a United States IRS Form W-9 (or the applicable IRS Form W-8, if appropriate) or successor applicable form, to each applicable requesting withholding agent (e.g., a borrower, counterparty or paying agent, as applicable) with respect to (as applicable) an item included in the Collateral as soon as reasonably practical following such request and thereafter to the extent legally permitted to do so upon the expiration or obsolescence of such IRS form.

In the event of such contract, the performance of such actions and obligations by such Persons shall be deemed to be performance of such actions and obligations by the Issuer; and the Issuer shall punctually perform, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Servicer or such other Person to perform, all of their obligations and agreements contained in the Indenture and Credit Agreement or such other agreement.

(c) The Issuer shall maintain the Servicing Agreement in full force and effect so long as any Debt remains Outstanding and shall not terminate the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Asset except upon the sale or other liquidation of such Mortgage Asset in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 17.1 hereof.

Section 7.13. [Reserved].

Section 7.14. Calculation Agent.

(a) The Issuer hereby agrees that for so long as any Debt remains Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed to calculate the Benchmark in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B attached hereto (the “Calculation Agent”). The Issuer initially has appointed the Collateral Agent as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Benchmark for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at any time. The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Debtholders. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Issuer in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer shall promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent a leading bank which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates and which, if the Benchmark is LIBOR, is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within thirty (30) days after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent or a Majority of the Controlling Class, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.

(b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after the Reference Time, but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day (or the next London Banking Day if the Benchmark is LIBOR) immediately following each Benchmark Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate the Benchmark for the next Interest Accrual Period and will communicate such information to the Collateral Agent, who shall include such calculation on the next Payment Date Report following such Benchmark Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Benchmark Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the Benchmark, the Class A Loan Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A Loan, together with the reasons therefor. The determination of the Class A Loan Rate or any Class A Loan Interest Distribution Amount, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.

(c) None of the Calculation Agent, Note Administrator, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent or Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for (i) the selection or determination of (or any failure by the Class A Lender to select or determine) an alternative or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement, ISDA Fallback Rate, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or any other reference rate component or modifier thereto) as a successor or replacement benchmark to LIBOR or determining whether (a) any such rate is a Benchmark Replacement or ISDA Fallback Rate, (b) the conditions to the designation of such rate or the adoption of a supplemental indenture have been satisfied, or (c) a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, and shall be entitled to rely upon any selection or determination of such rate (and any modifier) by the Class A Lender or (ii) any failure or delay in performing their duties under this Indenture and Credit Agreement as a result of the unavailability of LIBOR or other reference rate as described herein or the failure of the Class A Lender to select or determine any alternative or replacement rate as set forth herein. The Calculation Agent, Note Administrator, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any selection, determination, decision or election that may be made by the Class A Lender with respect to any alternative or replacement reference rate (including any modifier thereto), including any Benchmark Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes selected by the Class A Lender.

Section 7.15. Tax Status.

(a) The Issuer shall not take any action that would result in the Issuer being treated as an association taxable as a corporation, a publicly traded partnership or taxable mortgage pool, in each case, subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.16, if the Issuer has acquired or is expected to acquire the real property underlying any Mortgage Asset pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in- lieu of foreclosure (or other “United States real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code) or an interest in an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that owns such a United States real property interest or would acquire assets other than cash or cash items or “real estate assets” (within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code), the Issuer will be permitted to either (i) organize one or more Permitted Subsidiaries and contribute the subject property or Mortgage Assets to such Permitted Subsidiary, (ii) contribute such Mortgage Asset (or subject property) to an existing Permitted Subsidiary, or (iii) sell such Mortgage Asset (or subject property) in accordance with Section 12.1.

Section 7.16. Permitted Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Issuer shall, following delivery of an Issuer Order to the parties hereto, be permitted to sell to a Permitted Subsidiary at any time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting entirely of the equity interests of such Permitted Subsidiary (or for an increase in the value of equity interests already owned). Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified in such Request for Release. The following provisions shall apply to all Sensitive Asset and Permitted Subsidiaries:

(a) For all purposes under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, any Sensitive Asset transferred to a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were an asset owned directly by the Issuer.

(b) Any distribution of Cash by a Permitted Subsidiary to the Issuer shall be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly by the Issuer and each Permitted Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Permitted Subsidiary to be deposited into the Payment Account.

(c) To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of each Permitted Subsidiary.

(d) Notwithstanding the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to a Permitted Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in a Permitted Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Permitted Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics as such Sensitive Asset).

(e) If the Class A Lender (or any party duly designated by such Class A Lender, as evidenced by a separate written agreement between the Class A Lender and such party) or any authorized party takes any action under this Indenture and Credit Agreement to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral, the Issuer shall cause each Permitted Subsidiary to sell each Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Permitted Subsidiary and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity interest in such Permitted Subsidiary held by the Issuer.

Section 7.17. Repurchase Requests.

If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Servicer receives any request or demand that a Mortgage Asset be repurchased or replaced arising from any Material Breach of a representation or warranty made with respect to such Mortgage Asset or any Material Document Defect (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”) or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer, then the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly forward such notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Issuer and the Servicer. Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer shall be responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase Request.

Section 7.18. Servicing of Mortgage Assets and Control of Servicing Decisions.

Subject to the terms and conditions provided in Section 17.1, the Mortgage Loans will be serviced by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, subject to the consultation, consent and direction rights of the Class A Lender, as set forth herein and in the Servicing Agreement, subject to those conditions, restrictions or termination events expressly provided therein. Nothing in this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be interpreted to limit in any respect the rights of the Class A Lender under the Servicing Agreement and none of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall take any action under the Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Servicing Agreement inconsistent with the rights of the Class A Lender set forth herein or under the related Servicing Agreement.

Upon the receipt of such written direction of a Tax Redemption, the Collateral Agent shall provide written notice thereof to the Debtholders and the Trustee.

The failure of any Tax Redemption that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default.

(e) the place or places where Class A Lender Promissory Note or any notes to be repaid or redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for payment of the repayment amount or Redemption Price which shall be the office or agency of the Paying Agent as provided in Section 7.2.

Notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuer, or at its request, by the Collateral Agent in the name of the Issuer, and at the expense of the Issuer.

Payments of interest on the Debt so to be repaid or redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt, or predecessor Debt, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(f).

Such notice of a required Future Advance shall identify the related Future Advance Mortgage Asset and shall include the intended Additional Funding Date (if applicable), a description of how the related Obligor has satisfied the applicable funding conditions in the related Mortgage Asset Documents and the then current principal balance of such Future Advance Mortgage Asset. Such notice shall also include copies of all documentation submitted by the related Obligor in connection with the applicable Future Advance. The Issuer shall provide the Class A Lender with any additional information as the Class A Lender shall reasonably request regarding such proposed Future Advance. No Additional Funding Date (if applicable) related to such Future Advance shall be sooner than ten (10) Business Days’ after the Class A Lender’s receipt of all requested information regarding the requested Future Advance (it being acknowledged that Class A Lender may agree to a shorter period on a case-by-case basis).

115

(b) In the event that there are sufficient Permitted Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Replenishment Reserve Account to fund the entirety of any such Future Advance for which Issuer has provided notice in accordance with Section 12.3(a) above, the Issuer shall fund such Future Advance with funds on deposit in the Replenishment Reserve Account, subject to the satisfaction of the Future Advance Funding Conditions.

(c) Solely in the event that Permitted Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Replenishment Reserve Account are insufficient to fund the entirety of any such Future Advance for which Issuer has provided notice in accordance with Section 12.3(a) above, (i) the Issuer shall fund such Future Advance to the extent of all Permitted Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Replenishment Reserve Account in accordance with Section 12.3(b) above and (ii) the Class A Lender shall make an Additional Class A Loan on such Additional Funding Date on account of such Future Advance in an amount equal to the applicable Class A Loan Additional Funding Amount for such Future Advance (either in its entirely or in part on account of the application of Permitted Principal Proceeds (if any) from the Replenishment Reserve Account) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 16.1 and 16.2 (for the avoidance of doubt, Issuer hereby agrees that each Class A Lender shall severally advance its pro rata share (based on its ratable portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loan as identified on the Class A Loan Register) of such Additional Class A Loan pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement), provided that, in each case:

(i) the Future Advance Funding Conditions are satisfied;

(ii) the Holder of the Class B Notes has contributed the applicable Class B Note Additional Funding Amount for such Future Advance;

(iii) solely with respect to an Additional Class A Loan to be made by Class A Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, the Class A Lender approves such Additional Class A Loan in its sole and absolute discretion (other than in the case of the Committed Additional Class A Loan); and

116

(e) If the Class A Lender elects (in its sole and absolute discretion) to make an Additional Class A Loan in accordance with Section 16.1(b) to allow the Issuer to fund any Future Advance with respect to any Future Advance Mortgage Asset, the Issuer shall use the proceeds of such Additional Class A Loan together with amounts funded or contributed by the Holder of the Class B Notes or withdrawn from the Replenishment Reserve Account to fund such Future Advance. The Class A Lender may (in its sole and absolute discretion) impose conditions (in addition to those specified in Section 12.3(a)) to the making of any applicable Additional Class A Loan as it deems appropriate. The Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class B Notes shall be increased by an amount equal to (i) the principal amount of such Future Advance made by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 12.3(e), if any, as of the date of the related acquisition minus (ii) the amount of any Additional Class A Loan (and the amount withdrawn from the Replenishment Reserve Account) related to the funding of such Future Advance.

(f) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any Future Advance Mortgage Asset for which (i) Permitted Principal Proceeds on deposit in the Replenishment Reserve Account are insufficient to fund (in whole or in part) such Future Advance because the conditions set forth in Sections 12.3(a) and (b) are not satisfied or otherwise or (ii) the Class A Lender does not advance any Additional Class A Loan to fund such Future Advance hereunder because the conditions set forth in Sections 12.3(a) and (c) are not satisfied or otherwise, the Issuer shall advance, as and when required under the related Mortgage Asset Documents, any and all Future Advances required thereunder. In connection therewith, the Holder of the Class B Notes shall contribute Cash to the Issuer in an amount equal to the applicable Class B Note Additional Funding Amount in order to ensure that the Issuer has sufficient Cash to fund such all such Future Advances in full, in which case the Issuer shall provide notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent and the Class B Note shall be increased by the applicable Class B Note Additional Funding Amount. In the event that the conditions set forth in Sections 12.3(a) and (c) are later satisfied with respect to a Future Advance and the Class A Lender makes an Additional Class A Loan in accordance with Section 12.3(c) and (d) hereof, the Issuer shall provide notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent and the Class B Note shall be reduced by the applicable Class A Loan Additional Funding Amount for such Future Advance.

(a) Any transaction effected after the Closing Date under Article 5, Article 9 or this Article 12 (other than pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) and (ii)) shall be conducted on an arms’ length basis and if effected with the Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, shall be effected at fair market value on terms at least as favorable to the Debtholders as would be the case if such Person were not so Affiliated. None of the Trustee, Note Administrator, Collateral Agents or Loan Agent shall have any responsibility to oversee compliance with this clause by the other parties.

(b) Upon any Grant pursuant to this Article 12, all of the Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Mortgage Assets shall be Granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement, such Pledged Mortgage Assets shall be assigned or endorsed to the Collateral Agent (or in blank), and, if applicable, the Collateral Agent shall receive such Pledged Mortgage Assets (as well as, with respect to any Mortgage Assets, the delivery of all related Mortgage Asset Files in accordance with Section 3.3(d) hereof).

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1. Form of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any Specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Servicer or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, the Servicer or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two (2) or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever in this Indenture and Credit Agreement it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to the taking of any action by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Agent at the request or direction of the Issuer, then notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer’s rights to make such request or direction, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Agent shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(g).

Section 14.2. Acts of Debtholders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture and Credit Agreement to be given or taken by Debtholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Debtholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent or the Loan Agent, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Debtholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Loan Agent and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.

119

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Loan Agent or the Note Administrator deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount and registered numbers of Debt held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the Notes Register or the Class A Loan Register, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an investor certification to determine ownership of any Debt.

(d) the Servicer shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, hand delivered, sent by overnight courier service or by email or facsimile in legible form, to the Servicer addressed to it at the address set forth in the Servicing Agreement, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee.

Section 14.4. Notices to Holders; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Servicing Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event:

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register or Class A Loan Register, as applicable, not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

(b) such notice shall be in the English language.

The Note Administrator and Loan Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to the Holders any information or notice in its possession, requested to be so delivered by at least 25% of the Holders of any Class of Debt.

Neither the failure to mail any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders shall be made with the approval of the Collateral Agent and shall constitute sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture and Credit Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Note Administrator and Loan Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In the event that, by reason of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 14.5. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 14.6. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and Credit Agreement by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

122

Section 14.7. Severability.

In case any provision in this Indenture and Credit Agreement or in the Debt shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 14.8. Benefits of Indenture and Credit Agreement.

Nothing in this Indenture and Credit Agreement or in the Debt, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than (a) the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and (b) the Servicer, the Noteholders and the Sponsor (each of whom shall be an express third party beneficiary hereunder), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

Section 14.9. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

THIS INDENTURE AND CREDIT AGREEMENT AND EACH DEBT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

THE PARTIES HERETO AND EACH DEBTHOLDER HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS INDENTURE AND CREDIT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 14.10. Submission to Jurisdiction.

Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or this Indenture and Credit Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The Issuer hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any action or proceeding by the mailing or delivery of copies of such process to it at the office of the Issuer’s agent set forth in Section 7.2. Each party hereto agrees 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.

Section 14.11. Counterparts.

This Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature; or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case, to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof. This Indenture and Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but such counterparts shall, together, constitute one and the same instrument. For the avoidance of doubt, original manual signatures shall be used for execution or indorsement of writings when required under the UCC or other Signature Law due to the character or intended character of the writings.

Section 14.12. [Reserved].

Section 14.13. [Reserved].

Section 14.14. Confidential Information.

(a) None of the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Note Administrator shall disclose the Confidential Information to any third party; provided that the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Note Administrator may deliver or disclose Confidential Information, as applicable, to:

(i) such Person’s directors, trustees, managers, members, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”) and their Representatives who need to know such information in connection with the making, holding, administering and/or transferring all or a portion of the Class A Loan and/or performing its obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (it being understood and agreed that such Person shall advise such Representatives of their obligations concerning the confidentiality of such information and shall instruct such Representatives not to disclose such information except as permitted by this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Documents);

(ii) such Person’s legal advisors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the making, holding, administering and/or transferring all or a portion of the Class A Loan and/or performing its obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and have been advised to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 14.14;

(iii) any Holder of a Note, or any of the other parties to this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;

(iv) any prospective purchaser of all or a portion of the Class A Loan; provided that such prospective purchaser first executes a confidentiality agreement with the Class A Lender substantially similar in substance as this Section 14.14 with respect to the Confidential Information;

(v) any Federal or state or other regulatory, governmental or judicial authority having or claiming jurisdiction over such Person;

(vi) any other Person with the written consent of the Notes Investor;

(vii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure is required under this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or

(viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (A) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Person (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process upon prior notice to the Issuer (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law), or (C) in connection with any litigation to which such Person is a party upon prior notice to the Issuer (unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law).

124

Each of the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Note Administrator agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information and disclose Confidential Information as provided for in clauses (i) through (viii) above, in each case for the sole purpose of making, holding, administering and/or transferring all or a portion of the Class A Loan and/or performing its obligations and/or exercising its rights under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event the Class A Lender receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to clause (viii) above, except for disclosures pursuant to regulatory supervisory oversight, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances and unless prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or decree or other requirement having the force of law, each of the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Note Administrator agrees that it shall (a) promptly notify the Notes Investor thereof and (b) if disclosure is required on advice of counsel, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Notes Investor, at the expense of the Notes Investor, in any attempt that the Notes Investor makes to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information so disclosed; provided, however, that such reasonable consultation or cooperation does not cause the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent or Note Administrator to be in violation of the terms of any such request to disclose.

(b) For the purposes of this Section 14.14, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to the Class A Lender, Trustee, Custodian, Collateral Agent, Loan Agent and Note Administrator in connection with and relating to the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement and/or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the existence and terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and the other Transaction Documents); provided that such term does not include information that (i) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Person prior to the time of such disclosure, (ii) subsequently becomes publicly known other than as a result of a disclosure by such Person or its Representatives in violation of this Section or (iii) is or becomes available to such Person from a third party not known by such Person to be in breach of any legal or contractual obligation not to disclose such information to such Person.

Section 14.15. Patriot Act Compliance.

In order to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and Note Administrator may be required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, upon its request from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, to comply with Applicable Law.

125

Section 14.16. The Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent.

(a) In connection with any requirement for the Collateral Agent to provide notice to the Class A Lender, the Collateral Agent shall provide such notice to the Loan Agent who shall provide such notice to the Class A Lender.

(b) In connection with any requirement for the Collateral Agent to make payments to the Class A Lender, the Collateral Agent shall make such payments to the Loan Agent who shall on the same Business Day, pay the Class A Lender.

ARTICLE 16

CLASS A LOAN; THE LOAN AGENT

Section 16.1.  The Class A Loan.

(a) The Class A Lender shall, on the Closing Date, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, make the Class A Loan to the Issuer in an amount of $102,989,377.79. References herein to the Issuer with respect to the Class A Loan shall mean the Issuer as borrower of the Class A Loan.

(b) In connection with Future Advances, in each case in accordance with Article 12 hereof, the Class A Lender may, but shall not be required to (other than in the case of the Committed Additional Class A Loan with respect to which Class A Lender is committed to, and shall, fund in accordance with Article 12 hereof), make Additional Class A Loans to the Issuer. Each Additional Class A Loan shall be in an amount equal to the Class A Loan Additional Funding Amount and shall be added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loan and shall be part of the Class A Loan for all purposes of this Indenture and Credit Agreement. In the event that the Class A Lender advances the Committed Additional Class A Loan, the Class B Note shall be reduced by the amount of such Committed Class A Loan.

(c) Other than as expressly provided for hereunder, the Issuer shall not be permitted (and the Issuer shall not) prepay the Class A Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture and Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer may, at its option and upon not less than two (2) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Class A Lender, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, prepay the Class A Loan in part from time to time on a Payment Date; provided that (i) such prepayment shall include all accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of the Class A Loan and all other amounts (without duplication) then due and payable on the Class A Loan under the Transaction Documents through and including the date such Class A Loan is prepaid in part and (ii) such prepayment shall include the amount of the Minimum Interest Partial Prepayment Amount on the Class A Loan in connection with such prepayment of the Class A Loan in part; provided further that the Issuer may not re-borrow the Class A Loan after prepayment or repayment thereof (but may borrow Additional Class A Loans). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no sale or disposition of any other Mortgage Asset by the Collateral Agent will be made in connection with a prepayment of the Class A Loan.

126

(e) Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer shall, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent, the Class A Lender, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, have the right to prepay the Class A Loan in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date thereafter (the date of such prepayment, the “Class A Loan Full Prepayment Date”); provided that, (i) such prepayment shall include all accrued and unpaid interest on and principal of the Class A Loan and all other amounts (without duplication) then due and payable on the Class A Loan under the Transaction Documents through and including such Class A Loan Full Prepayment Date, (ii) such prepayment shall include the amount of the Minimum Interest Deficiency Amount on the Class A Loan as of such Class A Loan Full Prepayment Date, and (iii) such prepayment shall include such amounts of accrued and unpaid fees to Collateral Agent, the Note Administrator, the Loan Agent, the Trustee and the Custodian in respect of their services.

(f) With respect to each Payment Date prior to the Additional Funding Date of the Committed Additional Class A Loan, Issuer shall pay to Class A Lender the Committed Additional Class A Loan Undrawn Fee, monthly in arrears.

Section 16.2. Funding of the Borrowing.

(a) No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date and each Additional Funding Date, the Class A Lender shall fund to Issuer the Class A Loan (including an Additional Class A Loan, as the case may be). Such amounts shall be made available in Dollars, and in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer.

(b) In connection with each Class A Loan (including any Additional Class A Loan), each Class A Lender shall severally advance its pro rata share (based on its ratable portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loan as identified on the Class A Loan Register) of such Class A Loan (including any Additional Class A Loan) pursuant to this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

Section 16.3. Class A Lender Promissory Note.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall, if requested by the Class A Lender (i) sign a Class A Lender Promissory Note in the name of the Class A Lender in the initial principal amount set forth in Section 16.1, plus such other amount as may be agreed by the Issuer and the Class A Lender (including, without limitation, any Additional Class A Loan), which such Class A Lender Promissory Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Class A Lender Promissory Note”) and (ii) deliver such Class A Lender Promissory Note to the Loan Agent on behalf of the Class A Lender for delivery by the Loan Agent to the Class A Lender.

(b) The Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes the Class A Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on its internal records or on the grid attached to its Class A Lender Promissory Note (or on a continuation of such grid attached to such Class A Lender Promissory Note and made a part thereof), which notations shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of, and the interest rate applicable to, the Class A Loan evidenced thereby. Subject to Section 16.22, the notations on such internal records or on each such grid indicating the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loan shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid, but the failure to record any such amount, or any error therein, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under any Class A Lender Promissory Note to make payment of principal of or interest on the Class A Loan when due. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 16.3 or elsewhere in this Indenture and Credit Agreement, Class A Lender Promissory Notes shall be delivered only to the Class A Lenders if at any time the Class A Lender specifically requests the delivery of such Class A Lender Promissory Notes. No failure of the Class A Lender to request or obtain a Class A Lender Promissory Note evidencing the Class A Loan shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Issuer to pay the Class A Loan that would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Indenture and Credit Agreement. If at any time (including, without limitation, to replace any Class A Lender Promissory Note that has been destroyed or lost), the Class A Lender requests the delivery of a Class A Lender Promissory Note to evidence the Class A Loan, the Issuer shall promptly execute and deliver to the Class A Lender the requested Class A Lender Promissory Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence the Class A Loan; provided that, in the case of a substitute or replacement Class A Lender Promissory Note, the Issuer shall have received from such requesting Class A Lender (i) an affidavit of loss or destruction and (ii) a customary lost/destroyed Class A Lender Promissory Note indemnity, in each case, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and such requesting Class A Lender, and duly executed by such requesting Class A Lender.

127

Section 16.4. Payment of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) The Class A Loan shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Class A Loan Rate applicable to such Class and such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the average Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof during the related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date). To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid when due on the Class A Loan shall accrue at the Class A Loan Rate applicable until paid as provided herein.

(b) The principal of the Class A Loan matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity Date, unless such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of the Class A Loan becomes due and payable at an earlier date by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. The payment of principal on the Class A Loan is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date of certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of Payments. Payments of principal of the Class A Loan in connection with a Mandatory Clean-Up Event or Tax Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Priority of Payments.

(c) The Issuer shall make payments of Sale Proceeds to the Class A Lender in the manner provided for in, and pursuant to, the Priority of Payments.

(d) As a condition to the payment of principal, interest and other amounts of the Class A Loan without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax or at a reduced rate of withholding, the Issuer shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to taxes or other charges that they may be required to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of the Class A Loan under any present or future law or regulation of the United States or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal income tax forms, such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities), IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person’s Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms) (together with all required attachments). In addition, each of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Loan Agent or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral. The Class A Lender agrees to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 16.4(d), or upon it becoming obsolete or inaccurate in any respect to update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments.

128

Section 16.5. Interest Rules and Calculations.

Unless otherwise directed in writing by the Loan Agent (at the written direction of the Class A Lender) to the contrary, the Issuer shall cause all payments of interest on the Class A Loan to be made to the Loan Agent for the account of the Class A Lender in accordance with Section 14.16(b).

(a) The Class A Lender hereby consents to the Issuer’s appointment of the Collateral Agent to serve as Calculation Agent under this Indenture and Credit Agreement. All computations of interest of the Class A Loan shall be made by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All other calculations regarding the Class A Loan shall be made by the Loan Agent.

(b) In no event shall the rate of interest applicable to the Class A Loan exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) Upon an assignment of the Class A Loan pursuant to Section 16.15, unless otherwise directed by the assignor Class A Lender, the assigned Class A Loan shall trade without accrued interest and the Loan Agent shall, in accordance with the Priority of Payments on the Payment Date immediately succeeding the date of assignment, disburse to (i) the assignor Class A Lender, the interest accrued on such assigned Class A Loan from and including the previous Payment Date (or in the case of the first Interest Accrual Period, the Closing Date) to but excluding such date of assignment and (ii) the assignee Class A Lender, the interest accrued on such assigned Class A Loan from and including such date of assignment to but excluding such Payment Date.

Section 16.6. Method and Place of Payment.

To the extent funds are available pursuant to the Priority of Payments, all payments by the Issuer of principal and interest and other amounts in respect of the Class A Loan hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein all payments under this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall be made to the Class A Loan Account (which funds, if delivered to the Class A Loan Account, the Loan Agent shall promptly forward to the Class A Lender), not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Loan Agent. Any payments under this Indenture and Credit Agreement which are made later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the succeeding Business Day. The Class A Lender shall be paid interest accrued on the Class A Loan it holds for each day it holds the Class A Loan (but excluding any date of assignment) during an Interest Accrual Period on the related Payment Date (in the case of an assignment of the Class A Loan, regardless of whether or not it holds the Class A Loan on such Payment Date).

Section 16.7. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Issuer hereby appoints the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association as Loan Agent for payments on the Class A Loan and to maintain the Class A Loan Register as set forth in Section 16.22.

129

(b) The Issuer may at any time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all of such purposes and shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee, the Loan Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Class A Lender of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the location and any change in the location of any office or agency.

Section 16.8. Money for Debt Payments to be Held in Trust.

All payments of amounts due and payable with respect to the Class A Loan that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account shall be deposited in the Class A Loan Account and made on behalf of the Issuer by the Loan Agent with respect to payments on the Class A Loan.

Section 16.9. Appointment.

The Class A Lender hereby designates ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association to act as Loan Agent for the Class A Lender hereunder. By becoming a party to this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Class A Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Loan Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Loan Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Loan Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

Section 16.10. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Loan Agent.

(a) The Class A Lender hereby designates and appoints the Loan Agent as its agent under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and hereby authorizes the Loan Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and Credit Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Loan Agent by the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Loan Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Class A Lenders, the Trustee, any Holder or the Issuer, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and Credit Agreement or otherwise exist against the Loan Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture and Credit Agreement with reference to the Loan Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.

(g) No provision of this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall require the Loan Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture and Credit Agreement, except where this Indenture and Credit Agreement provides otherwise.

(h) The Loan Agent shall not be liable to the Class A Lender for any action taken or omitted by it at the direction of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Controlling Class, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and/or a Class A Lender under circumstances in which such direction is required or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement.

(a) Upon receipt of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement acknowledged by the Loan Agent, the Class A Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Indenture and Credit Agreement (including the Class A Loan and, if applicable, such Class A Lender’s Class A Lender Promissory Note, if any), in whole or in part, to (i) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, a Qualified Transferee that is not a Prohibited Transferee and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Person. If any Class A Lender so sells or assigns all or any portion of its rights hereunder or, if applicable, under the Class A Lender Promissory Note, any reference in this Indenture and Credit Agreement or the Class A Lender Promissory Note to such assigning Class A Lender shall thereafter refer to such Class A Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Class A Lender. Each assignment pursuant to this Section 16.21 shall be effected by the assigning Class A Lender and the assignee Class A Lender executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, which Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit D (appropriately completed) (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”).

To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 16.21, the assigning Class A Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned portion of the Class A Loan (including any Class A Lender Promissory Note). If any transfer or assignment of a portion of the Class A Loan will result in ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA no longer holding a Majority of the Class A Loan, such transfer or assignment shall be subject to the consent of the Issuer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Each Class A Lender and the Issuer agree to execute such documents (including amendments to this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (to the extent authorized to do so under such Transaction Documents)) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this Indenture and Credit Agreement shall prevent or prohibit the Class A Lender from pledging the Class A Lender Promissory Note or the Class A Loan to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by the Class A Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA is no longer the Class A Lender Representative, the holders of a Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class A Loan shall immediately appoint a successor Class A Lender Representative and notify the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent of such appointment. The Class A Lender Representative shall act on behalf of the Class A Lenders under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and shall exercise all rights of the Class A Lenders under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, as the Controlling Class hereunder), and the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent shall be entitled to and protected in relying on statements from the Class A Lender Representative that the requisite votes or consents have been obtained from the Class A Lenders.

(b) With the consent of all of the Class A Lenders, as certified by the Class A Lender Representative to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent, the Class A Lenders may request, subject to the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Issuer to exchange the Class A Lender Promissory Notes (the “Original Notes”) for amended and restated Class A Lender Promissory Notes or additional Class A Lender Promissory Notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal and/or interest of the Original Notes to such New Notes; structuring such New Notes as pari passu or senior/subordinate notes, or severing the Original Notes into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Original Notes; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Original Notes prior to such amendments, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such amendments, the weighted average interest rate of the Class A Lender Promissory Notes will be equal to the initial weighted average interest rate of the Class A Lender Promissory Notes immediately prior to such amendments, (iii) such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, (iv) after giving effect to such amendments, payments of principal when an Event of Default has not occurred (or if it has occurred, is not continuing) shall be made on a pro rata and pari passu basis to all of the Class A Lender Promissory Notes, (v) after giving effect to such amendments, the rights and obligations of the Holders of the Class A Lender Promissory Notes on an aggregate basis shall be identical to the rights and obligations of the Holders of the Class A Lender Promissory Notes immediately prior to such amendments, and (vi) the Class A Lenders deliver to the Issuer a written opinion, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuer, of nationally recognized legal counsel nationally experienced in such matters (upon which both the Issuer and the Sponsor shall be entitled to rely), that such amendments will not cause the Issuer or the Collateral (or any portion of the Issuer or the Collateral or Sponsor (assuming that the Sponsor has no assets or liabilities other than in connection with its interests in the Issuer)) to be treated as a taxable mortgage pool for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that such amendment will not result in a significant modification within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder with respect to the Class A Loan. If the Issuer so requests, the initial Holders of the New Notes (and any subsequent Holders of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Indenture and Credit Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (vi), as certified by the Class A Lender Representative, on which certification the Issuer can rely), the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Class A Lenders to amend this Indenture and Credit Agreement for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal and the requested exchange of Class A Lender Promissory Notes. The Class A Lender Representative shall continue to represent the Holders of the Class A Loan.

139

Section 16.22. Class A Loan Register.

The Class A Lender hereby acknowledges that the Loan Agent will serve as the Issuer’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 16.22, to maintain a register (the “Class A Loan Register”) on which it shall record the names and addresses of each Class A Lender, the Class A Loan (and transfers thereof) made by each such persons, the principal amount and stated interest of each such Person in the Class A Loan and each repayment in respect of the principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Class A Loan. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Issuer’s obligations in respect of the Class A Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Loan Register is intended to be and shall be maintained so as to cause the Class A Loan to be considered issued in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5 of such regulations and any applicable amended or successor regulations. With respect to the Class A Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, the Class A Loan made by the Class A Lender shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Class A Loan Register maintained by the Loan Agent with respect to ownership of the Class A Loan as provided in this Section 16.22 and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to the Class A Loan shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all the Class A Loan shall be recorded by the Loan Agent on the Class A Loan Register only upon the acceptance by the Loan Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 16.21. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Loan Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of the Class A Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Class A Lender shall surrender its Class A Lender Promissory Note, if any, and thereupon one or more new Class A Lender Promissory Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall, if requested by the assignee or transferee Class A Lender be issued to the assignee or transferee Class A Lender.

The Loan Agent shall make such Class A Loan Register available to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Issuer upon request therefor.

Section 16.23. Distributions; Establishment of Class A Loan Account.

(a) On each Payment Date on which amounts are received by the Loan Agent for distribution to the Class A Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 of hereof, the Loan Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Class A Lenders, pro rata, allocated based on amounts due thereto.

(b) The Loan Agent shall, prior to the Closing Date, establish a single, segregated trust account, which shall be designated as the “Class A Loan Account”. Any and all funds at any time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A Loan Account shall be held by the Loan Agent for the benefit of the Class A Lender. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, the Class A Loan Account shall be to pay the interest on and the principal of the Class A Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and Credit Agreement. All funds received in the Class A Loan Account shall remain uninvested.

ARTICLE 17

SERVICING

Section 17.1. Servicing.

(a) The Issuer shall cause all Mortgage Assets to be serviced by the Servicer (or a replacement Servicer reasonably acceptable to the Majority of the Controlling Class) in accordance with the Servicing Agreement (or a replacement Servicing Agreement reasonably acceptable to the Majority of the Controlling Class), in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Issuer shall obtain the written consent of the Majority of the Controlling Class prior to appointing any replacement Servicer or entering into or amending or modifying any Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Assets with a Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to terminate the Servicer and the Servicing Agreement and appoint a replacement Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Assets. In connection with the foregoing, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Class in effecting such replacement and termination.

(b) Subject to the Mortgage Asset Documents, the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Standard, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more Affiliates, vendors or other third parties for the performance of incidental services of the Servicer hereunder, such as performing inspections or monitoring insurance and/or taxes; provided that the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such contract. The Servicer shall be obligated to pay all fees and expenses of any Affiliates, vendors or other third parties to which it has delegated or subcontracted any of its duties under the Servicing Agreement out of its Servicing Fee.

(a) The Servicer may, at no cost to Issuer, enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers (so long as such sub-servicer is a Qualified Servicer and, so long as the Class A Loan is Outstanding, a Majority of the Holders of the Class A Loan approve such sub-servicer and sub-servicing agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem, in its reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable; provided that the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Assets in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Assets. References in this Indenture and Credit Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Assets include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. For purposes of this Indenture and Credit Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment in respect of a Mortgage Asset when the applicable or related sub-servicer receives such payment. The Servicer shall be obligated to pay all fees and expenses of any sub-servicer out of its Servicing Fee. Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by Servicer (or a side letter agreement entered into by the Servicer, the applicable sub-servicer, the Issuer and the Class A Lender (for so long as the Class A Loan is Outstanding)) shall (x) conform to the provisions in this Section 17.1, (y) provide that it shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Servicer and (z) terminate, at the option of a Majority of the Controlling Class, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.

(b) The Issuer and the Class A Lender hereby approve the Servicing Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuer shall not cause or permit the Servicing Agreement to be amended, modified or supplemented without the consent of a Majority of the Holders of the Controlling Class.

SCHEDULE B

BENCHMARK

Calculation of Benchmark. For purposes of calculating the Benchmark (which shall initially be the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”)), the Issuer shall initially appoint the Collateral Agent as calculation agent (in such capacity, the “Calculation Agent”).

Calculation of LIBOR. LIBOR with respect to any Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) On each Benchmark Determination Date, LIBOR (other than for the initial Interest Accrual Period) shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent, for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of one month, which appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 (or such other page that may replace that page on such service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates) as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News as of the Reference Time. “London Banking Day” means any day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London, England.

(b) If such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 (or its equivalent), as of the Reference Time, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London office of any four major reference banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent to provide quotations of such reference bank’s offered quotations to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of one month, as of the Reference Time, in a principal amount of not less than $1,000 that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If at least two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent shall be required to request any three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such banks’ rates for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a one-month period as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, as of the applicable Benchmark Determination Date, in a principal amount not less than $1,000 that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If at least two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two rates are so provided, then LIBOR shall be the LIBOR rate used for the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period.

(c) In respect of the initial Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR shall be determined on the second London Banking Day preceding the Closing Date.

(d) In no event shall LIBOR be less than the Benchmark Floor.

In making the above calculations, (A) all percentages resulting from the calculation (other than the calculation determined pursuant to clause (b) above) shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (0.00001%) and (B) all percentages determined pursuant to clause (b) above shall be rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in (A), but to the same degree of accuracy as the two rates used to make the determination (except that such percentages shall not be rounded to a lower degree of accuracy than the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point (0.001%)).

PROHIBITED TRANSFEREE

Schedule C

SCHEDULE D

MORTGAGE ASSETS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

With respect to each Mortgage Asset and the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, as of the Closing Date, Issuer makes the following representations and warranties:

Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Assets. Each Mortgage Asset is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Issuer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Issuer), participation or pledge, and Issuer had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Asset. Issuer has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Asset, free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Asset.

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

Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Asset Documents for each Mortgage Asset 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, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

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

Schedule D

Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage Asset File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Asset Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty, participation agreement, if applicable, and related Mortgage Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on Mortgage Asset; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participating Person has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Asset Documents. With respect to each Mortgage Asset, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Asset consented to by Issuer.

Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits to Issuer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to the Issuer. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits 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 Mortgage Asset or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Asset establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications subject to the limitations described in Paragraph (9) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

Schedule D

Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Asset is covered by an American Land Title Association (ALTA) lender’s title insurance policy or a comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy (or escrow instructions binding on the applicable a nationally-recognized title insurance company (each, a “Title Company”) and irrevocably obligating the Title Company to issue such title insurance policy, a title policy commitment or pro- forma “marked up” at the closing of the related Mortgage Asset and countersigned by the Title Company or its authorized agent) as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (each, a “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Asset (or with respect to a Mortgage Asset secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) all liens,encumbrances and other matters disclosed in the applicable Title Policy, (b) liens, if any, for taxes imposed by any governmental authority not yet due or delinquent, (c) leases, equipment leases, or other similar instruments entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Asset Documents, (d) mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are being contested in accordance with the Mortgage Asset Documents, bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy, and (e) liens and encumbrances incurred in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Asset Documents (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). None of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by Issuer thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Issuer, nor to Issuer’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

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

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

10.

UCC Filings. Issuer has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC-1 financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-2 or UCC-3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Issuer was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

Schedule D

11.

Condition of Property. Issuer or the originator of the Mortgage Asset inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Mortgage Asset and within twelve (12) months of the Cut-off Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Asset no more than twelve (2) months prior to the Cut-off Date. To Issuer’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, each related Mortgaged Property was (a) free and clear of any material damage, (b) in good repair and condition and (c) is free of structural defects, except in each case (i) for any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Asset, (ii) if such repairs have been completed or (iii) if escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Issuer with respect to similar loans its holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. Issuer has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that Issuer believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

12.

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

13.

Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Issuer’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Issuer’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut- off 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 Mortgage Asset. As of the date of origination and to Issuer’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Asset Documents, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Asset Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Asset or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

Schedule D

15.

Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the Mortgage Asset Documents are in the possession, or under the control, of Issuer or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Asset Documents as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Cut-Off Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Asset Documents.

16.

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

17.

Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VII” from A.M. Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (collectively, the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Asset and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Asset Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than twelve (12) months (or with respect to each Mortgage Asset on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, eighteen (18) months); (ii) for a Mortgage Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

Schedule D

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirement.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by a prudent institutional commercial mortgage lender for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s in an amount not less than 150% of the SEL or PML, as applicable.

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

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Asset and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Trustee. Each related Mortgage Asset obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to 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 Issuer.

Schedule D

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 Mortgage Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Mortgage Asset Documents has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.

19.

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

20.

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

21.

REMIC. The Mortgage Asset is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G- 2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (a) the issue price of the Mortgage Asset to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Asset and (b) either: (i) such Mortgage Asset is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (A) at the date the Mortgage Asset was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Asset on such date or (B) at the Cut-off Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Asset on such date, provided that, for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Asset and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Asset; or (ii) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Asset (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Asset was “significantly modified” prior to the Cut-off Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (i) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Asset or (ii) satisfies the provisions of either clause (b)(i)(A) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Asset was originated) or clause (b)(i)(B), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Asset constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this Paragraph (21) shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

Schedule D

22.

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

23.

Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date and as of each 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 Mortgage Asset by Issuer.

24.

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

25.

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

Schedule D

26.

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

27.

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

28.

Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Asset Documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Asset, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Asset, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Asset and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clause (a) or (d), either: (i) such release of collateral (A) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (B) would not cause the subject Mortgage Asset to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (ii) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (i). For purposes of the preceding clause (i), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Asset outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the provisions governing a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in Section 860D of the Code (the “REMIC Provisions”).

Schedule D

In the event of a 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 Mortgage Asset in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, awards are not required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Asset.

No such Mortgage Asset that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross- collateralized with another Mortgage Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

29.

Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Mortgage Asset Documents for each Mortgage Asset 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 Mortgage Asset with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis.

30.

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

Schedule D

31.

Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Asset contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Asset if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Asset Documents, (iii) transfers that do not result in a change of Control of the related Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Asset Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph (28) herein, or (vii) to the extent set forth in the exceptions contained on Schedule D-1(b), by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth on Schedule D-1(c) or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise.

32.

Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Asset requires the borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Asset is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Asset with a principal amount on the Cut-off Date of $5 million or more provide that the borrower is a Single- Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Asset with a principal amount on the Cut-off Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For purposes of this Paragraph (32), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Assets and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

Schedule D

33.

Defeasance. With respect to any fixed rate Mortgage Asset that, pursuant to the Mortgage Asset Documents, can be defeased, (i) the Mortgage Asset Documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Asset Documents; (ii) the Mortgage Asset cannot be defeased within two years after the closing date of a securitization of such Mortgage Asset ; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Asset when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity 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 Mortgage Asset permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) 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 (iii) above; (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Asset secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) 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 (viii) 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.

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

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

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

37.

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

No Mortgage Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Asset is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Issuer’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Asset Documents, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Asset, or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that this Paragraph (38) does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled hereto to any other representation and warranty made by Issuer. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Asset may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Asset Documents.

Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Asset and to Issuer’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, neither the Mortgaged Property nor any portion thereof is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Mortgage Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Asset, the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. No Mortgage Asset has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another borrower.

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

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by any federal, state, foreign or local statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, guideline, written policy and rule of common law now or hereafter in effect and in each case as amended, and any judicial or administrative interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order, consent decree or judgment, relating to the environment, employee health and safety or hazardous materials, including, without limitation, CERCLA; RCRA; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.; the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.; the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.; the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. § 3803 et seq.; the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq.; the Emergency Planning and the Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. § 11001 et seq.; the Hazardous Material Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. § 1801 et seq. and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. § 651 et seq.; and any state and local or foreign counterparts or equivalents, in each case as amended from time to time (the “Environmental Laws”) are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Mortgage Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Mortgage Asset within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized “environmental conditions” as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor (the “Environmental Conditions”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than “A-” (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch, Inc.; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Issuer’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

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

(ii)

under applicable United States federal income tax law, no United States federal income taxes are, as of the date of its acquisition of an interest in the Class B Notes, required to be withheld by the Issuer or the Trustee or any other person with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of an interest in the Class B Notes;

(iii)

either (a) it is not and will not become, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a partnership, S corporation, or grantor trust (each such entity a “flow-through entity”) or (b) if it is or becomes a flow-through entity, then (1) none of the direct or indirect beneficial owners of any of the interests in such flow-through entity has or ever will have more than 50% of the value of its interest in such flow-through entity attributable to the beneficial interest of such flow-through entity in the Class B Notes, other interest (direct or indirect) in the Issuer, or any interest created under this Indenture and Credit Agreement and (2) it is not and will not be a principal purpose of the arrangement involving the flow-through entity's beneficial interest in any Class B Note to permit any entity to satisfy the 100-partner limitation of Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations necessary for such entity not to be classified as a publicly traded partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
