In addition, whenever Buyer has a decision or right of determination, opinion or request, exercises any right given to it to agree, disagree, accept, consent, grant waivers, take action or no action or to approve or disapprove (or any similar language or terms), or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory or acceptable to or approved by Buyer (or any similar language or terms), the decision of Buyer with respect thereto shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer, and such decision shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein.

ARTICLE 3

THE TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.01 Procedures.

(a) From time to time during the Funding Period, but not more frequently than four (4) times per week, with not less than three (3) business days prior written notice to Buyer, Seller may request Buyer to enter into a proposed Transaction by sending Buyer a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A (“Transaction Request”), which Transaction Request shall: (i) describe the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related Underlying Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmit a complete Underwriting

- 34 -

Package for each proposed Asset, (iii) set forth the Representation Exceptions requested, if any, with respect to each proposed Asset, and (iv) indicate the amount of all then-currently unfunded future funding obligations, and the portion thereof for which Seller intends to submit Future Funding Transaction Requests under Section 3.10. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer. Buyer shall conduct such review of the Underwriting Package and each such Asset as Buyer determines appropriate. Buyer shall determine whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of the proposed Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions. In connection with such review and determination, Buyer may also consider the pro forma effect that acquiring the proposed Purchased Asset would have on the concentrations of specific asset categories. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the Transactions on the basis of all such representations and warranties and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting Package, and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting Package will only be acceptable to Buyer if disclosed in writing to Buyer by Seller in advance of the related Purchase Date, and then only if Buyer opts to purchase the related Purchased Asset from Seller notwithstanding such incompleteness and inaccuracies. In the event of a Representation Breach (other than an Approved Representation Exception), Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days, repurchase the related Asset or Assets in accordance with Section 3.05.

(b) Buyer shall give Seller notice of the date when Buyer has received a complete Transaction Request, together with the Underwriting Package, supplemental materials and any other documentation required pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or otherwise required under any Repurchase Documents. Buyer shall communicate to Seller a preliminary non-binding determination of whether or not it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, and if so, on what terms and conditions, (I) within five (5) Business Days after such date in connection with the evaluation of a single proposed Purchased Asset, and (II) within ten (10) Business Days after such date in connection with the evaluation of two (2) or more proposed Purchased Assets, and if its preliminary determination is favorable, by what date Buyer expects to communicate to Seller a final non-binding indication of its determination. In addition, Buyer shall provide such final, non-binding determination to Seller (I) within five (5) Business Days thereafter in connection with the evaluation of a single proposed Purchased Asset, and (II) within ten (10) Business Days thereafter in connection with the evaluation of two (2) or more Purchased Assets. If Buyer has not communicated its final non-binding indication to Seller by such date, Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase any such Asset.

(c) If Buyer communicates to Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, Seller shall deliver to Buyer an executed preliminary Confirmation for such Transaction, describing each such Asset and its proposed Purchase Date, Market Value, Applicable Percentage, Purchase Price and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require prior to the related Purchase Date. If Buyer requires changes to the preliminary Confirmation, Seller shall make such changes and re-execute the preliminary Confirmation. If Buyer determines to enter into the Transaction on the terms described in the preliminary Confirmation, Buyer shall promptly execute and return the same to Seller, which shall thereupon become effective as the Confirmation of the Transaction. Buyer’s approval of the purchase of an Asset on such terms and conditions as Buyer may require shall be evidenced only by its execution and delivery of the related Confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt,

- 35 -

Buyer shall not (i) be bound by any preliminary or final non-binding determination referred to above, (ii) be deemed to have approved the purchase of an Asset by virtue of the approval or entering into by Buyer of a rate lock agreement, interest rate protection agreement, total return swap or any other agreement with respect to such Asset, or (iii) be obligated to purchase an Asset notwithstanding a Confirmation executed by the Parties unless and until all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived by Buyer.

(d) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible, but in no way shall be construed as evidence of Buyer’s agreement to subsequently purchase additional amounts of, or other, Assets. If terms in a Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. Whenever the Applicable Percentage or any other term of a Transaction (other than the Pricing Rate, Market Value and outstanding Purchase Price) with respect to an Asset is revised or adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such revision or adjustment and that is otherwise acceptable to the Parties shall be prepared by Seller and executed by the Parties.

(e) The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Asset or Purchased Asset shall in no way affect any rights Buyer may have under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise with respect to any representations or warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Asset or Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset.

(f) No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would exist as a result of such Transaction, (ii) the Repurchase Date for the Purchased Assets subject to such Transaction would be later than the Maturity Date, (iii) the proposed Purchased Asset does not qualify as an Eligible Asset, (iv) after giving effect to such Transaction, the Aggregate Amount Outstanding would exceed the Maximum Amount, and no additional Transactions other than Future Funding Transactions pursuant to Section 3.10 shall be entered into after the Funding Expiration Date, (v) if Buyer determines not to enter into any such Transaction for any reason or for no reason, (vi) all Purchased Asset Documents have not been delivered to Custodian in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, or (vii) the Facility Debt Yield Test is then-currently being breached.

(g) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01, solely with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, a copy of the related Transaction Request shall be delivered by Seller to Bailee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Purchase Date, to be held in escrow by Bailee on behalf of Buyer pending finalization of the Transaction.

- 36 -

(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01 or any contrary provisions set forth in the Custodial Agreement, solely with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset:

(i) by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Purchase Date, Seller or Bailee shall deliver signed .pdf copies of the Purchased Asset Documents to Custodian via electronic mail, and Seller shall deliver the appropriate written third-party wire transfer instructions to Buyer;

(ii) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the related Purchase Date, (A) Bailee shall deliver an executed .pdf copy of the Bailee Agreement (as such term is defined in the Custodial Agreement) to Seller, Buyer and Custodian by electronic mail and (B) if Buyer has previously received the trust receipt in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of the Custodial Agreement, determined that all other applicable conditions in this Agreement, including without limitation those set forth in Section 6.02 hereof, have been satisfied, and otherwise has agreed to purchase the related Wet Mortgage Asset, Buyer shall (I) execute and deliver a .pdf copy of the related Confirmation to Seller and Bailee via electronic mail and (II) wire funds in the amount of the related Purchase Price for the related Wet Mortgage Asset in accordance with the wire transfer instructions that were previously delivered to Buyer by Seller; and

(iii) within three (3) Business Days after the applicable Purchase Date with respect to any Wet Mortgage Asset, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (A) to Custodian, the complete original Mortgage Asset File with respect to such Wet Mortgage Asset, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement, and (B) to Buyer, the complete original Underwriting Package with respect to the related Wet Mortgage Assets purchased by Buyer; provided, that if Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered within three (3) Business Days, (A) any Basic Mortgage Asset Document to Custodian that is required by its terms to be recorded, due to a delay caused solely by the public recording office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation, then Seller shall deliver to Custodian (x) within three (3) Business Days of the applicable Purchase Date, a copy thereof (certified by Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording) and (y) within thirty (30) days of the applicable Purchase Date, either the original of such document, or a photocopy thereof, with official evidence of submission for recording (including stamp-filed copies, if applicable) thereon and (B) any document in the Mortgage Asset File other than a Basic Mortgage Asset Document, due to an unavoidable delay outside the control of Seller, then Seller shall deliver to Custodian within thirty (30) days of the applicable Purchase Date, either the original of such document, or a photocopy thereof certified by Seller to be a true and correct copy of the original. For the avoidance of doubt (A) Seller shall, in all cases, deliver the original Mortgage Note or in the case of a Senior Interest consisting of a participation interest, the original participation certificate to Buyer, in each case within three (3) Business Days of the applicable Purchase Date and (B) Buyer may, but shall not obligated to, consent to such later date for delivery of any part of the Mortgage Asset File as Buyer as Buyer sees fit, in Buyer’s sole discretion.

- 37 -

Section 3.02 Transfer of Purchased Assets; Servicing Rights. On the Purchase Date for each Purchased Asset, and subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent in Article 6, (a) ownership of and title to such Purchased Asset shall be transferred to and vest in Buyer or its designee against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to the account of Seller specified in Annex I (or if not specified therein, in the related Confirmation or as directed by Seller), and (b) Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing-released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest (except with respect to any Retained Interests) in and to such Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. Subject to this Agreement, during the Funding Period Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but Seller may not substitute other Eligible Assets for Purchased Assets. Buyer has the right to designate each Servicer of the Purchased Assets. The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Purchased Assets under this Agreement; and, such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Repurchase Documents.

Section 3.03 Maximum Amount. The Aggregate Amount Outstanding as of any date of determination shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. If the Aggregate Amount Outstanding as of any date of determination exceeds the Maximum Amount, Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days, pay to Buyer an amount necessary to reduce the Aggregate Amount Outstanding to an amount equal to or less than the Maximum Amount.

Section 3.04 Early Repurchase Date; Mandatory Repurchases. Seller may terminate any Transaction with respect to any or all Purchased Assets and repurchase such Purchased Assets on any date prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, that (a) Seller irrevocably notifies Buyer at least three (3) Business Days before the proposed Early Repurchase Date identifying the Purchased Asset(s) to be repurchased and the Repurchase Price thereof, (b) Seller delivers a certificate from a Responsible Officer of Seller in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer certifying that no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would exist as a result of such repurchase, there are no other Liens on the remaining Purchased Assets or Pledged Collateral other than Liens granted pursuant to the Repurchase Documents, and such repurchase would not cause Seller to violate the Facility Debt Yield Test, or, if the Facility Debt Yield Test was then not in compliance, would improve the level of noncompliance, (c) if the Early Repurchase Date is not a Remittance Date, Seller pays to Buyer any amount due under Section 12.03, and (d) Seller pays to Buyer any Exit Fee due in accordance with Section 3.08, and Seller thereafter complies with Section 3.05; provided further, if any of the events described in Section 12 result in Buyer’s election to use the Alternative Rate or Buyer’s request for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement and all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets without payment of any Exit Fees no later than five (5) Business Days after such notice is given to Buyer, and such repurchase by Seller shall be otherwise conducted pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 3.04 and each of the other applicable terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should any Margin Deficit exist after giving effect to any repurchase under this Section 3.04, Seller shall also pay the amount of each related Margin Deficit to Buyer at the same time that Seller pays the related Repurchase Price to Buyer hereunder.

- 38 -

In addition to other rights and remedies of Buyer under any Repurchase Document, Seller shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.05, within two (2) Business Days, repurchase any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset, as determined by Buyer.

No additional advance, future funding or any other additional funding shall be permitted in connection with any Purchased Asset, other than pursuant to either (i) a new Transaction Request submitted in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01 or (ii) a new Future Funding Confirmation submitted in accordance with the terms of Section 3.10.

Section 3.05 Repurchase. On the Repurchase Date for each Purchased Asset, Seller shall transfer to Buyer the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of the Repurchase Date and, so long as no Event of Default or unsatisfied Margin Deficit has occurred and is continuing (unless the repurchase of such Purchased Asset would cure such Event of Default or Margin Deficit, as applicable, in all respects and otherwise meets the requirements of this Agreement), Buyer shall transfer to Seller such Purchased Asset, whereupon such Transaction with respect to such Purchased Asset shall terminate; provided, however, that, with respect to any Repurchase Date that occurs on the second Business Day prior to the maturity date (under the related Purchased Asset Documents with respect to such Purchased Asset) for such Purchased Asset by reason of clause (d) of the definition of “Repurchase Date”, settlement of the payment of the Repurchase Price and such amounts may occur up to the second Business Day after such Repurchase Date; provided, further, that Buyer shall have no obligation to transfer to Seller, or release any interest in, such Purchased Asset until Buyer’s receipt of payment in full of the Repurchase Price therefor. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Margin Deficit that is due and payable remains unpaid, upon receipt by Buyer of the Repurchase Price and all other amounts due and owing to Buyer and its Affiliates under this Agreement and each other Repurchase Document as of such Repurchase Date, upon Buyer’s confirmation of the receipt of the Repurchase Price for a Purchased Asset on the Repurchase Date therefor, the security interest of Buyer in such Purchased Asset shall be released. Any such completed transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer, except that Buyer shall represent to Seller, to the extent that good title was transferred and assigned by Seller to Buyer hereunder on the related Purchase Date, that Buyer is the sole owner of such Purchased Asset, free and clear of any other interests or Liens caused by Buyer’s actions or inactions. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Buyer or Deposit Account Bank after payment of the Repurchase Price therefor shall be remitted to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Maturity Date, Seller shall repurchase all Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Repurchase Document, at any time during the continuance of an unsatisfied Margin Deficit, or an uncured Default or Event of Default, Seller shall only be permitted to repurchase a Purchased Asset in connection with a full payoff of all amounts due in respect of such Purchased Asset by the Underlying Obligor or a sale of such Purchased Asset, if Seller shall pay directly to Buyer an amount equal to the greater of (y) one-hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds paid in connection with the relevant payoff and (z) one hundred percent (100%) of

- 39 -

the net proceeds received by Seller in connection with the sale of such Purchased Asset, plus an amount equal to the related unpaid Margin Deficit, if any, provided that Seller shall have the right to repurchase any Purchased Asset under this Section 3.05 if such repurchase would cure the related Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit, as applicable. The portion of all such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be applied by Buyer to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer, as determined in its discretion, under this Agreement.

Section 3.06 Maturity Date, Maximum Amount and Funding Period Extension Options.

(a) Maturity Date Extension Options. At the request of Seller delivered to Buyer in writing no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the then-current Maturity Date, provided that the Extension Conditions set forth below are fully satisfied as of the then-current Maturity Date, Buyer may extend the then-current Maturity Date for an additional one-year period, which requests and extensions may be made by Seller on three (3) successive occasions (each such one-year extension period, an “Extension Period”). Any extension of the then-current Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions, as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (each, an “Extension Condition”): (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the request to extend or on the then-current Maturity Date, (ii) no Margin Deficit shall have accrued and be outstanding, (iii) Seller shall have made a timely written request to extend the then-current Maturity Date as provided in this Section 3.06(a), (iv) Seller shall be in compliance with the Facility Debt Yield Test, and (v) Seller has paid to Buyer the applicable Extension Fee on or before the then-current Maturity Date. If the Extension Conditions are not fully satisfied as of the then-current Maturity Date, then notwithstanding any prior approval by Buyer of Seller’s request to extend the then-current Maturity Date, Seller shall have no right to extend the then-current Maturity Date and any pending request to extend the then-current Maturity Date shall be deemed to be denied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Funding Expiration Date is extended pursuant to Section 3.06(b), upon the satisfaction of the conditions and the payment of the fee set forth therein, the Maturity Date shall automatically be extended for an additional one-year period, without the satisfaction of any conditions other than those set forth in Section 3.06(b), or the payment of any additional fee pursuant to this Section 3.06(a).

(b) Funding Period Extension Option. At the request of Seller delivered to Buyer in writing no later than ninety (90) days before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, so long as the Target Capital Trigger Date has not occurred, Buyer may in its sole and absolute discretion grant one extension of the Initial Funding Expiration Date for a period of one (1) year by giving notice approving such extension request before the expiration of the Initial Funding Expiration Date (the “Funding Period Extension Option”). The failure of Buyer to so deliver such notice to Seller approving the requested extension of the Initial Funding Expiration Date shall be deemed to be Buyer’s determination not to extend the Initial Funding Expiration Date. Any request for extension of the Initial Funding Expiration Date shall be deemed to be denied if any of the following has occurred and is continuing as of the Initial Funding Expiration Date: (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Facility Debt Yield Test is not satisfied, (iii) an accrued and unpaid Margin Deficit exists, or (iv) Seller has not made a timely written request to extend the Initial Funding Period as provided in this Section 3.06(b). In connection with the exercise of the Initial Funding Period Extension Option, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Initial Funding Period Extension Fee before the date that the Funding Period Extension Option is exercised.

- 40 -

(c) Maximum Amount Upsize Option. At any time after the Target Capital Trigger Date has occurred, Seller may request up to two (2) separate increases of the Maximum Amount. The first increase, if requested, shall be for an increase of the Maximum Amount from $75,000,000 to either $150,000,000 or $200,000,000 and shall propose an effective date for the requested increase that is no later than the last day of the Funding Period. If the first such request resulted in an approval of the Maximum Amount being increased to $150,000,000, then Seller may submit a second request to increase the Maximum Amount from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. Each request for an increase of the Maximum Amount (each, an “Upsize Option”), shall be effected by delivery of written notice to Buyer, which shall include, in the case of the notice delivered in connection with the first such Upsize Option, evidence satisfactory to Buyer of the occurrence of the Target Capital Trigger Date, with such supporting details as Buyer may require. Any Upsize Option may be approved or denied by Buyer, in its sole discretion. The failure of Buyer to deliver notice to Seller approving the requested increase in the Maximum Amount shall be deemed to be Buyer’s determination not to increase the Maximum Amount. Any request for increase of the Maximum Amount will be deemed to be denied if any of the following has occurred and is continuing as of the proposed effective date of the related increase in the Maximum Amount: (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Facility Debt Yield Test is not satisfied or (iii) an accrued and unpaid Margin Deficit exists. In connection with any exercise of an Upsize Option, Seller shall pay to Buyer the Upsize Fee on or before the effective date of each related increase in the Maximum Amount.

Section 3.07 Payment of Price Differential and Fees.

(a) Notwithstanding that Buyer and Seller intend that each Transaction hereunder constitute a sale to Buyer of the Purchased Assets subject thereto, Seller shall pay to Buyer the accrued value of the Price Differential for each Purchased Asset on each Remittance Date. Buyer shall give Seller notice of the Price Differential and any fees and other amounts due under the Repurchase Documents on or prior to the second (2nd) Business Day preceding each Remittance Date; provided, that Buyer’s failure to deliver such notice shall not affect (i) the accrual of such obligations in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) Seller’s obligation to pay such amounts. If the Price Differential includes any estimated Price Differential, Buyer shall recalculate such Price Differential after the Remittance Date and, if necessary, make adjustments to the Price Differential amount due on the following Remittance Date.

(b) Seller shall pay to Buyer all fees and other amounts as and when due as set forth in this Agreement including, without limitation:

(i) the Structuring Fee, which shall be due and payable by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 2 of the Fee Letter, which are hereby incorporated by reference;

- 41 -

(ii) the Non-Utilization Fee, which shall be due and payable by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3 of the Fee Letter, which are hereby incorporated by reference;

(iii) the Extension Fee, Upsize Fee and Funding Period Extension Fee, each of which shall be due and payable by Seller as set forth in Section 3.06; and

(iv) the Exit Fee, which shall be due and payable by Seller in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3 of the Fee Letter, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

Section 3.08 Payment, Transfer and Custody.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Seller, Guarantor or any other Person under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day when due, in immediately available Dollars and without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, and if not received before such time shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Whenever any payment under the Repurchase Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment. Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, pay to Buyer interest in connection with any amounts not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents, which interest shall be calculated at a rate equal to the Default Rate, until all such amounts are received in full by Buyer. Amounts payable to Buyer and not otherwise required to be deposited into the Waterfall Account shall be deposited into an account of Buyer. Seller shall have no rights in, rights of withdrawal from, or rights to give notices or instructions regarding Buyer’s account or the Waterfall Account or any Collection Account.

(b) Any Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian on the relevant Purchase Date and subsequently received or held by or on behalf of Seller are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its agent for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof until so delivered to Buyer or Custodian. Seller or its agent shall maintain a copy of such Purchased Asset Documents and the originals of the Purchased Asset Documents not delivered to Buyer or Custodian. The possession of Purchased Asset Documents by Seller or its agent is in a custodial capacity only at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of assisting the related Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement. Each Purchased Asset Document retained or held by or on behalf of Seller or its agent shall be segregated on Seller’s books and records from the other assets of Seller or its agent, and the books and records of Seller or its agent shall be marked to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer on a servicing-released basis. Seller or its agent shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset Documents only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets by Servicer or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller, in each case in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

Section 3.09 Repurchase Obligations Absolute. All amounts payable by Seller under the Repurchase Documents shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, set-off,

- 42 -

deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the Repurchase Obligations shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (a) any damage to, destruction of, taking of, restriction or prevention of the use of, interference with the use of, title defect in, encumbrance on or eviction from, any Purchased Asset, the Pledged Collateral or related Mortgaged Property, (b) any Insolvency Proceeding relating to Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest, or any action taken with respect to any Repurchase Document, Purchased Asset Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, any Underlying Obligor or any other loan participant under a Senior Interest, or by any court in any such proceeding, (c) any claim that Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Repurchase Document or otherwise, (d) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Repurchase Document or other agreement with Seller, (e) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Asset, Repurchase Document or Purchased Asset Document, or (f) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller has notice or Knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller and limited recourse to Guarantor to the extent of, and subject to, the specified full-recourse provisions set forth in the Guarantee Agreement. This Section 3.09 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

Section 3.10 Future Funding Transactions. Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Future Funding Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, both immediately prior to entering into such Future Funding Transaction and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof:

(i) Seller shall give Buyer written notice of each Future Funding Transaction, together with a signed, written confirmation in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto prior to the related Future Funding Date (each, a “Future Funding Confirmation”), signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation shall identify the related Whole Loan, shall identify Buyer and Seller, shall set forth the requested Future Funding Amount, and shall be executed by both Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Future Funding Confirmation that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Future Funding Transaction covered thereby, and shall be construed to be cumulative to the extent possible. If terms in a Future Funding Confirmation are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Future Funding Transaction, other than with respect to the Applicable Percentage and Maximum Applicable Percentage set forth in such Future Funding Confirmation, this Agreement shall prevail.

(ii) For each proposed Future Funding Transaction, no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Future Funding Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Future Funding Request Package. Buyer shall have the right to conduct an additional due diligence investigation of the Future Funding Request Package and/or the related Whole Loan or Senior Interest as Buyer determines. Buyer shall be entitled to make a

- 43 -

determination, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion whether, in the case of a Future Funding Transaction, it shall or shall not advance the requested Future Funding Amount. If Buyer determines not to advance a requested Future Funding Amount with respect to any Purchased Asset, Seller shall promptly satisfy all future funding obligations with respect to each Purchased Asset as and when required pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, together with the terms of this Agreement. Prior to the approval of each proposed Future Funding Transaction by Buyer, Buyer shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that (A) all of the applicable conditions precedent for a Transaction, as described in Section 6.02, have been met by Seller, (B) the Debt Yield Test, the Facility Debt Yield Test and PPV Test are all in compliance both before and after giving effect to the proposed Transaction, (C) the related Purchased Asset is not a Defaulted Asset and (D) all related conditions precedent set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or otherwise, Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Future Funding Transaction (even with respect to any Purchased Asset identified on the applicable Purchase Date as having future funding obligations). Any determination to enter into a Future Funding Transaction shall be made in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion.

(iii) Upon the approval by Buyer of a particular Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a signed copy of the related Future Funding Confirmation described in clause (i) above, on or before the related Future Funding Date. On the related Future Funding Date, which shall occur no later than three (3) Business Days after the final approval of the Future Funding Transaction by Buyer (a) if an escrow agreement has been established in connection with such Future Funding Transaction, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the related escrow account, (b) if the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents provide for a reserve account in connection with future advances, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount to the applicable reserve account and (c) otherwise, Buyer shall remit the related Future Funding Amount directly to the related Underlying Obligor.

ARTICLE 4

MARGIN MAINTENANCE

Section 4.01 Margin Deficit.

(a) With respect to any Purchased Asset, if on any date an amount equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage for such Purchased Asset, multiplied by the applicable Market Value is less than the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset as of such date (the excess, if any, a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days after notice from Buyer (a “Margin Call”) either (i) transfer immediately available funds to Buyer in an amount at least equal to such Margin Deficit, or (ii) repurchase the related Purchased Assets in accordance with Section 3.04 to the extent necessary to fully cure the related Margin Deficit such that, after giving effect to such payments and/or repurchases, such related Margin Deficit shall be reduced to zero; provided that, prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Buyer shall not make any Margin Call to the extent the related Margin Deficit resulted solely from interest rate changes and/or credit spread movements. Buyer shall apply the funds received in satisfaction of a Margin Deficit to the Repurchase Obligations in such manner as Buyer determines.

- 44 -

- 53 -

believes that it is and will be able to pay and perform each agreement, duty, obligation and covenant contained in the Repurchase Documents and Purchased Asset Documents to which it is a party, and that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law that would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) at any time the total amount on deposit in the Waterfall Account is less than the Minimum Liquidity Amount and Seller fails to cure such circumstance within one (1) Business Day after either receiving notice of the related shortfall or otherwise becoming aware of such shortfall; and

(t) either FS Shareholder or Rialto Shareholder default under or fail at any time to satisfy all requirements of the applicable Shareholder Cash Collateral Account Control Agreements.

Section 10.02 Remedies of Buyer as Owner of the Purchased Assets. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the option of Buyer, exercised by notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to be exercised, even if no notice is given, automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f)), the Repurchase Date for all Purchased Assets shall be deemed automatically and immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to be exercised, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the foregoing option:

(a) All Repurchase Obligations shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date.

(b) All amounts in the Waterfall Account and all Income paid after the Accelerated Repurchase Date shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5.

- 67 -

(c) Buyer may complete any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in blank and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Asset Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on behalf of Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Files, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or any Servicer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request.

(d) Buyer may immediately, at any time, and from time to time, exercise either of the following remedies with respect to any or all of the Purchased Assets: (i) sell such Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and/or without providing any representations and warranties on an “as-is where is” basis, in a recognized market and by means of a public or private sale at such price or prices as Buyer accepts, and apply the net proceeds thereof in accordance with Article 5, or (ii) retain such Purchased Assets and give Seller credit against the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets (or if the amount of such credit exceeds the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets, to credit against Repurchase Obligations due and any other amounts (without duplication) then owing to Buyer by any other Person pursuant to any Repurchase Document, in such order and in such amounts as determined by Buyer), in an amount equal to the market value of such Purchased Assets, as such market value is determined by Buyer on the date of the related Event of Default. Until such time as Buyer exercises either such remedy with respect to a Purchased Asset, Buyer may hold such Purchased Asset for its own account and retain all Income with respect thereto.

(e) The Parties agree that the Purchased Assets are of such a nature that they may decline rapidly in value, and may not have a ready or liquid market. Accordingly, Buyer shall not be required to sell more than one Purchased Asset on a particular Business Day, to the same purchaser or in the same manner. Buyer may determine whether, when and in what manner a Purchased Asset shall be sold, it being agreed that both a good faith public and a good faith private sale shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Buyer shall not be required to give notice to Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. If no prior notice is given, Buyer shall give notice to Seller of the remedies exercised by Buyer promptly thereafter.

(f) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) any amount by which the Repurchase Obligations due to Buyer exceed the aggregate of the net proceeds and credits referred to in the preceding clause (d), (ii) the amount of all actual out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (iii) any costs and losses payable under Section 12.03, and (iv) any other actual loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(g) Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction, an order of specific performance or other equitable relief to compel Seller to fulfill any of its obligations as set forth in the Repurchase Documents, including this Article 10, if Seller fails or refuses to perform its obligations as set forth herein or therein.

(h) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for purposes of carrying out the Repurchase Documents, including executing, endorsing and recording any

- 68 -

instruments or documents and taking any other actions that Buyer deems necessary or advisable to accomplish such purposes, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, Buyer shall have no rights to exercise the foregoing grant of such power of attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(i) Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, exercise any or all of its set-off rights including those set forth in Section 18.17 and pursuant to any other Repurchase Document. This Section 10.02(i) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which Buyer is at any time otherwise entitled.

(j) All rights and remedies of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents, including those set forth in Section 18.17, are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have and may be exercised at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such rights and remedies may be enforced without prior judicial process or hearing. Seller agrees that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s-length. Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process or otherwise arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or any other election of remedies.

ARTICLE 11

SECURITY INTEREST

Section 11.01 Grant. Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, to preserve and protect Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and under the Repurchase Documents if any Governmental Authority recharacterizes any Transaction with respect to a Purchased Asset as other than a sale, and as security for Seller’s performance of the Repurchase Obligations, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a present Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof).

Section 11.02 Effect of Grant. If any circumstance described in Section 11.01 occurs, (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement as defined in the UCC, (b) Buyer shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by Requirements of Law (including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and the right to set off any mutual debt and claim) and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of the Repurchase Obligations, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its agents, including Custodian, of the Purchased Asset Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from

- 69 -

Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The security interest of Buyer granted herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.

Section 11.03 Seller to Remain Liable. Buyer and Seller agree that the grant of a security interest under this Article 11 shall not constitute or result in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Interest or other obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with any Purchased Asset, whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Asset Documents to perform all of Seller’s duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if the Repurchase Documents had not been executed.

Section 11.04 Waiver of Certain Laws. Seller agrees, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Purchased Assets or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

ARTICLE 12

INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Section 12.01 Market Disruption. If prior to any Pricing Period, Buyer determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Alternative Rate.

Section 12.02 Illegality. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Repurchase Documents, (a) any

- 70 -

commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall be terminated and the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred, (b) the Pricing Rate shall be converted automatically to the Alternative Rate on the last day of the then current Pricing Period or within such earlier period as may be required by Requirements of Law, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Maturity Date shall be deemed to have occurred.

Section 12.03 Breakfunding. In the event of (a) the failure by Seller to terminate any Transaction after Seller has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.04, (b) any payment to Buyer on account of the outstanding Repurchase Price, including a payment made pursuant to Section 3.04 but excluding a payment made pursuant to Section 5.02, on any day other than a Remittance Date (based on the assumption that Buyer funded its commitment with respect to the Transaction in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods that Buyer deems appropriate and practical), (c) any failure by Seller to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) any conversion of the Pricing Rate to the Alternative Rate because LIBOR is not available for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then-current Pricing Period, Seller shall compensate Buyer for the cost and expense, if any, attributable to such event, but excluding lost profits. A certificate of Buyer setting forth any amount or amounts that Buyer is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 12.03 shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive to the extent calculated in good faith and absent manifest error. Seller shall pay Buyer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 12.04 Increased Costs. If the adoption of, or any change in, any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made after the date of this Agreement, shall: (a) subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” or (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer, or (c) impose on Buyer (other than Taxes) any other condition; and the result of any of the preceding clauses (a), (b) and (c) is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions, or to reduce any amount receivable under the Repurchase Documents in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Seller, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as reasonably necessary to fully compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that Buyer shall not treat Seller differently than other similarly situated customers in requiring the payment of such amount or amounts; provided, further, that Seller shall have no obligation for increased costs arising more than 18 months after the Maturity Date.

Section 12.05 Capital Adequacy. If Buyer determines that any change in a Requirement of Law or internal policy regarding capital requirements has or would have the

- 71 -

effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or its obligations under the Transactions hereunder to a level below that which Buyer could have achieved but for such change in a Requirement of Law or internal policy (taking into consideration Buyer’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will promptly upon demand pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for any such reduction suffered. In determining any additional amounts due under this Section 12.05, Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Buyer will provide Seller with no less than thirty (30) days prior notice of the implementation of any change or event pursuant to which additional amounts are due or will become due under this Section 12.05; provided, further, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts for any period more than 18 months after the Maturity Date.

Section 12.06 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Repurchase Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.06) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made in respect of such Indemnified Taxes.

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

(c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 12.06) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.06, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

(e) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Repurchase Document, Buyer shall deliver to

- 72 -

Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.06(e)(ii)(A), Section 12.06(e)(ii)(B) and Section 12.06(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer.

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

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

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

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

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

- 73 -

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

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

(D) if a payment made to Buyer under any Repurchase Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Buyer shall deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(f) If any Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.06), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 12.06 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 12.06(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other

- 74 -

charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.06(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 12.06(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 12.06(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12.06, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 12.07 Payment and Survival of Obligations. Buyer may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12, and Seller shall pay such amounts to Buyer within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. Each Party’s obligations under this Article 12 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of the Buyer, the termination of the Transactions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Repurchase Document.

Section 12.08 Increased Costs Termination. If any of the events described in Article 12 result in Buyer’s election to use the Alternative Rate or Buyer’s request for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement and all of the Transactions and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets without payment (except as provided in the Fee Letter) of any Exit Fees no later than five (5) Business Days after such notice is given to Buyer, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with Section 3.05. The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 12.08 shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Buyer prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE 13

INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

Section 13.01 Indemnity.

(a) Seller shall release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Affiliates of Buyer and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, owners, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates and advisors (each an “Indemnified Person” and collectively the “Indemnified Persons”), against, and shall hold each Indemnified Person harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees, charges, and disbursements of any counsel for any such Indemnified Person and expenses), penalties or fines of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person (collectively, the

- 75 -

- 76 -

conduct, activities, actions and/or inactions in connection with, relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing clauses of this Section 13.01, that, in each case, results from anything whatsoever other than any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Person harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the account debtor or Underlying Obligor arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or Underlying Obligor from Seller. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.01 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Seller, an Indemnified Person or any other Person or any Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any Transaction is entered into. This Section 13.01(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 13.01 is unavailable to the Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, even though such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the express terms thereof, then Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Person on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, the relative fault of such Indemnified Person, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

(c) An Indemnified Person may at any time send Seller a notice showing the calculation of Indemnified Amounts, and Seller shall pay such Indemnified Amounts to such Indemnified Person within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives such notice. The obligations of Seller under this Section 13.01 shall apply (without duplication) to Eligible Assignees and Participants and survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.02 Expenses. Seller shall promptly on demand pay to or as directed by Buyer all third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal and, after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, accounting and advisory fees and expenses) incurred by Buyer in connection with (a) the development, evaluation, preparation, negotiation, execution, consummation, delivery and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, or extension, renewal or waiver of, the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions, (b) any Asset or Purchased Asset, including due diligence, inspection, testing, review, recording, registration, custody, care, insurance or preservation, (c) the enforcement of the Repurchase Documents or the payment or performance by Seller of any Repurchase Obligations, and (d) any actual or attempted sale, exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement relating to the Purchased Assets.

Section 14.03 Qualified Financial Contract. The Parties intend that if a Party is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).

Section 14.04 Netting Contract. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised and understand that:

(a) if one of the Parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 do not protect the other Party with respect to any Transaction;

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

ARTICLE 16

ARTICLE 17

SERVICING

This Article 17 shall apply to all Purchased Assets.

Section 17.01 Servicing Rights. Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to hire or otherwise engage any Person to service or sub-service all or part of the Purchased Assets, provided, however, (except when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Seller may designate one or more Servicers to be selected by Buyer, so long as each such Servicer is reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and each such Person shall have only such servicing obligations with respect to such Purchased Assets as are approved by Buyer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Buyer agrees with Seller as follows with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Assets:

(a) Each Servicer shall service the Purchased Assets on behalf of Buyer. Each Servicing Agreement shall contain provisions which are consistent with this Article 17 and must otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, it being understood that (i) in all cases where an Affiliate of Seller is the Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement shall be in the form approved by Buyer, and (ii) in all cases where ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association is the Servicer, the related Servicing Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

(b) Unless they have previously done so, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement on the Closing Date, Buyer will enter into, and cause each Servicer to enter into, a Servicing Agreement. Each Servicing Agreement, where the Servicer is not

- 80 -

Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer, shall automatically terminate on the 30th day following its execution and at the end of each thirty (30) day period thereafter, unless, in each case, Buyer shall agree, by prior written notice to the related Servicer to be delivered on or before the Remittance Date immediately preceding each such scheduled termination date, to extend the termination date an additional thirty (30) days. Neither Seller nor the related Servicer may assign its rights or obligations under the related Servicing Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.

(c) Seller shall not and shall not direct or otherwise permit any Servicer to (i) make any Material Modification without the prior written consent of Buyer or (ii) take any action which would result in a violation of the obligations of any Person under the related Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document, or which would otherwise be inconsistent with the rights of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents. Buyer, as owner of the Purchased Assets, shall own all related servicing and voting rights and, as owner, shall act as servicer with respect to the Purchased Assets, subject to an interim revocable option from Buyer in favor of Seller, which is hereby granted, to direct each related Servicer, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that Seller cannot give any direction or take any action that could materially adversely affect the value or collectability of any amounts due with respect to the Purchased Assets without the consent of Buyer. Such revocable option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of Seller in any Purchased Asset.

(d) The servicing fee payable to each Servicer shall be payable as a servicing fee in accordance with this Agreement and each Servicing Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to priority fourth of Section 5.02 or priority third of Section 5.03, as applicable.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies of Buyer and each related Servicer under each Servicing Agreement, this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents (and in addition to the provisions of each Servicing Agreement providing for termination of each such Servicing Agreement pursuant to its terms), (i) for the avoidance of doubt, the right, if any, of each Servicer to direct the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall immediately and automatically cease to exist, and (ii) for each Servicing Agreement where Servicer is not Buyer or one of its Affiliates, Buyer may at any time terminate the related Servicing Agreement immediately upon the delivery of a written termination notice from either Buyer or the related Servicer to Seller. Seller shall pay all expenses associated with any such termination, including without limitation any fees and expenses required in connection with the transfer of servicing to the related Servicer and/or a replacement Servicer.

Section 17.02 Accounts Related to Purchased Assets. To the extent that Servicer is not Buyer or one of its Affiliates, Seller shall cause Servicer to enter into the contractual arrangements with Buyer and Seller that are necessary, as determined by Buyer, in order to create a perfected security interest in favor of Buyer in all such accounts, including, without limitation, an Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

- 81 -

Section 17.03 Servicing Reports. Seller shall deliver (or cause each Servicer to deliver) to Buyer and Custodian a monthly remittance report in the form of the attached Exhibit H on or before the second Business Day immediately preceding each monthly Remittance Date containing servicing information, including those fields reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time, on an asset by asset basis and in the aggregate, with respect to the Purchased Assets for the month (or any portion thereof) before the date of such report.

Section 17.04 Servicer Event of Default. If an Event of Default or Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Buyer shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate the related Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing of the related Purchased Assets to Buyer or its designee, at no cost or expense to Buyer, it being agreed that Seller will pay any fees and expenses required to terminate such Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to Buyer or its designee.

To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(i) and 18.17 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c).

- 85 -

(c) Buyer may at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor, Originator or Guarantor, but upon notice to Seller, sell and assign to any Eligible Assignee (or, notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Repurchase Document, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person, without any other restriction), all or any portion of all of the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents. Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). From and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be a Party and, to the extent provided therein, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Repurchase Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the Repurchase Price allocated to it, (ii) Buyer shall, to the extent provided therein, be released from such obligations (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, Buyer shall cease to be a Party), (iii) the obligations of Buyer shall be deemed to be so reduced, and (iv) Buyer will give prompt written notice thereof (including identification of the Eligible Assignee and the amount of Repurchase Price allocated to it) to each Party (but Buyer shall not have any liability for any failure to timely provide such notice). Any sale or assignment by Buyer of rights or obligations under the Repurchase Documents that does not comply with this Section 18.08(c) shall be treated for purposes of the Repurchase Documents as a sale by such Buyer of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18.08(b).

(d) Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such sale and assignment of participations or assignments and shall enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, the Repurchase Documents to give effect to any such sale or assignment; provided, that none of the foregoing shall change any economic or other material term of the Repurchase Documents in a manner adverse to Seller without the consent of Seller.

(e) Buyer shall have the right to partially or completely syndicate any or all of its rights under this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents to any Eligible Assignee.

(f) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Eligible Assignees that become Parties hereto and, with respect to each such Eligible Assignee, the aggregate assigned Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parties at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g) If Buyer sells a participation of its rights hereunder, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and, with respect to each such Participant, the aggregate participated Purchase Price and applicable Price Differential, and any other interest in any obligations under the Repurchase Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Party shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the

- 86 -

identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any obligations under any Repurchase Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the participating Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Section 18.09 Ownership and Hypothecation of Purchased Assets. Title to all Purchased Assets shall pass to and vest in Buyer on the applicable Purchase Dates and, subject to the terms of the Repurchase Documents, Buyer or its designee shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets and be entitled to exercise all rights, privileges and options relating to the Purchased Assets as the owner thereof, including rights of subscription, conversion, exchange, substitution, voting, consent and approval, and to direct any servicer or trustee. Buyer or its designee may, at any time, without the consent of Seller, Pledgor, Originator, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, engage in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets or otherwise sell, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecate, or rehypothecate the Purchased Assets, all on terms that Buyer may determine; provided, that (i) no such transaction shall affect the obligations of Buyer to transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Dates free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim, and (ii) at all times prior to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no such transaction may be made with or to a Competitor. In the event Buyer engages in a repurchase transaction with any of the Purchased Assets or otherwise pledges or hypothecates any of the Purchased Assets, Buyer shall have the right to assign to Buyer’s counterparty any of the applicable representations or warranties herein and the remedies for breach thereof, as they relate to the Purchased Assets that are subject to such repurchase transaction. Seller shall not, notwithstanding any other provision herein, have any obligation or liability for costs incurred by Buyer in connection with any Transaction described in this Section 18.09.

Section 18.10 Confidentiality. All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such Party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by Requirements of Law, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either Party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Assets or Mortgaged Properties, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) in the event any Party is legally compelled to make pursuant to deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process by court order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (g) to any actual or prospective eligible Participant or Eligible Assignee that agrees to comply with this Section 18.10; provided, that, except with respect to the disclosures by Buyer under clause (g) of this Section 18.10, no such disclosure made with respect to any Repurchase Document shall include a copy of such Repurchase Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Repurchase Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure.

- 87 -

Section 18.11 No Implied Waivers; Amendments. No failure on the part of Buyer to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right or remedy under the Repurchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy thereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies in the Repurchase Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. Application of the Default Rate after an Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or Buyer’s rights and remedies with respect thereto, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate is applied. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Repurchase Documents, no amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Repurchase Documents shall be effective without the signed agreement of Seller and Buyer. Any waiver or consent under the Repurchase Documents shall be effective only if it is in writing and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 18.12 Notices and Other Communications. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals, requests and other communications required or permitted to be given to a Party hereunder shall be in writing and sent prepaid by hand delivery, by certified or registered mail, by expedited commercial or postal delivery service, or by facsimile or email if also sent by one of the foregoing, to the address for such Party specified in Annex I or such other address as such Party shall specify from time to time in a notice to the other Party. Any of the foregoing communications shall be effective when delivered, if such delivery occurs on a Business Day; otherwise, each such communication shall be effective on the first Business Day following the date of such delivery. A Party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements of this Section 18.12 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

Section 18.13 Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. Any Repurchase Document may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any other Repurchase Document and any notices hereunder may be transmitted between them by email and/or facsimile. The Parties intend that faxed signatures and electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files shall constitute original signatures and are binding on all parties.

Section 18.14 No Personal Liability. No administrator, incorporator, Affiliate, owner, member, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Buyer, any Indemnified Person, Seller, Pledgor, Originator or Guarantor, as such, shall be subject to any recourse or personal liability under or with respect to any obligation of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor, Originator or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents, whether by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed that the obligations of Buyer, Seller, Pledgor, Originator or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents are solely their respective corporate, limited liability company or partnership obligations, as applicable, and that any such recourse or personal liability is hereby expressly waived. This Section 18.14 shall survive the termination of the Repurchase Documents and the repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations.

- 88 -

Seller shall deliver to Buyer file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing. Seller shall execute any and all documents reasonably required to fulfill the intent of this Section 18.15.

(b) Seller will promptly at its expense execute and deliver such instruments and documents and take such other actions as Buyer may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under and with respect to the Repurchase Documents, the Transactions and the Purchased Assets. Seller, Pledgor, Originator and Guarantor shall, promptly upon Buyer’s request, deliver documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer which Buyer deems necessary or desirable to evidence compliance with all applicable “know your customer” due diligence checks.

(c) If Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, then Buyer may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such Repurchase Obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Seller fails to perform any of its Repurchase Obligations, Seller authorizes Buyer, at the option of Buyer and the expense of Seller, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that Buyer deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Purchased Assets and Buyer’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Repurchase Documents. No Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any Repurchase Obligation by Buyer on behalf of Seller. Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by Seller in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will no earlier than six (6) months or later than three (3) months before the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date of filing of each UCC financing statement filed in connection with to any Repurchase Document or any Transaction, (i) deliver and file or cause to be filed an appropriate continuation statement with respect to such financing statement (provided that Buyer may elect to file such continuation statement), and (ii) if requested by Buyer, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer an opinion of

- 89 -

counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, confirming and updating the security interest opinion delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) with respect to perfection and otherwise to the effect that the security interests hereunder continue to be enforceable security interests, subject to no prior Liens, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

(e) Except as provided in the Repurchase Documents, the sole duty of Buyer, Custodian or any other designee or agent of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be to use reasonable care in the custody, use, operation and preservation of the Purchased Assets in its possession or control. Buyer shall incur no liability to Seller or any other Person for any act of Governmental Authority, act of God or other destruction in whole or in part or negligence or wrongful act of custodians or agents selected by Buyer with reasonable care, or Buyer’s failure to provide adequate protection or insurance for the Purchased Assets. Buyer shall have no obligation to take any action to preserve any rights of Seller in any Purchased Asset against prior parties, and Seller hereby agrees to take such action. Buyer shall have no obligation to realize upon any Purchased Asset except through proper application of any distributions with respect to the Purchased Assets made directly to Buyer or its agent(s). So long as Buyer and Custodian shall act in good faith in their handling of the Purchased Assets, Seller waives or is deemed to have waived the defense of impairment of the Purchased Assets by Buyer and Custodian.

(f) At Buyer’s election (at Buyer’s sole cost and expense) and at any time during the term of this Agreement, Buyer may complete and record any or all of the Blank Assignment Documents as further evidence of Buyer’s ownership interest in the related Purchased Assets.

Section 18.16 Default Rate. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, Seller shall pay interest at the Default Rate on the amount of all Repurchase Obligations not paid when due under the Repurchase Documents until such Repurchase Obligations are paid or satisfied in full.

Section 18.17 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Repurchase Documents, Requirements of Law or otherwise, Guarantor and Seller hereby grant to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, and Guarantor hereby grants to Buyer and each Indemnified Person, to secure repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement), a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and Guarantor and any proceeds from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person, for the account of Seller or Guarantor, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general, specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or Indebtedness of Seller or Guarantor at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Guarantor and to set–off against any Repurchase Obligations or Indebtedness owed by Seller or Guarantor and any Indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller or Guarantor, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Repurchase Documents and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified

- 90 -

Person to or for the credit of Seller or Guarantor, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer, each Affiliate of Buyer and each Indemnified Person is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller or Guarantor to Buyer or any Indemnified Person under the Repurchase Documents, the Repurchase Obligations or otherwise or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller or Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller and Guarantor to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any Indemnified Person by Seller or Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall have made any demand under the Repurchase Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. Seller and Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons by Seller and Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations and Guarantor shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons by Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement, and Buyer and the other Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set–off provided for above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED ASSETS OR OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSONS UNDER THE REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER AND GUARANTOR.

Buyer or any Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the affected Seller or Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by Buyer or such Indemnified Person, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set–off and application. If an amount or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other party when the amount or obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 18.17 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 18.17 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, Lien or other rights to which Buyer is at any time otherwise entitled.

Section 18.18 Seller’s Waiver of Set-off. Seller hereby waives any right of set-off it may have or to which it may be or become entitled under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise against Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, any Indemnified Person or their respective assets or properties.

Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file such financing statement or statements relating to the Purchased Assets without Seller’s signature thereon as Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. Seller hereby appoints Buyer as Seller’s agent and attorney in fact to (a) following a Default or an Event of Default, execute any such financing statement or statements in Seller’s name and to perform all other acts which Buyer deems appropriate to perfect and preserve its ownership interest in and/or the security interest

I. Schedule 1(a)

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING OF WHOLE LOANS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Whole Loan, that except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception for such Purchased Asset as of the related Purchase Date for each such Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the representations set forth on this Schedule 1(a) shall be true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(a) and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a Whole Loan if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset or has repurchased such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

The Whole Loan is a performing Whole Loan secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to Buyer with respect to each Whole Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.

Such Whole Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Whole Loan.

Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, such Whole Loan, and Seller is transferring such Whole Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Whole Loan, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Liens, as such term is defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents) and Title Exceptions (as such term is defined below). Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Whole Loan on the related Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Whole Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. There are no participation agreements affecting such Whole Loan. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Whole Loan, and the assignment to Buyer, other than as disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the related Purchase Date.

No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Whole Loan nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan.

Sch 1(a)-1

All information contained in the related Underwriting Package (or as otherwise provided to Buyer) in respect of such Whole Loan is accurate and complete in all material respects. Seller has made available to Buyer for inspection, with respect to such Whole Loan, true, correct and complete Purchased Asset Documents, which Purchased Asset Documents have not been amended, modified, supplemented or restated since the related date of origination.

Except as included in the Underwriting Package, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement that by its terms modifies or materially affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Whole Loan and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists.

Such Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow or reserve accounts, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

Seller has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Whole Loan, and such Whole Loan or any related Mortgage Note has not been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or rescission thereof.

Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with customary restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees” or similar transfer restriction provisions in the Purchased Asset Documents, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Whole Loan, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Whole Loan (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer) or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Whole Loan. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Whole Loan, other than recordation of assignments of each Mortgage and assignment of leases securing the related Whole Loan in the applicable real estate records where the Mortgaged Properties are located and the filing of UCC-3 assignments in all applicable filing offices.

Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding material liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Whole Loan is or may become obligated under the Purchased Asset Documents.

Sch 1(a)-2

Seller has not advanced funds, or received any advance of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor relating to such Whole Loan or the related Mortgage Note, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by such Whole Loan or the related Mortgage Note, and no funds have been received from any Person other than such Mortgagor, for or on account of payments due on such Whole Loan.

Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, assignment of leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage), guaranty and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Whole Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby and/or security provided thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage contain no provision limiting the right or ability of any holder thereof to assign, transfer and convey all or any portion of the related Whole Loan to any other Person, except, however, for customary intercreditor restrictions limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Institutional Lender/Owners” or “Qualified Institutional Lenders” or any similar term. With respect to any Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

Except as set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16), there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Whole Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee either (i) the original Mortgage Note(s) made in respect of such Whole Loan, together with an original endorsement thereof, executed by Seller in blank, or (ii) a copy of the applicable Mortgage Note(s), together with an affidavit and indemnity in favor of Buyer evidencing the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such original Mortgage Note(s), in form and substance acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

Each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of assignment of leases from Seller in blank constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller (assuming the

Sch 1(a)-3

insertion of Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each related Mortgage and assignment of leases evidences a first-priority lien, and each is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for, or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy.

The Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether underground leases, space leases or operating leases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property. Each title policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the

Sch 1(a)-4

Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. There are no Whole Loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or such Whole Loan. The Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property, no claims under the title policies insuring the Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Properties have been made, and the Mortgagor has not received any written notice regarding any material violation of any easement, restrictive covenant or similar instrument affecting the Mortgaged Property.

UCC 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 the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, located on the Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan) material to the value of the Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property) to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing of UCC financing statements, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on the items of personalty described above, which security interest is senior to all other creditors of the Mortgagor, other than with respect to Permitted Liens, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) or installments thereof, which would be a lien on the Mortgaged Property and that have become delinquent in respect of the Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

origination or which are then-currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Whole Loan and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property.

An engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each Whole Loan no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller (or the originator of such Whole Loan, if applicable) with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. There are no material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

The lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or, until the policy is issued, a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions; the Mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and Seller and will inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee of record; such title policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. The insurer issuing such policy is either (x) a nationally-recognized title insurance company or (y) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment located on such Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, and in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to twelve (12) months of operations of the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to each Whole Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (B) for a Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (C) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller. Except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Whole Loan and which are set forth in the related Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related Whole Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 150% of the PML. If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property insurance policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance policy and provide that they are not terminable without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Mortgagee (or, with respect to non-payment, ten (10) days prior written notice to the Mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by applicable law. Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor maintain insurance as described above or permits the Mortgagee to require insurance as described above, and permits the Mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense if Mortgagor fails to do so.

Other than payments due but not yet thirty (30) days or more delinquent, (a) there is no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered by any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any paragraph of this Schedule 1(a), (b) Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage or Mortgage Note and (c) pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents, no Person or party other than the holder of such Mortgage Note (or its servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

Such Whole Loan is not, and since its origination, has not been thirty (30) days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment. There is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Seller has not received any written notice that the Whole Loan may be subject to reduction or disallowance for any reason, including without limitation, any setoff, right of recoupment, defense, counterclaim or impairment of any kind.

Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the related Purchase Date without the prior written consent of the holder of such Whole Loan, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).

To the extent such Whole Loan is identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) eligible, such Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and (A) the issue price of the Whole Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Whole Loan and (B) either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Whole Loan was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the principal amount of the Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the related Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to the Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with the Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; the Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) need for further investigation.

In the case of each Whole Loan that is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer thereof (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (ii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the related Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (b) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Whole Loan or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Whole Loan that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the

Each related Mortgage, assignment of leases, or one or more of the other Purchased Asset Documents contains provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Neither the Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of a multi-tenant Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Underlying Obligor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

Such Whole Loan is a whole loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization (except that an anticipated repayment date (“ARD”) loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date). No Mortgagor has issued preferred equity.

Subject to specific exceptions set forth below and to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage or loan agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than (i) by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents) in a mortgagor, (iv) issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other Whole Loans or (v) transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (34) below), or (b) the related Mortgaged

Property or controlling interest in the borrower is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any existing permitted additional debt, (ii) any purchase money security interests, or (iii) Permitted Liens or Title Exceptions. The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval, including any Rating Agency fees incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance.

Except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use, value or operation of such Mortgaged Property and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the due diligence file related to the applicable Whole Loan was delivered to Buyer or its designee and neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Whole Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be released without the consent of the holder of the Whole Loan; (b) no material action may be taken by the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the consent of the holder of the Whole Loan; (c) the holder of the Whole Loan is entitled to approve the budget of the Mortgagor as it relates to the Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of the Whole Loan’s consent is required prior to the Mortgagor incurring any additional indebtedness.

Each related Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate during the four (4) month period prior to the related origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date.

Except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, since origination, no material portion of the related Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the Whole Loan or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Whole Loan secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the Whole Loans (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Whole Loan, (c) where a partial release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal (including REMIC, if applicable) requirements and the payment of a release price not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with certain underwriting and legal requirements (including REMIC Provisions, if applicable) or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for

With respect to any partial release, either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Whole Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), for any Whole Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Whole Loan outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

With respect to any Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Whole Loan.

With respect to any Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, no such Whole Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Whole Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws and ordinances.

None of the material improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related Mortgaged Property lies outside of the boundaries and building restriction lines of the related Mortgaged Property (except Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Mortgaged Property or related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

The related Mortgagor has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, with requisite power and authority to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, the sole purpose of the related Mortgagor under its organizational documents is to own, finance, sell or otherwise manage the Properties and to engage in any and all activities related or incidental thereto, and the Mortgaged Properties constitute the sole assets of the related Mortgagor. The related Mortgagor has covenanted in its respective organizational documents and/or the Purchased Asset Documents to own no significant asset other than the related Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, and assets incidental to its respective ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Properties, and to hold itself out as being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other Person.

There are no pending, filed or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, governmental investigations or arbitrations of which Seller has received notice, against the Mortgagor, guarantor or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under such Whole Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (f) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Whole Loan, (g) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

The Whole Loan and the interest (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) contracted for complies with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

The Whole Loan is not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Indebtedness that is not also a Purchased Asset.

The improvements located on the Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the Mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount equal to the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization.

All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Whole Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Whole Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

The Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to maintain all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

The origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used with respect to the Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans.

Except for Mortgagors under Whole Loans secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Mortgaged Property.

The Purchased Asset Documents for such Whole Loan provide that such Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that the Whole Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. Furthermore, the Purchased Asset Documents for each Whole Loan provide for recourse against the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) any Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or willful misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct, fraud or material misrepresentation by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) and upon possession of the Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any assignment of leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with such Whole Loan establishes and creates a valid, first priority and enforceable collateral assignment of, or a valid first priority and enforceable lien and security interest in, the related Mortgagor’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 only to a license granted to the related mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage or related assignment of leases, subject to applicable law and to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), provides that, upon an event of default under such Whole Loan, the beneficiary thereof is permitted to seek the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

With respect to such Whole Loan, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

If such Whole Loan contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two (2) years after any securitization of such Whole Loan and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due. If the Whole Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Whole Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity (as such term is defined below). Such Whole Loan was not originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if such Mortgage contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in the defeasance collateral. The related Purchased Asset Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the Purchased Asset Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance will not cause any holder to lose its status as a REMIC, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Whole Loan.

To the extent required under applicable law as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the Whole Loan, each holder of the related Mortgage Note is authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Whole Loan.

Neither the Mortgagee nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Whole Loan. Neither the Mortgagee nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make loans to, make guarantees on behalf of, or otherwise extend credit to, or make any of the foregoing for the benefit of, the Mortgagor or any other person under or in connection with the Whole Loan.

Each related Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted or applied to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

An Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Whole Loan origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute and had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Whole Loan. Such Appraisal satisfied in all material respects the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Whole Loan was originated.

The related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the Mortgagee with certain financial information at the times required under the related Purchased Asset Documents.

Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, and (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property.

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

Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction, and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the related Purchase Date. The Ground Lease does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Underwriting Package.

Upon the foreclosure of the Whole Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Whole Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor.

Sch 1(a)-18

Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. Such Ground Lease is in full force and effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and no condition which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee. The Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground Lease, estoppel or other ancillary agreement and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel.

The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only Permitted Liens and any Title Exceptions and the related fee interest of the ground lessor, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject.

A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease.

Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set forth therein all of which can be exercised by the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond the stated maturity date of the Whole Loan.

Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan).

Sch 1(a)-19

Under the terms of the Ground Lease (or an estoppel or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee) and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, together with any accrued interest.

The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease with Seller upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

The ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Whole Loan is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of the Whole Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to the Mortgagee and (iv) it would accept cure from the Mortgagee on behalf of the ground lessee.

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

It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Whole Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception, there is no mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property.

Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements (i) with respect to each Whole Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each Whole Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage.

Sch 1(a)-20

With respect to each Whole Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Whole Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms.

Each Whole Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Whole Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Whole Loan has a Purchase Date principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Whole Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Whole Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

Each Whole Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Whole Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to each Whole Loan, complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of, as appropriate, all of Seller’s or such party’s origination, due diligence standards and/or practices for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as applicable, and, in each such case, otherwise complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

Sch 1(a)-21

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

Seller has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) and all owners that hold a 10% or greater direct ownership share (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Based solely on the searches performed by Seller in connection with the related Whole Loan, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony.

With respect to each Whole Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the origination date of the related Whole Loan, and each such estoppel indicated (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within ninety (90) days of the origination date of the related Whole Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Whole Loan that is represented on the rent roll. Each rent roll indicated that (x) each lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Whole Loan.

No default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien relating to the Mortgaged Property ranking junior to, pari passu with or senior to the Mortgage securing the Whole Loan, and there is no provision in any such agreement which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien.

Sch 1(a)-22

The representations and warranties made by the Mortgagor in the Purchased Asset Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mortgagor, the related Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the Purchase Date.

II. Schedule 1(b)

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

RE: PURCHASED ASSETS CONSISTING

OF SENIOR INTERESTS

Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, with respect to each Purchased Asset which is a Senior Interest, that except as specifically disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Representation Exception for such Purchased Asset, as of the Purchase Date for each such related Purchased Asset by Buyer from Seller and as of the date of each Transaction hereunder and at all times while the Repurchase Documents or any Transaction hereunder is in full force and effect the representations set forth on this Schedule 1(b) shall be true and correct in all material respects. For purposes of this Schedule 1(b) and the representations and warranties set forth herein, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been cured with respect to a Purchased Asset which is a Senior Interest if and when Seller has taken or caused to be taken action such that the event, circumstance or condition that gave rise to such breach no longer affects such Purchased Asset or has repurchased such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

The Senior Interest is either (a) a performing senior or pari passu participation interest in a performing Whole Loan, secured by a first-priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property, or (b) a performing “A-note” in an “A/B structure” in a performing Whole Loan, secured by a first-priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to Buyer with respect to each Senior Interest and each underlying Whole Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.

Such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan complies in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan.

Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, no Mortgage Note related to a Senior Interest or related Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge and Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner and holder of, such Senior Interest, and Seller is transferring such Senior Interest free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, encumbrances, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Senior Interest, except to the extent otherwise permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Liens) and Title Exceptions. Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Senior Interest on the related Purchase Date therefor, Seller will have validly and effectively conveyed to Buyer all legal and beneficial interest in and to such Senior Interest free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Senior Interest, and the assignment to Buyer, other than as disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the related Purchase Date.

Sch 1(a)-24

No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller in connection with its acquisition or origination of such Senior Interest nor were any fraudulent acts committed by any other Person in connection with the origination of such Senior Interest.

All information contained in the related Underwriting Package (or as otherwise provided to Buyer) in respect of such Senior Interest is accurate and complete in all material respects. Seller has made available to Buyer for inspection, with respect to such Senior Interest, true, correct and complete Purchased Asset Documents, which Purchased Asset Documents have not been amended, modified, supplemented or restated since the related date of origination.

Except as included in the Underwriting Package, Seller is not a party to any document, instrument or agreement, and there is no document, instrument or agreement that by its terms modifies or materially affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Senior Interest and Seller has not consented to any material change or waiver to any term or provision of any such document, instrument or agreement and no such change or waiver exists.

Each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date therefor pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow or reserve accounts, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.

Seller has full right, power and authority to sell and assign such Senior Interest and such Senior Interest or any related Mortgage Note has not been cancelled, satisfied or rescinded in whole or in part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or rescission thereof.

Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and assuming that Buyer and any other transferees comply with customary intercreditor restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, or similar transfer restriction provisions in the Purchased Asset Documents, no consent or approval by any Person is required in connection with Seller’s sale and/or Buyer’s acquisition of such Senior Interest, for Buyer’s exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of such Senior Interest (except for compliance with applicable Requirements of Law in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies by Buyer) or for Buyer’s sale, pledge or other disposition of such Senior Interest. No third party holds any “right of first refusal”, “right of first negotiation”, “right of first offer”, purchase option, or other similar rights of any kind, and no other impediment exists to any such transfer or exercise of rights or remedies.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or registration or filing with, or notice to, any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction or regulatory authority is required for any transfer or assignment by the holder of such Senior Interest, other than recordation of assignments of each related Mortgage and assignment of leases securing the related Whole Loan in the applicable real estate records where the Mortgaged Properties are located and the filing of UCC-3 assignments in all applicable filing offices.

Sch 1(a)-25

Seller has not received notice of any outstanding material liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind for which the holder of such Senior Interest is or may become obligated under the Purchased Asset Documents.

Seller has not advanced funds, or received any advance of funds for the payment of any amount required by such Senior Interest. With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, no advance of funds has been made, directly or indirectly, by Seller to the Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the Mortgagor relating to such Whole Loan, for or on account of payments due on such Whole Loan.

With respect to each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, assignment of leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage), guaranty and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such related Whole Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) that certain provisions contained in such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provisions renders any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby and/or security provided thereby and (ii) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage Note and Mortgage contain no provision limiting the right or ability of any holder thereof to assign, transfer and convey all or any portion of the related Whole Loan or the related Senior Interest to any other Person, except, however, for customary intercreditor restrictions in the Purchased Asset Documents, limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”, “Institutional Lender/Owners” or “Qualified Institutional Lenders” or any similar term. With respect to any Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.

Except as set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16), with respect to the Senior Interest and each related Whole Loan, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the related Whole Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee either (i) the original promissory note, certificate or other similar indicia of ownership of such Senior Interest, however

Sch 1(a)-26

denominated, together with an original assignment thereof, executed by Seller in blank or (ii) a copy of the applicable Mortgage Note(s), together with an affidavit and indemnity in favor of Buyer evidencing the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such original Mortgage Note(s), in form and substance acceptable to Buyer in its reasonable discretion.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of leases from Seller in blank constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of Buyer’s name), except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Each related Mortgage and assignment of leases evidences a first-priority lien, and each is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the Related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions), and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for, or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy.

The Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraphs (13) and (16) above and the following title exceptions (each such title exception, a “Title Exception”, and collectively, the “Title Exceptions”): (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (21) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether underground leases, space leases or operating leases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if

Sch 1(a)-27

such Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the related Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property. Each title policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. There are no other Whole Loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related Mortgaged Property or the related Whole Loan. The Mortgagor has good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property, no claims under the title policies insuring the Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Properties have been made, and the Mortgagor has not received any written notice regarding any material violation of any easement, restrictive covenant or similar instrument affecting the Mortgaged Property.

UCC 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 the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC, located on each related Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest) material to the value of such Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such Whole Loan or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing of UCC financing statements, and the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on the items of personalty described above, which security interest is senior to all other creditors of the Mortgagor, other than with respect to Permitted Liens, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, each related Mortgaged Property is free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or which are then-currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property.

An engineering report was prepared in connection with the origination of each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date, which states that all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by Seller (or the originator of the related Whole Loan, if applicable) with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. There are no material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or, until the policy is issued, a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to Permitted Liens and the Title Exceptions; the Mortgagee or its successors or assigns is the sole named insured of such policy; such policy is assignable without consent of the insurer and Seller and will inure to the benefit of the Mortgagee of record; such title policy is in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; all premiums thereon have been paid; no claims have been made under such policy and no circumstance exists which would impair or diminish the coverage of such policy. The insurer issuing such policy is either (x) a nationally-recognized title insurance company or (y) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such insurance is not available) (a) access to public road or (b) against any loss due to encroachments of any material portion of the improvements thereon.

Sch 1(a)-29

Insurance coverage is being maintained with respect to the Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Mortgaged Property is located, and (A) with respect to a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” insurance policy that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment located on such Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation) or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, and in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount at least equal to twelve (12) months of operations of the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to each related Whole Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (B) for a related Whole Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (C) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such insurance policy has been received by Seller. Except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar Whole Loan and which are set forth in the related Mortgage, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the principal amount of the related Whole Loan, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years

Sch 1(a)-30

and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements in an amount not less than 150% of the PML. If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

Other than payments due but not yet thirty (30) days or more delinquent, (a) there is no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to any matter otherwise covered by any other representation and warranty made by Seller in any paragraph of this Schedule 1(b), (b) Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Senior Interest, related Mortgage or related Mortgage Note and (c) pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents, no Person or party other than the holder of such related Mortgage Note (or its servicer) may declare any event of default or accelerate the related indebtedness under either of such Mortgage or Mortgage Note.

The Senior Interest and related Whole Loan are not, and since their origination, have not been thirty (30) days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment. There is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan or any other obligation of the borrower under the related Whole Loan, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Senior Interest and related Whole Loan or any other obligation of the Mortgagor or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Seller has not received any written notice that the Senior Interest and related Whole Loan may be subject to reduction or disallowance for any reason, including without limitation, any setoff, right of recoupment, defense, counterclaim or impairment of any kind.

Sch 1(a)-31

Each Mortgage related to the Whole Loan relating to such Senior Interest does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the related Mortgage Note, the related Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the related Purchase Date without the prior written consent of the holder of such Whole Loan, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Permitted Liens, Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).

To the extent the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, such Whole Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)of the Code (without regard to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860G-2(a)(3) or 1.860G-2(f)(2)), is directly secured by a Mortgage on a commercial property or a multifamily residential property, and (A) the issue price of the related Whole Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of such Whole Loan and (B) either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Whole Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the portion of such commercial or multifamily residential property that consists of an interest in real property (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.856-3(c) and 1.856-3(d)) and such interest in real property was the only security for such Whole Loan as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property which secures such Whole Loan was at least equal to eighty percent (80%) of the principal amount of such Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the related Purchase Date. For purposes of the previous sentence, (1) the fair market value of the referenced interest in real property shall first be reduced by (a) the amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is senior to such Whole Loan, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real property that is on a parity with such Whole Loan, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Whole Loan was originated unless (a) such Whole Loan was modified after the date of its origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Whole Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant modification” did not occur at a time when such Whole Loan was in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Whole Loan has been subjected to a “significant modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Whole Loan was not in default or when default with respect to such Whole Loan was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the latest such “significant modification” occurred.

There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Mortgagor has taken any actions which would cause the Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; the related Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance.

Sch 1(a)-32

At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged from the Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Mortgaged Property. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Whole Loans related to Senior Interests, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with the related Whole Loan within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) 125% of the funds reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to the date hereof, and a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the environmental issue affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed”); (D) an environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal liability insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth below that covers liability for the identified circumstance or condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and Seller has reasonably estimated that the responsible party has financial resources adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. The ESA will be part of the Servicing File; and except as set forth in the ESA, there is no (i) known circumstance or condition that rendered the Mortgaged Property in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) Environmental Conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor), or (iii) need for further investigation.

In the case of each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan that is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer thereof (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (i) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such

Sch 1(a)-33

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

With respect to each Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, each related Mortgage, assignment of leases, or one or more of the other Purchased Asset Documents, contains provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

No issuer of the Purchased Asset, no co-participant, no Underlying Obligor related to any Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, no Mortgaged Property (other than any tenants of a multi-tenant Mortgaged Property), nor any portion thereof, is the subject of, and no Underlying Obligor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is the subject of, or is a debtor in, state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

Except for the related Purchased Asset, each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest is a whole loan and contains no equity participation by the lender or shared appreciation feature and does not provide for any contingent or additional interest in the form of participation in the cash flow of the related Mortgaged Property or provide for negative amortization (except that an ARD loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated repayment date). No Mortgagor has issued preferred equity.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, subject to specific exceptions set forth below and to certain exceptions, which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, each related Mortgage or loan agreement contains

Sch 1(a)-34

provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Whole Loan if, without complying with the requirements of the Mortgage or loan agreement, (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, is directly transferred or sold (other than (i) by reason of family and estate planning transfers, transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, general partner or shareholder of the related borrower, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents, and (iii) transfers of less than a controlling interest (as such term is defined in the related underlying Purchased Asset Documents) in a mortgagor, (iv) issuance of non-controlling new equity interests, transfers among existing members, partners or shareholders in the Mortgagor or an affiliate thereof, transfers among affiliated Mortgagors with respect to Whole Loans which are cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with other Whole Loans or (v) transfers of a similar nature to the foregoing meeting the requirements of the Whole Loan (such as pledges of ownership interests that do not result in a change of control) or a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraph (34) below), or (b) the related Mortgaged Property or controlling interest in the borrower is encumbered in connection with subordinate financing by a lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any existing permitted additional debt, (ii) any purchase money security interests, or (iii) Permitted Liens or Title Exceptions. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Mortgagor with respect to any transfer, assumption or encumbrance requiring lender’s approval, including any Rating Agency fees incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance.

With respect to each Senior Interest and the related Whole Loan, except as set forth in the related Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, modified, altered, satisfied, impaired, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use, value or operation of such Mortgaged Property and no such waiver, modification, alteration, satisfaction, impairment, cancellation, subordination or rescission has occurred since the date upon which the due diligence file related to the applicable Purchased Asset was delivered to Buyer or its designee and neither borrower nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the related Whole Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be released without the consent of the holder of such Senior Interest; (b) no material action may be taken by the Mortgagor with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the consent of the holder of such Senior Interest; (c) the holder of such Senior Interest is entitled to approve the budget of the Mortgagor as it relates to the Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of such Senior Interest’s consent is required prior to the Mortgagor incurring any additional indebtedness.

Except as set forth in the Purchased Asset Documents delivered to Buyer, since origination, no material portion of any related Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of

Sch 1(a)-35

the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest or the Purchased Asset or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to Whole Loans (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Whole Loan secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Mortgaged Properties) “government securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the related Whole Loan (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property was contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the related Whole Loan, (c) where a partial release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain underwriting and legal (including REMIC, if applicable) requirements and the payment of a release price not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with certain underwriting and legal requirements (including REMIC Provisions, if applicable) or (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the security for the related Whole Loan or that were not allocated any value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of such Whole Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, the terms of the related Mortgage do not provide for release of any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full therefor.

With respect to any related Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of such Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the related Whole Loan.

Sch 1(a)-36

With respect to any related Whole Loan identified in writing by Seller to Buyer as being REMIC eligible, and if such Whole Loan was originated after December 6, 2010, no such Whole Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Whole Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

Based solely upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related title policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing such Whole Loan, there are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes or land laws applicable to the Mortgaged Property or the use, operation and occupancy thereof other than those which (i) are insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and ordinance insurance policy, (ii) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, or (iii) would not have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by prudent commercial mortgage lenders that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, or (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws and ordinances.

Sch 1(a)-37

related Mortgagor has covenanted in its respective organizational documents and/or the underlying Purchased Asset Documents to own no significant asset other than the related Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, and assets incidental to its respective ownership and operation of such Mortgaged Properties, and to hold itself out as being a legal entity, separate and apart from any other Person.

There are no pending, filed or threatened actions, suits or proceedings, governmental investigations or arbitrations of which Seller has received notice, against the Mortgagor, guarantor or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to pay principal, interest or any other amounts due under the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (f) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Whole Loan, (g) the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, if the related Mortgage is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, currently, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has either been properly designated and serving under such Mortgage or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or related security for such Whole Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid.

With respect to the Purchased Asset and each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, such Whole Loan and the Purchased Asset and all interest thereon (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) contracted for complies with, or is exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

The Senior Interest and related Whole Loan are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other Indebtedness that is not also a Purchased Asset.

All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) to be deposited with Seller in accordance with the underlying Purchased Asset Documents have been so deposited, are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its agent and there are

Sch 1(a)-38

no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits that are required to be escrowed with Seller under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the related Whole Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Purchased Asset Documents.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the related Mortgagor, or the related lessee, franchisor or operator was in possession of all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals then required for the use and operation of the related Mortgaged Property by the related Mortgagor, other than any licenses, permits and authorizations the failure to possess of which would not have a material adverse effect on the use or value of the Mortgaged Property. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the borrower to maintain all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and authorizations and approvals. The underlying Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

With respect to the Senior Interest and each related Whole Loan, the origination (or acquisition, as the case may be), servicing and collection practices used with respect to such Senior Interest and the related Whole Loan have been in all respects legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, except for Mortgagors under Whole Loans secured in whole or in part by a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee simple interest in each related Mortgaged Property.

The Purchased Asset Documents for each related Whole Loan provide that such Whole Loan is non-recourse to the related Mortgagor except that each such Whole Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. Furthermore, the Purchased Asset Documents for each related Whole Loan provide for recourse against the Mortgagor and/or guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) any Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or willful misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct, fraud or material misrepresentation by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the related Mortgaged Property.

Sch 1(a)-39

Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) and upon possession of the Mortgaged Property as required under applicable state law, any assignment of leases set forth in the Mortgage or separate from the related Mortgage and related to and delivered in connection with each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest establishes and creates a valid, first priority and enforceable collateral assignment of, or a valid first priority and enforceable lien and security interest in, the related Mortgagor’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 only to a license granted to the related mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The related Mortgage or related assignment of leases, subject to applicable law and to bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), provides that, upon an event of default under such related Whole Loan, the beneficiary thereof is permitted to seek the appointment of a receiver for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charge constitutes a “customary prepayment penalty” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).

If any Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest contains a provision for any defeasance of mortgage collateral, such Whole Loan permits defeasance (1) no earlier than two (2) years after any securitization of the related Whole Loan or the Senior Interest and (2) only with substitute collateral constituting “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(i) in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Note when due. If the related Whole Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the related Whole Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity. No related Whole Loan was originated with the intent to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages. In addition, if the Mortgage related to any such Whole Loan contains such a defeasance provision, it provides (or otherwise contains provisions pursuant to which the holder thereof can require) that an opinion be provided to the effect that such holder has a first priority perfected security interest in

Sch 1(a)-40

the defeasance collateral. The related underlying Purchased Asset Documents permit the lender to charge all of its expenses associated with a defeasance to the Mortgagor (including rating agencies’ fees, accounting fees and attorneys’ fees), and provide that the related Mortgagor must deliver (or otherwise, the underlying Purchased Asset Documents contain certain provisions pursuant to which the lender can require) (a) an accountant’s certification as to the adequacy of the defeasance collateral to make payments under the related Whole Loan for the remainder of its term, (b) an opinion of counsel that the defeasance will not cause any such holder to lose its status as a REMIC, and (c) assurances from each applicable Rating Agency that the defeasance will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the ratings assigned to any certificates backed by the related Whole Loan or the Senior Interest.

To the extent required under applicable law as necessary for the enforceability or collectability of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, each holder of the related Mortgage Note is authorized to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Whole Loan.

Neither the Mortgagee, the holder of the Senior Interest nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the Mortgagor under the Senior Interest or the related Whole Loan. Neither the Mortgagee, the holder of the Senior Interest nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make loans to, make guarantees on behalf of, or otherwise extend credit to, or make any of the foregoing for the benefit of, the Mortgagor or any other person under or in connection with the Senior Interest or the related Whole Loan.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, each related Mortgaged Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted or applied to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Whole Loan origination date and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute and had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of such Whole Loan. Such Appraisal satisfied in all material respects the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect on the date such Whole Loan was originated.

With respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, the related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to provide the Mortgagee with certain financial information at the times required under such Purchased Asset Documents.

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

Upon the foreclosure of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the related Whole Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor.

Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee.

The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only Permitted Liens and any Title Exceptions and the related fee interest of the ground lessor or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject.

Sch 1(a)-42

Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan).

The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender.

The ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of such Whole Loan and related change in ownership of the ground lessee will not require the consent of

Sch 1(a)-43

the ground lessor or constitute a default under the ground lease, (iii) copies of default notices would be sent to the Mortgagee and (iv) it would accept cure from the Mortgagee on behalf of the ground lessee.

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

Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage, and the holder of the Mortgage (if not the holder of the Senior Interest) is required to provide the holder of the Senior Interest, with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements (i) with respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for each related Whole Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage.

With respect to each Senior Interest with a related Whole Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Senior Interest and related Whole Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each related Whole Loan, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by availability on commercially reasonable terms.

Sch 1(a)-44

Each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as such Whole Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each related Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each related Whole Loan with a Purchase Date principal balance of $50 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” means an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if such Whole Loan has a Purchase Date principal balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Purchased Asset Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Whole Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Whole Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Whole Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

Each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Whole Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator), with respect to each Whole Loan related to a Senior Interest, complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of, as appropriate, all of Seller’s or such party’s origination, due diligence standards and/or practices for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as applicable, and, in each such case, otherwise complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

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

With respect to each Senior Interest with a related Whole Loan secured by retail, office or industrial properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the Certified Rent Roll. With respect to each related Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the origination date of the related Whole Loan, and each such estoppel indicated (x) the related lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each related Whole Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within ninety (90) days of the origination date of the related Whole Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Whole Loan that is represented on the rent roll. Each rent roll indicated that (x) each lease is in full force and effect and (y) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties either by the lessee thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions.

Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest.

No default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien relating to the Mortgaged Property ranking junior to, pari passu with or senior to the Mortgage securing the Whole Loan relating to such Senior Interest, and there is no provision in any such agreement which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien.

The representations and warranties made by the Mortgagor in the Purchased Asset Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mortgagor, the Whole Loan related to such Senior Interest or the related Mortgaged Property that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the Purchase Date.

The Senior Interest has not been and shall not be deemed to be a Security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
