 23 













 
“Transaction Conditions Precedent” specified in Section 3(b) of this Agreement), pursuant to written request in the form of Exhibit A (or such other
form as the Parties may agree) at the initiation of Seller (each, a “Transaction Request”), Buyer may agree to enter into Transactions. Buyer shall have the right to review all Eligible Assets proposed to be sold to Buyer in any
Transaction and to conduct its own due diligence investigation of such Eligible Assets as Buyer determines in its sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether or not it is willing to purchase any
proposed Eligible Asset, and if so, on what terms and conditions (including, without limitation, whether to accept a proposed Eligible Asset as a Future Funding Asset). It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that Buyer is entering into the
Transactions on the basis of Representations and Warranties made by Seller and on the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the applicable Underwriting / Due Diligence Package and any supplemental information furnished by Seller
to Buyer pursuant to any Supplemental Due Diligence List and any incompleteness or inaccuracies in the related Underwriting / Due Diligence Package and any supplemental information furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any Supplemental Due

respect to a particular Transaction, the Confirmation shall prevail. The fact that Buyer has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination or any other due diligence review of any Purchased Asset shall in no way affect any
rights Buyer may have under the Program Documents or otherwise with respect to any Representations or Warranties or other rights or remedies thereunder or otherwise, including the right to determine at any time that such Purchased Asset is not an
Eligible Asset. 
 No Transaction shall be entered into if (i) any Default or Event of Default exists or would exist as a result of such Transaction,
(ii) after giving effect to such Transaction, the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions then outstanding would exceed the Facility Amount or (iii) any Transaction Conditions Precedent have not been
satisfied or waived by Buyer. 

  
 24 













 With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate
Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on such Pricing Rate Determination Date. 

For purposes of this Section 3(b), the “Transaction Conditions Precedent” shall be deemed to have been satisfied with
respect to any proposed Transaction if: 
 (A) Buyer has received all documents, certificates, information, financial
statements, reports and approvals as Buyer may reasonably require, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property dated no earlier than three (3) months prior to the origination date; 

(B) no Default or Event of Default in each case under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Purchase
Date for such proposed Transaction; 
 (C) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer all information which Seller believes to be
reasonably necessary for Buyer to make an informed business decision with respect to the purchase of such Eligible Asset and Seller shall have certified to Buyer (which can be made via a representation in the Confirmation) that Seller has no
Knowledge of any material information concerning such Eligible Asset which is not reflected in the related Diligence Material or otherwise disclosed to Buyer in writing; 

(D) the Representations and Warranties made by each of Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor in the Program Documents to which it is a
party, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction (except to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a particular date and as modified by any Approved Exception Report); 

(E) with respect to each Eligible Asset proposed to be sold to Buyer in such Transaction, Buyer shall have received: (1) a
Transaction Request, (2) a copy of the completed and signed Redirection Letter, the original of which shall be delivered to Custodian, (3) a Trust Receipt (or a Bailee Trust Receipt, if applicable) and all other items required to be
delivered to Buyer under the Custodial Agreement or Bailee Letter (as applicable), (4) a Confirmation, (5) the Underwriting / Due Diligence Package (including any supplemental information furnished by Seller to Buyer pursuant to any
Supplemental Due Diligence List), (6) an Originator Pledge Agreement and (7) an officer’s certificate of Seller certifying that the facts and assumptions in the opinion of outside counsel to Seller regarding true sale matters dated as of
the Closing Date are true and accurate in all respects; 

  
 25 













 (F) Servicer has received copies of the Purchased Asset Documents and any
other documents required to be delivered under the Servicing Agreement; 
 (G) no Market Material Adverse Change shall have
occurred and be continuing as of the related Purchase Date; 
 (H) Seller has paid all fees and expenses then due and payable
to Buyer under the Program Documents; 
 (I) Seller shall have provided for all Underlying Purchased Asset Reserves to be
held by Servicer and shall have satisfactorily pledged all Underlying Purchased Asset Reserves relating to such Eligible Asset to Buyer, as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion; 

(J) Buyer shall have satisfactorily completed its “Know Your Customer” and OFAC diligence (as to the related
Mortgagor, guarantor and all other related parties, as determined by Buyer); 
 (K) Buyer shall have (1) determined, in
its sole and absolute discretion, that the assets proposed to be sold to Buyer by Seller in such Transaction are Eligible Assets (or agreed in writing to waive any particular eligibility requirements) and (2) obtained satisfactory results of
its underwriting review of such Eligible Asset and the related Mortgaged Property (or Mortgaged Properties) performed by Buyer and any third party reviewers engaged by Buyer for such review; 

(L) Buyer shall have received from Seller any portion of the Funding Fee that is due and payable on the Purchase Date for such
proposed Transaction; 
 (M) after giving effect to such proposed Transaction, the aggregate Purchase Price would not exceed
the Facility Amount; and 
 (N) if any of the foregoing Transaction Conditions Precedent has not been satisfied, Buyer has
waived such Transaction Condition Precedent in its sole discretion. 
 (c) (i) On the Repurchase Date with respect to a Transaction,
termination of such Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Assets relating to such Transaction and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied
to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement) against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Transaction to an account of Buyer (including by receipt into the Repo
Collection Account). In connection with any such termination of a Transaction pursuant to the preceding sentence, upon its receipt of the Repurchase Price (including by receipt of the Repurchase Price into the Repo Collection Account), Buyer
(A) shall deliver a Buyer’s Release to Seller (or Seller’s designee) releasing, its right, title and interest in such Purchased Asset and the related Collateral, (B) shall authorize Custodian to release to Seller the Purchased
Asset Documents for such Purchased Asset and (C) to the extent any UCC financing statement filed against Seller specifically 

  
 26 













 
identifies such Purchased Asset by name, Seller may file an amendment thereto or termination thereof evidencing the release of such Purchased Asset from Buyer’s security interest therein.
Any such transfer or release shall be without recourse to Buyer and without representation or warranty by Buyer. Any Income with respect to such Purchased Asset received by Buyer after payment in full of the Repurchase Price therefor and any other
amounts due hereunder with respect to such Purchased Asset, and the release of such Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be promptly transferred to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before the Facility
Termination Date, Seller shall repurchase all Purchased Assets by paying to Buyer the outstanding Repurchase Price therefor and all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations. At any time during the existence of an uncured Default or Event of Default,
Seller cannot repurchase a Purchased Asset in connection with a full payoff of the underlying Whole Loan by the related Mortgagor, unless one-hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds due in connection with
the relevant payoff shall be paid directly to the Repo Collection Account. Subject to the proviso in this sentence, the Repurchase Price of the related Purchased Asset shall be applied by Buyer to reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer
under this Agreement; provided, that so long as any Default is continuing, such portion of such net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price shall remain in the Repo Collection Account until the earlier of (x) such Default being
cured, in which case such portion of net proceeds in excess of the then-current Repurchase Price shall be returned to Seller and (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default in which case such portion of net proceeds shall be applied by Buyer to
reduce any other amounts due and payable to Buyer under this Agreement. In addition to the other rights and remedies of Buyer under this Agreement and the other Program Documents, Seller shall within five (5) Business Days of written notice
from Buyer (an “Eligibility Repurchase Demand”) repurchase any Purchased Asset that no longer qualifies as an Eligible Asset as determined in Buyer’s sole discretion by paying to Buyer the Repurchase Price for the affected
Purchased Asset in immediately available funds. 
  

	 	(ii)	 Except as expressly provided herein, including, without limitation, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default by Seller, no Transaction shall be terminable on demand by Buyer. Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand, in whole or in part, and repurchase any or all Purchased Assets subject to such
Transaction (each, an “Early Repurchase”) on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (each, an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that: 



 

	 	(A)	 Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased
Assets no later than two (2) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date (except if such Early Repurchase Date is in connection with curing a Purchase Price Margin Deficit, Default or breach of any representation or warranty in the
Program Documents, or in connection with any of the events in Sections 3(f), 3(g), 3(i) or 3(i) having occurred, in which case Seller may repurchase any such Purchased Asset upon written notice delivered to Buyer on the
same Business Day); and 



  
 27 














	 	(B)	 on such Early Repurchase Date Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Price for such
Transaction(s), and any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3(h) of this Agreement) with respect to such Transaction(s) against transfer to Seller or its agent of such
Purchased Assets, all in accordance with Section 3(c)(i). 


  

	 	(iii)	 Buyer, in its sole and reasonable discretion, may extend the Repurchase Date with respect to any Purchased
Asset one or more times in accordance with terms of the related Confirmation; provided, that all of the Repurchase Date Extension Conditions (as hereinafter defined) shall have been satisfied. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
“Repurchase Date Extension Conditions” shall be deemed to have been satisfied if: 


  

	 	(A)	 Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than thirty (30) days and no more than one hundred
twenty (120) days, prior to the Repurchase Date, of Seller’s desire to extend such Repurchase Date; 


  

	 	(B)	 no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the scheduled
Repurchase Date; 


  

	 	(C)	 the representations and warranties made by Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor in the Program Documents, as modified
by any Approved Exception Report, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the scheduled Repurchase Date; 


  

	 	(D)	 Buyer shall have notified Seller in writing within thirty (30) days following Seller’s delivery of a
written notice pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) that the Repurchase Date has been extended for an additional one (1) year period; provided, that if Buyer does not respond to Seller’s request to extend the
Repurchase Date within such thirty (30) day period, then such Repurchase Date shall not be extended; 


  

	 	(E)	 an amended and restated Confirmation reflecting such extension and that is otherwise acceptable to Buyer and
Seller has been delivered by Seller and executed by Seller and Buyer; 


  

	 	(F)	 Seller is in compliance with the Repurchase Date Extension Opinion Requirement as of the then current
Repurchase Date; and 


  

	 	(G)	 Seller has paid to Buyer the Extension Fee and any breakage costs. 



(d) This Agreement shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date. 

  
 28 













 (e) In addition, Seller may terminate this Agreement and the other Program Documents on any
date prior to the Facility Termination Date (the “Early Facility Termination Date”), provided that: 
  

	 	(i)	 Seller notifies Buyer in writing at least thirty (30) days before the proposed Early Facility Termination
Date of its intent to terminate this Agreement and the other Program Documents; 


  

	 	(ii)	 subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3(c)(i), Seller repurchases all of the
Purchased Assets then held by Buyer on the Early Facility Termination Date; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 Seller pays the Repurchase Price for each Purchased Asset and all other Repurchase Obligations then due and
payable pursuant to the Program Documents on the Early Facility Termination Date. 


 (f) If prior to the first day of any
Pricing Rate Period with respect to the Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have determined in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for such Pricing Rate Period (provided Buyer has performed (to the extent possible) the procedures for determining LIBOR as set forth in the definition of LIBOR in
Section 2 of this Agreement), or (ii) the LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as reasonably determined and certified by Buyer) of
making or maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances. If such notice is given,
the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the sum of (a) the Alternate Base Rate
described in the related Confirmation which shall equal the “Alternate Base Rate” or such similar term for the base rate charged in the event LIBOR is unavailable as described in the related Purchased Asset Documents, plus
(b) the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”). Buyer’s right to convert a Transaction to the Alternative Rate Transaction pursuant to the foregoing shall be applied in the same manner Buyer is treating its similarly
situated repurchase facility customers where Buyer has a comparable contractual right. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if
after the date of this Agreement the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Program Documents,
(i) the ability of Buyer to enter into new Transactions hereunder and the commitment of Buyer hereunder to continue Transactions shall be canceled, and (ii) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative
Rate Transactions on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate
Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(h) of this Agreement. Buyer’s exercise of its rights under this
Section 3(g) shall be applied in the same manner Buyer is treating its similarly situated repurchase facility customers where Buyer has a comparable contractual right. 

  
 29 













 (h) Upon demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any net
actual, out of pocket loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which Buyer sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) a default by
Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(c)(ii) of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to a Purchased Asset on
any day other than a Remittance Date or the Repurchase Date (or the Early Repurchase Date or the Early Facility Termination Date, as applicable) with respect to such Purchased Asset (including, without limitation, any such actual, out of pocket loss
or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from customary and reasonable fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained), (iii) conversion of any Transaction
to an Alternative Rate Transaction pursuant to Section 3(g) of this Agreement on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or (iv) any conversion of the Pricing Rate to the Alternative
Rate because Adjusted LIBOR is not available for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period. A certificate promptly delivered by Buyer as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the
calculations therefor shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein in the absence of manifest error. This Section 3(h) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses,
claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (i) If after the date of this Agreement the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof: 
  

	 	(i)	 shall subject Buyer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to the Program Documents, any Purchased Asset or any Transaction; 



 

	 	(ii)	 shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the
LIBOR hereunder; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 shall impose on Buyer any other condition; 



and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be material,
of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Program Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after written


  
 30 













 
notice from Buyer, pay Buyer any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (in the case of taxes, in an amount such that, after
deduction of the applicable tax, Buyer receives the amount to which it would have been entitled if no tax were deductible). If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(i), it shall
notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. Such notification shall set forth in reasonable detail (and certify to) a certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 3(i), which shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all
Purchased Assets. Buyer’s exercise of its rights under this Section 3(i) shall be applied in the same manner Buyer is treating its similarly situated repurchase facility customers where Buyer has a comparable contractual right. 

(j) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change after the date of this Agreement in any Requirement of Law regarding
capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any entity controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Buyer in respect of any Transaction hereunder or reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such entity’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such entity’s policies with respect to capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Buyer, pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such
reduction. In determining any additional amounts due under this Section 3(j), Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner it treats other similarly situated repurchase facility customers where Buyer has a comparable
contractual right. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(j) shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts in the absence of manifest error. This covenant
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Asset. 
 (k) At any time prior
to the Repurchase Date, in the event a Future Funding is made or is to be made by Seller pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents for a Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a request that Buyer transfer cash to Seller in an amount not to
exceed an amount equal to the Maximum Purchase Price minus the Purchase Price then outstanding (a “Future Funding Advance”), which Future Funding Advance shall increase the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset; provided
that in no event shall Seller submit more than one (1) request for a Future Funding Advance for each Future Funding Asset in any given calendar month and, provided, further that no Future Funding Advance(s) shall be made unless the
Future Funding Advance to be made on such date shall exceed $350,000 per Purchased Asset or $500,000 in the aggregate. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to make any Future Funding Advance that (i) as of the funding of such
Future Funding Advance, no Purchase Price Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Future Funding Advance, (ii) the funding of the Future Funding Advance would not cause
the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions to exceed the Facility Amount, (iii) Seller shall certify to Buyer that all conditions to the Future 

  
 31 













 
Funding under the relevant Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied in all material respects (which can be made via a representation in the amended and restated Confirmation) and
(iv) Buyer shall be satisfied in its commercially reasonable discretion that all conditions to the Future Funding under the relevant Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied. Buyer shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this
Section 3(k) (and in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller and subject to the provisions of Section 7(a)) on the date requested by Seller, which date shall be no earlier than two
(2) Business Days following Seller’s written request. In connection with any funding of a Future Funding Advance pursuant to this Section 3(k), Buyer and Seller shall amend and restate the existing Confirmation
for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset and any other necessary modifications to the terms set forth on the existing Confirmation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not
be obligated to make any Future Funding Advance unless Seller has previously or simultaneously with Buyer’s funding of a Future Funding Advance funded or caused to be funded the Future Funding to the Mortgagor (or to an escrow agent or as
otherwise directed by the underlying Mortgagor) in respect of such Purchased Asset. 
 4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE 

(a) If, on any Business Day, the Maximum Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset is less than the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased
Asset (a “Purchase Price Margin Deficit”), then Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days after notice from Buyer of such Purchase Price Margin Deficit (a “Purchase Price Margin Call”), (A) provide Buyer with
cash in an amount sufficient to cure such Purchase Price Margin Deficit or (B) repurchase the affected Purchased Asset at the applicable Repurchase Price and pay any applicable breakage costs to Buyer. 

(b) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this Section 4, shall not
change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date. Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under this
Section 4 shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller. In the event that a Purchase Price Margin Deficit exists, Buyer may
retain any funds received by it to which Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds shall be applied by Buyer against the Purchase Price of any Purchased Asset(s) for which the Purchase Price Margin Deficit remains otherwise
unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains the right, in its sole discretion, to make a Purchase Price Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4. 

(c) If, at any time, either (x) (A) Seller transfers cash to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) to satisfy a
Purchase Price Margin Deficit and (B) on any date subsequent to such transfer of cash and prior to the Repurchase Date for the applicable Purchased Asset, the Market Value of such Purchased Asset increases such that the then-current Purchase
Price with respect to such Purchased Asset is less than the Maximum Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, or (y) the then-current Purchase Price with respect to such Purchased Asset is less than the Maximum Purchase Price for such Purchased
Asset due to either Seller requesting in the Transaction Request and Buyer funding on the related Purchase Date less than the Maximum Purchase Price 

  
 32 













 
or Seller reducing the outstanding Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3(d), then Seller may, on any Business Day, submit to Buyer a written request that Buyer transfer
cash to Seller in an amount requested by Seller but not to exceed the Margin Availability for such Purchased Asset on such Business Day (a “Margin Availability Advance”), which Margin Availability Advance shall increase the Purchase
Price for such Purchased Asset; provided, that Buyer shall have the ability to adjust the Applicable Spread with respect to the portion of the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset that is equal to the amount of the related Margin
Availability Advance. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to make any Margin Availability Advance that, as of the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, no Purchase Price Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Margin Availability Advance, and the funding of such Margin Availability Advance would not cause the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions then outstanding
to exceed the Facility Amount. Buyer shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Section 4(c) (and in accordance with the wire instructions provided in Seller’s written request for a Margin Availability Advance, which instructions
are subject to the applicable provisions of Section 7(a)) on the date that is two (2) Business Days following Seller’s written request. In connection with any funding of a Margin Availability Advance pursuant to this

	 	(v)	 fifth, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any unpaid fees, expenses, indemnity amounts or other

 6. SECURITY INTEREST 

(a) Other than for U.S. tax purposes, Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and not
loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a first priority lien on, and
security interest in, all of its right, title, and interest in the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all amounts or
obligations owing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Program Documents: 
  

	 	(i)	 the Purchased Assets, Servicing Agreements, Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, all insurance relating to the
Purchased Assets, Underlying Purchased Asset Reserves, any interest rate protection agreements entered into by a Mortgagor in connection with any Purchased Asset and collection and escrow accounts relating to the Purchased Assets;

	 	(ii)	 all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, Income (other than Servicer Income)
and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the foregoing; 



(b) For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”). Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of
the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest
granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the
perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby. Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments and
continuations thereto that (1) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Seller 

  
 35 













 
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral
falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC in such jurisdiction or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (2) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or
filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Seller is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Seller. 

(c) Buyer’s security interest in a Purchased Asset, or the Collateral as a whole, shall terminate only upon (i) in the case of an
individual Purchased Asset, the repurchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Collateral as a whole, the repayment in full of all Repurchase Obligations (other than any obligations that expressly
survive termination of this Agreement and that are not then due and payable) and the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Documents. Upon any such termination, Buyer shall release its security interest in the Collateral, deliver to
Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and return the Purchased Assets and all Purchased Asset Documents (or approve the return by the Custodian, as applicable) to Seller or Seller’s
designee. 
 (d) Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transactions and the
Program Documents and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Repo Collection Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein and all
replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to the Repo Collection Account. 

(e) Buyer and Seller agree that the grant of a security interest under this Section 6 shall not constitute or result
in the creation or assumption by Buyer of any Retained Obligations relating to any Purchased Asset and Seller shall remain liable for such Retained Obligations in accordance with the applicable Purchased Asset Documents until such time as Buyer
exercises its remedies pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii)(B) hereof. Upon Buyer’s exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 14(b)(iii)(B) of this Agreement during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Buyer will simultaneously assume the Retained Obligations without further act or deed.

or by which any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, Seller shall be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations and warranties made by it. 

(b) In addition to the representations and warranties in subsection (a) above, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of
the Closing Date, as of each Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and as of each date any Transaction is outstanding hereunder: 
  

	 	(i)	 Organization. Seller is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and
regulations of the state of Seller’s formation and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Seller’s business, except where the failure to be
so licensed and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Seller has the power to own and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, and to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed
to be conducted, and has the power to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Program Documents. 


  

	 	(ii)	 Due Execution; Enforceability. The Program Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Seller,
for good and valuable consideration. The Program Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations
on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. 


  

	 	(iii)	 Non-Contravention; Consents. None of the execution and delivery
of the Program Documents, the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Program Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Program Documents (or any of them) will
conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the organizational documents of Seller, (B) any material contractual obligation to which Seller is now a party or the rights under which have been
assigned to Seller or the obligations under which have been assumed by Seller or to which the assets of Seller are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien




  
 41 














	 	
upon any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant to the Program Documents, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Seller, or
(D) any applicable Requirement of Law, in the case of Section 10(b)(iii)(B)-(D) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Seller has all
necessary licenses, permits and other consents from Governmental Authorities necessary to acquire, own and sell the Purchased Assets and for the performance of its obligations under the Program Documents. 


 

	 	(iv)	 Litigation; Requirements of Law. Except as otherwise disclosed by Seller to Buyer in writing from time
to time, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller, Guarantor, Pledgor or any of their respective assets which if adversely determined would reasonably be
expected to result in any Material Adverse Change. Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law. None of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor is in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ,
injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to any of the Program Documents. 



 

	 	(vi)	 Good Title to Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Asset by Buyer from
Seller, Seller owned such Purchased Asset free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), and
Seller is the record and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Asset to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, Buyer shall be the owner of such Purchased Asset
free of any adverse claim, subject to the rights of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If contrary to the intention of the parties hereto, any Transaction is characterized as a secured financing of the related Purchased Assets, the
provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Buyer a valid security interest in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral related to such Purchased Assets to the extent such security interest can be
perfected by filing or by delivery to and possession by Custodian, and Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in such Purchased Assets. 



 

	 	(vii)	 No Default. No Event of Default or, to Seller’s Knowledge, Default (unless disclosed to Buyer in
writing) has occurred and is continuing under or with respect to the Program Documents. 



  
 42 














	 	(viii)	 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Purchased Assets; Delivery of Purchased Asset File. Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer that each Purchased Asset sold hereunder conforms to the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit G, except as disclosed to Buyer in an Approved Exception Report. It is understood and
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit G as modified by such Approved Exception Report, if any, shall survive delivery of the respective Purchased Asset File to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) to the
extent permitted by applicable law. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement for such

originals of which have been delivered to Custodian and except as disclosed to and approved by Buyer in writing. 


  

	 	(ix)	 Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller and Guarantor each have, as of the Purchase
Date, adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of their size and character and in light of their contemplated business operations. Seller and Guarantor are each generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof
is paying, their debts as they come due. Neither Seller nor Guarantor are insolvent nor will either be made insolvent by virtue of their execution of or performance under any of the Program Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the
insolvency laws of any jurisdiction relevant to any such determination in respect of Seller or Guarantor. Neither Seller nor Guarantor have entered into any Program Document or any Transaction pursuant thereto in contemplation of insolvency or with
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. 


  

	 	(x)	 Consents. No consent, approval or other action of, or filing by Seller with, any Governmental Authority
or any other Person is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Program Documents (other than consents, approvals, filings and other actions that have been obtained or
made, as applicable).

documents, together with all amendments thereto, if any.

“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and (B) Seller is not required to be registered as an “investment company” because it satisfies the
exception from the definition of “investment company” contained in Section 3(c)(5)(C) of the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exceptions, exclusions or exemptions available to the Seller. 



 

	 	(xv)	 Taxes. Seller has filed or caused to be filed all federal and other material tax returns which to the
Knowledge of Seller would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and has paid all material Taxes shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on any assessments made against it or any of

Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during the period from and including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding
the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction times (y) the Purchase Price for such Transaction; 

(C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by
Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and 
 (D) Buyer may terminate this Agreement. 

 

	 	(iii)	 Buyer may in accordance with Requirements of Law (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a
commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory any or all Purchased Assets or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller
credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Assets and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Program Documents. The proceeds
of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5(d), with any amounts remaining after the payment of all the
Repurchase Obligations in full and the termination of this Agreement to be paid to Seller. 


  

	 	(iv)	 The parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Purchased Assets subject to the Transactions hereunder are
not instruments traded in a recognized market, and, in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or 



  
 56 














	 	
bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Assets, Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (B) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued
Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Assets). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all Purchased Assets on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction
with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets
does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating
any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (X) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the
same Business Day or (Y) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer under the Program Documents. 

  

	 	(v)	 Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all out-of-pocket costs actually incurred in connection with covering transactions of the type described in Section 3(h), and (C) any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default. 



 

	 	(vi)	 Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Program Documents, all of the rights and
remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are characterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York,
to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any of the Program Documents. 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 Seller’s obligations to Buyer under this Agreement, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s
right to recover any deficiency. 


  

	 	(vii)	 Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies
available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Program Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not exclusive of
any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have. 



  
 57 














	 	(viii)	 Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller
hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any
or all Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.



  

	 	(ix)	 Buyer may, without prior notice to Seller, set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this
Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer against any sum or obligation
(whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller.
Buyer will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 14(b)(ix). If a sum 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 when the obligation is ascertained. Nothing in this Section 14(b)(ix) shall be
effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 14(b)(ix) 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 (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise). 


  

	 	(x)	 Seller shall, within two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s written request, execute and deliver to
Buyer such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of assuring, perfecting and evidencing Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Assets,
including, without limitation: (A) forwarding to buyer or Buyer’s designee (including, if applicable, Custodian), any payments Seller or any of its Affiliates receives on account of the Purchased Assets, in each case promptly upon receipt
thereof; (B) to the extent not already contained in the Purchased Asset File, delivering to Buyer or such designee any certificates, instruments, documents, notices or files evidencing or relating to the Purchased Assets which are in
Seller’s possession or under its control; (C) to the extent not already contained in the Purchased Asset File, delivering to Buyer underwriting summaries, credit memos, asset summaries, status reports or similar documents relating to the
Purchased Assets and in Seller’s possession or under its control. 



  
 58 














	 	(xi)	 Seller hereby appoints Buyer as
attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that Buyer
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall terminate
upon payment and satisfaction in full of the Repurchase Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 


  

	 	(xii)	 Buyer may, without the consent of Seller, terminate, replace or otherwise remove the Servicer.

transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such

 59 













 
and instructed to keep it confidential; provided, that no such disclosure made with respect to any Program Documents shall include a copy of such Program Document to the extent that a
summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a copy of any Program Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure to the extent such disclosure can be satisfied by a redacted
copy of such Program Document. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any press communication or other media announcement relating to the Program Documents and/or the Transactions must be mutually consented to in advance by Buyer
and Seller in writing. 
 17. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

which does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 17 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. 

18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY 
 This
Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or
agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. 
 19. SUCCESSORS AND
ASSIGNS/VOTING AND CONTROL RIGHTS 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that none of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Program Documents and under any
Transaction. 
 (b) (i) Buyer may at any time at no cost or expense to Seller grant to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in the Program Documents 

  
 60 













 
and/or any or all of the Transactions without the consent of, or prior notice to, Seller. In the event of any such grant by Buyer of a participation interest to a Participant, Buyer shall remain
responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Program Documents and/or any Transaction and Seller shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection with Buyer’s rights and obligations thereunder.
Any agreement pursuant to which Buyer may grant such a participation interest shall provide that Buyer shall retain the sole right and responsibility to control decision-making with respect to the Purchased Assets (including to determine whether to
purchase any Eligible Asset in a Transaction and the Market Value of the Purchased Assets), to enforce the obligations of Seller hereunder and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) the transfer restrictions contained in this Section 19(b) shall not apply during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) in connection with any participation
by Buyer, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of such participation on or before the date of such participation and Seller shall not be obligated to deal directly with any party other than Buyer. 

(ii) In the event that Buyer grants participations in the Program Documents or any or all of the Transactions hereunder, Buyer shall, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the names and addresses of all Participants in the Program Documents and/or Transactions held by it and the
principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion thereof which is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). Any Program Document or any Transaction may be participated in whole or in part only by
registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of the Program Documents or Transactions may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Buyer shall have no obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Program Documents or the Transactions) to any Person except (x) to Seller and
(y) to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Program Documents or the Transactions are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations, or is otherwise required thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of the Program Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 
 (c) Buyer may at any time assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) at no cost or expense to Seller all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Program Documents, and such Assignee shall
assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement executed by such Assignee and Buyer. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such Buyer of an amount equal to the purchase
price agreed between such Buyer and such Assignee, except to the extent set forth below, such Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights, protections and obligations of Buyer, and Buyer shall be released from its
obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of any assignment by Buyer to an Assignee
other than the assignment by Buyer of all of Buyer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Program Documents, (i) Buyer shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations under the Program
Documents and/or any 

  
 61 













 
Transaction, (ii) Seller shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with initial Buyer in connection with all Buyer’s rights and obligations thereunder, (iii) any
agreement pursuant to which Buyer may grant such an assignment shall provide that Buyer shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Seller hereunder and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and (iv) initial Buyer shall continue to (A) control decision-making with respect to the Purchased Assets, (B) determine whether to purchase any Eligible Asset in a Transaction, (C) determine the
Market Value of the Purchased Assets, (D) determine whether a Purchase Price Margin Deficit exists, (E) determine whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (F) grant extensions of any Repurchase Date,
(G) approve any material modifications to any Purchased Asset and (H) determine the Margin Availability and Purchase Price Percentage of any Purchased Asset. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the notice and
transfer restrictions contained in this Section 19(c) shall not apply during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release Buyer from its obligations hereunder. 
 (e) No Assignee,
Participant or other transferee of Buyer’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under any provision hereof (including, but not limited to, Section 3(j) and Section 30
hereof) than Buyer would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the time of the transfer. 

(f) Buyer, on Seller’s behalf, shall maintain a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of
the Assignees and the amount of each Assignee’s interest in the Program Documents and/or Transactions held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion thereof which is the subject of the assignment (the
“Register”). Any assignment of the Program Documents or Transactions may be effected only by the registration of such assignment on the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and
Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer and the owner of the amounts owing to it under the Program Documents and/or Transactions as reflected in the Register for all purposes of
the Program Documents notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. If Buyer transfers or sells its entire interest in the Program Documents and does not hold legal title, the transferee shall be responsible for the continued maintenance of the
Register and all further reporting under this Section 19(f). The Register shall be available for inspection by Buyer and Seller, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer may at any time sell or otherwise transfer its entire
interest in this Agreement, the Transactions and the other Program Documents to an Eligible Assignee and withdraw from its role as Buyer upon thirty (30) days notice to Seller.

 20. GOVERNING LAW 

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof except
for Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York. 
 21. NO WAIVERS, ETC. 

No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any
remedy hereunder by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and
until such modification, waiver or consent shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto and accompanied by (i) a duly executed and delivered reaffirmation by Guarantor of the Guaranty and (ii) a duly executed and
delivered reaffirmation by Pledgor of the Pledge Agreement. 
 22. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS 

If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code are intended to be used by either party
hereto (the “Plan Party”) in the Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed. 

23. INTENT 
 (a) The parties intend
(i) for this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder to qualify for the safe harbor treatment provided by the Bankruptcy Code and for Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to Persons under the Bankruptcy
Code with respect to a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) that payments made under
this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Sections 101 and 741(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in
Section 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code,
(iv) for the grant of a security interest/pledges of collateral in both the Pledge Agreement and the Originator Pledge Agreement to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a
“master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) for the Guaranty to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to”
the Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(a)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (vi) that Buyer (as a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other
entity listed in Sections 555, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract”
and a 

  
 63 













 
“master netting agreement” including (x) the rights, set forth in Section 14 and in Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the
Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Section 23 and in Sections 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code and (z) the non-avoidability of transfers made in connection with this Agreement as set forth in Sections 546(e) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the
fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of any Transaction under this Agreement or this Agreement as a “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement” within the meaning
of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (b) It is understood that (i) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Assets and other Repurchase
Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate,
accelerate or terminate such Transaction as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555, 559 and 561; (ii) Buyer’s right to set-off claims and appropriate and apply any and all deposits of money or property
or any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit of the account of any Affiliate against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Seller pursuant to Section 33 hereof is a
contractual right as described in Bankruptcy Code Section 561; and (iii) any payments or transfers of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered a “margin
payment” or “settlement payment” as such terms are defined in Bankruptcy Code Sections 101(38), (51A), 741(5) and 741(8). 

(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar
as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 
 (d) It is understood that this Agreement
constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any
Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is
not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 
 (e) In light of the intent set forth above in this
Section 23, Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Buyer, Seller will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in
Buyer’s reasonable discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the
Bankruptcy Code for “securities contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to request, or Buyer’s or Seller’s failure to execute, such supplements,
modifications, addendums or other documents does not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “securities contracts” and/or a “master
netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 64 













 (f) The parties agree and acknowledge that (i) the security interests granted to Buyer
in the Pledge Agreement and the Originator Pledge Agreement are each granted to Buyer to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and (ii) such security interests and the Guaranty relate to the Transactions as part of an integrated,
simultaneously-closing suite of secured financial contracts. 
 (g) Each party agrees that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is
intended to create a mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement and each Transaction constitutes a contract that (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity. 

24. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act
of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 
 (b) in the case of
Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder; and 
 (c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the
financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable. 

25. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State
court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction
under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place
of residence or domicile. 
 (b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any
legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement
or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement. 

  
 65 













 (c) The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and
any other process by the mailing of copies of such process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 25 shall affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of
Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions. 
 (d) EACH OF THE PARTIES
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER PROGRAM DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 

26. NO RELIANCE 
 Each of Buyer and Seller
hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under the Program Documents and each Transaction thereunder: 

(a) It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether
written or oral) of the other party to the Program Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Program Documents; 

(b) It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has
deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and
not upon any view expressed by the other party; 
 (c) It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full understanding of all the
terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Program Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks; 

(d) It is entering into the Program Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or
hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation; and 
 (e) It is not acting as a fiduciary or financial,
investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guaranty or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Program Documents or any Transaction thereunder. 

  
 66 













 27. INDEMNITY 

Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and
against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, actual out-of-pocket
losses, actual out-of-pocket damages, actual out-of-pocket penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, actual out-of-pocket fees, actual out-of-pocket costs, actual out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) or disbursements (all of the foregoing,
collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted
against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with
any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Assets relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law unless resulting from any
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased
Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all actual out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees of outside counsel), damage suffered by any Indemnified Party by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder,
arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller agrees to
reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all of Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the
preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and
disbursements of its outside counsel. This Section 27 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax
claim. 
 28. DUE DILIGENCE 
 Seller
acknowledges that, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and
specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect and make copies and extracts of
the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller, Servicer or subservicer and/or Custodian.
Seller also shall make available to Buyer upon reasonable advance notice a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges 

  
 67 













 
that Buyer may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that
Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all Purchased Assets. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third-party underwriter to perform such
underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third-party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third-party underwriter with access to any and all documents,
records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all actual
out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Buyer relating to Buyer’s due diligence review of any Purchased Asset. Seller shall pay for all of Buyer’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with on-site diligence visits; provided that such
liability shall be limited to one (1) visit per year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 29. SERVICING 

(a) Seller and Buyer agree that all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Assets are being transferred hereunder to Buyer on the
applicable Purchase Date and such Servicing Rights shall be transferred by Buyer to Seller upon Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Assets, and any servicing provisions of this Agreement or any other Program Document
constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Program
Documents. Notwithstanding the transfer of Servicing Rights to Buyer, Buyer hereby agrees that Servicer may continue to service the Purchased Assets (excluding the Servicing Rights) for the benefit of Buyer and Buyer’s successors or assigns;
provided, however, that such Servicer shall have entered into documentation satisfactory to Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s interest in the related Purchased Assets and its rights to sell such Purchased Assets on a servicing-released
basis and to terminate the term of such Servicer with respect to any Purchased Assets sold by Buyer upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Seller shall cause the Purchased Assets to be serviced in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices. 
 (b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to the
Servicing Agreement any and all other servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history
records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller covenants to safeguard such
Servicing Records (if any are in Seller’s possession) and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) at Buyer’s request. 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) subject to
Section 14 hereof, sell its rights to the Purchased Assets on a servicing-released basis and/or (ii) terminate any Servicer or any sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets with or
without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Seller shall cause Servicer to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such termination and transferring 

  
 68 













 
all authority to service such Purchased Asset to the successor servicer, including requiring Servicer to (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating to the Purchased Assets to
the successor servicer in such electronic format as the successor servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the successor servicer, Buyer or Buyer’s designee, the Purchased Asset File and all other files, records,
correspondence and documents in its possession relating to the Purchased Assets and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with the successor servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any legal or regulatory
requirement associated with the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Assets. Seller agrees that if Seller or any Servicer fails to cooperate with Buyer or any successor servicer in effecting the termination of such Servicer as
servicer of any Purchased Asset or the transfer of all authority to service such Purchased Asset to such successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof and the Servicing Agreement, Buyer will be irreparably harmed and entitled to injunctive
relief. 
 (d) Seller shall not employ any Servicer rated below “average” by S&P, unless such Servicer is otherwise approved
by Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, to service the Purchased Assets (excluding the Servicing Rights). 
 (e) If Servicer is an
Affiliate of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor, the payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any Transaction and this Agreement. 

30. TAXES 
 (a) Any and all payments by or
on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement 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 30) Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b) Without duplication of other amounts payable by Seller under this Section 30, Seller shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten
(10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 30) paid by Buyer
or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 69 













 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to this Section 30, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other
evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. 
 (e) (i)If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under any Program Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer 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 30(e)(ii)(A), Section 30(e)(ii)(B) and Section 30(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. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller is a “United States person” within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, 
 (A) if Buyer is a U.S. Buyer, it shall deliver to Seller on or prior
to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from
U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (I) in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Program Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable
payments under any Program Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

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

  
 70 













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

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

(C) if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed copies of any other form prescribed by
Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Requirements of Law to permit Seller to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to Buyer under any Program Document would be
subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Buyer shall
deliver to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Buyer has complied with Buyer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

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

  
 71 













 (f) If any Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 30 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 30), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 30 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 30(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 30(f), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 30(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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This
Section 30(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. 
 31. U.S. TAX TREATMENT 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Program Documents, it is the intention of the parties that under current law, for U.S. federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes, (i) the Transactions constitute and will be treated as a debt financing and (ii) the Seller will be treated as the beneficial owner of the Purchased Assets. Seller and Buyer agree to treat
and report the Transactions and the Seller as described in the preceding sentence on and in any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state or local taxing authority, unless (i) pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of
Code section 1313(a) (or similar state or local tax provision), or (ii) prohibited by applicable law as evidenced by a definitive change in the applicable statutes, regulations or administrative rulings by the Internal Revenue Service or any
judicial authority. 
 32. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Program Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such
parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Program Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution
Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

  
 72 













 (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority
to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b)
the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
  

	 	(i)	 a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 



 

	 	(ii)	 a conversion of all, or a portion or, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA
Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any
such liability under this Agreement or any other Program Document; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion
powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 


 33. SET OFF 

In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to the Seller, any such
notice being expressly waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any obligation from Seller to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from a Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller. All such set-offs shall be subject to the
priorities set forth in Section 5(c). Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made; provided, that neither the inability (upon Seller’s intervening bankruptcy or
insolvency) nor failure Buyer to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. 
 34. MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or
exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, to the extent this Agreement is determined to
create a security interest, Buyer shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. 
 (b) The Program Documents may be
executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. 

  
 73 













 (c) The headings in the Program Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall
not affect the interpretation or construction of the Program Documents. 
 (d) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the
Program Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of outside attorneys, insurance advisors, and appraisal advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of and any amendment,
supplement or modification to, the Program Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay Buyer all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable out-of-pocket attorney’s fees of outside counsel) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by
Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the
Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
expenses of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Repo Collection Account and registering the Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under this
Agreement. 
 (e) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement. 
 (f) Seller hereby covenants to file all UCC financing statements required by Buyer in order to perfect its
security interest created hereby in such rights and obligations granted above, it being agreed that Seller shall pay any and all fees required to file such financing statements. 

(g) This Agreement, the Fee Letter and each Confirmation contains a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. 

(h) The parties understand that this Agreement is a legally binding agreement that may affect such party’s rights. Each party represents
to the other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal significance of this Agreement and that it is satisfied with its legal counsel and the advice received from it. 

(i) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same
shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent
prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement. 

  
 74 













 (j) Buyer and Seller agree that neither party shall assert any claims against the other or
against any of their respective Affiliates for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages under this Agreement, any Program Document or any Transaction, all such damages and claims being hereby irrevocably waived.

 SCHEDULE 1 TO COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE 












 EXHIBIT F 

FORM OF POWER OF ATTORNEY 

Know All Men by These Presents, that CMTG SG FINANCE LLC (“Seller”), does hereby appoint Société
Générale, New York Branch (“Buyer”), its attorney-in-fact upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to act in
Seller’s name, place and stead in any way which Seller could do with respect to the enforcement of Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract, dated as
of April 30, 2018 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), between Buyer and Seller, and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Assets, the related
Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records to the extent that Seller is permitted by law to act through an agent. This Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings given in the Repurchase Agreement. 
 TO INDUCE ANY THIRD PARTY TO ACT HEREUNDER, SELLER HEREBY AGREES
THAT ANY THIRD PARTY RECEIVING A DULY EXECUTED COPY OR FACSIMILE OF THIS INSTRUMENT MAY ACT HEREUNDER, AND THAT REVOCATION OR TERMINATION HEREOF SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE AS TO SUCH THIRD PARTY UNLESS AND UNTIL ACTUAL NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH

CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE AGAINST SUCH THIRD PARTY BY REASON OF SUCH THIRD PARTY HAVING RELIED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIMS ARISE AS A RESULT OF SUCH THIRD PARTY’S BAD FAITH, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

 Exhibit F-2 













 EXHIBIT G 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
  

	(1)	 Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. The Purchased Asset is a performing Whole Loan and not a
participation interest in a Whole Loan unless otherwise approved by Buyer in writing. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage related to such Purchased Asset was subject to any other assignment (other
than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests
on, in or to such Purchased Asset other than (a) any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement and (b) as permitted in this Agreement (including Permitted Encumbrances) and Title Exceptions. Seller has full right and authority to
sell, assign and transfer such Purchased Asset, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Asset free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature
encumbering such Purchased Asset except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. 


  

	(2)	 Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate
instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Asset is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other
obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements or any of the related Purchased Asset Documents and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit
deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such
Purchased Asset Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or
under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s
realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). 



Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences or paragraph (5) below, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or
right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Purchased Asset Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on
intentional fraud by the applicable originator in connection with the origination of the Purchased Asset, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents.


  
 Exhibit G-1 














	(3)	 Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for such Purchased Asset contain provisions that
render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if
applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications. 


  

	(4)	 Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set
forth in the related Purchased Asset File, as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Asset Documents, as expressly disclosed by Seller to Buyer in writing or to the extent otherwise permitted or approved in accordance with the Agreement:
(a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Purchased Asset guaranty, and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect;
(b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the
Purchased Asset. 


  

	(5)	 Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related assignment of Mortgage and
Assignment of Leases from Seller to blank (assuming the insertion of Buyer’s name) constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related
Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Asset or in the case of a Purchased Asset
secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, an allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 6 (“Permitted Liens; Title Insurance”) of this Exhibit G set forth in any
Approved Exception Report (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) as of
origination was, and as of the related Purchase Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage,
except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) and subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and Title
Exceptions, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s
title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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 Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection. 


  

	(6)	 Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing such Purchased Asset is covered by an
American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable 



  
 Exhibit G-2 














	 	
jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, 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) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Asset (or with respect to a Purchased Asset secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to
the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the
Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (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; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases
(including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Asset (each a “Crossed Mortgage
Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Asset that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate,
materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the
“Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and
co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no
claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s Knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Asset, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the
coverage under such Title Policy. 

  

	(7)	 Junior Liens. There are, as of origination, and as of the related Purchase Date, no subordinate
mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the
subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), equipment and other personal property financing and as otherwise disclosed to and approved by Buyer in writing). 



 

	(8)	 Assignment of Leases. There exists as part of the related Purchased Asset File an Assignment of Leases
(either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases, upon recordation, creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment
of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the
lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to
applicable law and the Standard 



  
 Exhibit G-3 














	 	
Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Asset, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into
possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the mortgagee. 

  

	(9)	 UCC Filings. 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/or recording), in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary to perfect a valid security interest in all items of personal property located on the Mortgaged Property that are
owned by the Mortgagor and are reasonably necessary to operate the 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
Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property or any non-material personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law
by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, the Mortgages, security agreements, chattel Mortgages or equivalent documents related to and delivered in connection with the related Purchased Asset establish and
create a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on such items of personalty described above. 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. 


  

	(10)	 Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be
inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Purchased Asset and within twelve (12) months of the related Purchase Date. 



 

	An	 engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of such
Purchased Asset no more than twelve (12) months prior to the related Purchase Date. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans by prudent
commercial lenders, and except as disclosed on any engineering report or property condition assessment delivered to Buyer, as of the Purchase Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any
damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and
adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Asset. 


  

	(11)	 Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding
governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to
the related Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of such related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties,
if any, 



  
 Exhibit G-4 














	 	
thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges 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.


  

	(12)	 Condemnation. As of the related Purchase Date, Seller has not received written notice from any
government agency or body of any proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s Knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged
Property. 


  

	(13)	 Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the related Purchase Date, Seller has not received any written
notice of, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the date of origination and as of the related Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or
Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property. 


  

	(14)	 Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each
related Purchased Asset Document are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or
the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Purchased Asset Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer. 



 

	(15)	 No Holdbacks. The principal balance of each Whole Loan stated in the Mortgage Note has been fully
disbursed as of the related Purchase Date and there is no requirement for Future Fundings thereunder (except in the case of any Future Funding Asset and cases where the full amount of the Purchased Asset 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 Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit
such holdback). 


  

	(16)	 Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be,
insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting
the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company,
(ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively the
“Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Whole Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of
the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such
endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. 



  
 Exhibit G-5 













 Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the
related Purchased Asset Documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than twelve (12) months (or with respect to such Purchased Asset on a single asset with a
principal balance of $50 million or more, eighteen (18) months). 
 If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a
parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount
available under the National Flood Insurance Program. 
 If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of
Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the
Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms. 
 The
Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Asset Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for
property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by prudent commercial lenders, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the
aggregate. 
 An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic
zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If
the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least
“A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not
less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable. 
 The Purchased Asset Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to
be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Whole Loan, the Mortgagee (or a
trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Whole Loan together with any accrued interest thereon. 


  
 Exhibit G-6 













 All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of
the related Purchase Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or
additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Buyer. Each related Whole Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain or cause to be maintained all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’
prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be
required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller. 
  

	(17)	 Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon Seller’s review
of the related Title Policy and current surveys obtained in connection with origination, each Mortgaged Property related to such Purchased Asset (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has
access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required
utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an
endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Purchased Asset
Documents require the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created. 



 

	(18)	 No Encroachments. To Seller’s Knowledge based solely on current surveys obtained in connection with
origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the
time of the origination of such Purchased Asset are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance
or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy, (b) no improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such
Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy and (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value
or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy. 



  
 Exhibit G-7 














	(19)	 No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. Such Purchased Asset does not have a shared appreciation
feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Mortgagee. 


  

	(20)	 REMIC. To the extent such Purchased Asset is identified by Seller as a REMIC Eligible Purchased Asset,
such Purchased Asset 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 multi-family residential property, and either (1) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire,
improve or protect the portion of such hotel, multi-family, office, retail or industrial 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 Purchased Asset as of the Testing Date (as defined below), or (2) the fair market value of the interest in real property
which secures such Purchased Asset was at least equal to 80% of the principal amount of the Purchased Asset (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 Purchased Asset, and (b) a proportionate amount of any lien on such interest in real
property that is on a parity with the Purchased Asset, and (2) the “Testing Date” shall be the date on which the referenced Purchased Asset was originated unless (a) such Purchased Asset was modified after the date of its
origination in a manner that would cause a “significant modification” of such Purchased Asset within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(b), and (b) such “significant
modification” did not occur at a time when such Purchased Asset was in default or when default with respect to such Purchased Asset was reasonably foreseeable. However, if the referenced Purchased Asset has been subjected to a “significant
modification” after the date of its origination and at a time when such Purchased Asset was not in default or when default with respect to such Purchased Asset was not reasonably foreseeable, the Testing Date shall be the date upon which the
latest such “significant modification” occurred. 


  

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



 

	(22)	 Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the related Purchase Date
for such Purchased Asset, or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, except where
the failure for any such holder to be so authorized would not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by Seller. 



  
 Exhibit G-8 














	(23)	 Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of
origination and, to Seller’s Knowledge, as of the related Purchase Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the
Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee. 


  

	(24)	 Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s Knowledge, based solely upon any of a letter from any
governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation
conducted by prudent commercial lenders for similar mortgage loans, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing such Purchased Asset as of the date of origination of such Purchased Asset and as of
the related Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal
non-conforming use or structure, as to which as the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the
inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the
Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by Seller for similar mortgage loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to
rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (iv) would not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset, or (v) are adequately reserved for in accordance with the related Purchased Asset Documents. The terms
of the related Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws. 



 

	(25)	 Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all
material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s Knowledge based solely upon a letter from any Government Authorities or other
affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by prudent commercial lenders for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, as of the related Purchase Date, all such material licenses, permits
and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Asset requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. 



 

	(26)	 Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that (a) the
related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals, as specified in the related Purchased Asset
Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance




  
 Exhibit G-9 














	 	
proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property, and (iv) any material breach of the environmental covenants contained in the
related Purchased Asset Documents, and (b) the Purchased Asset shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or
insolvency law. 

  

	(27)	 Mortgage Releases. Since origination, no material portion of the related Mortgaged Property has been
released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset or materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, and, except with respect to
Purchased Assets (a) which permit defeasance by means of substituting for the Mortgaged Property (or, in the case of a Purchased Asset secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, one or more of such Mortgaged Properties) “government
securities” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, sufficient to pay the Purchased Assets (or portions thereof) in accordance with its terms, (b) where a release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property was
contemplated at origination and such portion was not considered material for purposes of underwriting the Purchased Asset, (c) where release is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain preliminary due diligence and legal requirements and
the payment of a release price that represents adequate consideration for such Mortgaged Property or the portion thereof that is being released, (d) which permit the related Mortgagor to substitute a replacement property in compliance with
REMIC Provisions, (e) which permit the release(s) of unimproved out-parcels or other portions of the Mortgaged Property that will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the
security for the Purchased Asset or that were not allocated any material value in the most recent Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property, or (f) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or other taking by a Governmental Authority, the
terms of the related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide for release of any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except in consideration of payment in full of such Purchased Asset, as opposed to the payment in full
for the portion of the Mortgaged Property to be released. 


 In the case of any identified REMIC Eligible Purchased Asset,
in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the
Purchased Asset in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if,
immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced
by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Asset and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Asset) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining
principal balance of the Purchased Asset. 

  
 Exhibit G-10 













 With respect to any Purchased Asset that is identified as a REMIC Eligible Purchased Asset
that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in
compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions. 
  

	(28)	 Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage or the related Purchased Asset Documents require the
Mortgagor to provide the Mortgagee with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5%
of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements with respect to each Purchased Asset with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance
sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a
combined basis. 


  

	(29)	 Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Asset over $20 million, the related
special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage,
or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Asset, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption
policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, do not, as of the related Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism,
as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the related Purchased Asset Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee
from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however,
that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Asset is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor
shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased
Asset Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of origination of the Purchased Asset, and if the cost of terrorism insurance
exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount. 



  
 Exhibit G-11 














	(30)	 Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, such Purchased Asset
contains a “due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Asset if, without the consent of the Mortgagee (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably
withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Asset Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to prudent commercial lenders lending on the security of
property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value
and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged,
transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Asset Documents,
(iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Asset
Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or
release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) (“Mortgage Releases”) or (32) (“Defeasance”), or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future
permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any companion loan or any subordinate debt that existed at
origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Asset Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. 



 

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




  
 Exhibit G-12 














	(32)	 Defeasance. With respect to any Purchased Asset that, pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents, can be
defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Asset Documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Asset Documents; (ii) the Purchased
Asset cannot be defeased within two (2) years after the date of origination of such Purchased Asset; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Purchased Asset when due, including
the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Purchased Asset is an anticipated repayment date
loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the anticipated repayment date, and if the Purchased Asset permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay
all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of
the Purchased Asset; (iv) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause
(iii) above; (v) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the Defeasance collateral, the portion of the Purchased Asset secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee may require such
assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (vii) the Mortgagor
is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s
fees and opinions of counsel. 


  

	(33)	 Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to such Purchased Asset
have been, in all respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial mortgage loans. 


  

	(34)	 Ground Leases. With respect to any Purchased Asset where the Purchased Asset is secured by a leasehold
estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received
from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that: 


  

	 	(a)	 The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for
recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in 



  
 Exhibit G-13 














	 	
the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage without
the consent of the lessor (or if consent is required, such consent has been obtained and a copy thereof has been included in the related Purchased Asset File) and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its
successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; 

  

	 	(b)	 The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Asset File (or in
such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the
origination of the Purchased Asset except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Purchased Asset File; 


  

	 	(c)	 The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which,
under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 30 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Purchased Asset, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such
Purchased Asset fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Purchased Asset that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes); 


  

	 	(d)	 The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority
with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the
mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject; 


  

	 	(e)	 The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the
Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Purchased Asset and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Asset and its
successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor; 


  

	 	(f)	 The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the
lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender; 



 

	 	(g)	 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 through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the
Ground Lease; 



  
 Exhibit G-14 














	 	(h)	 The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed, in Seller’s
reasonable judgment, as commercially unreasonable by a prudent commercial lender; 


  

	 	(i)	 Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the
related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total
or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount
specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the
Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest; 


  

	 	(j)	 In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel
or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related
Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, together with any accrued interest; and 



 

	 	(k)	 Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed
to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. 



 

	(35)	 No Material Default; Payment Record. As of the related Purchase Date, such Purchased Asset has not been
more than thirty (30) days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments since origination. There is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under such Purchased
Asset, or (b) no event (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, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of such Purchased Asset or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged
Property, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty
made by Seller in this Exhibit G. No person other than the Mortgagee may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the related Purchased Asset Documents. 



  
 Exhibit G-15 














	(36)	 Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the
related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to such Purchased Asset have been, in all material respects, in compliance with applicable law and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Asset and to the extent originated
by Seller or its Affiliates or, if originated by another Person, to Seller’s Knowledge, the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the
origination of such Purchased Asset; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit G. 



 

	(37)	 Diligence Materials. (a) All information with respect to such Purchased Asset set forth in the
related Diligence Materials that are prepared or provided by Seller or one of its Affiliates is true and correct in all material respects as of the related Purchase Date and contains all information required by the Program Documents to be contained
therein; and (b) to Seller’s Knowledge, all information with respect to such Purchased Asset set forth in the related Diligence Materials that are prepared or provided by a Person other than Seller or one of its Affiliates is true and
correct in all material respects as of the related Purchase Date. 


  

	(38)	 Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset and as of the related Purchase
Date, no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. 


  

	(39)	 Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to such Purchased Asset, based solely upon Seller’s
reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of the related Mortgagor delivered by such Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset (or related Whole Loan, as applicable), such Mortgagor is an entity
organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another
Mortgagor under another Purchased Asset. 


  

	(40)	 Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment and, with respect to certain Purchased
Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and/or Phase II site assessment) (collectively, an “ESA”), meeting American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) requirements
was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within twelve (12) months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify
the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need
for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the
following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material noncompliance with applicable




  
 Exhibit G-16 














	 	
environmental laws or the Environmental Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates
to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has been required to
be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material respects prior to
the related Purchase Date, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was otherwise
listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a pollution legal liability insurance policy that
covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was
identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial
resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. Except as set forth in the ESA, as of the related Purchase Date there is no Environmental Condition at the related Mortgaged Property.


  

	(41)	 Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property dated within
three (3) months of the origination date for such Purchased Asset, and within twelve (12) months of the related Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an Independent Appraiser who, to Seller’s Knowledge, had no interest, direct or
indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of Seller (or the applicable originator, if applicable). 



Each appraiser has represented in such Appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the
“Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation. 
  

	(42)	 Ground Leases. With respect to any Purchased Asset where the Purchased Asset is secured by a leasehold
estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received
from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that as of the related Purchase Date, Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground
Lease. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to
Seller’s Knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date. 



  
 Exhibit G-17 














	(43)	 Cross-Collateralization. Such Purchased Asset is not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any
other mortgage loan that is not also a Purchased Asset. 


  

	(44)	 Advance of Funds by Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the
related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Asset Documents, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no funds have been received from any Person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the
Purchased Asset (other than as contemplated by the related Purchased Asset Documents, such as, by way of example and not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under
the related lease or Purchased Asset Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Asset, other than contributions made on or prior to the related Purchase
Date. 


  

	(45)	 Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, the related
originator if not the Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Purchased Asset, the
failure to comply with which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset.
