			This Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2014 (“Agreement”), is entered into between The Bancorp Bank, a Delaware banking corporation (together with its successors-in-interest, the “Seller”), and Walnut Street 2014-1 Issuer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”).
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Seller is a minority equity member of the Issuer; 
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Seller intends to sell, and the Issuer intends to purchase and acquire those certain assets described on the Schedule attached, hereto as Exhibit A (the “Assets”); and
		

		
			WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as note administrator (together with its successors and assigns, the “Note Administrator”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as indenture trustee (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indenture Trustee”), the Issuer will issue the Notes secured by all of the assets of the Issuer;
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
		

		
			Defined terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Indenture.
		

		
			SECTION 1.Agreement to Sell the Assets.
		

		
			(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller hereby sells, contributes, transfers, conveys, assigns and sets over to the Issuer, without recourse (except as provided in this Agreement), all of its right, title and interest in the Assets, including all of its right, title and interest in and to (i) to the extent specified in Section 3, all amounts received with respect to the Assets on or after the Cut-Off Date, (ii) all books, records, files, instruments and other documents concerning the foregoing assets and property (including, without limitation, all Asset Files) and (iii) all present and future claims, demands, causes of action regarding any of the foregoing and all payments on any of the foregoing and all proceeds of any nature whatsoever regarding any of the foregoing, including all proceeds of the conversion thereof (voluntarily or involuntarily) into cash or other liquid property of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”) in exchange for (i) a cash payment of $16,036,852 (the “Seller Cash Payment”), (ii) 100% of the Class A Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture, and (iii) 49% of the Class B Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Issuer hereby accepts the conveyance of the Transferred Assets by the Seller pursuant to this paragraph.
		

		
			(b)The Issuer shall pay the Seller Cash Payment to the Seller or its designee on the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller.  
		

		
			(c)The Issuer hereby assumes all obligations of the Seller as owner of the Transferred Assets that arose or may arise on or after the Cut-Off Date.  
		

		
			SECTION 2.Sale of Transferred Assets.  It is not the intention of the Seller or the Issuer that any conveyance contemplated by this Agreement be deemed a pledge of any Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Issuer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent or agreement of the parties hereto, any or all of the Transferred Assets are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to continue to be property of the Seller, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the UCC; (ii) the transfer of the Transferred Assets provided for herein shall be deemed to be a Grant by the Seller to the Issuer of a lien upon and security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets and all amounts payable on such Transferred Assets in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, 
		

		 

 

		securities or other property; (iii) the possession by the Issuer of the Transferred Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, general intangibles, accounts or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the lien or security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 of the UCC; and (iv) notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Issuer for the purpose of perfecting such lien or security interest under applicable law.  Any assignment of the interest of the Issuer pursuant to any provision hereof shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any lien or security interest created hereby or thereby.  The Seller and the Issuer shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a lien upon or security interest in the Transferred Assets, such lien or security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery by the Seller to the Issuer of all deeds of trust, mortgages, chattel mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements and other documents the Issuer reasonably requests, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuer.  If any such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, the Seller consents to the Issuer hypothecating and transferring such security interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee and transferring the obligation secured thereby to the Indenture Trustee.
		

		
			SECTION 3.Delivery of Assets.  The Issuer hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, at its expense, to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) all of the documents constituting the Asset Files relating to the Transferred Assets that are required to be delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Indenture as follows: (i) on or prior to the Closing Date, the documents and instruments required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Indenture on or before the Closing Date and (ii) on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date, the balance of the Asset File.  The Issuer hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, at its expense, to deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Asset Manager or a designee of the Asset Manager any escrow amounts and reserve amounts related to the Loans.  The Issuer and the Seller hereby further agree that the Seller shall remit all collections on the Assets received by or no behalf of the Seller on or after the Cut-off Date but prior to the Closing Date to the Asset Manager for deposit in accordance with the Asset Management Agreement prior to the Remittance Date related to the first Payment Date.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall retain a third party vendor to complete the assignment and recordation or filing of applicable assignment documents and financing statements relating to the Assets in favor of the Issuer and from the Issuer in blank or to the Residential Loan Trustee, as applicable, all as further set forth in, and in accordance with the delivery requirements of, Section 3.2 of the Indenture.
		

		
			SECTION 4.Books and Records; Certain Funds Received After the Cut-Off Date.
		

		
			(a)All payments or other collections on the Assets to which the Issuer is entitled but is received by the Seller on or after the Cut-Off Date pursuant to this Agreement shall be remitted to the Asset Manager for deposit in the Asset Manager Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.  
		

		
			(b)The Seller agrees that its transfer of the Transferred Assets shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheet and other financial statements as a sale of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Issuer, and not as a financing by the Seller.  The Issuer agrees that the transfer of the Transferred Assets shall be reflected on the Issuer’s balance sheet and other financial statements as the purchase and/or acquisition of the Transferred Assets by the Issuer from the Seller, and not as a loan to the Seller.  The Seller and the Issuer agree that the transfer of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Issuer is intended to be a taxable sale or exchange described in Section 1001(a) of the Code, and the Seller and Issuer shall not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes.

			SECTION 8.Notice of Breach; Cure and Repurchase.
		

		
			(a)As to any Asset with respect to which any Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Seller will, within 60 days of its receipt of notice from the Directing Holder or other Person of such breach or receipt of the Asset File Schedule and Exception Report, either (x) cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect (which cure period shall be extended for an additional 30 days upon receipt by the Asset Manager of an officer’s certificate certifying that such breach is capable of being cured and ongoing diligent attempts to cure such breach have occurred) (and, in the event of such cure, the Issuer will provide the Indenture Trustee, the Directing Holder, the Note Administrator and the Asset

			For purposes of this Exhibit B, the phrase “the Seller’s knowledge” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean the actual state of knowledge of the Seller, its officers and employees responsible for the origination or acquisition, as applicable, of the Assets by the Seller or its affiliates or the transfer of the Assets hereunder regarding the matters expressly set forth below, in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters, and without any obligation to have done so, except as expressly set forth below.  All information contained in documents (to the extent such documents exist) which are part of or required to be part of an Asset File, as specified in the Indenture, shall be deemed to be within the Seller’s knowledge. 
		

		
			The Seller hereby represents and warrants with respect to the Assets that, as of the date herein below specified or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing Date, except with respect to the exceptions set forth on Schedule I to this Exhibit B:  
		

		
			1.Asset Schedule.  The information set forth in the Asset Schedule attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Asset Schedule”) with respect to each Asset is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date.
		

		
			2.Delivery of Asset File.  The contents of the Asset File for each Asset have been or will be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (or its custodian) in the time periods required in Section 3 of this Agreement.
		

		
			3.Ownership of Asset.  Immediately prior to the transfer of each Asset to the Issuer, Seller was the sole owner of and had good and marketable title to the Assets, free and clear of any and all rights (including participation rights of any other lender), claims, liens and other interests of any person, except, if applicable, with respect to the related Property, (i) the lien of the current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and other assessments, (ii) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other similar matters of public record of a type acceptable to lending institutions generally or referred to in the title insurance policy or title opinion issued in connection with the loan made with respect to the Property, (iii) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) which are not required to be subordinated to the lien of the related security instrument, (iv) if the related Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Loan, the lien of the security instrument for such other Loan, (v) zoning and other land use restrictions and ordinances, (iv) the related Mortgage, a prior mortgage or other related security instrument, and (v) any state of facts an accurate survey might show (collectively, “Permitted Encumbrances”).
		

		
			4.No Holdback.  Except as described on the Asset Schedule attached to this Agreement, the proceeds of each Loan have been fully disbursed (unless, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Property), and there is no obligation for future advances with respect thereto.
		

		
			5.Environmental Conditions.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, to the Seller’s knowledge, there are currently no significant or material circumstances or conditions with respect to any related Property that render such Property in material violation of any applicable environmental laws.
		

		
			6.Legal Proceedings.  Except as described on Schedule 1 to this Exhibit B, to the Seller’s knowledge, there are no pending actions, suits, governmental investigations or proceedings by or before any court or governmental authority against or affecting any Obligor or any related Property that, if determined adversely to such Obligor or Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Asset Documents or the current principal use of the Property.
		

		
			7.Loan Servicing.  From and after the Seller’s origination or acquisition, as applicable, of the beneficial interests in each Asset, the servicing practices used with respect to such Asset have been in accordance with 
		

		 

 

		(x) the Seller’s customary servicing practices and asset management policies and procedures, (y) in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and consent orders to which it is subject, and (z) in compliance with the terms of the related Asset Documents.
		

		
			8.Escrows.  Monies in all escrow and reserve accounts with respect to each Asset in the possession of the Seller or its servicer have or will be transferred to the Asset Manager.
		

		
			9.Bankruptcy.  To the Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-Off Date, no mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.
		

		
			10.Enforceability.  With respect to each Loan, the related Asset Documents are evidence of the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related borrower, guarantor or other obligor party thereto (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation) enforceable against such borrower, guarantor or other obligor  in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Asset Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law (subject to the limitations set forth above) (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency Qualifications”).
		

		
			11.Title Insurance.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy (or, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) or an attorney's opinion of title or such other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance.  The assignment to Purchaser of Seller's interest in each such lender’s title insurance policy does not require the consent of or notification to any insurer; and each such lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
		

		
			12.No Damage.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property is free from damage that would materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended.
		

		
			13.Taxes and Assessments.  As of the Cut-Off Date, to the Seller’s knowledge, all properly assessed property taxes, insurance premiums and governmental assessments that previously became due have been paid, provided that, if any such properly assessed property taxes, insurance premiums and governmental assessments that previously became due have not been paid as of the Cut-off Date, the Seller shall, at its option, either make a payment to the Issuer in the amount of such deficiency or repurchase the related Asset in accordance with Section 8.
		

		
			14.Whole Loan.  Each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a whole loan.
		

		
			15.Asset Document Status; Waivers and Modifications.  With respect to each Loan, since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Asset File (a) the material terms of the operative Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security to be provided by the related security instrument; (b) no related Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related borrower in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such security instrument or the current use of such Property; and (c) the related borrower has not been released from its material obligations under the Loan.
		

		
			16.Junior Financing.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has no knowledge of any subordinate or mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property to which the lender has not consented.
		

		 

 

		
			17.Origination.  Each Loan was originated in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, except where failure to comply would not have a material adverse impact on the Loan.
		

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

		
			19.Condemnation.  With respect to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-Off Date, there is no proceeding pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing for all or a material portion of the related Mortgaged Property. 
		

		
			20.No High Cost Mortgage Loans.  Unless otherwise disclosed by Seller to Issuer, none of the Mortgage Loans are High Cost Mortgage Loans.  For purposes of this paragraph, “High Cost Mortgage Loan” means a Mortgage Loan classified as (a) a “high cost” loan under the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, (b) a “high cost,” “threshold,” “covered,” or “predatory” loan under any other applicable state, federal or local law (or a similarly classified loan using different terminology under a law, regulation or ordinance imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny or additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest rates, points and/or fees) or (c) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E.
