PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Issuers (as defined herein) have duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of Net-Lease Mortgage Notes (collectively, the “Notes”), to be issued pursuant to this Indenture. The Notes issuable under this Indenture shall be issued in series (each, a “Series”), as from time to time may be created by supplements (each, a “Series Supplement”) to this Indenture.
In connection with each Series of Notes issued under this Indenture, the applicable Issuers may enter into agreements with other entities that will provide credit enhancement or other protection for the Holders of a Series of Notes and the applicable Issuers will incur obligations under the terms of such agreements.
All things necessary to make the Notes, when the Notes are executed by the applicable Issuers and authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee hereunder and duly issued by such Issuers, the valid and legally binding obligations of such Issuers enforceable in accordance with their terms, and to make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of such Issuers enforceable in accordance with its terms, have been done.
GRANTING CLAUSE
Each of the Issuers hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Series Closing Date, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, all of such Issuer’s right, title and interest in and to the assets of such Issuer, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Issuer, or in which such Issuer now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, together with the assets of any other Issuers (individually, the “Collateral” and, collectively, the “Collateral Pool”), including, without limitation, (i) such Issuer’s Mortgaged Properties (other than Mortgaged Properties securing Mortgage Loans), (ii) each of the Leases with respect to such Mortgaged Properties and all payments required thereunder on and after the applicable First Collateral Date with respect thereto, (iii) such Issuer’s Mortgage Loans and all payments required thereunder on and after the applicable First Collateral Date with respect thereto, (iv) all of such Issuer’s right, title and interest in all fixtures and reserves and escrows, if any, related to such Issuer’s Mortgaged Properties, (v) any guarantees of and security for the Tenants’ obligations under the Leases, including any security deposits thereunder, (vi) all of such Issuer’s rights under the applicable Performance Undertaking and Environmental Indemnity Agreement, (vii) all of such Issuer’s rights (but none of its obligations) under the Property Transfer Agreements, (viii) the Collection Account, the Release Account, the Lockbox Accounts, the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account, the Payment Account, any sub-accounts of such accounts and any other accounts established under the Transaction Documents for purposes of receiving, retaining and distributing amounts received in respect of the Collateral Pool and making payments to the holders of the Notes and making

The foregoing Grants are made in trust to secure the payment of principal of and interest on, and any other amounts owing in respect of, the Notes, and to secure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, all as provided in this Indenture and each Series Supplement. Any amounts, proceeds or other property expressly released from the lien of the Indenture shall cease to constitute “Collateral” and shall cease to be part of the “Collateral Pool”.
LIMITED RECOURSE
The obligation of the Issuers to make payments of principal of and interest on the Notes are limited recourse obligations of the applicable Issuers that are secured solely by and are payable solely from the related Collateral and only to the extent proceeds and distributions on such Collateral are allocated for their benefit under the terms of this Indenture. The holders of the Notes shall have no recourse to any other assets of the Issuer. In the event the Collateral has been exhausted and any of the Notes have not been paid in full, then any and all amounts that are still due on such Notes shall be extinguished and shall not revive, and such Notes shall be cancelled.
GENERAL COVENANT
IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND DECLARED that the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee on the applicable Series Closing Dates, that the Collateral is to be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee and that moneys in or from the Collateral Pool are to be applied by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders, subject to the further covenants, conditions and trusts hereinafter set forth, and each Issuer does hereby represent and warrant, and covenant and agree, to and with the Indenture Trustee, for the equal and proportionate benefit and security of each Noteholder, as follows:

The Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Issuers. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Indenture Trustee may promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, and give written notice of such appointment to the Issuers and to the Noteholders. Upon the resignation or termination of the Authenticating Agent and prior to the appointment of a successor, the Indenture Trustee shall act as Authenticating Agent.

Section 2.06    Book-Entry Notes.
(a)    The Book-Entry Notes of each Series shall be delivered as one or more Notes held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Notes as provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, transfer of such Notes may not be registered by the Note Registrar unless such transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Notes for the respective Note Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, such Note Owners shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Notes through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Section 2.06(c) below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Notes (“Definitive Notes”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by Note Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes to be held by the related transferees as Book-Entry Notes shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Note Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Notes of Note Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of any Book-Entry Note transferable through the book-entry facilities of the Depository. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuers, the Property Manager and Special Servicer, and, if the Indenture Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Indenture Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian

-38-


and the Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe; provided, that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such appointment other than the Depository. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Issuers shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes held as Book-Entry Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian.
(b)    The Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Note Registrar may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Notes, deal with the Depository as the Noteholder and the authorized representative of the Note Owners with respect to such Notes and as sole Noteholder of such Notes, and shall have no obligations to the Note Owners. The rights of Note Owners of each such Series of Notes shall be exercised only through the Depository and the applicable Depository Participants and the rights of Note Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Note Owners, and all references in this Indenture to actions by the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Depositor upon instructions from the Depository Participants, and all references in this Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Depositor, as registered holder of the Notes of such Series of Notes for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Depository. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as holder of the Book-Entry Notes with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Note Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date. Whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the principal amount of Notes, the applicable Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Indenture Trustee. Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to such Note Owners, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the applicable Depository for distribution to the Note Owners.
(c)    If (i) the Issuers advise the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof), and (ii) the Issuers are unable to locate a qualified successor, the Note Registrar shall notify all affected Note Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to such Note Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Note Registrar of the Book-Entry Notes (or any portion thereof) by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, and the delivery of registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the applicable Issuers shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, the Definitive

-39-


Notes in respect of such Notes to the Note Owners identified in such instructions. None of the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Property Manager, the Special Servicer, the Back-Up Manager or the Note Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
(d)    Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Notes formerly held as Book-Entry Notes, the registered holders of such Definitive Notes shall be recognized as Noteholders hereunder and, accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise voting and consent rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Notes. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Depository with respect to such Notes shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Noteholders of the Definitive Notes of such Series of Notes as Noteholders of such Series of Notes hereunder.
(e)    Each of the Issuers shall provide an adequate inventory of Definitive Notes of each Class of each Series to the Indenture Trustee.
Section 2.07    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, the applicable Issuers shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, in exchange therefor, a new Note of the same Series, Class and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction (including mutilation tantamount to destruction), loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, and (ii) indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to hold each of them and any of their agents harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the applicable Issuers or the Note Registrar that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the applicable Issuers shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same Series, Class, tenor and denomination registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the applicable Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Note Registrar may require the payment by the Noteholder of an amount sufficient to pay or discharge any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Authenticating Agent and the Indenture Trustee) in connection therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuers, whether or not the destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable

-40-


by any Person, and such new Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of its Class and Series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 2.08    Noteholder Lists.
The Note Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series, which list, upon request, will be made available to the Indenture Trustee insofar as the Indenture Trustee is no longer the Note Registrar. Upon written request of any Noteholder made for purposes of communicating with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture, the Note Registrar shall promptly furnish such Noteholder at such Noteholder’s expense with a list of the Noteholders of record identified in the Note Register at the time of the request. Every Noteholder, by receiving such access, or by receiving a Note or an interest therein, agrees with the Note Registrar that the Note Registrar will not be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of any Noteholder regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 2.09    Persons Deemed Owners.
The Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any of their agents, may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note as of the related Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, interest and other amounts in respect of such Note and for all other purposes, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any agents of any of them, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 2.10    Payment Account.
(a)    On or prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more segregated trust accounts (collectively, the “Payment Account”) at Citibank, N.A. (or at such other financial institution as necessary to ensure that the Payment Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account, in each case subject to an Account Control Agreement), in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders, and the Issuers as their interests may appear. Each Payment Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. On each Remittance Date, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Payment Account, upon receipt or withdrawal as provided in the Property Management Agreement, the Available Amount for such Payment Date. Except as provided in this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account. Funds in the Payment Account shall not be commingled with any other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Payment Account shall be held by and under the control

-41-


of the Indenture Trustee in the Payment Account for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuers as herein provided.
(b)    Amounts in the Payment Account shall be held uninvested.
(c)    The Indenture Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from the Payment Account in order to allocate amounts so withdrawn in accordance with Section 2.11(b).
(d)    Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 3.01, the Indenture Trustee shall pay to the Issuers, as their interests may appear, all amounts, if any, held by it remaining as part of the Collateral Pool.
Section 2.11    Payments on the Notes.
(a)    Subject to Section 2.11(b), the applicable Issuers agree to pay:
(i)    on each Payment Date prior to the Legal Final Payment Date for the Classes of each Series of Notes (but only to the extent of the Available Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b), in the case of payments of principal), interest (but only to the extent of the Available Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b), in the case of payments of Post-ARD Additional Interest and Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest) on and principal of such Notes in the amounts and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.11(b); and
(ii)    on the Legal Final Payment Date for the Classes of each Series of Notes, the entire applicable Aggregate Note Principal Balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (but only to the extent of the Available Amount pursuant to Section 2.11(b), in the case of payments of Post-ARD Additional Interest and Deferred Post-ARD Additional Interest).
Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Holder of a Note of interest, principal or other amounts, or any such payment set aside on the Final Payment Date for such Note as provided in Section 2.11(b), shall be considered as having been paid by the applicable Issuers to such Noteholder for all purposes of this Indenture.
(b)    With respect to each Payment Date, any interest, principal and other amounts payable on the Notes shall be paid to each Person that is a registered holder thereof at the close of business on the related Record Date; provided, however, that interest, principal and other amounts payable at the Final Payment Date of any Note shall be payable only against surrender thereof at the Indenture Trustee’s Office or such other address as may be specified in the notice of final payment. Payments of interest, principal and other amounts on the Notes to be made pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall be made on each Payment Date other than the Final Payment Date, subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such accounts as each such Noteholder shall designate by written instruction received by the Indenture Trustee not later than the Record Date related to such Payment Date or otherwise by check mailed on or before such Payment Date to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address appearing on the Note Register as of the related Record Date. Any amounts to be paid with respect to a Note in connection with its Final

-42-


Payment Date shall be paid in immediately available funds from funds in the Payment Account as promptly as possible after presentation to the Indenture Trustee of such Note at the Indenture Trustee’s Office, but in no event later than the next Business Day after the day of such presentation. If presentation is made after 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on any day, such presentation shall be deemed to have been made on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Each payment with respect to a Book-Entry Note shall be paid to the Depository, as holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such payment to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such payments to the related Note Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Note Owners that it represents. None of the parties hereto shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Indenture or applicable law. The applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall perform their respective obligations under each Letter of Representations.
Except as provided in the following sentence, if a Note is issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any Record Date and ending before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related Payment Date, no interest, principal or other amounts will be payable on such Payment Date in respect of such new Note, but will be payable on such Payment Date only in respect of the prior Note. Interest, principal and other amounts payable on any Note issued in exchange for any other Note during the period commencing at the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on the Record Date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date for such Notes and ending on the Final Payment Date for such Notes, shall be payable to the Person that surrenders the new Note as provided in this Section 2.11.
All payments of interest, principal and other amounts made with respect to the Notes of a Class of any Series will be allocated pro rata among the Outstanding Notes of such Class based on the related Note Principal Balance.
If any Note on which the final payment was due is not presented for payment on its Final Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee shall set aside any payments that would be made in respect of such final payment in a segregated, non-interest bearing account (and shall remain uninvested) separate from the Payment Account (but which may be a sub-account thereof) but which constitutes an Eligible Account (or a sub-account of an Eligible Account), and the Indenture Trustee and the Issuers shall act in accordance with Section 5.10 in respect of the unclaimed funds.
On each Payment Date, the Available Amount for such Payment Date will be applied by the Indenture Trustee, first to pay the following expenses of the Issuers related to the Collateral Pool (collectively, “Collateral Pool Expenses”) in the following order of priority:

-45-


Cashflow Coverage Ratio is below the Early Amortization Threshold and the Requisite Global Majority waives the related Early Amortization Event and no Series Post-ARD Event is then in effect (after giving effect to the application of the allocations described in clause (3) above), to each Series, its Pro Rata Share (calculated after giving effect to the application of the allocations described in clauses (2) and (3) above)) of an amount equal to the sum of (a) all amounts on deposit in the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account as of such Payment Date (immediately prior to any release of amounts from such Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account in respect of such Payment Date) plus (b) the aggregate shortfalls, if any, of the amount that would have been deposited into the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account on any prior Payment Date but for there being insufficient Available Amounts in respect of such Payment Date;

On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee will apply and will pay the Series Available Amount with respect to each Series for such Payment Date for the purposes and in the order of priority indicated in the related Series Supplement. The Available Amount remaining on any Payment Date after the allocations described above shall be applied first, to the payment of Issuer Expenses and Extraordinary Expenses not paid from the Available Amount in accordance with the foregoing allocations, and second, pro rata, to the Issuers (such amounts to be released from the lien of this Indenture) or, at the option of any Issuer, with respect to its pro rata share of such remaining Available Amount, to the Release Account.
The Notes are nonrecourse obligations solely of the applicable Issuers and will be payable only from the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool. Each Noteholder and Note Owner will be deemed to have agreed that they have no rights or claims against the Issuers directly and may only look to the Collateral Pool to satisfy any such Issuer’s obligations hereunder. Each Noteholder and Note Owner will be deemed to have agreed, by its acceptance of its Note or its Ownership Interest therein, not to file or join in filing any petition in bankruptcy or commence any similar proceeding in respect of any applicable Issuer for a period of two years and 31 days following

-46-


payment in full of the Notes of all Series. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.11(b), the Issuers may, subject to Section 9.08, at any time advance funds to the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of allowing the Indenture Trustee to make required payments on the Notes (“Issuer Advances”) without right of reimbursement.
(c)    In connection with making any payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the Indenture Trustee shall make available to each Issuer on the related Payment Date via the Indenture Trustee’s internet website specified in Section 6.01(a), a written statement detailing the amounts so paid; provided, that if such information is not so available on the Indenture Trustee’s internet website for any reason, the Indenture Trustee shall provide each Issuer with such written statement by facsimile transmission, confirmed in writing by first class mail or overnight courier.

(b)    All notices of final payment in respect of a Class of Notes of any Series shall state (i) the Final Payment Date for such Notes, (ii) the amount of the final payment for such Notes and (iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment.
(c)    Notice of final payment of a Class of Notes of any Series shall be given by the Indenture Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Indenture Trustee. Failure to give notice of final payment, or any defect therein, to any Noteholder of such Series shall not impair or affect the validity of the final payment of any other Note.
Section 2.13    Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall comply with all federal, state, local or foreign withholding requirements with respect to payments to Noteholders of interest, original issue discount, or other amounts that the Indenture Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code or any other applicable law. The consent of Noteholders shall not be required for any such withholding.
Section 2.14    Cancellation.
The applicable Issuers may at any time deliver to the Note Registrar for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which such Issuers may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Note Registrar. The principal of and all accrued interest on all such cancelled Notes will be deemed to have been paid in full (and such payment of principal and interest will be deemed to have been made to the relevant Noteholders) and such cancelled Notes shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding for all purposes under this Indenture and the other transaction documents.

-47-


If any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuers, and the Issuers shall deliver such Note to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation as provided in this Section 2.14 together with a written statement stating that such Indenture Note has never been issued and sold by the Issuers, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
All Notes delivered to the Indenture Trustee for payment shall be forwarded to the Note Registrar. All such Notes and all Notes surrendered for transfer and exchange in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and disposed of by the Note Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 2.15    The Hedge Agreements.
(a)     On any Series Closing Date, the applicable Issuers may enter into one or more Hedge Agreements with respect to any Class of any related Series of Notes.

(b)    The Indenture Trustee shall, on behalf of the applicable Issuers, distribute amounts due to each Hedge Counterparty under the applicable Hedge Agreements on any Payment Date from the Payment Account in accordance with Section 2.11 and the applicable Series Supplement.

(c)    The Indenture Trustee shall agree to any reduction in the notional amount of any Hedge Agreement requested by the applicable Issuers; provided, that the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied with respect to (but only with respect to) Notes of Series to which such Hedge Agreement relates.

(d)    Each Hedge Agreement (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement) shall permit the complete or partial termination thereof (without the payment by the applicable Issuers of penalties or fees other than termination-related expenses) by the applicable Issuers subject to the provision of at least ten (10) Business Days notification to the Rating Agencies. The Indenture Trustee shall, prior to each applicable Series Closing Dates if required by the applicable Series Supplement, establish at Citibank, N.A. (or at such other financial institution as provided in the applicable Series Supplement and as necessary to ensure that the Hedge Counterparty Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account) a segregated trust account that shall be designated as a “Hedge Counterparty Account”, in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the applicable Noteholders, over which the Indenture Trustee shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal, and in which neither the applicable Issuers nor any other Person shall have any legal or beneficial interest. The Hedge Counterparty Accounts may be a sub-accounts of the Payment Account. The only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, a Hedge Counterparty Account shall

-48-


be for application to obligations of the applicable Hedge Counterparty to the applicable Issuers under the related Hedge Agreement.

(e)    In the event a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee becomes aware that a Hedge Counterparty has defaulted in the payment when due of its obligations to the applicable Issuers under the related Hedge Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall make a demand on such Hedge Counterparty, or any guarantor, if applicable, demanding payment by 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or by such time on the next succeeding Business Day if such knowledge is obtained after 11:30 a.m., New York City time). The Indenture Trustee shall give notice to the applicable Noteholders upon the continuing failure by such Hedge Counterparty to perform its obligations during the two Business Days following a demand made by the Indenture Trustee on such Hedge Counterparty.

(f)    If at any time a Hedge Agreement becomes subject to early termination due to the occurrence thereunder of an event of default or a termination event, the applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee shall take such actions (following the expiration of any applicable grace period and after the expiration of the two Business Day period referred to in Section 2.16(e), as applicable) to enforce the rights of the applicable Issuers and the Indenture Trustee thereunder as may be permitted by the terms of such Hedge Agreement and consistent with the terms hereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any such actions (including, without limitation, the proceeds of the liquidation of any collateral pledged by the related Hedge Counterparty) to enter into a replacement Hedge Agreement on such terms or provide such other substitute arrangement (or forebear from doing either of the foregoing), or as otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement. Any costs attributable to entering into a replacement Hedge Agreement which exceed the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the liquidation of the terminated Hedge Agreement shall constitute Issuer Expenses payable under Section 2.11(b). In addition, the applicable Issuers will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the termination of a Hedge Agreement to become effective simultaneously with the entry into a replacement Hedge Agreement described as aforesaid.

(g)    The applicable obligations under a Hedge Agreement must be non-recourse obligations of the applicable Issuers payable only to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 2.11(b) and the applicable Series Supplement and must contain the agreement of the Hedge Counterparty equivalent to Section 9.12 of the Property Management Agreement.

The Issuers have entered into this Indenture, and each Class of Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for purposes of any federal, state and local income or franchise tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income, such Notes will qualify as indebtedness (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement). The Issuers, by entering into this Indenture, each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, and each Note Owner, by purchasing or otherwise acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Note, agree to treat the Notes and such Ownership Interests for purposes of any federal, state and local income or franchise tax and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness (unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement).

(or at such other financial institution as necessary to ensure that the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account is at all times an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account, in each case subject to an Account Control Agreement) one or more segregated trust accounts (collectively, the “Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account”), in its name, as Indenture Trustee, bearing a designation clearly indicating that such account and all funds deposited therein are held for the exclusive benefit of the Noteholders and the Issuers as their interests may appear.

(c)    All amounts in the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.

(d)    If, on any Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall have determined (based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Properties and Leases provided to it by the Property Manager and the Special Servicer) that the Available Amount for the related Payment Date is not sufficient to make, in full, the payments set forth in clauses (1) through (2)(a) of the Inter-Series Priority of Payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (the amount of any such insufficiency, the “Cashflow Shortfall Amount”) for the related Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall transfer an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Cashflow Shortfall Amount and (y) the amount then on deposit in the Cashflow Coverage Reserve Account to the Payment Account, to be distributed as Available Amounts in respect of such Payment Date.

In connection with the issuance of any Series of Notes subsequent to the Initial Closing Date, the applicable Issuer shall cause a Performance Undertaking which contains provisions substantially similar in substance (subject to any modifications or differences with respect to which the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied) to Section 2(b) of the Initial Performance Undertaking to be entered into by the Support Provider (or an Affiliate of the Support Provider with respect to which the Affirmative Rating Condition is satisfied).

-51-

(u)    In any proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Noteholders, and it shall not be necessary to make any Noteholder a party to any such proceedings.

-57-


(v)    All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered, subject to the payment priorities of Section 2.11(b).

(g)    liquidate, or cause to be liquidated, all or any portion of the Collateral Pool at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by applicable laws; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall give the Issuers written notice of any private sale called by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) at least 10 days prior to the date fixed for such private sale;
(h)    institute, or cause to be instituted, Foreclosure Proceedings with respect to all or part of the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool;
(i)    exercise, or cause to be exercised, any remedies of a secured party under the UCC;
(j)    maintain the lien of this Indenture and the Mortgages over the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool and, in its own name or in the name of the Issuers or otherwise, collect and otherwise receive in accordance with the Property Management Agreement or this Indenture any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for the Mortgage Loans, Mortgaged Properties and Leases in the Collateral Pool;
(k)    take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee hereunder; and
(l)    exercise, or cause to be exercised, any remedies contained in any Mortgage;

-58-


provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not, unless required by law, sell or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral Pool following any Event of Default except in accordance with Section 4.15; provided, further, that, with respect to instituting any remedies pursuant to this Section 4.04 in any state wherein the law prohibits more than one “judicial action” or “one form of action” to enforce a mortgage obligation, the Indenture Trustee shall enforce any of the Indenture Trustee’s rights hereunder with respect to any Mortgaged Properties in accordance with the directions of the Property Manager.
In the event that the Indenture Trustee, following an Event of Default hereunder, institutes Foreclosure Proceedings, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly give a notice to that effect to the Issuers and each Rating Agency.
Section 4.05    Application of Money Collected.
Any money collected by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be deposited in the Payment Account and, on the Payment Date relating to the Collection Period in which such moneys are deposited in the Payment Account, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11 and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of the principal of or interest on the Notes, upon presentation and surrender of the Notes if fully paid.
Section 4.06    Limitation on Suits.
No Noteholder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1)    such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the Indenture Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(2)    the Noteholders holding more than 50% of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance shall have made written request to the Indenture Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder;
(3)    such Noteholders have offered to the Indenture Trustee adequate indemnity or security satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)    the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding;
(5)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Requisite Global Majority; and
(6)    an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

-59-


it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself or themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Noteholders. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the Noteholders may exercise their rights under this Section 4.06 independently.
Section 4.07    Unconditional Right of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note at Maturity shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payments of interest, principal and other amounts then due on such Note (subject to Section 2.11 and the limited recourse provisions herein) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment (subject to Section 4.06), and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Noteholder, unless a non-payment has been cured pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.02; provided, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or any Series Supplement or any Note to the contrary, the obligation to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be without recourse to the Issuer (except to the Collateral Pool), and the obligation of the Issuer to pay principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount payable to any Noteholder will be subject to Section 2.11. The Issuers shall, however, be subject to only one consolidated lawsuit by the Noteholders, or by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders, for any one cause of action arising under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section 4.08    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued, waived, rescinded or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuers, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 4.09    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, to the Noteholders 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 4.10    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

-60-


No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder 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. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders, as the case may be.
Section 4.11    Control by Requisite Global Majority.
(a)    The Requisite Global Majority shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.04, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee (including, without limitation, the exercise of its rights under any Account Control Agreement); provided, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any applicable law or with this Indenture or involve the Indenture Trustee in personal liability; and provided, further, that the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Requisite Global Majority may waive the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event. Upon any such waiver, such Early Amortization Event shall cease to exist, and any Early Amortization Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Early Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 4.12    Waiver of Past Defaults.
Prior to the acceleration of the Maturity of the Notes, the Requisite Global Majority may waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
(1)    in the payment of principal or interest on any Note, for which a waiver shall require the consent of Noteholders holding 100% of the aggregate Note Principal Balance of all Notes affected thereby;
(2)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby, for which a waiver shall require the consent by each such Holder;
(3)    depriving the Indenture Trustee of a lien on any part the Collateral, for which a waiver shall require the consent of the Indenture Trustee; or
(4)    depriving the Indenture Trustee or the Collateral Agent of any fees, reimbursement, or indemnification, to which the Indenture Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is entitled, for which a waiver shall require the written consent of the Indenture Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

-61-


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, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with such waiver shall be reimbursable to the Indenture Trustee as an Extraordinary Expense from amounts on deposit in the Payment Account.
Section 4.13    Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Noteholder and Note Owner by its acceptance of such Note or an Ownership Interest therein 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, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, 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 and expenses based on time expended, 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 shall not apply to any suit instituted by any Issuer, or to any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate at least 25% of the Aggregate Series Principal Balance, or to any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the Maturity of such Note.
Section 4.14    Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
Each Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; each Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the exercise of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.15    Sale of Collateral.
(a)    The power to effect any public or private sale of any portion of the Collateral Pool pursuant to Section 4.03 or Section 4.04 shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales as to any portion of the Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired until either the entirety of the Collateral Pool shall have been sold or all amounts payable on the Notes, and under this Indenture with respect thereto shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any sale by public announcement made at the time and place of such sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any such sale but such waiver does not apply to any amounts to which the Indenture Trustee is otherwise entitled under Section 5.04.

-62-


(b)    Subject to Section 4.15(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not sell the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool pursuant to Section 4.03 or Section 4.04, unless:
(i)    the Requisite Global Majority consents to or directs the Indenture Trustee to make the related sales; or
(ii)    the proceeds of such liquidation would be greater than or equal to the Aggregate Series Principal Balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not preclude or limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee or its designee to purchase all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale, public or private.
(c)    In connection with a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral Pool:
(i)    any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase money therefor, deliver any Outstanding Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;
(ii)    the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver, without recourse, an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral Pool in connection with a sale thereof;
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Issuers to transfer and convey any such Issuer’s interest in any portion of the Collateral Pool in connection with a sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such sale; and
(iv)    no purchaser or transferee at such a sale shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Collateral may be sold pursuant to this Section 4.15 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Notes have been accelerated.
Section 4.16    Action on Notes.
The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of the Mortgages and this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee, any Series Enhancer or the Noteholders shall be impaired by

-63-


the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against any Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral Pool.
ARTICLE V    

THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
The Issuers hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Indenture Trustee, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in place and stead of the Issuers and in the name of the Issuers or in its own name or in the name of a nominee, from time to time in the Indenture Trustee’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Indenture, all as set forth in this Section. Such designation shall not impose upon the Indenture Trustee, or release or diminish, the Issuer’s obligations under any of the Transaction Documents. The Indenture Trustee shall also perform all of the duties and obligations required of it under the Property Management Agreement (it being understood and agreed that all limitations of liabilities, indemnities, exculpatory provisions and similar matters set forth herein shall apply to the Indenture Trustee’s performance of such duties and obligations).
(h)    The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Indenture shall be as follows:
(iii)    The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture that it may deem advisable in order to enforce the provisions hereof or to take any action with respect to a default or an Event of Default hereunder, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect hereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders. The Issuers shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, at the applicable Issuers’ expense, a UCC Financing Statement and any continuation statements, describing such Issuers as debtor, the Indenture Trustee as secured party and the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool as the collateral, in all appropriate locations in the State of Delaware promptly following the initial issuance of each Series of Notes, and within six months prior to each fifth anniversary of the original filing. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and obligated to make, at the expense of the applicable Issuers, all required filings and refilings with respect to which the Indenture Trustee receives written direction from an Issuer, necessary to preserve the liens created by the Mortgages and this Indenture as provided therein and herein. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action to exercise or enforce the trusts hereby created which, in the opinion of the Indenture Trustee, shall be likely to involve expense or liability to the Indenture Trustee, unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an agreement satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion to indemnify it against such liability and expense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the covenants or

-64-


agreements contained herein, or in any other instruments to be performed or observed by the Issuers.
(iv)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Indenture Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provisions of this Indenture, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in the form required by this Indenture to the extent expressly set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Indenture in a material manner, the Indenture Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected. The Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine. In administering the trusts hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder directly or through its agents or attorneys; provided, that it shall remain liable for the acts of all such agents and attorneys who are not parties to the Transaction Documents operating in their named capacities under such Transaction Documents. The Indenture Trustee may, at its own expense (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04), consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals to be selected and employed by it, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person nor for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(v)    The Indenture Trustee shall not, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(a)(i), have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of any recording, filing or registration of any instrument or other document (including any UCC Financing Statements), or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to determine if any such instrument or other document is in a form suitable for recording, filing or registration, and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any duty to make, arrange or ensure the completion of the payment of any fees, charges or taxes in connection therewith.
(vi)    Whenever in performing its duties hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Indenture Trustee, rely upon (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed herein) an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuers or the Property Manager and such Officer’s Certificate shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the faith thereof.
(vii)    Except in its capacity as successor to the Property Manager, the Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations to see to the payment or discharge of any liens (other than the liens of this Indenture and the Mortgages) upon the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool, or to see to the application of any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note secured thereby or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any

-65-


property released from any such lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee, trustor, beneficiary or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any such property. The Indenture Trustee (and any successor trustee or co-trustee in its individual capacity) nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens or encumbrances on the Collateral included in the Collateral Pool, arising as a result of the Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be) acting negligently, in bad faith or with willful misconduct in its capacity as Indenture Trustee (or such successor trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be).
(viii)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to any Person for the use or application of any deposited moneys or of any property or securities or the proceeds thereof that shall be released or withdrawn and distributed in accordance with the provisions hereof or the proceeds thereof that shall be released from the lien hereof or thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Indenture Trustee shall not have any liability for the acts of other parties that are not in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(i)    The rights, duties and liabilities of the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Collateral Pool and this Indenture, in addition to those set forth in Section 5.01(a), shall be as follows:
(ii)    except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, the Indenture Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Indenture Trustee; and
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Indenture Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, to the extent expressly set forth herein.
(j)    Subject to Section 4.12, in case an Event of Default known to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Mortgages, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(k)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Indenture Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct, except that:

-66-


(ii)    this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section;
(iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iv)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of any applicable party pursuant to a Transaction Document that is entitled to give such directions under this Indenture or any other Transaction Document relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or exercising or omitting exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and
(v)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Indenture Trustee 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 satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it (if, in the Indenture Trustee's sole determination, the amount of such funds or risk or liability is reasonably expected not to exceed the amount payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 2.11 on the immediately succeeding Payment Date, as applicable, net of the amounts specified in Section 5.04, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be reasonably assured of such repayment) unless such risk or liability relates to the performance of its incidental services, including mailing of notices under Article 4, under this Indenture (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed without implied limitation that the enforcement or exercise of rights and remedies under Article IV and/or commencement of or participation in any legal proceeding does not constitute "incidental services").
(vi)    In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits) even if the Indenture Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damages and regardless of such action.
(vii)    For all purposes under this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or default is received by the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes generally, the Issuers or this Indenture. For purposes of determining the Indenture Trustee's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is made in this Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee is deemed to have notice as described in this Section 5.01(g).

-67-


(viii)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Property Manager, the Issuers, the Special Servicer, the Back-up Manager and without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be under any obligation to monitor, evaluate or verify compliance by any of such parties, or to verify or independently determine the accuracy of information received by the Indenture Trustee from any of them.
(ix)    In the event the Bank is also acting in the capacity of Authenticating Agent, 17g-5 Information Provider, Note Registrar, Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary, the rights, protections, benefits, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall also be afforded to the Bank acting in such capacities.
(x)    The Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts or circumstances beyond its control (such circumstances include but are not limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, or loss or malfunctions of utilities or communications services).
(xi)    The Indenture Trustee shall obtain, verify, and record information that identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an account with the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall ask for the name, address, tax identification number and other information that shall allow the Indenture Trustee to identify the individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the account. The Indenture Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be provided. In accordance with the U.S. Unlawful Internet Gambling Act, the Issuer may not use the Series Accounts or other Citibank, N.A. facilities in the United States to process restricted transactions as such term is defined in U.S. 31 CFR Section 132.2(y). Therefore, neither the Issuer nor any person who has an ownership interest in or control over the Series Accounts may use them to process or facilitate payments for prohibited internet gambling transactions.
(xii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Indenture Trustee (other than information required by any Rating Agency) that the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and are sent by electronic mail will be encrypted. The recipient of the email communication will be required to complete a one-time registration process. Information and assistance on registering and using the email encryption technology can be found at the Indenture Trustee's secure website ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or by calling (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (in the U.S.) or (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ at any time.
(xiii)    In making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee is authorized to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its Affiliates, in each case on an arm's-length basis, whether it or such Affiliate is acting as a subagent of the Indenture Trustee or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. If otherwise qualified, obligations of the Bank or any of its Affiliates shall qualify as Eligible Investments hereunder.

-68-


(xiv)    The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Indenture Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment advisor, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or subcustodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments. Such compensation is not payable or reimbursable under Section 5.04 of this Indenture.
The Indenture Trustee shall perform the duties and obligations specified to be performed by the Indenture Trustee in the Property Management Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents.

Section 5.02    Notice of Defaults.
The Indenture Trustee, promptly but not later than two (2) Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of any default under this Indenture, shall notify the Issuers, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies of any such default (a “Notice of Default”), unless all such defaults known to the Indenture Trustee shall have been cured before the giving of such notice or unless the same is rescinded and annulled, or waived in accordance with the terms hereof. For the purpose of this Section 5.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.
Section 5.03    Certain Rights of Indenture Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.01, in connection with this Indenture:
(m)    the Indenture Trustee may request and rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties as may be required by such party or parties pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, as applicable;
(n)    any request or direction of an Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Issuer Request or Issuer Order and any resolution of the board of directors of an Issuer may be sufficiently evidenced by a Resolution;
(o)    whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Indenture Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Indenture Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;
(p)    the Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel rendered thereby shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

The Issuers, and any director, officer, employee or agent of any Issuer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. No Issuer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its duties under this Indenture and which in its opinion does not involve it in any expenses or liability; provided, however, that any such Issuer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or

-106-


desirable with respect to this Indenture and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders hereunder.

In the event that any such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 12.19, the applicable Issuer, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee against such Issuer or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving an Issuer.
Section 12.20    Non-Recourse.
The obligations of each Issuer under this Indenture are solely the obligations of such Issuer. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Indenture against any member, employee, officer or director of such Issuer. Fees, expenses, costs or other obligations payable by an Issuer hereunder shall be payable by such Issuer only to the extent that funds are then available or thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.11. In the event that sufficient funds are not available for their payment pursuant to Section 2.11, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses, costs or other obligations shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, such Issuer. Nothing in this Section 12.20 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral Pool.

SPIRIT MASTER FUNDING VII, LLC
NET-LEASE MORTGAGE NOTES, SERIES 2013-[ ]
This Note is one of the Net-Lease Mortgage Notes, Series 2013-[ ] issued by the Issuer pursuant to a Master Indenture, to be dated on or about December 23, 2013 (as amended or supplemented thereafter, the “Master Indenture”),between the Issuer and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series [_____] Indenture Supplement (together with the Master Indenture and any other indenture supplement thereto (each, a “Series Supplement”), the “Indenture”), and will be payable solely from the assets of the Issuers (individually, the “Collateral” and, collectively, the “Collateral Pool”). To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the respective meanings assigned in the Indenture. This Note is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture, to which Indenture the Holder of this Note by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such holder is bound. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
This Note does not purport to summarize the Indenture and reference is made to the Indenture for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby.
The Initial Class Principal Balance of the Series 2013-[ ] Notes (the “Class”) is $[ ]. The Class Principal Balance of such Class and any date of determination, is the Initial Class Principal Balance of such Class, as such amount is reduced by (x) any payments of principal actually made on the Notes of such Class prior to such date of determination and (y) the principal balance of any Notes of such Class canceled prior to the date of determination. Payments of principal of the Notes will be made in accordance with the provisions of, and subject to the limitations in, the Indenture. The Notes are subject to optional redemption as described in the Indenture.
Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, payments of any interest, principal and other amounts payable on this Note shall be made on the Class of Notes to which this Note belongs, pro rata among the Notes of such Class based on their respective Note Principal Balance, on the 20th day of each calendar month or, if any such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Payment Date”), commencing on the first Payment Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the related Record Date. All payments made under the Indenture on this Note will be made by the Indenture Trustee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Noteholder shall have provided the Indenture Trustee with wiring instructions prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent payments), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Noteholder as it appears in the Note Register as of the related Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note on the Final Payment Date will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payments will be made with respect to a Note that has previously been surrendered as contemplated by the

A-1-6



preceding sentence or, with limited exception, that should have been surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence.
The Notes are limited in right of payment to certain distributions on the Mortgage Loans, Mortgaged Properties and Leases and the other Collateral included in the Collateral Pool, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Indenture. This Note does not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, Spirit Realty, L.P. or any affiliate thereof (other than the Issuer) and is not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality or any other Person.
Any payment to the Holder of this Note in reduction of the Note Principal Balance hereof is binding on such Holder and all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such payment is made upon this Note.
The Class of Notes to which this Note belongs are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations of a like Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.
The Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar and any agent of any thereof may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Registrar or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, and each beneficial owner of such Note hereby covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against the Issuer, or join in instituting against the Issuer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law.
The Indenture, the Property Management Agreement, any Property Transfer Agreements and the Notes are subject to amendment, including by supplemental indenture, from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including in circumstances which do not require the consent of any or all Noteholders.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Indenture Trustee, by manual signature, the Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid for any purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Collateral Pool (to the extent of its rights therein) for payments hereunder.

The Initial Class Principal Balance of the Series 2013-[ ] Notes (the “Class”) is $[ ].

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment on this Note on the Final Payment Date will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at the offices of the Indenture Trustee or such other location specified in the notice to the Holder hereof of such final payment.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the offices of the Note Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same Aggregate Series Principal Balance will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

A-2-7



or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Note.

Attention: Agency and Trust – Spirit Master Finding VII
Re:
Spirit Master Funding VII, LLC, Net-Lease Mortgage Notes, Series 20[ ]-[ ] (the “Notes”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by ___________ (the “Transferor”) to _____________ (the “Transferee”) of Class A-[1][2] Notes having an initial Aggregate Series Principal Balance as of [_____], 20[ ] (the “Closing Date”) of $[_________] (the “Transferred Notes”). The Notes, including the Transferred Notes, were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, to be dated on or about December 23, 2013 (as amended or supplemented thereafter, the “Master Indenture”), between Spirit Master Funding VII, LLC (the “Issuer”) and Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “Indenture Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series 20[ ]-[ ] Supplement (together with the Master Indenture and any other indenture supplement thereto (each, a “Supplement”), the “Indenture”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Note Registrar, and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferee, that:
1.    The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Notes with the full right to transfer such Notes free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.
2.    Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or other disposition of any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Note under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or would render the disposition of any Note a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Note pursuant to the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

C-1-1


[3.    The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a Non-U.S. Person that is not acquiring the Transferred Notes for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S) and is acquiring the Transferred Notes in an offshore transaction outside the United States. No directed selling efforts have been made in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or 904(b) of Regulation S, as applicable. The transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.]
[3.    The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) purchasing for its own account (with respect to which the transferee exercises sole investment discretion) or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer and the Notes are being transferred in accordance with Rule 144A. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):
___
(a)    The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
___
(b)    The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the SEC or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
___
(c)    The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Note in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
___
(d)    A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of

C-1-2


securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.
4.    The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
(a)
the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee’s “family of investment companies”, if the Transferee is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;
(b)

ANNEX B TO EXHIBIT D-1
QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER STATUS UNDER SECURITIES ACT RULE 144A
[for Transferees that are Registered Investment Companies]
The undersigned hereby certifies as follows to [name of Transferor (the “Transferor”) and Citibank, N.A., as Note Registrar, with respect to the Notes being transferred (the “Transferred Notes”) as described in the Transferee Certificate to which this certification relates and to which this certification is an Annex:
1.    As indicated below, the undersigned is the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the entity purchasing the Transferred Notes (the “Transferee”) or, if the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A(“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because the Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies (as defined below), is an executive officer of the investment adviser (the “Adviser”).
2.    The Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A because (i) the Transferee is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (ii) as marked below, the Transferee alone owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis, or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies owned, at least $100,000,000 in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year. For purposes of determining the amount of securities owned by the Transferee or the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the cost of such securities was used, unless the Transferee or any member of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, as the case may be, reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities of such entity were valued at market:
      
The Transferee owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis $                  in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
      
The Transferee is part of a Family of Investment Companies that owned in the aggregate $                        in securities (other than the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance with Rule 144A).
3. The term “Family of Investment Companies” as used herein means two or
more registered investment companies (or series thereof) that have the same investment adviser or investment advisers that are affiliated (by virtue of being majority owned subsidiaries of the same parent or because one investment adviser is a majority owned subsidiary of the other).
4.    The term “securities” as used herein does not include (i) securities of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee or are part of the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, (ii) bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit, (iii) loan participations, (iv) repurchase agreements, (v) securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement and (vi) currency, interest rate and commodity swaps. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, or owned by the Transferee’s Family of Investment Companies, the securities referred to in this paragraph were excluded.
5.    The Transferee is familiar with Rule 144A and understands that the parties to which this certification is being made are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein because one or more sales to the Transferee will be in reliance on Rule 144A.
Will the Transferee be purchasing the Transferred Notes
                        only for the Transferee’s own account?
Yes    No
6.    If the answer to the foregoing question is “no,” then in each case where the Transferee is purchasing for an account other than its own, such account belongs to a third party that is itself a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A, and the “qualified institutional buyer” status of such third party has been established by the Transferee through one or more of the appropriate methods contemplated by Rule 144A.
7.    The undersigned will notify the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice, the Transferee’s purchase of the Transferred Notes will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification by the undersigned as of the date of such purchase.

SCHEDULE I-A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
WITH RESPECT TO MORTGAGE LOANS

(a)Solely with respect to any Mortgage Loan conveyed by such Originator to the Issuer (the “Originator Conveyed Loans”), (i) immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer, such Originator had good and insurable fee title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, the Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and other interests on, in or to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) such transfer and assignment from such Originator to the Issuer of the Mortgage Loan by collateral assignment and by individual allonges of the Mortgage Notes and Assignments of the Mortgages in blank validly assigns all of such Originator’s right, title and ownership of the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer (and, with respect to the Mortgage, to the Collateral Agent) free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. Solely with respect any Mortgage Loan acquired by the Issuer from a Person other than an Originator (the “Third Party Loans”), the Issuer has good and insurable fee title to, and is the sole owner and holder of, the Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances and other interests on, in or to the Mortgage Loan.
(a)    The Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) or the seller (with respect to Third Party Loans) has full right and authority to sell, contribute, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer. The entire agreement with the applicable Originator (whether originated by such Originator or a different originator) is contained in the Loan Documents and there are no warranties, agreements or options regarding such Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property not set forth therein. Other than the Loan Documents, there are no agreements between any predecessor in interest in the Mortgage Loan and the Borrower. With respect to Third Party Loans, to the Issuer’s knowledge, the third party from whom the Issuer obtained the Mortgaged Property had full right and authority to sell, contribute, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer.
(b)    With respect to any Originator Conveyed Loan, the information pertaining to the Mortgage Loan set forth in the mortgage loan schedule attached to the related Property Transfer Agreement was true and correct in all material respects as of the related Transfer Date. With respect to any Third Party Loan, the information pertaining to the Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, if any, attached to the related Property Transfer Agreement was, to the Issuer’s knowledge, true and correct in all material respects as of the date the Issuer acquired the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan was originated (in the case of Mortgage Loans originated by an Originator) or acquired by such Originator (in the case of all other Originator Conveyed Loans) or acquired by the Issuer (in the case of any Third Party Loan) in accordance with, the then current policies and procedures constituting mortgage loan underwriting, property acquisition and lease underwriting standards of the Originators (the “Underwriting Guidelines”) (at the time of such origination or acquisition) in all material respects. The related Loan File contains all of the documents and instruments required to be contained therein.
(c)    With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage constitutes a valid, legally binding and enforceable first priority lien upon the related Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan and the improvements located thereon and forming a part thereof, in each case to the extent securing such Mortgage Loan, prior to all other liens and encumbrances, except for Permitted Exceptions. The lien of the Mortgage is insured by an American Land Title Association (or an equivalent form thereof as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction) mortgagee’s title insurance policy (a “Title Policy”), issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company, insuring the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan after all advances of principal, subject only to Permitted Exceptions (or, if a Title Policy has not yet been issued in respect of the Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the foregoing description is evidenced by a commitment for title insurance “marked up” (or by “pro-forma” otherwise agreed to in a closing instruction letter countersigned by the title company) as of the closing date of the Mortgage Loan). Each 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 material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) nor the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Loans) has, by act or omission, done anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Immediately following the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loan to the Issuer, such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of the Issuer without the consent of or notice to the insurer. The following are “Permitted Exceptions” with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan: (i) liens for real estate taxes and special assessments not yet due and payable or due but not yet delinquent, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights-of-way, easements and other matters of public record, such exceptions being of a type or nature that are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, and (iii) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, which matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the value of the Mortgage Loan, or do not materially interfere or restrict the current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property relating to the Mortgage Loan or do not materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net operating income sufficient to service the Mortgage Loan. Financing Statements have been filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and recording), in all public places necessary to perfect a valid first priority security interest in all items of personal property defined as part of the Mortgaged Property and in all cases, subject to a purchase money security interest and to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law solely by recording or filing Financing Statements.
(d)    Such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) or the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Loans) has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or Mortgage Note.
(e)    The Borrower has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration by the tenant (if any) then existing under the lease (if any) then in effect with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.
(f)    There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to the payment or performance obligations of the Mortgage Loan.
(g)    The Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan is free and clear of any damage that would materially and adversely affect its value as security for the Mortgage Loan. No proceeding for the condemnation of all or any material portion of the Mortgaged Property has been commenced.
(h)    The Mortgage Loan complied with all applicable usury laws in effect at its date of origination.
(i)    The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, closing and recording the Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, mortgage recording taxes and recording and filing fees relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan, have been paid. Any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement by the Borrower and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor that were to have been complied with have been complied with.
(j)    The Borrower under the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and all other Loan Documents had the power, authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver the same, and, as applicable, such Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other Loan Documents have been duly authorized, properly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(k)    All improvements upon the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan are insured under insurance policies (as described, with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans, in a schedule to the related Property Transfer Agreement entitled the “Insurance Schedule”). The Loan Documents require the Borrower to maintain, or cause the tenant to maintain, insurance coverage (i) with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans, as described on the Insurance Schedule and (ii) with respect to all Mortgage Loans, all insurance required under applicable law including, without limitation, insurance against loss by hazards with extended coverage in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the full replacement cost of the improvements located on such Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, flood insurance if any portion of the improvements located upon the Mortgaged Property was, at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, in a flood zone area as identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a 100 year flood zone or special hazard area, and flood insurance was available under the then current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier. The Loan Documents require the Borrower to maintain, or to cause the tenant to maintain, on the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan a fire and extended perils insurance policy, in an amount not less than the replacement cost and the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged Property. All such insurance policies contain a standard “additional insured” clause (or similar clause) naming the Borrower (as landlord under the related Lease, if applicable), its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, subsequent owners of the Mortgaged Property), as additional insured, and may not be reduced, terminated or canceled without thirty and, in some cases, ten days’ prior written notice to the additional insured. In addition, the Mortgage requires the Borrower to (i) cause the holder of the Mortgage to be named as an additional insured mortgagee, and (ii) maintain (or to require the tenant to maintain) in respect of the Mortgaged Property workers’ compensation insurance (if applicable), commercial general liability insurance in amounts generally required by such holder of the Mortgage, and at least six months’ rental or business interruption insurance. The related Loan Documents obligate the Borrower to maintain (or cause the tenant to maintain) such insurance and, at such Borrower’s failure to do so, authorizes the mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Borrower’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from such Borrower. Each such insurance policy, as applicable, is required to name the holder of the Mortgage as an additional insured or contain a mortgagee endorsement naming the holder of the Mortgage as loss payee and requires prior notice to the holder of the Mortgage of termination or cancellation, and no such notice has been received, including any notice of nonpayment of premiums, that has not been cured. There have been no acts or omissions that would impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the benefits of the mortgage endorsement. All insurance contemplated in this section is maintained with insurance companies with a claims paying ability rated at least “A: VIII” by A. M. Best’s Key Rating Guide and at least “A” by S&P, and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property subject to the policy, as applicable, is located.
(l)    The Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan was subject to one or more environmental site assessments or reports (or an update of a previously conducted assessment or report) prior to the origination of such Mortgage Loan. Neither such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) nor the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Loans) has knowledge of any material and adverse environmental conditions or circumstance affecting such Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the related assessment or report(s). There are no material and adverse environmental conditions or circumstances affecting the Mortgaged Property securing any such Mortgage Loan other than, with respect to any adverse environmental condition described in such report, those conditions for which either (a) an environmental insurance policy has been obtained from an insurer meeting the requirements set forth in the Property Management Agreement, with limits the Issuer reasonably believes to be sufficient to satisfy the remediation of and any potential Issuer or Originator liability derivative of such condition, or (b) remediation has been completed and, thereafter, to the extent that such report or remediation program is so recommended: (i) a program of annual integrity testing and/or monitoring was recommended and implemented in connection with the Mortgaged Property securing any such Mortgage Loan or an adjacent or neighboring property; (ii) an operations and maintenance plan or periodic monitoring of such Mortgaged Property or nearby properties was recommended and implemented; or (iii) a follow-up plan was otherwise required to be taken under CERCLA or under regulations established thereunder from time to time by the Environmental Protection Agency, and such plan has been implemented in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. To the extent required by the then current Underwriting Guidelines (1) with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans, at the time of origination (in the case of Originator Conveyed Loans originated by an Originator) or acquisition (in the case of all other Originator Conveyed Loans) or (2) with respect to any Third Party Loans, at the time of acquisition by the Issuer, it was determined (or had previously been determined) that adequate funding was available for such program or plan, as applicable. The related Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) or the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Loans) has not taken any action with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan that could subject the Issuer, or its successors and assigns in respect of the Mortgage Loan, to any liability under CERCLA or any other applicable federal, state or local environmental law, and neither the Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) nor the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Loans) has received any actual notice of a material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or local environmental law with respect to the Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan that was not disclosed in the related report. The Mortgage or other Loan Documents require the Borrower (and, if applicable, the Leases related thereto, require the tenant relating thereto) to comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.

(o)    There are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding lienable charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may become a lien of priority equal to or higher than the lien of the Mortgage. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes and assessments shall not be considered unpaid until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.
(p)    Except for any Mortgage Loan secured primarily by equipment used in the operation of a Mortgaged Property, the interest of the Borrower in the Mortgaged Property consists of a fee simple estate in real property.
(q)    The Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest.
(r)    The assignment of the Mortgage referred to in the Loan File constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from the relevant assignor to the Issuer or to the Collateral Agent. The Assignment of Leases and Rents set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and, subject only to Permitted Exceptions, enforceable first priority lien and first priority security interest in the Borrower’s interest in all leases, subleases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the Mortgage, and each assignor thereunder has the full right to assign the same. The related assignment of Mortgage or any assignment of leases and rents not included in a Mortgage, executed and delivered in favor of the Issuer is in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such assignment of leases and rents.
(s)    All escrow deposits relating to the Mortgage Loan that are required to be deposited with the related holder of the Mortgage Loan or its agent have been so deposited.
(t)    The Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan was and is free and clear of any mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens or liens in the nature thereof which create a lien prior to that created by the Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the Title Policy referred to in paragraph (e) above.

(v)    (i) There exists no material default, breach or event of acceleration under the Mortgage Loan or any of the Loan Documents or the related lease, if any, (ii) there exists no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a material default, breach or event of acceleration, (iii) no payment is, or solely with respect to Originator Conveyed loans has previously been during any time owned by the applicable Originator, 30 or more days delinquent, and (iv) no payment on any related lease is or, solely with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans, has previously been during any time owned by the applicable Originator, 30 or more days delinquent; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered or addressed by any other representation and warranty made by such Originator of the Issuer with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
(w)    In connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan originated by an Originator, the applicable Originator (in the case of Originator Conveyed Loans) or the Issuer or an affiliate thereof (in the case of Third Party Loans) inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan by inspection or appraisal, in either case as required in the Underwriting Guidelines then in effect at the time of such origination or acquisition.
(x)    Unless specified in the Lease File, the Mortgage Loan contains no equity participation by or shared appreciation rights in the lender or beneficiary under the Mortgage, and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan, or for negative amortization.
(y)    No holder of the Mortgage Loan has advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan (other than amounts paid by any tenant as specifically provided under the related lease).
(z)    To the applicable Originator’s knowledge (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) or to the Issuer’s knowledge (with respect to Third Party Loans), in each case based on due diligence customarily performed in the origination or acquisition of comparable mortgage loans by such Originator or Issuer, as applicable, as of the date of origination (in the case of Originator Conveyed Loans originated by an Originator) or acquisition (in the case of other Mortgage Loans) of the Mortgage Loans by such Originator or Issuer, as applicable, the related Borrowers, were in compliance with all applicable laws relating to the ownership and operation of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loan as they were then operated and were in possession of all material licenses, permits and authorizations required by applicable laws for the ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Properties as they were operated.

(bb)    The Mortgage or Mortgage Note, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions (subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (l) above) such as to render the rights and remedies of the holders thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including the right of foreclosure under the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan is located.
(cc)    The Mortgage provides that insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds will be applied for one of the following purposes: to restore or repair the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan; to repay the principal of the Mortgage Loan; or to be used as otherwise directed by the holder of such Mortgage.
(dd)    There are no actions, suits, legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings or investigations by or before any court or governmental authority or, to the best of such Originator’s (with respect to Originator Conveyed Loans) or Issuer’s (with respect to Third Party Loans) knowledge, as applicable, pending against or affecting the Borrower or the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan that, if determined adversely to such Borrower or the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan, would materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan or the ability of the Borrower to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under the Mortgage Loan or the related Lease, as applicable.
(ee)    If the Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, is properly designated and serving under such Mortgage. Except in connection with a trustee’s sale or as otherwise required by applicable law, after default by the Borrower, no fees or expenses are payable to such trustee.
(ff)    Except in cases where either (i) a release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan was contemplated at origination of the Mortgage Loan and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) release is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal requirements and the payment of a release price, neither the Mortgage Note nor the Mortgage requires the holder thereof to release all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan from the lien of the Mortgage except upon payment in full of all amounts due under the Mortgage Loan.
(gg)    The Mortgage does not permit the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan to be encumbered by any lien junior to or of equal priority with the lien of the Mortgage (excluding any lien relating to another Mortgage Loan that is cross collateralized with the Mortgage Loan) without the prior written consent of the holder thereof.

(ii)    As of the date of origination (in the case of Originator Conveyed Loans originated by an Originator) or acquisition (in the case of any other Originator Conveyed Loans) by an Originator or acquisition (in the case of Third Party Loans) by the Issuer (and to the Issuer’s knowledge), the Borrower (if not a natural person) was duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the state of its jurisdiction.
(jj)    The Mortgage Loan contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan, or any controlling interest in the Borrower, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold.
(kk)    The Loan Documents for the Mortgage Loan generally provide that the Borrower is to provide periodic financial and operating reports including, without limitation, annual profit and loss statements, statements of cash flow and other related information that such Issuer reasonably requests from time to time.
(ll)    To such Originator’s actual knowledge, based upon zoning letters, zoning reports, the Title Policy insuring the lien of the Mortgage, historical use and/or other due diligence customarily performed by such Originator in connection with the origination or acquisition, as applicable, of comparable mortgage loans, the improvements located on or forming part of such Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan comply in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and ordinances (except to the extent that they may constitute legal non-conforming uses).
(mm)    Any Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan is located within one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.
(nn)    With respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by Mortgaged Property located in “seismic zones” 3 or 4, the Borrower has obtained, and is required under the Loan Documents to maintain, or is required to cause the applicable tenant to maintain (and the tenant has obtained), or the Issuer has obtained earthquake insurance with respect to the improvements on and forming a part of such Mortgaged Property.

(2)    except with respect to those Mortgaged Properties with respect to which the Tenant can terminate the related Lease during the last forty-two months of the lease term in the event of a casualty and any insurance proceeds related thereto are payable to the Tenant, the obligations of the Tenant, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay fixed and additional rent, are not affected by reason of: any damage to or destruction of any portion of the leased property; any taking of the leased property or any part thereof by condemnation or otherwise; or any prohibition, limitation, interruption, cessation, restriction, prevention or interference of the Tenant’s use, occupancy or enjoyment of the leased property, except the Tenant’s rights to ▇▇▇▇▇ or terminate its obligation to pay fixed or additional rent are coupled with insurance proceeds or condemnation awards going to the lessor; or the right to ▇▇▇▇▇ as a result of a landlord’s default;
(3)    neither such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) nor Issuer (with respect to Third Party Properties), as applicable, as lessor under the Lease, has any monetary obligation under the Lease that has not been satisfied (other than obligations customary for a triple net lease lessor or, in the case of Mortgaged Properties subject to Ground Leases, a Ground Lease lessor);
(4)    the Tenant has not been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations under the terms of the Lease;
(5)    all obligations related to the initial construction of the improvements on the Mortgaged Property have been satisfied and, except for the obligation to rebuild such improvements after a casualty (which obligation is limited by available insurance proceeds), neither such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) nor Issuer (with respect to Third Party Properties), as applicable, has any nonmonetary obligations under the Lease (other than obligations customary for a triple net lease lessor or, in the case of Mortgaged Properties subject to Ground Leases, a Ground Lease lessor) and has made no representation or warranty under the Lease, the breach of which would result in the abatement of rent, a right of setoff or termination of the Lease;
(6)    there is no right of rescission, set-off, abatement (except in the case of casualty or condemnation), diminution, defense or counterclaim to the Lease, nor does the operation of any of the terms of the Lease, or the exercise of any rights thereunder, render the Lease unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, defense or counterclaim, and no such right has been asserted;
(7)    the Tenant has agreed to indemnify the lessor from any claims of any nature relating to the Lease and the related Mortgaged Property other than the lessor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, including, without limitation, arising as a result of violations of environmental and hazardous waste laws resulting from the Tenant’s operation of the property;
(8)    any obligation or liability imposed on the lessor by any easement or reciprocal easement agreement is also an obligation of the Tenant under the Lease;
(9)    the Tenant is required to make rental payments as directed by the lessor and its successors and assigns; and
(10)    except in certain cases where the Tenant may exercise a right of first refusal, the Lease is freely assignable by the lessor and its successors and assigns to any person without the consent of the Tenant, and in the event the lessor’s interest is so assigned, the Tenant is obligated to recognize the assignee as lessor under such Lease, whether under the Lease or by operation of law.
(w)    In connection with Leases with a Guaranty:
(1)    such Guaranty, on its face, is unconditional, irrevocable and absolute, and is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection and contains no conditions to such payment, other than a notice and right to cure; and the Guaranty provides that it is the guaranty of both the performance and payment of the financial obligations of the Tenant under the Lease and does not provide for offset, counterclaim or defense; and
(2)    such Guaranty is binding on the successors and assigns of the guarantor and inures to the benefit of the lessor’s successors and assigns and cannot be released or amended without the lessor’s consent or unless a predetermined performance threshold is achieved.
(x)    Solely with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties, no fraudulent acts were committed by the applicable Originator during the origination process with respect to the Lease related to such Mortgaged Property.
(y)    In connection with the acquisition of each Mortgaged Property, such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) or the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Properties), as applicable, inspected or caused to be inspected the Mortgaged Property by inspection, appraisal or otherwise as required in such Underwriting Guidelines then in effect at the time of such acquisition.
(z)    The origination, servicing and collection of Monthly Lease Payments on such Lease is in all respects legal, proper and prudent and in accordance with customary industry standards.
(aa)    To the extent required under applicable law, such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) or the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Properties) was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located, except where such failure to qualify would not result in a material adverse effect on the enforceability of the related Lease.
(bb)    The Mortgaged Property has adequate rights of access to public rights-of-way and is served by utilities, including, without limitation, adequate water, sewer, electricity, gas, telephone, sanitary sewer, and storm drain facilities. All public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Mortgaged Property or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the Mortgaged Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Mortgaged Property without passing over other property or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the Mortgaged Property. All roads necessary for the full use of the Mortgaged Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all governmental authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the Mortgaged Property.
(cc)    The Lease File contains (or Spirit Realty or an affiliate thereof holds) a survey with respect to such Mortgaged Property, which survey was deemed sufficient to delete the standard title survey exception (to the extent the deletion of such exception is available in the related state).
(dd)    [RESERVED].
(ee)    Each Originator Conveyed Property was acquired and each related Lease conveyed to the Issuer originated (in the case of Leases originated by an Originator) or acquired (in the case of any other Lease) by such Originator in all material respects in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of such origination or acquisition. Each Third Party Property and related Lease was acquired by the Issuer in all material respects in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of such acquisition.
(ff)    No adverse selection was employed in selecting such Lease.
(gg)    With respect to any Mortgaged Property which is the subject of a Master Lease (noting that not all properties subject to such Master Lease are included as Mortgaged Properties in the Collateral Pool), the lessor under the Master Lease has assigned its interest in the Leases of the Mortgaged Properties to such Originator (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) or the Issuer (with respect to Third Party Properties) and such Originator or the Issuer, as applicable, and the other lessors under the Master Leases have entered into inter-lessor agreements by which the rents and the rights to enforce the provisions of the Master Leases pertinent to any of the Mortgaged Properties have also been assigned to such Originator or the Issuer, as applicable.
(hh)    Such Mortgaged Property is (i) free of any damage that would materially and adversely affect the use or value of such Mortgaged Property and (ii) in good repair and condition so as not to materially and adversely affect the use or value of such Mortgaged Property; and all building systems contained in such Mortgaged Property are in good working order so as not to materially and adversely affect the use or value of such Mortgaged Property.
(ii)    All security deposits collected in connection with such Mortgaged Property are being held in accordance with all applicable laws.
(jj)    To the Originator’s (with respect to Originator Conveyed Properties) or the Issuer’s (with respect to Third Party Properties) actual knowledge, based upon zoning letters, zoning reports, the Title Policy insuring the lien of the Mortgage, historical use and/or other due diligence customarily performed by such party in connection with the acquisition of the Mortgaged Property, the improvements located on or forming part of such Mortgaged Property comply in all material respects with applicable zoning laws and ordinances (except to the extent that they may constitute legal non-conforming uses), including the existence of a certificate of occupancy.
(kk)    Such Mortgaged Property 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.
Solely for the purposes of this Schedule I-B: (1) a Lease relating to an Originator Conveyed Property shall be deemed to have been originated by the Originator conveying such Lease to the Issuer in the event that it was originated by a person who was an affiliate of such Originator at the time of such origination and (2) an Originator Conveyed Property or related Lease shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Originator conveying such Originator Conveyed Property or related Lease to the Issuer as of the earlier of (x) the date it was acquired by such Originator and (y) the date it was first acquired by a person who was an affiliate (at the time of such acquisition) of such Originator. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule I-B shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture, or if not defined therein, in the Property Management Agreement.
