			(a)        From time to time prior to the expiration of the applicable Funding Period but not more frequently than twice per calendar week and with no 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”) (i) describing the Transaction and each proposed Asset and any related Mortgaged Property and other security therefor in reasonable detail, (ii) transmitting a complete Underwriting Package (or whatever portion thereof is then currently available to Seller) for each proposed Asset, (iii) specifying which (if any) of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement (including in Schedule 1(a),  1(b),  1(c) or 1(d) applicable to the Class of such Asset) Seller will be unable to make with respect to such Asset, (iv) indicating whether or not Seller proposes to treat such Asset as a CMBS Purchased Asset, and (v) indicating the

			amount of all unfunded future funding obligations. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Buyer of a Transaction Request, Buyer shall indicate to Seller its preliminary approval or disapproval of the proposed Asset. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any supplemental materials requested at any time by Buyer, provided the same are either in Seller’s possession or are reasonably obtainable by Seller. 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. 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, Seller shall immediately repurchase the related Asset or Assets in accordance with Section 3.04.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        If Buyer communicates to Seller a final non-binding determination that it is willing to purchase any or all of such Assets, which non-binding determination shall include the principal terms for the proposed Transaction, 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, whether such Asset is a Future Funding Asset and, if so, the amount of the future funding obligations, and such other terms and conditions as Buyer may require, and indicating whether or not Seller proposes to treat such Asset as a CMBS Purchased Asset. 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, 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.

If Buyer has not communicated such final determination to Seller by such date, Buyer shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have determined not to purchase the related proposed Purchased Asset.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(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.

			Agreement with respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail.

In each case, the portion of all such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset that is required to be paid to Buyer pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) above, as applicable, will be applied by Buyer to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer under this Agreement, and then to reduce the Repurchase Prices of the other Purchased Assets in such order and in such amounts as Buyer shall determine and, subject to Section 5.03, any remaining net proceeds not required to be paid to Buyer shall be remitted to Seller.
		

		
			 
		

		
			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 the related Seller Party shall pay all amounts due to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under the related Interest Rate Protection Agreement and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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) 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.

Any such 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 created by Buyer. 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, (A) on or before the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, Seller shall repurchase all CMBS Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other related outstanding Repurchase Obligations, and (B) on or before the Maturity Date, Seller shall repurchase all remaining Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations.

			(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 Non-Utilization Fee, which shall be due and payable on an annual basis as set forth in the definition thereof; provided that, with respect to any Non- Utilization Fee that becomes due and payable to Buyer by Seller, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a notice (which may be sent via facsimile or e-mail), setting forth (A) the amount due and (B) the calculations upon which such Non-Utilization Fee is based.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)       the Exit Fee, which will be due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Fee and Pricing Letter (as amended hereby);

			Section 3.07  Extension of the Maturity Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Seller shall have the options (each, an “Extension Option”) to (x) extend the Initial Maturity Date for an additional period of one year to the First Extended Maturity Date (the period of such first extension, the “First Extension Term”), (y) if the Initial Maturity Date has been so extended, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date for an additional consecutive period of one year to the Second Extended Maturity Date (the period of such second extension, the “Second Extension Term”), and (z) if the First Extended Maturity Date has been so extended, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date for an additional consecutive period of one year to the Third Extended Maturity Date (the period of such third extension, the “Third Extension Term”; together with the First Extension Term and the Second Extension Term, collectively, the “Extension Terms”). Each Extension Option, if Seller elects to request same, shall be exercised by delivery to Buyer from Seller of written notice requesting an extension of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, no earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be. Following the receipt of notice in the manner set forth herein, Buyer shall grant each Extension Option subject to the requirement that, as of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Extension Conditions”) are satisfied, as determined by Buyer: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no Margin Deficit is outstanding, (iii) Seller is in compliance with the Debt Yield Test, (iv) all Purchased Assets qualify as Eligible Assets (or, if any Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset, Seller has repurchased such Purchased Asset no later than the earlier of (x) the then-current Maturity Date, or (y) three (3) business days after the delivery of notice thereof from Buyer, provided that the failure of Buyer to deliver such written notice shall not be construed as a waiver of Buyer’s right to require Seller to satisfy all of the Extension Conditions), and (v) Seller has paid to Buyer the applicable Extension Fee; provided that, with respect to the Extension Condition set forth in clause (i), if a Default (but no Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing as of the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Maturity Date, as the case may be, then the Initial Maturity Date, First Extended Maturity Date or Second Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be extended on an interim basis until the earlier of (x) the date such Default is cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (whereupon the applicable Extension Option shall be immediately effective and the then current Maturity Date shall be extended for the applicable Extension Term) or (y) the date that the applicable cure period for such Default expires and such Default has not been cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such Extension Option shall not be effective and the Maturity Date shall be deemed to immediately occur). For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of the Second Extension Term shall not effect, or be deemed to effect, an extension of the Funding Period solely as a result of such exercise of the Second Extension Option and the Funding Period shall only be extended for such Second Extension Term if and to the extent Buyer agrees to such extension of the Funding Period in its sole discretion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Seller shall have the option to extend the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date for an additional period of one year by delivery to Buyer from Seller of written notice

Following the receipt of notice in the manner set forth herein, Buyer shall grant the applicable Extension Option, subject to the requirement that, as of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, each of the Extension Conditions, other than payment of the Extension Fee, are satisfied, as determined by Buyer; provided that, with respect to the Extension Condition set forth in clause (i) of such definition, if a Default (but no Event of Default) has occurred and is continuing as of the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date, then the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date shall be extended on an interim basis until the earlier of (x) the date such Default is cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such extension shall be deemed to have been granted) or (y) the date that the applicable cure period for such Default expires and such Default has not been cured to Buyer’s satisfaction (in which case such extension shall be deemed to have been denied and the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date shall be deemed to immediately occur).
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, except for Future Funding Transactions that may be entered into by Buyer and Seller in connection with Trailing Future Funding Obligations in accordance with Section 3.10(d) hereof, no additional Transactions shall be entered into after the expiration of the Funding Period.

			Section 3.08 Payment, Transfer and Custody.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts required to be paid or deposited by Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. on the 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. If Seller fails to pay all or part of any Repurchase Price amount by 5:00 p.m., New York City time on any date when due, Buyer may require Seller to pay (in addition to, and together with, such past-due Repurchase Price) a late fee equal to one percent (1%) of the total amount of the late payment, plus interest on such past due Repurchase Price as provided in Section 18.16, until any such past due Repurchase Price is 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 Servicing Agreement Account. Amounts in the Servicing Agreement Account established and maintained in connection with the Servicing Agreement may be invested at the direction and

			(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 Servicer with its duties under the Servicing Agreement or any other applicable Servicing Agreement. Each Purchased Asset Document retained or held by 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.

The Repurchase Obligations shall be (i) full recourse to Seller and (ii) 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.

			(a)        Prior to the Maturity Date (as may be extended pursuant to Section 3.07(a)) or the CMBS Purchased Asset Maturity Date (without giving effect to any extension pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), Seller may request that Buyer enter into a Future Funding Transaction, by delivering either (i) a signed, written confirmation substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto prior to the related Future Funding Date (each, a “Future Funding Confirmation”), signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller or (ii) an amended and restated Confirmation. Each Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, shall (i) identify the related Purchased Asset, (ii) specify the amount of the related future advance made or to be made by Seller to the Underlying Obligor and the requested Future Funding Amount, (iii) specify the Future Funding Date, (iv) specify the Book Value of the Purchased Asset before and after giving effect to the related future advance, (v) specify the Purchase Price of the Purchased Asset before and after giving effect to the requested Future Funding Amount and (vi) be executed by both Buyer (upon Buyer’s approval of such Future Funding Transaction) and Seller; provided,  however, that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller if it inadvertently acts on a Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, that has not been signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller. Each Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Future Funding Transaction covered thereby. If terms in a Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, are inconsistent with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Future Funding Transaction, the terms of such Future Funding Confirmation or amended and restated Confirmation, as applicable, shall prevail. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, either expressed or implied, all future funding obligations set forth in any Purchased Asset Document are and shall at all times remain solely the obligations of Seller.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        For each proposed Future Funding Transaction, no less than seven (7) 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 review the Future Funding Request Package and to update Buyer’s original due diligence and to conduct additional due diligence with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset/or the related Whole Loan, Senior Interest, Mezzanine Loan and/or Junior Interest as Buyer determines.

			(d)        If Seller applies to extend the Maturity Date to the Second Extension Termination Date or Third Extension Termination Date in accordance with Section 3.07(a) within the time period permitted thereunder, Seller shall, in each case, submit to Buyer a list of all Purchased Assets with unfunded future funding obligations and provide such other related information as requested by Buyer. Buyer shall have the option to approve or reject any or all of the items on Seller’s list, as determined in its discretion on or before the first day of the Second Extension Term or the Third Extension Term, as applicable. All of the approved items, if any, on Seller’s list shall, immediately thereafter, be incorporated by reference into this Agreement as Schedule 3 hereto and thereafter, each such approved item shall be referred to as a “Trailing Future Funding Obligation”. During the Second Extension Term and Third Extension Term, Seller shall be permitted to request Future Funding Transactions that constitute Trailing Future Funding Obligations, so long as each such unfunded Future Funding Transaction satisfies all of the terms, conditions and requirements set forth in Section 3.10(b) other than the requirement that the Funding Period has not expired, so long as each such Future Funding Transaction is entered into prior to the last day of the Second Extension Term or Third Extension Term, as applicable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.11  Additional Purchase Advance Transactions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Prior to the Maturity Date (as same may be extended through to the Second Extended Maturity Date), Seller may request that Buyer increase the Maximum Applicable Percentage for any Purchased Asset other than a CMBS Purchased Asset, by written request delivered no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the proposed date for the requested additional advance that would be based on such increased percentage (each such transaction pursuant to which such an advance is made, an “Additional Purchase Advance Transaction” and the amount advanced in any such transaction, an “Additional Purchase Advance”). In connection with any such Additional Purchase Advance Transaction, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new Maximum Applicable Percentage and outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset.

The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each Repurchase Document to which it is a party do not and will not (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any (i) Governing Document, Indebtedness, Guarantee Obligation or Contractual Obligation applicable to Seller or any of its properties or assets, (ii) Requirements of Law, or (iii) approval, consent, judgment, decree, order or demand of any Governmental Authority, or (b) result in the creation of any Lien (other than, except with respect to any Purchased Asset, any Liens granted pursuant to or by the Repurchase Documents) on any of the properties or assets of Seller.

None of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor has entered into any agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into any agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. No tax liens have been filed against any assets of Seller, Manager, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor. Seller does not intend to treat any Transaction as being a “reportable transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011—4.

All written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer in connection with the Repurchase Documents and the Transactions will be true, correct and complete in all material respects, or in the case of projections will be based on reasonable estimates prepared and presented in good faith, on the date as of which such information is stated or certified.

			thereunder. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller are in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and any foreign counterpart thereto. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate of Seller has made, offered, promised or authorized a payment of money or anything else of value (a) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (b) to any foreign official, foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, or (c) with the intent to induce the recipient to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or any other Person, in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 7.08  Compliance with ERISA. (a) Neither Seller has any employees as of the date of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Each of Seller and Guarantor either (i) qualifies as a VCOC or a REOC, (ii) complies with an exception set forth in the Plan Asset Regulations such that the assets of such Person would not be subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, or (iii) does not hold any “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations that are subject to ERISA.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Assuming that no portion of the Purchased Assets are funded by Buyer with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, none of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Documents will constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject the Buyer to any tax or penalty or prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 7.09  No Default or Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date and as of the Purchase Date for each Transaction hereunder, no Event of Default and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no Default exists. Seller 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 except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, that it is not subject to any agreement, obligation, restriction or Requirements of Law which would unduly burden its ability to do so or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller in writing, prior to the Closing Date or, as applicable, the related Purchase Date for each Transaction, Seller has no Knowledge of any actual or prospective development, event or other fact that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Internal Control Event has occurred.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 7.10  Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset.

			-59-

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			reasonably lead it to expect that any Purchased Asset will not be paid in full. None of the Purchased Asset Documents has any marks or notations indicating that it has been sold, assigned, pledged, encumbered or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than Buyer. If any Purchased Asset Document requires the holder or transferee of the related Purchased Asset to be a qualified transferee, qualified institutional lender or qualified lender (however defined), Seller meets such requirement. Assuming that Buyer also meets such requirement, the assignment and pledge of such Purchased Asset to Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Documents do not violate such Purchased Asset Document. Seller and all Affiliates of Seller (a) have sold and transferred all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Assets to Buyer, and (b) have no Retained Interests.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 7.11  Purchased Assets Acquired from Transferors.

			Section 7.12  Transfer and Security Interest. The Repurchase Documents constitute a valid and effective transfer to Buyer of all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under all Purchased Assets (together with all related Servicing Rights), free and clear of any Liens, subject only to the Permitted Liens described in clause (d) of the definition thereof. With respect to the protective security interest granted by Seller in Section 11.01, upon the delivery of the Confirmations and the Purchased Asset Documents to Custodian, the execution and delivery of the Controlled Account Agreement and the filing of the UCC financing statements as provided herein, such security interest shall be a valid first priority perfected security interest to the extent such security interest can be perfected by possession, filing or control under the UCC (other than Liens granted pursuant to or by the Repurchase Documents). Upon receipt by Custodian of each Purchased Asset Document required to be endorsed in blank by Seller and payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price for the related Purchased Asset, Buyer shall either (a) own such Purchased Asset and the related Purchased Asset Documents or (b) have a valid first priority perfected security interest in such Purchased Asset and the related Purchased Asset Documents. At Buyer’s election (and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, or if completed and recorded following a Material Default or Event of Default, at Seller’s sole cost and expense), Buyer or any nominee or agent of 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 Asset Documents. Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements filed against Seller as debtor that include the Purchased Assets, other than any financing statement that has been terminated or filed pursuant to this Agreement.

No part of the proceeds of any Transaction shall be used for any purpose that violates Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Seller shall conduct or cause to be conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the origination or acquisition of each Purchased Asset for purposes of complying with the Anti-Terrorism Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Underlying Obligor (and, in the case of a Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, the Underlying Obligor with respect to the related Whole Loan) and the origin of the assets used by such Person to purchase the Mortgaged Property, and will maintain sufficient information to identify such Person for purposes of the Anti-Terrorism Laws.

			Section 8.03  Structural Changes. Seller shall not enter into merger or consolidation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve, or sell all or substantially all of its assets or properties (except in the ordinary course of its business or as contemplated herein), or permit any changes in the ownership of its Equity Interests which results in a Change of Control of Seller, without the consent of Buyer (unless, in any of the foregoing cases, the Repurchase Obligations are paid in full in connection with any such transaction). Seller shall ensure that all direct Equity Interests of Seller shall continue to be directly owned by the owner or owners thereof as of the date hereof. Seller shall ensure that neither the Equity Interests of Seller nor any property or assets of Seller shall be pledged to any Person other than Buyer. Seller shall not enter into any transaction with an Affiliate of Seller unless such transaction is on market and arm’s-length terms and conditions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 8.04  Protection of Buyer’s Interest in Purchased Assets. With respect to each Purchased Asset, Seller shall take all action necessary or required by the Repurchase Documents, Purchased Asset Documents and each and every Requirements of Law, or requested by Buyer, to perfect, protect and more fully evidence Buyer’s ownership of and first priority perfected security interest in such Purchased Asset and related Purchased Asset Documents, including executing or causing to be executed (a) such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or appropriate and filing and maintaining effective UCC financing statements, continuation statements and assignments and amendments thereto, and (b) all documents necessary to both collaterally and absolutely and unconditionally assign all rights (but none of the obligations) of Seller under each Purchase Agreement, in each case as additional collateral security for the payment and performance of each of the Repurchase Obligations, to the extent permitted under the terms of each related Purchase Agreement.

Seller shall not materially amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any Purchase Agreement or the Servicing Agreement. Seller shall not, or permit any Servicer to make or enter into any Material Modification to any Purchased Asset, Purchased Asset Document without Buyer’s prior written consent; provided, however, that if any Material Modification is made with respect to a NCPPP Purchased Asset without Buyer’s consent, such Material Modification shall not constitute a breach of this sentence if Seller did not have the right to consent to same. Seller shall mark its computer records and tapes to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder. Seller shall not take any action to cause any Purchased Asset that is not evidenced by an instrument or chattel paper (as defined in the UCC) to be so evidenced.

			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 payment and 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 (i) the Purchased Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof), and (ii) each Interest Rate Protection Agreement with each Hedge Counterparty relating to each Purchased Asset, and the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer shall be deemed to constitute and confirm such grant, to secure the payment and performance of the Repurchase Obligations (including the obligation of Seller to pay the Repurchase Price, or if the related Transaction is recharacterized as a loan, to repay such loan for the Repurchase Price).

			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 or between any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty 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 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 and to all other Affiliated Hedge Counterparties that it is, a first priority perfected security interest. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) each Purchased Asset and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question and (B) if an Event of Default exists, no Purchased Asset or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full; provided,  however, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be required to release its Lien on any Purchased Asset in the event of a repayment in full by the Underlying Obligor of any Whole Loan, Senior Interest, Junior Interest, Mezzanine Loan or Mezzanine Participation Interest, and Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset in accordance with Section 3.04. 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 or any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, whether or not Buyer exercises any right with respect thereto. Seller and any other related Seller Party, as applicable, shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets, each Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the Purchased Asset Documents to perform all of Seller’s or all other Seller Party’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

			(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 shall be increased by Seller 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.
		

		
			 
		

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

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.

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 giving rise to such refund 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.

Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 12 (subject to the requirements and limitations and obligations set forth therein, including the requirements under Section 12.06(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.06(e) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)) and Article 13 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c),  provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 12.04 or Section 12.06 than its participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer or such Participant with a request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from a central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer or such Participant, in each case made or issued after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant shall also be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.02(j) and 18.17 to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.08(c).

Each such assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F (an “Assignment and Acceptance”),  a copy of which shall be delivered to Seller as soon as reasonably possible after the execution thereof. 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; provided that Buyer shall remain solely responsible to Seller for the performance of Buyer’s obligations under the Repurchase Documents, (ii) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Repurchase Documents, and (iii) 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).

Buyer may make any such payment in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, 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 (5th) 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 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 and perfected security interests, senior to the rights of any other creditor of Seller, which opinion may contain usual and customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions.

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.

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 Parties by Seller and Guarantor under the Repurchase Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, 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 any Party 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

Buyer may perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, Seller and Affiliates of Seller, including ordering new third party reports, for purposes of, among other things, verifying compliance with the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, duties, obligations and specifications made under the Repurchase Documents or otherwise. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, in which case no notice is required, Buyer or its representatives may during normal business hours inspect any properties and examine, inspect and make copies of the books and records of Seller and Affiliates of Seller, the Purchased Asset Documents, the Senior Interest Documents and the Servicing Files. Seller shall make available to Buyer one or more knowledgeable financial or accounting officers and representatives of the independent certified public accountants of Seller for the purpose of answering questions of Buyer concerning any of the foregoing. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer by permitting Buyer to conduct due diligence reviews of the Servicing Files.

If any amount shall be paid to the Paying Seller on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all such amounts shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Paying Seller in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of the Paying Seller, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Paying Seller, be turned over to Buyer in the exact form received by the Paying Seller (duly indorsed by the Paying Seller to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Repurchase Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine.

			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 in the Confirmation for such Purchased Asset as of the 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.        The Whole Loan is a performing mortgage loan secured by a first priority security interest in a commercial or multifamily property.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.        As of the Purchase Date, such Whole Loan complied in all material respects with, or is exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to such Whole Loan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.        Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer thereof, 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. Upon consummation of the purchase contemplated to occur in respect of such Whole Loan on the 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.        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 Person in connection with the origination of such Whole Loan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.        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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.        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 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			Sch. 1(a)-1

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			by its terms modifies or affects the rights and obligations of any holder of such Whole Loan and Seller has not and 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.        Such Whole Loan is presently outstanding, the proceeds thereof have been fully disbursed pursuant to the terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents and, except for amounts held in escrow by Seller, there is no requirement for any future advances thereunder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.        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 part nor has any instrument been executed that would effect a cancellation, satisfaction or rescission thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.        Other than consents and approvals obtained as of the related Purchase Date or those already granted in the related Mortgage and/or Mortgage Note, 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.      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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.      Seller has not received written notice of any outstanding 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.      Seller has not advanced funds, or knowingly 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			13.      Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a document separate from the Mortgage) and other agreement executed by the related Mortgagor in connection with such Whole Loan is legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), 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 and such Purchased Asset Documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded 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 Seller to assign, transfer and convey the related Whole Loan to any other Person, except, however, for customary intercreditor restrictions limiting assignees to “Qualified Transferees”. With respect to any underlying Mortgaged Property that has tenants, there exists as either part of the Mortgage or as a separate document, an assignment of leases.
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.      As of the date of its origination, there was no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission with respect to any related Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements executed in connection therewith, and, as of the Purchase Date, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right to rescission with respect to any such Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other agreements, except in each case, with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.      Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original Mortgage Note(s) made in respect of such Whole Loan, together with an original endorsement thereof executed by Seller in blank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.      Each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller in blank constitutes the legal, valid and binding first priority assignment from Seller (assuming the insertion of the 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).
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.      The Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related underlying Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (13) 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 use of the underlying 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 underlying 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 use of the underlying 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 underlying 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 use of the underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether under ground leases, space leases or operating leases) at the underlying 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 use of the underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged Property. Except with respect to cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted Whole Loans and as provided below, there are no mortgage loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related underlying Mortgaged Property or such Whole Loan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			18.      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 all UCC filing offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property located on the underlying Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate the underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged 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 such items of personalty 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			19.      All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof, which would be a lien on the underlying Mortgaged Property and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of the underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established. 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.      Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, as of the Purchase Date, the related underlying 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			Sch. 1(a)-4

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or which are currently being maintained) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged Property.
		

		
			 
		

		
			21.      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 a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns, subject only to the Title Exceptions; the holder of the Mortgage (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 will inure to the benefit of the Buyer 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 underlying Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any underlying 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			22.      As of the Purchase Date, insurance coverage was being maintained with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such underlying Mortgaged Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils insurance policy, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such underlying Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such underlying 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 12 months of operations of the related underlying Mortgaged Property, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to the related underlying Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable through the Purchase Date 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 underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related underlying Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The

			underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. 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 underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” (or the equivalent) from S&P and Fitch or “Baa3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s. If the underlying Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan and (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related underlying Mortgaged Property.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The insurance policies contain a standard Mortgagee clause naming Seller, 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, 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			23.      (a) Other than payments due but not yet 30 days or more delinquent, there is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note, 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) and (b) Seller has not waived any material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under such Mortgage or Mortgage Note and pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and other documents in 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			24.      As of the Purchase Date, such Whole Loan is not, and since its origination, has not been (or, if such Whole Loan was not originated by Seller or its Affiliate, to Seller’s Knowledge, has not been), 30 days or more past due in respect of any scheduled payment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			25.      Each related Mortgage does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related underlying Mortgaged Property 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			Sch. 1(a)-6

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permit the related underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the 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 Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).
		

		
			 
		

		
			26.      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 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 80% of the principal amount of the Whole Loan (a) as of the Testing Date, or (b) as of the 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			27.      There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the underlying Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Underlying Obligor has taken any actions which would cause the underlying 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			28.      Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, together with applicable state law, contains customary and enforceable provisions for comparable mortgaged properties similarly situated such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the underlying Mortgaged Property of the benefits

			of the security, 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).

			(vii)      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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(viii)    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 20 years beyond the stated maturity date of the Whole Loan.

The underlying Whole Loan is secured by one or more Mortgages and each such Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related underlying Mortgaged Property subject only to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (17) 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 use of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the applicable policy described in paragraph (24) below or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the use of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying 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 use of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether under ground leases, space leases or operating leases) at the underlying Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding

			(provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such underlying Whole Loan is cross-collateralized with any other underlying Whole Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other underlying Whole Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the use of the underlying Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the underlying Whole Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the underlying Mortgaged Property. Except with respect to cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted underlying Whole Loans and as provided below, there are no mortgage loans that are senior or pari passu with respect to the related underlying Mortgaged Property or such underlying Whole Loan.

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 all UCC filing offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property located on each related underlying Mortgaged Property that are owned by the Mortgagor and either (i) are reasonably necessary to operate such underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) are (as indicated in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related underlying Whole Loan) material to the value of such underlying Mortgaged Property (other than any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest or a sale and leaseback financing arrangement permitted under the terms of such underlying 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 underlying Whole Loan establish and create a valid and enforceable lien and priority security interest on such items of personalty except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			22.      All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof, which would be a lien on any related underlying Mortgaged Property and that prior to the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset have become delinquent in respect of such underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established. 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			23.      Except as may be set forth in the property condition reports delivered to Buyer with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, as of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset, each related underlying Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination or

			24.      With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, the lien of each related Mortgage as a first priority lien in the original principal amount of such underlying Whole Loan after all advances of principal is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring the Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, subject only to 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 trustee as 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 underlying Mortgaged Property is located to the extent required; such policy contains no material exclusions for, or affirmatively insures (except for any underlying 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			25.      With respect to each related underlying Whole Loan, as of the Purchase Date, insurance coverage was being maintained with respect to the underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance in all material respects with the requirements under each related Mortgage, which insurance covered such risks as were customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such underlying Mortgaged Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils insurance policy, is in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such underlying Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan, and in any event, the amount necessary to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such underlying 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 12 months of operations of the related underlying Mortgaged Property, all of which is in full force and effect with respect to each related underlying Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable through the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset 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 mortgage 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 underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the underlying Whole Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related underlying Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for

			similar loans. The underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of the underlying 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 underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. 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 underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” (or the equivalent) from S&P and Fitch or “Baa3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s. If the underlying Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such underlying Whole Loan and (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related underlying Mortgaged Property.
		

		
			 
		

		
			26.      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, 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			27.      Intentionally Omitted.

			29.      Each Mortgage related to the underlying Whole Loan does not provide for or permit, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Mortgage Note, the related underlying Mortgaged Property to secure any other promissory note or obligation except as expressly described in the following sentence. The related underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permits the related underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the 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 Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after the Purchase Date of the related Whole Loan).

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.

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

The related underlying Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents permit the related underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset without the prior written consent of the holder thereof, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Underlying Mortgage (other than Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after such Purchase Date).

Other means of notice or instruction may be used provided that Secured Party and the Custodian agree to appropriate security procedures. Upon receipt by the Custodian of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Custodian shall thereafter follow only the instructions or entitlement orders of Secured Party with respect to the Collateral Accounts and shall comply with any entitlement order or instructions (within the meaning of Sections 8-102, 9-104 and 9-106 of the UCC) received from Secured Party with respect thereto, including without limitation instructions directing the disposition of funds held in the Deposit Account, without further consent of Pledgor or any other person, and Custodian will not comply with entitlement orders or instructions concerning the Collateral originated by Pledgor without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)     The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with entitlement orders or instructions originated by Secured Party concerning the Collateral Accounts. The Custodian shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination to verify the existence of an event of default or compliance by either Secured Party or Pledgor with applicable law or the Security Agreement, and the Custodian shall be fully protected in complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control whether or not Pledgor may allege that no such event of default or other like event exists.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.           Distributions. The Custodian shall, without further action by Pledgor or Secured Party, credit to Deposit Account all interest, dividends and other income received by the Custodian on the Collateral (collectively, “Proceeds”) as additional Collateral.

			Agreement”) to join Sub-2-A as an additional Debtor under the Existing Controlled Account Agreement and to evidence and perfect Secured Party’s security interest in the Waterfall Account and to provide for the disposition of Checks deposited into the Waterfall Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			G.      Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Sub-2, Sub-2-A, Guarantor, Secured Party and Bank desire to amend and restate the Existing Controlled Account Agreement on the terms set forth herein. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			Accordingly, Debtor, Secured Party and Bank agree as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.      (a) Bank shall establish, and thereafter maintain, the Waterfall Account in the name of Debtor (with such additional descriptive detail as Debtor shall designate to Bank), subject to the security interest (subject to any Permitted Liens) granted by Debtor in favor of Secured Party. Bank is hereby authorized to follow its usual operating procedures with respect to the administration of the Waterfall Account and the handling of any Checks, except as such usual operating procedures are modified by this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      This Agreement evidences Secured Party’s control over the Waterfall Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement between Debtor and Bank pertaining to the Waterfall Account, Bank will comply with all instructions originated by Secured Party concerning the disposition of funds in the Waterfall Account (including, without limitation, instructions concerning the disposition of all Checks) from time to time on deposit therein without further consent of Debtor.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party and Bank that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Waterfall Account or any Check deposited in the Waterfall Account, except to Secured Party.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      Bank has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Waterfall Account or the Checks credited to the Waterfall Account or funds held in the Waterfall Account pursuant to which it has agreed, or will agree, to comply with orders or instructions of such other person.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.      Bank shall prevent Debtor from making any withdrawals from the Waterfall Account at any time, except for such withdrawals as may be specifically authorized in writing by Secured Party. All withdrawals or disbursements from the Waterfall Account shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 1(b) of this Agreement and Article 5 of the Repurchase Agreement. All Income received by Debtor, Secured Party or Bank in respect of the Purchased Assets, shall be deposited directly into the Waterfall Account and shall be applied to and remitted by Bank in accordance with Article 5 of the Repurchase Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.      Bank agrees it shall not offset, charge, deduct or otherwise withdraw funds from the Waterfall Account, except as permitted by Section 4 below, until it has been advised in writing by Secured Party that all of Debtor’s obligations that are secured by the Checks and the Waterfall Account are paid in full. In the event that Bank has or hereafter obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Waterfall Account or the Checks credited to the Waterfall Account or funds held in the Waterfall Account, Bank hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of Secured Party. Secured Party shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of Debtor’s obligations.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			4.      Bank is permitted to charge the Waterfall Account:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      for its fees and charges relating to the Waterfall Account and or associated with this Agreement; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      in the event that any Check deposited into the Waterfall Account is returned unpaid for any reason.
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.      If the balance in the Waterfall Account is not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees or charges due Bank in connection with this Agreement or to pay Bank for any returned Check, Debtor agrees to pay Bank upon written demand therefore, the amount due to Bank. Debtor will have breached this Agreement if it has not paid Bank, within three Business Days after the date of such demand, the amount due Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a) Bank agrees that it shall not offset against the Waterfall Account until it has been advised in writing by Secured Party that all obligations that are secured by the Checks and the Waterfall Account are paid in full. Secured Party shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of such obligations and this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon receipt of such notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.      Resignation of Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      Bank shall have the right to resign as Bank hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Debtor and Secured Party, and in the event of such resignation, Debtor shall appoint a successor bank which must be an Eligible Institution (as defined below) and be approved by Secured Party in its sole discretion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      In connection with any resignation by Bank, the resigning bank shall, at the sole cost of Debtor, (A) duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor bank this Agreement and all funds held by it hereunder, (B) execute such instruments as may be necessary to give effect to such succession and (C) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by Debtor or the successor bank in connection with the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      At any time Bank fails to meet the requirements of an Eligible Institution, Secured Party may require Debtor to designate a substitute for Bank. Debtor shall designate a substitute for Bank, which meets the requirements of an Eligible Institution, within thirty (30) days after Secured Party’s request, and the substitute designated by Debtor shall be subject to the approval of Secured Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Debtor fails to designate a substitute for Bank within thirty (30) days or if the substitute does not meet the requirements of an Eligible Institution in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, then Secured Party may designate a substitute for Bank, subject to the reasonable approval of Debtor, which substitute meets the requirements of an Eligible Institution and such substitute designated by Secured Party shall be deemed Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      For the purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Institution” mean shall mean a depository institution or trust company insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the short term unsecured debt obligations or commercial paper of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “P-1” by Moody’s and “F-1+” by Fitch in the case of accounts in which funds are held for thirty (30) days or less (or, in the case of accounts in which funds are held for 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			more than thirty (30) days, the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by Fitch and S&P and “Aa2” by Moody’s). Bank has no duty to inform Secured Party or Debtor whether it is or is not an Eligible Institution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.      (a) Bank will not be liable to Debtor or Secured Party for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to its performance under this Agreement other than those Damages which result directly from its acts or omissions constituting negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to, lost profits.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of Debtor or Secured Party or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.      Debtor shall hereby indemnifies Bank against, and hold it harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages of any nature (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement) in any way arising out of or relating to disputes or legal actions concerning Bank’s performance under this Agreement or with respect to the Waterfall Account or any Check. This section does not apply to any cost or damage attributable to the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Bank. Debtor’s obligations under this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.      Debtor and Secured Party each represent and warrant to Bank that (i) this Agreement constitutes its duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation; (ii) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not (A) constitute or result in a breach of its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or partnership agreement, as applicable, or the provisions of any material contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (B) result in the violation of any law, regulation, judgment, decree or governmental order applicable to it; and (iii) all approvals and authorizations required to permit the execution, delivery, performance and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder have been obtained.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.    Debtor agrees that:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      it cannot, and shall not, withdraw any monies from the Waterfall Account until such time as Secured Party advises Bank in writing that Secured Party no longer claims any 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			interest in the Waterfall Account and the monies deposited and to be deposited in the Waterfall Account; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      it shall not permit the Waterfall Account to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, nature or description, other than Secured Party’s security interest referred to herein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.    Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that Bank has the right to charge the Waterfall Account from time to time, as set forth in this Agreement, as this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, and that Secured Party has no right to the sums so withdrawn by Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.    Bank will provide Secured Party and the Debtor with a duplicate of each statement prepared in respect of the Waterfall Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			13.    Debtor agrees to pay to Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (but not including the costs of any in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required hereunder, including but not limited to any such reasonable costs, expenses and fees arising out of the resolution of any conflict, dispute, motion regarding entitlement to rights or rights of action, or other action to enforce Bank’s rights in a case arising under Title 11, United States Code. Debtor agrees to pay Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (but not including the costs of any in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in the preparation and administration of this Agreement (including any amendments hereto or instruments or agreements required hereunder).
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.    Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Debtor, or in the event of the commencement of any similar case under then applicable federal or state law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors by or against Debtor, Bank may act as Bank deems reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and shall be held harmless from any claim of any of the parties for so doing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.    This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by Debtor, Secured Party and Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts; all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Bank agrees that its “bank’s jurisdiction” within the meaning of Section 9-304(b)(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York shall be the Sate of New York.

			SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTROLLED ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

			A.      Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Servicing and Sub- Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sub-Servicing Agreement”) among Debtor, as Seller, Secured Party, as Buyer, Bank, as Servicer, and SPT Management, LLC, as Sub-Servicer, Servicer established at Bank deposit account number (the “Servicer Account”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			B.      Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Repurchase and Securities Contract, dated as of February 28, 2011 (the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”) between Debtor, as Seller, and Secured Party, as Buyer, Debtor granted, in favor of Secured Party, a security interest in the Servicer Account and in the monies, including Checks (as such term is defined in Section 3-104 of the UCC), from time to time on deposit in the Servicer Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			C.      Pursuant to that certain Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase And Securities Contract, dated as of January 27, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and among Sub-2, Sub- 2-A and Secured Party, the Existing Repurchase Agreement has been amended and restated.
		

		
			 
		

		
			D.      Sub-2, Secured Party and Bank entered into that certain Controlled Account Agreement (Servicer Account), dated as of August 6, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”) by and among Sub-2, Secured Party and Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			E.      Debtor, Secured Party and Bank amended and restated the Original Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Controlled Account Agreement (Servicer Account), dated as of February 28, 2011, by and among Sub-2, Sub-2-A, Secured Party and Bank (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Controlled Account Agreement”) to evidence and perfect Secured Party’s security interest in the Servicer Account and to provide for the disposition of Checks deposited into the Servicer Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			F.      Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Debtor, Secured Party and Bank desire to amend and restate the Existing Controlled Account Agreement on the terms set forth herein.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			Accordingly, Debtor, Secured Party and Bank agree as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.      (a) Bank shall establish, and thereafter maintain, the Servicer Account in the name of Debtor (with such additional descriptive detail as Debtor shall designate to Bank), subject to the first priority security interest (subject to any Permitted Liens) granted by Debtor in favor of Secured Party. Bank is hereby authorized to follow its usual operating procedures with respect to the administration of the Servicer Account and the handling of any Checks, except as such usual operating procedures are modified by this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      This Agreement evidences Secured Party’s control over the Servicer Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement between Debtor and Bank pertaining to the Servicer Account, Bank will comply with all instructions originated by Secured Party concerning the disposition of funds in the Servicer Account (including, without limitation, instructions concerning the disposition of all Checks) from time to time on deposit therein without further consent of Debtor or any other person.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      Debtor represents and warrants to Secured Party and Bank that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Servicer Account or any Check deposited in the Servicer Account, except to Secured Party.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      Bank has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the Servicer Account or the Checks credited to the Servicer Account or funds held in the Servicer Account pursuant to which it has agreed, or will agree, to comply with orders or instructions of such other person.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.      Bank shall prevent Debtor from making any withdrawals from the Servicer Account at any time, except for such withdrawals as may be specifically authorized in writing by Secured Party. All withdrawals or disbursements from the Servicer Account shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 1(b) of this Agreement and Section 3.04 of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. All Income received by Debtor, Secured Party or Bank in respect of the Purchased Assets, shall be deposited directly into the Servicer Account and shall be applied to and remitted by Bank in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Sub-Servicing Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.      Bank agrees it shall not offset, charge, deduct or otherwise withdraw funds from the Servicer Account, except as permitted by Section 4 below, until it has been advised in writing by Secured Party that all of Debtor’s obligations that are secured by the Checks and the Servicer Account are paid in full. In the event that Bank has or hereafter obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Servicer Account or the Checks credited to the Servicer Account or funds held in the Servicer Account, Bank hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of Secured Party. Secured Party shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of Debtor’s obligations.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.      Bank is permitted to charge the Servicer Account:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      for its fees and charges relating to the Servicer Account and or associated with this Agreement; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      in the event that any Check deposited into the Servicer Account is returned unpaid for any reason.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			5.      If the balance in the Servicer Account are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees or charges due Bank in connection with this Agreement or to pay Bank for any returned Check, Debtor agrees to pay Bank upon written demand therefore, the amount due to Bank. Debtor will have breached this Agreement if it has not paid Bank, within three (3) Business Days after the date of such demand, the amount due Bank. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      Bank agrees that it shall not offset against the Servicer Account until it has been advised in writing by Secured Party that all obligations that are secured by the Checks and the Servicer Account are paid in full. Secured Party shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon payment in full of such obligations and this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon receipt of such notice.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.      Resignation of Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      Bank shall have the right to resign as Bank hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Debtor and Secured Party, and in the event of such resignation, Debtor shall appoint a successor bank which must be an Eligible Institution (as defined below) and be approved by Secured Party in its sole discretion.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      In connection with any resignation by Bank, the resigning bank shall, at the sole cost of Debtor, (A) duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor bank this Agreement and all funds held by it hereunder, (B) execute such instruments as may be necessary to give effect to such succession and (C) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by Debtor or the successor bank in connection with the foregoing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      At any time Bank fails to meet the requirements of an Eligible Institution, Secured Party may require Debtor to designate a substitute for Bank. Debtor shall designate a substitute for Bank, which meets the requirements of an Eligible Institution, within thirty (30) days after Secured Party’s request, and the substitute designated by Debtor shall be subject to the approval of Secured Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Debtor fails to designate a substitute for Bank within thirty (30) days or if the substitute does not meet the requirements of an Eligible Institution in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, then Secured Party may designate a substitute for Bank, subject to the reasonable approval of Debtor, which substitute meets the requirements of an Eligible Institution and such substitute designated by Secured Party shall be deemed Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      For the purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Institution” mean shall mean a depository institution or trust company insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the short term unsecured debt obligations or commercial paper of which are rated at least “A-1+” by S&P, “P-1” by Moody’s and “F-1+” by Fitch in the case of accounts in which funds are held for thirty (30) days or less (or, in the case of accounts in which funds are held for more than thirty (30) days, the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “AA” by Fitch and S&P and “Aa2” by Moody’s). Bank has no duty to inform Secured Party or Debtor whether it is or is not an Eligible Institution.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.      (a) Bank will not be liable to Debtor or Secured Party for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to its performance under this 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			Agreement other than those Damages which result directly from its acts or omissions constituting negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to, lost profits.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of Debtor or Secured Party or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.      Debtor shall hereby indemnifies Bank against, and hold it harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages of any nature (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and any fees and expenses incurred in enforcing this Agreement) in any way arising out of or relating to disputes or legal actions concerning Bank’s performance under this Agreement or with respect to the Servicer Account or any Check. This section does not apply to any cost or damage attributable to the negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of Bank. Debtor’s obligations under this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.      Debtor and Secured Party each represent and warrant to Bank that (i) this Agreement constitutes its duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation; (ii) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not (A) constitute or result in a breach of its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or partnership agreement, as applicable, or the provisions of any material contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (B) result in the violation of any law, regulation, judgment, decree or governmental order applicable to it; and (iii) all approvals and authorizations required to permit the execution, delivery, performance and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder have been obtained.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.    Debtor agrees that:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      it cannot, and shall not, withdraw any monies from the Servicer Account until such time as Secured Party advises Bank in writing that Secured Party no longer claims any interest in the Servicer Account and the monies deposited and to be deposited in the Servicer Account; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      it shall not permit the Servicer Account to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, nature or description, other than Secured Party’s security interest referred to herein.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			11.    Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that Bank has the right to charge the Servicer Account from time to time, as set forth in this Agreement, as this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, and that Secured Party has no right to the sums so withdrawn by Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			12.    Bank will provide Secured Party and the Debtor with a duplicate of each statement prepared in respect of the Servicer Account.
		

		
			 
		

		
			13.    Debtor agrees to pay to Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (but not including the costs of any in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required hereunder, including but not limited to any such reasonable costs, expenses and fees arising out of the resolution of any conflict, dispute, motion regarding entitlement to rights or rights of action, or other action to enforce Bank’s rights in a case arising under Title 11, United States Code. Debtor agrees to pay Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (but not including the costs of any in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in the preparation and administration of this Agreement (including any amendments hereto or instruments or agreements required hereunder).
		

		
			 
		

		
			14.    Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Debtor, or in the event of the commencement of any similar case under then applicable federal or state law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors by or against Debtor, Bank may act as Bank deems reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and shall be held harmless from any claim of any of the parties for so doing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			15.    This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by Debtor, Secured Party and Bank.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts; all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.    Any written notice or other written communication to be given under this Agreement shall be addressed to each party at its address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or to such other address as a party may specify in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any such notice shall be effective upon receipt.
		

		
			 
		

		
			18.    This Agreement controls in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other document or written or oral statement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings, writings, proposals, representations and communications, oral or written, of any party relating to the subject matter hereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			19.    Neither Debtor, Secured Party nor Bank may assign any of its respective rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement in violation of this Section 19 shall be null and void.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.    Nothing contained in the Agreement shall create any agency, fiduciary, joint venture or partnership relationship between Debtor, Secured Party and Bank.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			 

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			21.        Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Repurchase Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			22.    This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection with this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than Section 5- 1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. Bank agrees that its “bank’s jurisdiction” within the meaning of Section 9-304(b)(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York shall be the Sate of New York.
		

		
			 
		

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

			RECITALS
		

		
			 
		

		
			Pursuant to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Master Repurchase and Securities Contract, dated as of September 16, 2016, between and among Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2, L.L.C. (“Seller 2”), Starwood Property Mortgage Sub-2-A, L.L.C. (“Seller 2- A”, and together with Seller 2, individually and collectively as the context may require, “Seller”) and Buyer (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”), Seller agreed to sell, from time to time, to Buyer certain Whole Loans, Senior Interests, Junior Interests, Mezzanine Loans and Mezzanine Participation Interests, each as defined in the Repurchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions as set forth therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amended and Restated Custodial Agreement by and between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Custodian”), Buyer, Starwood 2 and Starwood 2-A (the “Custodial Agreement”), Custodian is required to take possession of the Purchased Assets, along with certain other documents specified in the Custodial Agreement, as Custodian of Buyer and any future purchaser, on several delivery dates, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Custodial Agreement. The Repurchase Agreement, the Custodial Agreement, this Guarantee and any other agreements executed in connection with the Repurchase Agreement and the Custodial Agreement shall be referred to herein as the “Repurchase Documents”.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Seller may be required, from time to time, to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements (as defined therein) in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer. In order to induce the Buyer to permit Seller’s obligations to be satisfied by Guarantor, Guarantor has agreed to (a) amend and restate the First Amended and Restated Guarantee in its entirety, (b) assign and grant to Buyer a security interest in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement entered into by Guarantor or Intermediate Starwood Entities for the purpose of satisfying Seller’s requirements with respect to Interest Rate Protection Agreements under the Repurchase Agreement and (c) incur the covenants and obligations set forth herein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			It is a condition precedent to Buyer purchasing the Purchased Assets and permitting Guarantor or any of the Intermediate Starwood Entities to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee with respect to the due and punctual payment and 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


 



		

			 

		





		

		
			performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following: (a) all payment obligations owing by Seller to Buyer under or in connection with the Repurchase Agreement and any other Repurchase Documents; (b) without duplication of payment obligations under the preceding clause (a), any amount that would otherwise be payable by any Hedge Counterparty to Buyer, as assignee of the related Seller Party, in connection with the termination of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement which covers any Other Hedged Asset, but for the reduction in such termination amount payable by the related Hedge Counterparty solely as a result of netting termination payments under any swap transaction under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to such Other Hedged Asset or the exercise of any right of set-off, defense or counterclaim under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the related Hedge Counterparty, (c) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (d) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by Buyer in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of Guarantor hereunder; and (e) any other obligations of Seller with respect to Buyer under each of the Repurchase Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, to induce Buyer to enter into the Repurchase Documents and to enter into the transactions contemplated thereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees with Buyer, as follows:

			2.      Guarantee. (a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyer the prompt and complete payment and performance by Seller when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to clause (c) below, the maximum liability of Guarantor hereunder and under the Repurchase Documents shall in no event exceed the sum of (v) one hundred percent (100%) of that portion of the unpaid aggregate Repurchase Price that exceeds the Maximum Amount then in effect, (w) twenty-five percent (25%) of the then-currently unpaid aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets consisting of both Core Purchased Assets and CMBS Purchased Assets, (x) one-hundred percent (100%) of the then-currently unpaid aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets consisting of Flex Purchased Assets, (y) twenty-five percent (25%) of the then-currently unpaid aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets consisting of Core Plus Purchased Assets and (z) one-hundred percent (100%) of all amounts due and payable by Guarantor or any Intermediate Starwood Entity under any and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements with an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty to which Guarantor or any Intermediate Starwood Entity is a party.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitation on recourse liability as set forth in subsection (b) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Seller and Guarantor, jointly and severally, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-2-

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)      a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced by Seller or any Intermediate Starwood Entity under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state law;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)     an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against Seller, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or Guarantor in connection with which Seller, Guarantor, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing has or have colluded in any way with the creditors commencing or filing such proceeding; or
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)    fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Seller, Guarantor, any Intermediate Starwood Entity or any other Affiliate of Seller, Guarantor or any Intermediate Starwood Entity in connection with the execution and the delivery of this Guarantee, the Repurchase Agreement, or any of the other Repurchase Documents, or any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Buyer at the time of the closing of the Repurchase Agreement or during the term of the Repurchase Agreement.

			(e)      Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Buyer may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Repurchase Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to the Buyer in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement or any other Repurchase Documents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)      Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by Buyer in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, Guarantor under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto Seller may be free from any Obligations.
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-3-

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)      No payment or payments made by Seller or any other Person or received or collected by Buyer from Seller or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, remain liable for the amount of the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)      Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, Guarantor shall make any payment to Buyer on account of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, Guarantor will notify Buyer in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.      Subrogation. Upon making any payment hereunder, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Buyer against Seller and any collateral for any Obligations with respect to such payment; provided that Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation until all amounts due and payable by Seller to Buyer under the Repurchase Documents or any related documents have been paid in full; and further provided that such subrogation rights shall be subordinate in all respects to all amounts owing to the Buyer under the Repurchase Documents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.      Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Until the Obligations shall have been paid or performed in full, and subject to the provisions of Section 11 of this Guarantee, Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer, and any Repurchase Document and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Buyer may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Buyer shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on Seller or any other guarantor, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other guarantor or any release of Seller or such other guarantor shall not relieve Guarantor of its Obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
		

		
			 
		

		
			5.      Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Guarantee or

			acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Seller or Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller or Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Agreement, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller against Buyer, (iii) any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right to take any action against Seller or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Guarantor under this Guarantee or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Seller or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller for the Obligations or of Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that Buyer may have against Seller or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Seller or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Seller or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer or any Buyer against Guarantor. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, until all of the Obligations shall have been satisfied by payment in full, notwithstanding any sale by Buyer of any Purchased Asset as set forth in Article 10 of the Repurchase Agreement or the exercise by Buyer of any of the other rights and remedies set forth in any of the Repurchase Documents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)      Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against Buyer any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Seller, or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Seller against any other guarantor, or against any other person or security.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)     Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Seller and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make

			its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed about each of Seller’s financial condition, the status of other guarantors, if any, of circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than Buyer for such information and will not rely upon Buyer or any Buyer for any such information. Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Buyer, Guarantor hereby waives the right, if any, to require Buyer to disclose to Guarantor any information which Buyer may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances including, but not limited to, the release of or revocation by any other guarantor.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)    Guarantor has independently reviewed the Repurchase Documents and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guarantee to Buyer, Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by Seller or any other guarantor to Buyer or any Buyer, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.      Security Interest. As security for the prompt and complete performance and payment or repayment when due of the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Guarantee and the Repurchase Agreement, Guarantor hereby pledges, assigns, conveys and transfers to Buyer, and hereby grants to Buyer, a continuing security interest in, to and under all of Guarantor’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): (i) all of Guarantor’s and any Intermediate Starwood Entities’ rights (but none of their obligations) under all Interest Rate Protection Agreements relating to any of the Purchased Assets to which it now or hereafter is or may become a party (“Guarantor’s Interest Rate Protection Agreements”), (ii) the Waterfall Account and all amounts at any time credited thereto, to the extent derived from any Guarantor’s Interest Rate Protection Agreements and (iii) any and all proceeds of the foregoing, including, without limitation, all interest, and other amounts, income or distributions paid thereon or in respect thereto, including, but not limited to any termination payments (howsoever occurring) to the extent derived from any of Guarantor’s Interest Rate Protection Agreements.
		

		
			 
		

		
			7.      Other Provisions Regarding the Collateral.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      Further Assurances. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will, at its own expense, execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other paper and take any other action that may be reasonably necessary or desirable or that Buyer may reasonably require in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interests granted to Buyer hereunder, or the priority thereof, or to enable Buyer to exercise and enforce the security interests granted to Buyer under Section 6 hereof with respect to any of the Collateral and the proceeds thereof.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      Access to Information. Guarantor shall afford to Buyer reasonable access to its books and records concerning the Collateral during customary business hours (including, if agreed, by electronic access) and shall permit Buyer to make copies of any records relating thereto.

			(c)      Notice of Actions. Guarantor will give notice to Buyer of, and defend the Collateral against, any suit, action or proceeding against the Collateral or which could adversely affect the security interests granted hereunder.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      Release of Security Interest. Upon the complete and final payment and performance of the Obligations, Buyer shall release its security interest hereunder; provided, that Buyer shall release its security interest in and to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement on the Repurchase Date for the related Purchased Asset and Buyer shall authorize Custodian to release to Guarantor all documents delivered to Custodian with respect to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement and, to the extent any UCC financing statement has been filed against Guarantor with respect to such Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Buyer shall deliver an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement from Buyer’s security interest therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.      Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer may, to the extent permitted by law, exercise any of the rights and remedies of a secured party with respect to the Collateral, including any such rights and remedies under the UCC, and, in addition, Buyer may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without demand of performance and without notice to Guarantor except as provided below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof, in one lot or in separate parcels, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, at any public or private sale or other disposition, and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem appropriate, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of Guarantor, including any equity or right of redemption of Guarantor. If the purchaser fails to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, such Collateral may be again similarly sold. Buyer may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral sold subject to any rights of Guarantor under, and other requirements of, the UCC and any other applicable law. Guarantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Guarantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Buyer shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Buyer may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.      Power of Attorney. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Guarantor does hereby by way of security constitute and irrevocably appoint Buyer the true and lawful attorney of Guarantor, with full power (in the name of Guarantor or otherwise), to exercise all rights of Guarantor with respect to the Collateral held for the benefit and security of Buyer under the Guarantee and to ask, require, demand, receive, settle, compromise, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of any of the Collateral held for the benefit and security of Buyer hereunder, to endorse any instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Buyer may deem to be necessary or advisable in the premises. The power of attorney granted hereby and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect Buyer’s interest in the Collateral held for its benefit and security and shall not impose any duty upon Buyer to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled with an interest prior to the payment in full of all the Obligations secured under this Guarantee.

Guarantor shall remain liable for any such Obligations remaining unpaid from the foregoing proceeds and shall be entitled to any surplus after any application of such proceeds.

			In connection with the acknowledgement by Counterparty of the assignment and grant by Starwood of all its right, title and interest (but none of its obligations) under the Transaction, each of the Starwood and Counterparty hereby agree that the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the MRA shall constitute an Additional Termination Event for which Counterparty shall be the Affected Party and the Transaction shall be the Affected Transaction, and Wells Fargo shall have the right to either: (i) deliver notice to Starwood and Counterparty designating an Early Termination Date with respect to such Additional Termination Event, or (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement (including Section 6 of the ISDA Form), direct Counterparty to enter into a novation agreement whereby Starwood would be replaced as a party to the Transaction with a replacement counterparty.

			Section 3.01 The Servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        The Servicer, as an independent contractor, and the Sub-servicer, as an independent contractor, shall both service and administer the Loans, from and after the related Transfer Date, on behalf of and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Buyer in accordance with applicable Law, and to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the terms of the related Loan Documents, and to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the terms of the Master Contract, and to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent consistent with the foregoing, Accepted Servicing Practices.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Subject to Accepted Servicing Practices, the terms of this Agreement, of the Master Contract and of the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more sub-servicers (including the Sub-Servicer), Affiliates or vendors, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration that it may deem, in its reasonable judgment, necessary or desirable; provided, however, that if the Sub-Servicer is the Directing Party under this Agreement, the Servicer shall not exercise any right granted to Sub-Servicer hereunder except with the consent of the Sub-Servicer. The Servicer may at its own expense utilize agents or attorneys-in-fact in performing any of its servicing obligations hereunder, but no such utilization shall relieve the Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Servicer shall remain responsible to the Buyer for all acts and omissions of any such agent or attorney. Upon written request, each of the Seller and the Buyer shall furnish to the Servicer and any sub-servicer (including the

			Sub-Servicer) any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and any sub-servicer (including the Sub-Servicer) to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer or any sub-servicer (other than, in the case of the Seller only, the Sub-Servicer) pursuant to the application of such powers of attorney unless such action was taken or omitted to be taken at the express written direction of, and in the manner specified by, the Seller or the Buyer, as applicable.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        In connection with any Senior Interest Not Serviced Hereunder that is being primarily serviced and administered by a Senior Interest Servicer under an agreement other than this Agreement, the Servicer shall not have any obligations or authority to supervise any Senior Interest Servicer or to make servicing advances with respect to the B Interests if any payment is not received from the Senior Interest Servicer. The obligation of the Servicer to provide information or remit collections to the Buyer with respect to any B Interest with a related Senior Interest Not Serviced Hereunder is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Senior Interest Servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.02        Subservicing Agreements.
		

		
			 
		

		
			After any Event of Default by the Sub-Servicer, the Servicer may enter into other Subservicing Agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of all or a part of the Loans and may contract with third parties for the performance of incidental services of the Servicer hereunder; provided that the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Buyer for the servicing and administering of the Loans in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreement and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Loans, with the exception of the Sub-Servicer, for which the Servicer shall have no obligation or liability for the Sub-Servicer’ s servicing and administering of the Loans. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer (including the Sub-Servicer) on behalf of the Servicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment in respect of a Loan when the applicable or related sub-servicer receives such payment. The Servicer shall notify the Seller (if applicable) and the Buyer promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer (excluding the initial sub-servicer, the Sub-Servicer). The Servicer shall be obligated to pay all fees and expenses of any sub-servicer out of its Servicing Fee; provided,  however,  that neither the Servicer nor Buyer shall have any obligation whatsoever to pay any fees or expenses of the Sub-Servicer.

			(a)        The Sub-Servicer shall make all reasonable efforts in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices to bill and direct the Borrowers to make all payments to the Servicer called for under the terms and provisions of the applicable Loan, including, without limitation, providing reasonable advance notice to Borrowers of Balloon Payments due. With respect to each B Interest, if the Servicer does not receive from the related Senior Interest Servicer the Monthly Payment due with respect to such B Interest under the related Loan Documents on the date when such remittance is scheduled to be made, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Seller, the Buyer and the Sub-Servicer. The Sub-Servicer shall notify the

			related Senior Interest Servicer and make all reasonable efforts to get the Senior Interest Servicer to remit the Monthly Payment. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may, in its discretion, waive any late payment charge in connection with a Loan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        In the event that a payment default with respect to Loan has occurred, the Servicer shall notify the Seller, the Buyer and the Sub-Servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        The Sub-Servicer shall not receive any payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loan. The Sub-Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing of any payments from a Borrower received by the Sub-Servicer (and shall not commingle such funds with other funds of the Sub-Servicer and shall hold all such funds separately solely as the bailee for the Buyer) and shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, remit such payments to the Servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        On or before the initial Transfer Date, the Servicer shall establish, and hereby agrees to maintain for the duration of this Agreement, the Servicer Account. The Servicer Account shall relate solely to the Loans and shall not be commingled with any other moneys and shall be held on for the sole benefit of, and shall be under the sole control of, the Buyer. Following the Transfer Date, the Servicer shall thereafter give the Seller and the Buyer written notice of any change of the location or account number of the Servicer Account on or prior to the date of such change.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        Funds in the Servicer Account may be invested by, at the risk of, and for the benefit of, the Servicer in Permitted Investments. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of the Servicer or its nominee (in its capacity as such and for the benefit of the Buyer). All income therefrom shall be the property of the Servicer as additional servicing compensation and may be withdrawn therefrom from time to time. Any losses realized in connection with any such investment shall be for the account of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss in the Servicer Account immediately upon the realization of such loss.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)        The Servicer shall deposit into the Servicer Account daily, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of properly identified funds the following collections received by the Servicer after the related Transfer Date:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)        all payments on account of principal, including without limitation, Principal Prepayments on the Loans;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)       all payments on account of interest on the Loans;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)      Reserved;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)      all Condemnation Proceeds with respect to the Mortgaged Properties;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)       all Insurance Proceeds with respect to the Mortgaged Properties;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vi)      out of the Servicer’s own funds, net losses on Permitted Investments as required pursuant to Section 3.03(e);

			Section 3.04        Permitted Withdrawals from the Servicer Accounts.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        The Servicer may make withdrawals from the Servicer Account of amounts on deposit therein for (without duplication) the following purposes:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)        To recoup any amount deposited in the Servicer Account and not required to be deposited therein;

			(iii)      To pay itself from amounts on deposit in the Servicer Account representing payments by a Borrower of interest or other recoveries with respect to a Loan, to pay to itself on each Remittance Date the Servicing Fee;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)      Pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof, on each Remittance Date to make remittances to the Buyer Account for the payment of all amounts set forth in Section 5.02 and 5.03, as applicable, of the Master Contract;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)       To pay to itself investment and interest income earned on the funds deposited in the Servicer Account (net of any and all losses on the investment of such funds);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vi)      To clear and terminate the Servicer Account upon termination of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        The Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Servicer Account and determining any shortfall or overpayment of any amounts due from or on behalf of the applicable Borrower or Mortgaged Property.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Within two (2) Business Days of the Servicers or the Sub-Servicer’s written request, the Seller shall reimburse any expense not reimbursed to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as applicable, from the Servicer Account.

Such interest shall accrue at the “prime rate” from the date on which such cost or expense was made to, but excluding, the Business Day on which the Servicer is reimbursed.

			(b)        Subject to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents and to applicable Law, any funds in the Escrow Account may be invested by, at the risk of, and for the benefit of, the Servicer in Permitted Investments. If, however, pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law, any funds in the Escrow Account are required to be invested for the benefit of the related Borrower, the Servicer shall so invest such funds. Servicer shall not be responsible for any losses incurred on funds invested pursuant to the related Loan Documents for the benefit of the related Borrower. To the extent that interest earned on funds in the Escrow Account is insufficient to pay interest on such funds to the related Borrower to the extent required by applicable Law, the Servicer shall notify the Seller and the Buyer of the amount of such insufficiency and the Seller shall pay such amount from its own funds.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Withdrawals from the Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have been escrowed for such purpose and to the extent permitted by the applicable Loan Documents) only:

			Section 3.06        Insurance, Hazard, Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Sub-Servicer shall maintain, oversee and perform any and all servicing activities designated to the Servicer in Section 3.06(a) hereof with respect to the Initial Loan and any Permitted Escrow Loan.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        The Sub-Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to cause the related Borrower under a Loan to maintain all insurance required by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents in the amounts set forth therein. If the applicable Loan Documents with respect to any Loan, other than the Initial Loan and any Permitted Escrow Loan, permit the holder thereof to dictate to the related Borrower the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, taking into account the insurance in place at closing, the Servicer shall impose such requirements as it shall determine in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and shall notify the Sub-Servicer of such requirements, and the Sub-Servicer shall communicate same to the applicable Borrower; provided, to the extent permitted under the applicable Loan Documents with respect to a Loan, the Servicer shall direct the Sub-Servicer to require the related Borrower to obtain the required coverage from insurers that, at the time coverage is obtained, constitute Qualified Insurers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Servicer determines that a Mortgaged Property securing a Loan is not insured against terrorist acts and the related Loan Documents do not expressly provide that such insurance is not required, the Servicer shall notify the Seller, the Buyer and the Sub-Servicer (and if the Sub-Servicer makes such determination, the Sub-Servicer shall also notify the Servicer) and shall not be required to take any further action with respect to such matter.

			Loan, any cost incurred by the Sub-Servicer in maintaining any insurance required pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Buyer, be added to the amount owing under such Loan. If an Event of Default by the Sub-Servicer has occurred and Servicer has assumed the Sub-Servicer’s duties hereunder, the Servicer shall promptly upon receipt provide an invoice to the Seller and the Buyer and the Seller shall be responsible for making such payment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        The Servicer and Sub-Servicer shall both obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy covering the Servicer’ s and Sub-Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees and other Persons acting on behalf of the Servicer or Sub-Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The amount of coverage shall be determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. Coverage of the Servicer or Sub-Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the respective Servicer or Sub-Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.06(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.06(c).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.07        “Due-on-Sale” Clauses: Assumptions; Modifications; Consents.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        If any Borrower proposes to convey all or any portion of its interests in a Mortgaged Property, or if such a conveyance has actually occurred, the Sub-Servicer shall promptly give notice to the Directing Party, the Buyer and Servicer of such conveyance or proposed conveyance. Subject to Section 3.07(d), the Sub-Servicer shall take such actions consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, including (i) preparing any necessary application, reviewing and analyzing such conveyance or proposed conveyance and making a recommendation to the Directing Party with respect to approval, (ii) waiving or enforcing any due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause contained in the applicable Loan Documents, to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Loan Documents and applicable Law, (iii) upon consent from the Directing Party and the Buyer, and consistent with Section 3.07(d), entering into an assumption or substitution agreement and any other necessary documentation and (iv) closing the transaction. The Sub-Servicer shall forward to the Directing Party, the Buyer and the Servicer a copy (with the originals going to the Custodian) of any assumption agreement, release, amendment or other documentation prepared or processed by the Sub-Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of closing.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        If a Borrower applies for approval to place a subordinate lien on any Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, the Sub-Servicer shall promptly give notice to the Directing Party, the Buyer and Servicer. Subject to Section 3.07(d), the Sub-Servicer shall take such actions, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, including (i) obtaining from such Borrower such appraisals and other supporting documentation as are required by the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, together with such additional information as the Directing Party shall request to facilitate its review and approval of the requested encumbrance, which information is available to the Sub-Servicer without additional expense, (ii) reviewing and analyzing such request and making a recommendation to the Directing Party with respect to approval of such request, (iii) only upon Directing Party and the Buyer approval, and consistent with Section 3.07(d), preparing all necessary documentation and (iv) closing the transaction. The Sub-Servicer shall forward to the Directing Party, the Buyer and the Servicer a copy (with the originals going to the Custodian) of

			any subordinate agreement, release, amendment or other documentation prepared or processed by the Sub-Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of closing.

			Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Servicer, the Buyer may, without cause and for whatever reason, and at the Buyer’s option, terminate this Agreement (other than rights that survive termination, including causes of action for prior defaults) and any rights and obligations the Servicer may have hereunder as to the Loans. Any such notice of termination shall be in writing and delivered to the Servicer as provided in Section 8.01 hereof. After delivery of such notice to the Servicer, the Buyer shall arrange for the transfer of servicing to another party, and the Servicer shall continue servicing each of the Loans under this Agreement, for the Servicing Fee provided herein, until the Buyer gives the Servicer notice of the appointment of a successor servicer and of the transfer of such servicing in accordance with Section 7.03 hereof. In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 7.02, the Buyer shall reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer of servicing and of the Servicing Files.

The termination of the Servicer’ s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until a successor shall be appointed by the Buyer (or, as provided in Section 5.04, no longer than thirty (30) days after notice (in which case the Buyer shall succeed to and assume all of the Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement)).
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Any termination of this Agreement or resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 5.04(a), Section 6.01, Section 7.0l(a) or Section 7.02(a) hereof shall not affect any claims that the Buyer or the Servicer may have against the other, prior to any such termination or resignation.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Upon the appointment by the Buyer of a successor servicer following the Servicer’s termination or resignation (Buyer shall provide to Servicer the name, address and wiring instructions of such successor servicer), the Servicer shall promptly deliver to such successor the funds in the Servicer Account (net of all unpaid Servicing Fees and unreimbursed expenses) and the Servicing Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder

			with respect to the Loan(s) so affected and the Servicer shall account for all funds. Upon the appointment by the Buyer of a successor servicer following the termination or resignation of the Servicer, the Buyer shall reimburse the Servicer for unreimbursed amounts actually expended by the Servicer with respect to the Loan(s) so affected, and shall pay the Servicer for amounts owed to it in respect of unpaid Servicing Fees or unreimbursed expenses pursuant to this Agreement, that would otherwise have been reimbursable or payable to the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement but for the appointment of such successor servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 7.04        Successor to the Sub-Servicer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        In the event that the Sub-Servicer resigns or is terminated pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 5.04(b), Section 6.01, Section 7.01 or Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Sub-Servicer shall, at the Servicer’s option, discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such termination or resignation until the effective date of such termination (if such dates are not the same) with the same degree of diligence and prudence that it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement. The termination of the Sub-Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement pursuant to the aforementioned Sections shall not become effective until the Servicer assumes all of the Sub-Servicer duties herein, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Any termination of this Agreement or resignation or termination of the Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 5.04(b), Section 6.01, Section 7.01 or Section 7.02(b) hereof shall not affect any claims that the Buyer and/or the Servicer, on the one hand, may have against the Sub-Servicer, on the other hand, prior to any such termination or resignation.

			(a)        Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

			(b)        If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall, in good faith, negotiate an agreement the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 8.03        Counterparts.

			(a)      may conclusively rely, in the absence of bad faith on the part of Custodian, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any request, instruction, certificate, opinion or other document furnished to Custodian, reasonably believed by Custodian to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; provided,  however, that in the case of any Mortgage Asset Document or other request, instruction, document or certificate which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to Custodian, Custodian shall be under a duty to examine the same in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel; and shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it, in good faith, unless it shall be proved that the Custodian was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      shall use the same degree of care and skill as is reasonably expected of financial institutions acting in comparable capacities, provided that this subsection shall not be interpreted to impose upon Custodian a higher standard of care than that set forth herein;
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-22-

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities (except as expressly set forth herein) as to the validity, perfectibility, sufficiency, value, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Purchased Assets, and will not be required to and will not make any representations as to the validity, value, perfectibility, genuineness, ownership or transferability of the Purchased Assets;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)      shall have no responsibility or duty with respect to any Mortgage Asset File while not in its possession (other than its tracking responsibilities pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof);
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)      shall be under no obligation to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, exhibit, request, representation, opinion, certificate, statement, acknowledgement, consent, order or document in the Mortgage Asset File;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)      shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with the written direction, instruction, acknowledgement, consent or any other communication from the Buyer;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)      shall not be responsible for preparing or filing any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than for Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)      shall have no duty to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction, other than (i) any jurisdiction where any Mortgage Asset File is or may be held by Custodian from time to time hereunder, and (ii) any jurisdiction where its ownership of property or conduct of business requires such qualification and where failure to qualify could have a material adverse effect on Custodian or its property or business or on the ability of Custodian to perform it duties hereunder; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(j)      will not have any liability for failure to perform or delay in performing duties set forth herein if the failure or delay is due to an event of force majeure. A force majeure is an event or condition beyond Custodian’s control, such as, without limitation, a natural disaster, civil unrest, state of war, or act of terrorism, provided,  however, Custodian will make reasonable efforts to prevent performance delays or disruptions in the event of such occurrences.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The provisions of this Section 11.03 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Custodian and the termination or transfer of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.04 Term of Agreement. Promptly after Custodian’s receipt of written notice from Buyer of the termination of the Repurchase Agreement and payment in full of all amounts owing to Buyer thereunder, Custodian shall deliver all documents remaining in the Mortgage Asset Files to Seller, and, except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and Buyer shall simultaneously surrender all outstanding Trust Receipts held by Buyer to Custodian.

From time to time any of Seller, Buyer, Custodian or their respective successors or permitted assigns may, by delivering to the others a revised annex, change the information previously given pursuant to this Section 11.07, but each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current annex until receipt of a superseding annex.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.08 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by written agreement signed by each of Seller, Buyer and Custodian.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.09 Cumulative Rights. The rights, powers and remedies of Custodian and Buyer under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Custodian and Buyer by virtue of any statute or rule of law, the Repurchase Agreement or any other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.10 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors. This Agreement may not be assigned in whole or in part by Seller or Custodian without the prior written consent of Buyer. This Agreement may be assigned by Buyer in whole or in part without the prior written consent of any other party hereto. Buyer shall provide Custodian with notice of any such assignment together with written acknowledgment that the assignee is assuming all of the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement to the extent applicable. All rights of Custodian, Buyer and Seller under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Custodian, Buyer and Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and all obligations of Custodian, Buyer and Seller under this Agreement shall bind their respective successors and assigns. Any entity into which Custodian may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity

			resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Custodian shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business of Custodian shall be the successor of Custodian hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.11 Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement with respect to the rights and obligations of Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets among Custodian, Buyer and Seller. If any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement shall be construed as if not containing such provisions, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.12 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.13 Tax Reports. Custodian shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any reports or returns relating to federal, state or local income taxes with respect to this Agreement, other than in respect of Custodian’s compensation or for reimbursement of expenses.

Buyer hereby notifies Custodian that Buyer may, subject to the terms and provisions of the Repurchase Agreement, assign, as of the applicable Purchase Date, some or all of its right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets to an Eligible Assignee, provided, that 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.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.15 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS. EACH OF SELLER, BUYER AND CUSTODIAN HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)      SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER REPURCHASE DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)      CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-25-

		





 



		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)      AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH EACH OTHER PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)      AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)      WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER REPURCHASE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.16 Confidentiality. Custodian hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) all written or computer-readable information provided by Buyer or Seller regarding Buyer or Seller and (ii) the terms of this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement (the “Confidential Information”), shall be kept confidential and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the parties hereto without Buyer’s and Seller’s prior written consent except to the extent that (i) Custodian reasonably deems necessary to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies or regulatory bodies or in order to comply with any applicable federal or state laws, (ii) any portion of the Confidential Information is in the public domain other than due to a breach of this covenant or (iii) to the extent that Custodian is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the requirements of any legal proceeding or legal authority, Custodian shall (unless prohibited by such legal proceeding or legal authority) notify Buyer and Seller within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such legally required disclosure so that Buyer or Seller may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive Custodian’s compliance with this Agreement. Notice shall be both by telephone and in writing. In the absence of a protective order or waiver, Custodian may disclose the relevant Confidential Information if, in the opinion of its counsel, failure to disclose such Confidential Information would subject Custodian to liability for contempt, censure or other legal penalty or liability.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.17 Effect of Amendment and Restatement. From and after the date hereof, the Original Custodial Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Custodial Agreement.
