Seller understand that it would be impractical and difficult to determine the
minimum detriment that Seller will suffer if Buyer breaches any term or
provision of this Agreement or for any reason Buyer is unable or fails to
consummate the transaction herein contemplated. In such event, Seller shall be
entitled to retain Buyer’s Deposit because such remedy represents a reasonable
estimate of the minimum detriment that Seller will suffer from, among other
things, short-term market fluctuations and perceived impairments to the market
value of the Loan resulting from Buyer’s breach or failure to consummate the
transaction herein contemplated. The payment and performance of the remedy in
this Section 3.6 is not intended to be a forfeiture or penalty within the
meaning of applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Seller also shall be entitled to retain Buyer’s Deposit if Seller does not
receive a Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period.

of the Loan; (ii) release any Collateral or Borrower from liability in
connection with the Loan unless the Loan is paid in full; (iii) compromise or
settle any Claims; (iv) initiate or otherwise take any action with respect to a
foreclosure against any Collateral except to the extent that such actions are
necessary or appropriate in Seller’s sole judgment as a continuation of actions
taken prior to the Bid Date; or (v) sell or encumber the Loan.

(b) If Seller complies in good faith with the provisions of Section 4.1(a), then
(i) Seller shall have no liability to Buyer with respect to servicing the Loan;
and (ii) Buyer shall be bound by Seller’s actions during the interim servicing
period specified in Section 4.1(a).

4.2. Servicing After the Closing Date.

all rights, obligations, liabilities, and responsibilities with respect to the
servicing and administration of the Loan will pass to Buyer, and Seller will be
discharged and released from all obligations, liability or responsibility
therefor. Buyer hereby acknowledges that, because the Loan may include
provisions for Impositions, negative amortization and/or balloon payments of
principal, the servicing of the Loan might be affected accordingly.

(b) As of the end of the Business Day on the Closing Date, Buyer will be solely
responsible and liable for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations governing the ownership, servicing or administration of the Loan,
including, without limitation, the obligation to notify Borrowers, guarantors or

provisions of Section 3.3 and Section 4.1(a). Without limiting the foregoing,
Seller also shall have no liability for actions taken at the request of, or with
the consent of, Buyer, and no such action will limit in any way Buyer’s
obligation to purchase the related Loan. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, Seller has no obligation to make any advance or to
pay any Imposition from its own funds.

following are true and accurate statements in all material aspects:

(a) Organization; Existence. Seller is duly formed and validly existing in the

the jurisdiction of its formation or organization. Seller is duly and legally
authorized to enter into this Agreement, and Seller’s representative is
authorized to act on behalf of and bind the Seller to the terms of this
Agreement.

(b) Authority. Seller has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and has the power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
Seller has complied with all laws, rules, regulations, charter provisions and
bylaws necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and
Seller’s representative is authorized to act on behalf of and bind Seller to the
terms of this Agreement.

(c) Enforceability. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer,
this Agreement and all the obligations of Seller hereunder are the legal, valid
and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium laws or similar laws or equitable principles
generally affecting or limiting the rights of contracting parties.

6.2. Representations and Warranties of Seller as to the Loan. With respect to
each Loan being purchased by Buyer hereunder, Seller hereby represents and
warrants to Buyer that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, the
following are true and accurate statements in all material aspects:

(a) Right to Sell. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and
transfer the Loan to Buyer. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending
against Seller in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or
instrumentality that would materially affect the ability of Seller to carry out
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(b) Sole Ownership. The Seller is the sole owner and rightful holder of the
Loan;

(c) Sale, Transfer and Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly disclosed in
the Due Diligence Materials, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Loan and
Loan Documents to Buyer will be free of any participation interest;

(d) Loan Balances. As of the Payment Cutoff Date, the UPB of the Loan was the
amount set forth in the Bid Summary Sheet;

(e) Interest Reserve. As of the Payment Cutoff Date, the amount of the Interest
Reserve for each Loan identified on Schedule 2 is true and correct;

(f) Loan Information. As of the Payment Cutoff Date, (i) the payment history,
and (ii) the current rate at which interest is being paid relating to each Loan
(each as set forth in the Due Diligence Materials) are true and correct in all
material respects;

(g) Enforceability. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the Notes and Loan
Documents are genuine and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the
maker or obligor thereof, enforceable against such maker or obligor in
accordance with their terms, except as such enforcement might be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of a creditors’ rights generally (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h) No Modification. The Due Diligence Materials contain true and correct copies
of Loan Documents in the possession of Seller and now in effect with respect to
each Loan. Except as set forth in the Due Diligence Materials, neither Seller
nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any prior holder of the Loan has modified any Note
or Loan Document or otherwise satisfied, canceled, extended or subordinated such
Note or Loan Document, in whole or in part. Except as disclosed in the Due
Diligence Materials, no material portion of the Collateral was released from the
lien of any Loan Document and no instrument of release, cancellation or
satisfaction was executed; and

(i) Cross-collateralization. Except as disclosed in the Due Diligence Materials
or Loan Files, the Loan is not secured by the same property as any other
commercial loan held by Seller or its affiliated entities, which is not the
subject of this Agreement.

6.3. Remedies. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party
shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, special or punitive
damages. It is expressly understood that the Seller’s representations and
warranties are made as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

(a) Definitions of Monetary and Non-Monetary Representations or Warranties. As
used herein and except as the context otherwise clearly requires, the singular
form of the following terms includes the plural form and vice versa. As used in
this Agreement, “Monetary Representation or Warranty” means a representation or
warranty set forth in Sections 6.2(d) and (e). As used in this Agreement,
“Non-Monetary Representation or Warranty” means any representation or warranty
other than a Monetary Representation or Warranty.

(b) Sole Remedy for Breach of Non-Monetary Representations or Warranties. If
within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer discovers that
Seller breached any Non-Monetary Representation or Warranty set forth in this
Agreement, the Buyer shall give written notice to Seller within ten
(10) calendar days of the discovery of such breach, and the Seller shall have
the right to cure such breach during a period of thirty (30) calendar days after
receipt of such notice. If such breach or failure is not duly cured within such
thirty (30) day period, or not otherwise waived or consented to in writing by
Buyer, then Seller shall elect, in its sole discretion to either (i) repurchase
the Loan at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) pay to Buyer the Buyer’s actual
damages directly caused by such breach, up to an amount not exceeding the
Repurchase Price. The remedies set forth in this Section 6.3(b) shall be the
exclusive remedies of the Buyer for any breach by Seller of a Non-Monetary
Representation or Warranty, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to any other
rights, remedies or other relief, at law or in equity, for Seller’s breach of a
Non-Monetary Representation or Warranty set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Sole Remedy for Breach of Monetary Representation or Warranties. If within
sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer discovers that Seller
breached any Monetary Representation or Warranty set forth in this Agreement,
the Buyer shall give written notice to Seller within ten (10) calendar days of
discovery of such breach, and the Seller shall have the right to cure such
monetary breach during a period of fifteen (15) calendar days after

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

receipt of such notice. Within such fifteen (15) day period, the Seller will pay
to Buyer all proper and valid amounts due and owing, if any, as a result of a
breach of a Monetary Representation or Warranty. Such amounts due and owing
shall be multiplied by the Bid Percentage. The remedies set forth in this
Section 6.3(c) shall be the exclusive remedies of the Buyer for any breach by
Seller of a Monetary Representation or Warranty, and the Buyer shall not be
entitled to any other rights, remedies or other relief, at law or in equity, for
Seller’s breach of a Monetary Representation or Warranty set forth in this
Agreement.

(d) Limitations. Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or
the representation set forth in Section 6.2(d) if the UPB changes between the
Payment Cutoff Date and the Closing Date. In such event and prior to Closing on
the Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Buyer a closing statement that reflects
the UPB as of the Closing Date as well as a new Purchase Price that is adjusted
pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

ARTICLE VII – CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING

the contrary in this Agreement and unless waived by the Buyer, Buyer’s
obligation to purchase the Loan and Loan Documents shall be subject to and

ARTICLE VIII – RETENTION OF LOANS BY SELLER

8.1 Retention of Loan. If prior to the Closing Date, Seller, in its sole
discretion, determines that Seller is unable to sell the Loan due to a court or
regulatory order or due to Seller’s knowing inability to satisfy its

sole and absolute discretion, may withdraw the applicable Loan from this

9.1. Termination by the Parties. This Agreement may be terminated by the parties
with the effects stated in Section 9.2 in any of the following ways:

(a) by either party in writing at any time on or prior to the Closing Date if
the other party has, in any material respect, breached any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking contained herein and such breach cannot
reasonably be cured prior to the Closing; or

(b) by either party in writing at any time after any regulatory authority has
denied an application for approval of the transaction contemplated hereby, if
such application is necessary, and the time period for an appeal has run.

provided in Section 9.1, neither party shall have any further liability or
obligation with respect to this Agreement (or the Real Estate Addendum), except

herein or otherwise is unable or fails to consummate the transaction
contemplated hereby, then, pursuant to Section 3.6 and 9.1(a), the Seller shall
be entitled to retain Buyer’s Deposit upon termination of this Agreement;
provided, however, that, if the failure to consummate the transaction is the
direct result of Seller’s prior breach or misrepresentation, then, Buyer, in its
sole election, shall either: (i) direct Escrow Agent to return immediately the
full amount of the Deposit to Buyer, in which case, Seller also shall pay to
Buyer all of Buyer’s actual and documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses
related to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in an aggregate amount
not to exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000); or (ii) seek the

applicable law. The rights of each of the parties hereunder shall not be capable
of being waived or varied except by an express waiver or variation in writing
and signed by both parties. Any failure to exercise or any delay in exercising
any such rights shall not operate as a waiver or variation of that right or any
other right. Any defective or partial exercise of any such rights shall not
preclude any other or further exercise of that right or any other right. No act
or course of conduct or negotiation on the part of any party shall in any way

for any breaches or failure to perform hereunder. Any such assignment prior to
Closing must be (i) made and executed substantially in the form of the
Assignment and Assumption of Loan Sale Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit E,

applicable. Buyer irrevocably waives any objection that it might now or
hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

transaction contemplated herein; or (ii) by applicable law or regulation;

party in order to provide the non-disclosing party with an opportunity to
contest such disclosure; and (y) be responsible and liable for ensuring that the
recipients of such disclosed information maintain the confidentiality of the

understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions
contemplated herein.

and warranty by the Buyer or Seller in this Agreement is made only as of the

any term, covenant, condition or provision hereof is held to be unlawful,
invalid, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, and such illegality,
invalidity, or unenforceability does not affect the remaining parts of this
Agreement, then all such remaining parts hereof shall be valid and enforceable
and shall have full force and effect as if the invalid or unenforceable part had
not been included.

10.16. Headings. The headings of the articles and sections contained in this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
