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 the Maximum Advance Rate multiplied
by the amount of such future funding (a “Future Funding Advance”), which Future Funding Advance shall increase the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset. Buyer’s agreement to make any Future Funding Advance
shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion and in any case is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, both immediately prior to making such Future Funding Advance and also after giving effect to the consummation thereof:

 (A) as of the funding of such Future Funding Advance, no Margin Deficit, Potential Event of Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Future Funding Advance; 
 (B) the funding of the
Future Funding Advance would not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Maximum Facility Amount; 

(C) the Future Funding Advance would not cause the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset or the aggregate Purchase
Price of all applicable Purchased Assets, in either such case, to exceed the Concentration Limits; 
 (D) the amount of the
Future Funding Advance is no less than $1,000,000; 
 (E) Seller shall have demonstrated to Buyer’s satisfaction that
all conditions to the future funding under the Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied; and 
 (F) Buyer shall have
satisfactorily completed all applicable credit approval requirements and any additional due diligence investigation of the related Purchased Asset, as described in Exhibit XVI, and as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion (the
“Future Funding Due Diligence”). 

  
 30 













 (ii) On the date of the Future Funding Advance, which shall occur following
the final approval of the Future Funding Advance that all conditions set forth in this Article 3(l) have been satisfied. Buyer shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Article 3(l) (and in accordance with the
wire instructions provided by Seller in such request). Upon approval by Buyer of a particular Future Funding Advance pursuant to this Article 3(l), Buyer and Seller shall modify the existing Confirmation for the applicable Transaction
to set forth the new Advance Rate, outstanding Purchase Price and Buyer’s LTV for such Purchased Asset and any other modifications to the terms set forth on the existing Confirmation. 

(iii) 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 to the related Mortgagor (or to an escrow agent or as otherwise directed by the related Mortgagor) in respect of such
Purchased Asset. 
 (m) Amortization Period. 

(i) Provided all of the Amortization Period Conditions are satisfied, Seller shall have the option to extend the Repurchase
Date for all outstanding Transactions as of the Availability Period Expiration Date for a period equal to the lesser of (x) the date that all Repurchase Obligations have been paid in full and no Purchased Assets remain subject to Transactions
and (y) two (2) years (such period, the “Amortization Period”) from the date of the Availability Period Expiration Date (such date, the “Amortization Period Expiration Date”). For purposes of this
Article 3(m)(i), the “Amortization Period Conditions” shall be deemed to have been satisfied if: 

(A) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than sixty (60) days and no more than one hundred twenty
(120) days, prior to then current Availability Period Expiration Date, of Seller’s desire to enter the Amortization Period; 

(B) no Margin Deficit that has resulted in a Margin Deficit Notice, or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have
occurred and be continuing as of the Availability Period Expiration Date; 
 (C) the representations and warranties made by
Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor in any of the Transaction Documents shall be true and correct in all respects as of the then current Availability Period Expiration Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties (a) are made
as of a particular date, (b) are no longer true as a result of a change in fact with respect to a Purchased Asset that was consented to in writing by Buyer hereunder or (c) are disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report; 

(D) Buyer and Seller shall have executed amended Confirmations for the Amortization Period Assets; and 

(E) Seller shall have paid the Amortization Period Fee then due and payable to Buyer. 

(ii) During the Amortization Period, Seller shall pay Buyer the Amortization Period Fee in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Fee Letter. 

  
 31 













 (iii) During the Amortization Period, Buyer shall not purchase any new
Eligible Assets. If Buyer and Seller have entered into the Amortization Period in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article 3(m), then (A) on the Amortization Period Expiration Date, Seller shall be obligated to
repurchase all of the Purchased Assets subject to Transactions and transfer payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Asset, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and any other amounts due and payable to Buyer
hereunder, against the transfer by Buyer to Seller of each such Purchased Asset, and (B) following the Amortization Period Expiration Date, Buyer shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Assets to Seller until payment in full to Buyer
of all amounts due hereunder. 
 ARTICLE 4. 

MARGIN MAINTENANCE 
 (a)
Buyer may, at its option in its sole discretion, determine if a Margin Deficit Event has occurred, at any time and from time to time. If a Margin Deficit Event then exists that results in a Margin Deficit that equals or exceeds $500,000, then Buyer
may by notice to Seller in the form of Exhibit VII (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) require Seller to make a cash payment in reduction of the outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, such that, after
giving effect to such payment, no Margin Deficit shall exist with respect to the related Purchased Asset. Seller shall perform the obligations under this Article 4(a) by the close of the second (2nd) Business Day following receipt of
the Margin Deficit Notice. 
 (b) The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, 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 hereunder 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. 
 ARTICLE 5.

 INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS 

(a) The Depository Account shall be established at the Depository and shall be subject to the Depository Agreement which shall be executed and
delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Depository Account. The Depository Account shall, at all times, be subject to the
Depository Agreement. Seller shall cause all Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income, to be deposited into the Depository Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall
cause Primary Servicer to remit to the Depository Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets within two (2) Business Days of receipt. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be deposited directly into, or, if
applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Depository Account. 
 (b) So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (other than Principal Payments) on deposit in the Depository Account in respect of the Purchased Assets during each Collection Period shall be applied on the related Remittance Date as
follows: 
 (i) first, (a) to the Custodian for the payment of the fees payable to Custodian pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement, then (b) to the Depository pursuant to the Depository Agreement and then (c) to the Servicer for payment of the fees payable to Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement (to the extent not withheld from Income
deposited into the Depository Account); 

  
 32 













 (ii) second, to Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential that
has accrued and is outstanding as of such Remittance Date; 
 (iii) third, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other
amounts then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under any Transaction Document (including any outstanding Margin Deficits); and 

(iv) fourth, to Seller, the remainder, if any. 

If, on any Remittance Date, the amounts deposited in the Depository Account shall be insufficient to make the payments required under
(i) through (iii) above of this Article 5(b), and Seller does not otherwise make such payments on such Remittance Date, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. 

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Principal Payments on deposit in the Depository Account in
respect of the Purchased Assets applied by the Depository no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Depository Account as follows: 

(i) first, if a Principal Payment in respect of any Purchased Asset has been made during the related Collection Period,
to Buyer an amount equal to (A) during the Availability Period, the product of the amount of such Principal Payment, multiplied by the applicable Advance Rate and (B) during the Amortization Period, an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of such Principal Payment until the outstanding aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchased Assets has been reduced to zero (0); 

(ii) second; to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts then due and payable to Buyer or its Affiliates under any
Transaction Document (including any outstanding Margin Deficits); and 
 (iii) third; to Seller, the remainder, if
any. 
 (d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Payments
or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) on deposit in the Depository Account in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be applied as determined in Buyer’s sole discretion pursuant to Article 13(b)(iii). 

(e) If the amounts remitted to Buyer as provided in Articles 5(b) and 5(c) are insufficient to pay all amounts due
and payable from Seller to Buyer under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, whether due to the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, Seller shall remain liable to Buyer for payment of all such amounts when due. 

ARTICLE 6. 
 SECURITY
INTEREST 
 (a) Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets (other than for U.S.
federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in order to preserve Buyer’s rights under this Agreement in the event that a court or other forum
recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as loans and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a
transfer of a 

  
 33 













 
Purchased Asset is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Asset to Buyer, Seller hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in all of its right, title
and interest in, to and under the Purchased Items (as defined below) to Buyer to secure the payment of the Repurchase Price on all Transactions to which it is a party and all other amounts owing by it to Buyer hereunder, including, without
limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 27, and under the other Transaction Documents, and to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service the Purchased Assets in conformity with Article 29 and any
other obligation of Seller to Buyer (collectively, the “Repurchase Obligations”). Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Purchased Asset serves as collateral for the Buyer under this Agreement and that Buyer has the
right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to realize on any or all of the Purchased Assets in order to satisfy the Seller’s obligations hereunder. Seller agrees to update in internal registers, books and records
(including, without limitation, to mark its computer records and tapes) to reflect and evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder. All of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each of the following items of property,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located, is hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Items”: 

(i) the Purchased Assets and all “securities accounts” (as defined in
Article 8-501(a) of the UCC) to which any or all of the Purchased Assets are credited; 

(ii) any cash or cash equivalents delivered to Buyer in accordance with
Articles 4(a). 
 (iii) the Purchased Asset Documents, Servicing Agreements,
Servicing Records, Servicing Rights, all servicing fees relating to the Purchased Assets, insurance policies relating to the Purchased Assets, and collection and escrow accounts and letters of credit relating to the Purchased Assets; 

(iv) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “investment property”,
“instruments”, “securities accounts” and “deposit accounts”, each as defined in the UCC, relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; 

(v) any other items, amounts, rights or properties transferred or pledged by Seller to Buyer under any of the Transaction
Documents; and 
 (vi) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments, 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) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (c)
The security interest of Buyer in the Purchased Items shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith and the other Transaction Documents
including, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller repurchasing each Purchased Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Items shall not terminate upon Buyer’s determination of the Market Value of any
Purchased Asset to be zero. Upon such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and shall promptly return the Purchased Assets to Seller and reconvey the
Purchased Items to Seller and release its security interest in the Purchased Items. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to this Article 6, 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. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s
sole cost and expense, as 

  
 34 













 
applicable, 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 shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, 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 (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder). Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file a UCC financing
statement naming Seller as debtor and Buyer as secured party and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets now owned or hereafter acquired.” 

(d) Seller hereby pledges to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to Buyer a first
priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Deposit 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 Deposit Account. 
 ARTICLE 7. 

PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY 

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, (i) ownership of the Purchased Asset shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee
(including any Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller or an Acceptable Attorney pursuant to an escrow letter or other undertaking approved by Buyer, in its sole
discretion specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction and (ii) Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer on a servicing-released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Purchased
Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights. Subject to this Agreement, Seller may sell to Buyer, repurchase from Buyer and re-sell Eligible Assets to Buyer, but may not substitute other Eligible Assets
for Purchased Assets. 
 (b) Seller shall: 

(i) with respect to each Purchased Asset that is not a Table Funded Purchased Asset, (A) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the Business Day prior to the related Purchase Date, deliver and release to Custodian (with a copy to Buyer), the Purchased Asset Documents together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by Buyer, in
Buyer’s sole discretion, and (B) on the Purchase Date, cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt confirming receipt of such Purchased Asset Documents; and 

(ii) with respect to each Table Funded Purchased Asset, (A) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Purchase Date,
deliver or cause Bailee to deliver to Buyer, by electronic transmission, a true and complete copy of the related Mortgage Note with assignment in blank, loan agreement, Mortgage, Title Policy and executed Bailee Agreement, (B) not later than
1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Purchase Date, deliver or Bailee to deliver and release to Custodian (with a copy to Buyer), the Purchased Asset Documents and any other documentation in respect of such
Purchased Asset requested by Buyer, in its sole discretion, and (C) not later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such Purchased Asset Documents by Custodian, cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt confirming such receipt;

 provided that if Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the original Purchased Asset Documents required to be
delivered as originals (excluding the Mortgage Note, and the Assignment of Mortgage, originals of which must be delivered at the time required under the 

  
 35 













 
provisions above), Seller shall deliver a photocopy thereof and an officer’s certificate of Seller certifying that such copy represents a true and correct copy of the original and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver such original document within one hundred eighty (180) days after the related Purchase Date (or such longer period after the related Purchase Date to which Buyer may consent in its sole
discretion, so long as Seller is, as certified in writing to Buyer not less frequently than monthly, using its best efforts to obtain the original). After the expiration of such commercially reasonable efforts period, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a
certification that states, despite Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts, Seller was unable to obtain such original document, and thereafter Seller shall have no further obligation to deliver the related original document. 

(c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to Buyer and to the Custodian additional copies of, originals of, documents evidencing any
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents in accordance with the
Custodial Agreement. With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Buyer, its designee (including the Custodian), or the Acceptable Attorney, as the case may be, Seller shall have executed and delivered to Buyer the omnibus
power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit IV attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its attorney in fact with full power, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to (i) complete the endorsements
of the Purchased Assets, including without limitation the Mortgage Notes, Assignments of Mortgages, and any transfer documents related thereto, (ii) record the Assignments of Mortgages, (iii) prepare and file and record each assignment of
mortgage, (iv) take any action (including exercising voting and/or consent rights) with respect to intercreditor agreements or participation agreements, (v) complete the preparation and filing, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer,
of such financing statements, continuation statements, and other UCC forms, as Buyer may from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect, and preserve Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Assets, (vi) enforce
Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and to, and (vii) take such other steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against, under or with respect to such
Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records. Buyer shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the Custodian,
and the Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. If a Purchased Asset File is not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), such Purchased Asset File shall be held in trust by Seller
or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Buyer or its designee. The possession of the
Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records
(including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale of the related Purchased Asset to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including the Custodian) shall
release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets, is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased
Asset by Seller or as otherwise required by law or set forth in the Custodial Agreement. 
 (d) Buyer hereby grants to Seller a revocable
option to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets (each, a “Revocable Option”) and to vote, take corporate actions and exercise any rights in connection with the Purchased Assets, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such Revocable Option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of Seller in any Purchased Asset. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Potential Event
of Default or an Event of Default, and in each case subject to the provisions of the 

  
 36 













 
Purchased Asset Documents, the Revocable Option discussed above shall automatically terminate and thereafter Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to
the Purchased Assets without regard to Seller’s instructions (including, but not limited to, if an Act of Insolvency shall occur with respect to Seller, to the extent Seller controls or is entitled to control selection of any servicer, Buyer
may transfer any or all of such servicing to an entity satisfactory to Buyer). 
 ARTICLE 8. 

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS 

(a) Title to all Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all
Purchased Items, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Article 19, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with
the Purchased Assets or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Items, and provided that no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Items to
Seller pursuant to Article 3 of this Agreement or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligations
pursuant to Article 19 hereof. 
 (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate
Buyer to segregate any Purchased Assets delivered to Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Asset shall remain in the custody of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

 ARTICLE 9.

(v) Litigation; Requirements of Law. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to
the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or any of its assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or threatened against Seller that (A) may, individually or in the aggregate, result in any
Material Adverse Effect, (B) may have an adverse effect on the validity of the Transaction Documents or any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Seller under any of the Transaction Documents or (C) requires

from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, 

  
 38 













 
encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Article 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 Assets to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets to Buyer, Buyer shall be the equitable owner of such Purchased Assets free of any adverse claim. In the event the
related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the 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 Purchased Assets and Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Assets (and without limitation on the foregoing, Buyer, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the
Purchased Assets). 
 (viii) No Material Adverse Effect; No Potential Events of Default. To Seller’s Knowledge,
there are no post-Transaction facts or circumstances that have a Material Adverse Effect on any Purchased Asset that Seller has not notified Buyer of in writing. No Potential Event of Default or Event of Default exists under or with respect to the
Transaction Documents. 
 (ix) Authorized Representatives. The duly authorized representatives of Seller are listed

“adverse claim” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder. 

(B) The provisions of this Agreement and the related Confirmation are effective to either (1) constitute a sale of
Purchased Items to Buyer or (2) in the event the related Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets, to create in favor of Buyer a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and
interest of Seller in, to and under the Purchased Items, and in such event, Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Items (and without limitation on the foregoing, Buyer, as entitlement holder, shall
have a “security entitlement” to the Purchased Items). 
 (C) Upon receipt by the Custodian of each Mortgage Note

Purchased Assets pursuant to Exhibit V are true, complete and correct, except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report. 

  
 39 













 (E) Upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Buyer as “Secured Party”, Seller as “Debtor” and describing the Purchased Items, in the jurisdiction and recording office listed on Exhibit
X attached hereto, the security interests granted hereunder in that portion of the Purchased Items which can be perfected by filing under the UCC will constitute fully perfected security interests under the UCC in all right, title and
interest of Seller in, to and under such Purchased Items.

Buyer shall either be the owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in, the Depository Account and all amounts at any time on deposit therein.

Purchased Items. 
 (H) With respect to each Purchased Asset purchased by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller from a Transferor,
(a) such Purchased Asset was acquired and transferred pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, (b) such Transferor received reasonably equivalent value in consideration for the transfer of such Purchased Asset, (c) no such transfer was made
for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such Transferor to Seller or an Affiliate of Seller, (d) no such transfer is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code, and (e) if Seller acquired the Purchased
Asset from a Transferor, unless such Transferor is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Guarantor, Seller has delivered to Buyer an opinion of counsel regarding the true sale of the purchase of such Asset by Seller and, if such Asset was acquired by
Seller’s Affiliate from a Transferor, the true sale of the purchase of the Asset by the Affiliate of Seller from such Transferor, which opinions shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and (f) the representations
and warranties made by such Transferor to Seller or such Affiliate in such Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis and are hereby remade by Seller to Buyer on each date as of which they speak in such Purchase
Agreement. Seller or such Affiliate of Seller has been granted a security interest in each such Purchased Asset, filed one or more UCC financing statements against the Transferor to perfect such security interest, and assigned such financing
statements in blank and delivered such assignments to Buyer or Custodian. 
 (I) Seller has complied with all material
requirements of the Custodial Agreement with respect to each Purchased Asset, including delivery to Custodian of all required Purchased Asset Documents. Except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report, Seller or its designee is in
possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Asset File with respect to each Purchased Asset, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to the Custodian. 

(J) The Purchased Assets constitute the following, as applicable, as defined in the UCC: a general intangible, instrument,
investment property, security, deposit account, financial asset, uncertificated security, securities account, or security entitlement. Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any UCC financing statements filed against Seller as
debtor that include the Purchased Assets, other than any financing statement that has been terminated or filed pursuant to this Agreement.

 (xi) Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as
of each Purchase Date, adequate capital for the normal obligations foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction thereunder are entered
into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. The transfer of the Purchased Assets subject hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Assets is not undertaken with the
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Seller’s creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereof, is generally able to pay, and
as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they become due, and the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Asset (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the
assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Items subject hereto. No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Seller in the last ten (10) years, and Seller has not in the last ten (10) years made an
assignment on behalf of creditors or taken advantage of any debtors relief laws. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other
similarly situated entities. 
 (xii) Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or
validation of, or filing, recording or registration by Seller with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, (A) the execution, delivery and performance of any Transaction Document
to which Seller is or will be a party, (B) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Transaction Document against Seller or (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than
consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made as applicable, and the filing of certain financing statements in respect of certain security interests). 

(xiii) Organizational Documents. Seller has delivered to Buyer certified copies of its organization documents, together
with all amendments thereto, if any. 
 (xiv) No Encumbrances. There are (i) no outstanding rights, options,
warrants or agreements on the part of Seller for a purchase, sale or issuance, in connection with the Purchased Assets, (ii) no agreements on the part of Seller to issue, sell or distribute the Purchased Assets, and (iii) no obligations on
the part of Seller (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities or interest therein, except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 

(xv) Federal Regulations. Seller is not required to register as an “investment company,” or a company
“controlled by an investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). 

(xvi) Taxes. Seller has timely filed all required federal income tax returns and all other material Tax returns,
domestic and foreign, required to be filed by it and has paid all Taxes (whether or not shown on a return), which have become due, except for Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which
appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Seller has satisfied all of its withholding Tax obligations. No Tax Liens are currently filed against any assets of Seller and no claims are currently being asserted in writing
against Seller with respect to Taxes (except for liens and with respect to Taxes not yet due and payable or liens or claims with respect to Taxes that are being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with GAAP). 

  
 41 













 (xvii) Judgments/Bankruptcy. Except as disclosed in writing to Buyer,
there are no judgments against Seller unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court located in the United States of America and no Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller. 

(xviii) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. All proceeds of each Transaction shall be used by Seller for purposes
permitted under Seller’s governing documents, provided that no part of the proceeds of any Transaction will be used by Seller to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
any margin stock. Neither the entering into of any Transaction nor the use of any proceeds thereof will violate, or be inconsistent with, any provision of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 

(xix) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction Documents, or any written statement
furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances under or context in which they were made. 
 (xx) Financial Information. All financial data
concerning Seller and, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased Assets that has been delivered by or on behalf of Seller to Buyer is true, complete and correct in all material respects. All financial data concerning Seller has been prepared fairly
in accordance with GAAP. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, the Purchased Assets, or in the results of
operations of Seller, which change is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Seller. 
 (xxi)
Intentionally Omitted. 
 (xxii) Servicing Agreements. Seller has delivered to Buyer copies of all Servicing
Agreements pertaining to the Purchased Assets and to the Knowledge of Seller, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets subject to a Servicing Agreement, each such Servicing Agreement is in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms and no default or event of default exists thereunder. 
 (xxiii) No
Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such
advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is not relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax
treatment of such Transactions.

political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

of Buyer, it shall (A) execute and deliver such further documents, provide such additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request in order to insure compliance with the provisions hereof (including,
without limitation, compliance with the USA Patriot Act and to fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and (B) provide such opinions of counsel concerning matters relating to this Agreement as Buyer may reasonably request;

this Agreement, none of Seller or, to Seller’s Knowledge, any of its Affiliates will conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction, Assets or dealings, with any Person who is the subject of Sanctions. Seller further covenants and agrees

(z) Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to a Purchased Asset (including such
amendments, modifications or waivers that do not constitute a Significant Modification).

Guarantor; 

  
 53 













 (xii) Seller or Guarantor or any of their present or future Affiliates shall
be in default under any repurchase facility, loan facility or hedging transaction entered into by Seller or Guarantor or any of their present or future Affiliates, as applicable, to Buyer or any of its present or future Affiliates, which default

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (xiv) either (A) the Transaction Documents shall for any reason not
cause, or shall cease to cause, Buyer to be the owner free of any adverse claim of any of the Purchased Assets, and such condition is not cured by Seller within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from Buyer to Seller or after Seller
otherwise has Knowledge thereof, or (B) if a Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing, and the Transaction Documents with respect to any Transaction shall for any reason cease to create and maintain a valid first priority security

(xviii) the breach by Pledgor of any term or condition set forth in the Pledge and Security Agreement or of any representation,
warranty, certification or covenant made or deemed made in the Pledge and Security Agreement by Pledgor, and such breach or failure to perform is susceptible of cure and is not remedied within (A) the specified cure period or (B) if no
cure is 

  
 54 













 
specified, five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (1) notice thereof to Pledgor to Buyer or (2) Pledgor’s Knowledge thereof; provided, however, that with
respect to clause (B) only, if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such five (5) Business Day period and if Pledgor has diligently and expeditiously proceeded to cure the same, such five
(5) Business Day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Pledgor, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, and in no event shall such cure period exceed fifteen (15) days from the earlier of
Pledgor’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of such default or Pledgor’s Knowledge of such default; provided, further however, that if Pledgor shall have made any such representation with knowledge that it was materially
incorrect or untrue at the time made, such misrepresentation shall constitute an Event of Default;

deemed to have been made or repeated and such breach is not remedied within ten (10) Business Days after (A) delivery of notice thereof to Seller by Buyer or (B) Knowledge on the part of Seller of such breach; provided,
however, that if Seller shall have made any such representation with Knowledge that it was materially incorrect or untrue at the time made, such misrepresentation shall constitute an Event of Default;

(A) the specified cure period or (B) if no cure is specified, five (5) Business Days after the earlier of (1) notice thereof to Seller to Buyer or (2) Seller’s Knowledge thereof; provided, however, that
with respect to clause (B) only, if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such five (5) Business Day period and if Seller has diligently and expeditiously proceeded to cure the same, such five
(5) Business Day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Seller, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, and in no event shall such cure period exceed thirty (30) days from the earlier of

however, that with respect to clause (B) only, if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such five (5) Business Day period and if Guarantor has diligently and expeditiously proceeded to cure
the same, such five (5) Business Day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Guarantor, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, and in no event shall such cure period exceed


  
 55 













 
fifteen (15) days from the earlier of Guarantor’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of such default or Guarantor’s Knowledge of such default; provided, further
however, that if Guarantor shall have made any such representation with knowledge that it was materially incorrect or untrue at the time made, such misrepresentation shall constitute an Event of Default; 

(xxiv) Reserved; 

(xxv) Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor are required to register as an “investment company” (as defined in the Investment
Company Act), or any of the terms of this Agreement violate any requirement of the Investment Company Act, including without limitation Section 18 thereof or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder; 

(xxvi) Seller or any servicer fails to deposit all Income or other amounts as required by the provisions of this Agreement when
due, or an event of default has occurred under any servicing agreement (including the Servicing Agreement); provided that no Event of Default under this clause (xxvi) shall occur if (a) such failure to deposit all Income or any
other amounts as required by the provisions of this Agreement is cured within two (2) Business Days of written notice to Seller or Seller otherwise becoming aware thereof and (b) the related servicer is removed and replaced with a
replacement servicer satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion within sixty (60) days of such date; or 
 (xxvii)
Guarantor’s audited annual financial statements or the notes thereto or other opinions or conclusions stated therein are qualified or limited by reference to the status of Guarantor as a “going concern” or a reference of similar
import, other than a qualification or limitation expressly related to Buyer’s rights in the Purchased Assets. 
 (b) After the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller shall have no ability to enter into any further Transactions hereunder. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to Seller, the following rights and
remedies shall be available to Buyer: 
 (i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option
shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not
already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). 

(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Article 13(b)(i) of this
Agreement: 
 (A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and
payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date without presentment or demand of any kind, which are hereby expressly waived, and all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Payments or any other amounts received, without regard to
their source) deposited in the Depository Account shall be retained by Buyer and applied in accordance with Article 5(d); 

(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the
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 

  
 56 













 
Accelerated Repurchase Date to but excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the Purchase Price for
such Transaction (decreased by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by the Depository or Seller from time to time pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement and applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any amounts
applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to Article 13(b)(iii) of this Agreement); and 
 (C) Buyer may
terminate this Agreement. 
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to
Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets, and/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 Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Article 13(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default, including without limitation, all costs of collection associated with the interpretation and enforcement of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and all of the other
Transaction Documents; (w) second, to actual, out-of-pocket damages incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default, (x) third, to the
Repurchase Price; (y) fourth, to any Breakage Costs; and (z) fifth, to return any excess to Seller. 

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the 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. 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 (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Assets on the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets
in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. 
 (v) Seller
shall be liable to Buyer and its Affiliates and shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates for the amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all
out-of-pocket losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel, actually incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a
consequence of an Event of Default. 
 (vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction
Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign (where relevant), and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized 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 other agreement between Buyer and Seller. 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, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. 


  
 57 













 (vii) Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Seller and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have. 
 (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, to the extent permitted by law, any defense Seller
might otherwise have arising from the use of non-judicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that non-judicial 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. 

ARTICLE 14. 
 INCREASED
COSTS; TAXES 
 (a) Market Disruption. If prior to the first (1st) day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any
Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that LIBOR is unobtainable in accordance in the definition of LIBOR in Article 2, or
(ii) LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as determined and certified by Buyer) of making or maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, then
Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail such circumstances, establish the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Rate Period and all subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice is withdrawn by Buyer,
as a per annum rate equal to the sum of (x) Federal Funds Rate plus (y) the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”). 

(b) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if 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 enter into or maintain Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions or, if such
adoption of or change in Requirement of Law makes it unlawful for Buyer to continue to maintain Transactions as contemplated by this Agreement, to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) 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; provided, however, that any such
determination by Buyer and imposition of Alternative Rate Transactions shall be applied to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on a day that 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 Article 14(f) of this Agreement. 

(c) Increased Costs. If 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 or any Transferee 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) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligation, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; 

  
 58 













 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any Reserve Requirements, other
reserves, 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 that is not otherwise included in the determination of 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 that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable
business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its
demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that any such determination by Buyer and imposition of such increased costs shall be applied to all
sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional
amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets. 

(d) Capital Adequacy. If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital
adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation 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 reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer, to be material, then from time to time, after
submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction; provided, however, that any such determination by Buyer and
imposition of such increased costs shall be applied to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to
Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets. 

(e) Dodd-Frank; Basel III. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines or directives promulgated in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for
International Settlements, the Basel committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities pursuant to Basel III, in each case are deemed to be an adoption of or change in a
Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 
 (f) Breakage
Costs. If Seller repurchases Purchased Assets on a day other than the last day of a Pricing Rate Period, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual
out-of-pocket losses, costs and/or expenses which Buyer sustains as a direct consequence thereof (“Breakage Costs”), in each case for the
remainder of the applicable Pricing Rate Period. Buyer shall deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its
calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error. This Article 14(f) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder. 

  
 59 













 (g) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law (including FATCA). If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of
Seller) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Seller, then Seller shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 14) the applicable Buyer or Transferee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(h) Payment of Other Taxes by Seller. Seller shall timely pay, without duplication, (i) any Other Taxes imposed on such Seller to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) any Other Taxes imposed on Buyer or Transferee upon written notice from such Person setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Other Taxes. 

(i) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Article 14, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or Transferee 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 or Transferee. 
 (j) Indemnification by Seller. Seller shall indemnify Buyer and each
Transferee, within ten (10) calendar days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Article 14) payable or
paid by Buyer or such Transferee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Buyer or Transferee 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 or such Transferee shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(k) Status of Buyer and Assignees. Any Buyer or Assignee that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with
respect to payments made under any Transaction Document 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 or Assignee, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will enable
Seller to determine whether or not Buyer or Assignee 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 Articles 14(k)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in Buyer’s or Assignee’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject Buyer or such Assignee to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer or such Assignee. 

  
 60 













 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) Buyer or any Transferee that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller on or prior to the date on which Buyer or such
Assignee acquires an interest under any Transaction Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that Buyer or Assignee is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Buyer shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Assignee acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (1) 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 this Agreement, executed originals 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 this Agreement, 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; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner,
executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-B or Exhibit
VIII-C, 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 substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII-D on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Buyer
shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Buyer acquires an interest under this Agreement (and from time to
time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 61 













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

 Buyer and each Assignee 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. 

(l) Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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 Article 14(l) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 14(l)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Article 14(l) 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 Article 14(l) (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 Article 14(l), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Article 14(l) the payment of which would place
the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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. 
 (m) Assignment of Certain Rights. If any Buyer or
Assignee requests compensation under this Article 14 or, if Seller is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Buyer or any Assignee or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Buyer or Assignee
pursuant to Article 14(d), or if any Buyer or Assignee defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, then Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Buyer or Assignee, require such Buyer or Assignee to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article 18), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Article 3(g) or
Article 14(c)) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Buyer, if a Buyer accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) such Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for all Transactions, Price Differential accreted with respect thereto, 

  
 62 













 
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Repurchase Price principal and accreted Price Differential and fees) or Seller (in
the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Article 14(c) or payments required to be made pursuant to Article 3(g), such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Buyer or Assignee shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Buyer or Assignee or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 (n) Survival of Obligations. Each party’s
obligations under this Article 14 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Buyer or Assignee, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 15. 

SINGLE AGREEMENT 
 Buyer
and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of, and in reliance upon, the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and
have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall
constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any
other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other 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 payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. 

ARTICLE 16. 
 RECORDING
OF COMMUNICATIONS 
 EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE
MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR
OTHER PROCEEDINGS, AND AGREES THAT A DULY AUTHENTICATED TRANSCRIPT OF SUCH A TAPE RECORDING SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WRITING CONCLUSIVELY EVIDENCING THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT. 

ARTICLE 17. 
 NOTICES AND
OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 
 Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted
hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid
delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery or (d) by telecopier (with answerback acknowledged) provided that such telecopied notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth
above. A notice shall be deemed to have been given: (w) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (x) in the case of registered or 

  
 63 













 
certified mail, when delivered or the first attempted delivery on a Business Day, (y) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day or
(z) in the case of telecopier, upon receipt of answerback confirmation, provided that such telecopied notice was also delivered as required in this Article 17. A party receiving a notice that does not comply with the
technical requirements for notice under this Article 17 may elect to waive in writing any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. 

ARTICLE 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. 
 ARTICLE 19. 

NON ASSIGNABILITY 
 (a)
Subject to Article 19(b) below, Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer and any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer shall be null and void ab initio. Buyer may, without consent of Seller, sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”)
participating interests in any Transaction, its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this Agreement. Buyer may, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Person (an “Assignee” and
together with Participants, each a “Transferee” and collectively, the “Transferees”) all or any part of its rights its interest in the Purchased Assets, or any other interest of Buyer under this
Agreement, provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) any such Transferee shall not be a Prohibited Transferee, (y) Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with Buyer in connection
with Buyer’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and (ii) Buyer shall retain sole decision-making authority under the Transaction Documents. Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Buyer or any
other Person for any cost or expense relating to any such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment, transfer or sale of participating interest and to enter into such
restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale, all at no expense to Seller; provided, that any such
amendments will not materially increase Seller’s obligations hereunder or materially adversely affect Seller’s rights hereunder. 

(b) Buyer, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain, at its offices at the address set forth on Annex I attached
hereto (including electronically), a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Assignees, and ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement of
any Assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, Buyer and the Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or in any other interests under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available
for inspection by Seller, Buyer and any Assignee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice during normal banking business hours. 

  
 64 













 (c) If Buyer sells a participation it shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement of each Participant (the “Participant
Register”); provided that 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 ownership rights in the
Transactions, Purchased Assets or any other interests under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent (i) disclosing the portion of the Participant Register relating to a Participant with respect to which a claim for additional amounts
is made under Articles 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(d) or 14(f), or (ii) otherwise to the extent such disclosure is reasonably expected to be necessary to establish
that such ownership rights in the Transactions or any other interests under this Agreement are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no sale, assignment, transfer or participation pursuant to this Article 19 shall be effective unless and until reflected in the Register or Participant Register, as applicable. 

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Buyer from pledging any of its Purchased Assets hereunder to a Federal Reserve
Bank in support of borrowings made by such Buyer from such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, no such pledge shall release a Buyer from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for such Buyer as a party
hereto. 
 ARTICLE 20. 

GOVERNING LAW 
 THIS
AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT. 

ARTICLE 21. 
 NO WAIVERS,
ETC. 
 No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and
no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party 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 here from shall
be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation of any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Articles 4(a) or 4(b) hereof
will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date. 

  
 65 













 ARTICLE 22. 

USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS 

(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of ERISA are intended to be used by either party hereto (the
“Plan Party”) in a 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 is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed. 

(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Article 22, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller
furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition. 

(c) By entering into a Transaction, pursuant to this Article 22, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that
since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition that Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and
unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party. 

ARTICLE 23. 
 INTENT

 (a) The parties intend and recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in
Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of Assets subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined
in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). The parties intend (i) for each Transaction 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 “repurchase agreement” as defined in Section 101(47)
of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in
Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) for the grant of a security interest set forth in Article 6 to also be a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and a
“repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) that Buyer (for so long as each party is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,”
“repo participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Sections 546, 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections
afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “repurchase agreement” and a “securities contract,” and a “master netting agreement” including (x) the rights, set forth in Article 13 and in
Section 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets and terminate this Agreement, and (y) the right to offset or net out as set forth in Article 13 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7),
362(o) and 546 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (b) It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or
to liquidate Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Article 13 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate
Assets as described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or
other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or
other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 66 













 (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 the 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) Each party hereto further agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction as a
“repurchase agreement,” “securities contract,” and/or “master netting agreement,” or each party as a “repo participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except in so far as the type of Purchased
Assets subject to the Transactions or, in the case of a “repurchase agreement,” the term of the Transactions, would render such definition inapplicable. 

(e) 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). 
 (f) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “master netting agreement” as
defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, and as used in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (g) Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes (a) to treat each Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and (b) that the Purchased
Assets are and will continue to be owned by Seller in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by law (in which
case the party with knowledge of such requirement shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement). 
 (h) The parties agree that
the Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement
or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents. 
 ARTICLE 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, 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; 

  
 67 













 (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; 

(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; and 

(d) In the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an “insured depository institution”, as that term is defined in
Section 1813(c)(2) of Title 12 of the United States Code, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association
Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable. 
 ARTICLE 25. 

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS 

(a) PURSUANT TO, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH, SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK STATE
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NON 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. 
 (c) THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT EACH MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND 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 ARTICLE 25
SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF EITHER PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF SUCH PARTY TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.


  
 68 













 (d) SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 

ARTICLE 26.

 ARTICLE 27.

 INDEMNITY 
 Seller
hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual
out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively “Indemnified Amounts”) that 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, incurred and paid by or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of, or in connection with, 

  
 69 













 
or relating to the Transaction Documents including 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 liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct 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, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including, without limitation, ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act; provided, that Seller shall not be liable
for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought

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 also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, those incurred pursuant to Article 28 and Article 3 (including, without
limitation, all Pre-Purchase Legal Expenses, even if the underlying prospective Transaction for which they were incurred does not take place for any reason) and the enforcement or the preservation of
Buyer’s rights under this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or Transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller
hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller. This Article 27 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, Indemnified Amounts, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs or expenses.

 ARTICLE 28. 
 DUE
DILIGENCE 
 Seller acknowledges that 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, Primary Servicer and any other servicer or sub-servicer and/or the Custodian. Seller agrees to reimburse Buyer for any and all reasonable out of pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Buyer with respect to continuing due diligence on the Purchased Assets, which shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Seller also shall make available to Buyer
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 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 of the Purchased Assets; provided, that prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, notwithstanding anything in this


  
 70 













 
Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not contact any Mortgagor of an Eligible Asset with respect to a proposed Transaction or a Purchased Asset, any related sponsor or other obligor, any
related tenant or any other loan party, without Seller’s prior consent. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Assets itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to 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. Upon a written demand therefor by Buyer to Seller, Seller further agrees that Seller shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after such a demand) reimburse
Buyer for any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets. 

ARTICLE 29. 
 SERVICING

 (a) Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including the Primary Servicer) shall service the Assets for the benefit of Buyer and
Buyer’s successors and assigns. The appointment of each servicer of any Purchased Asset shall be subject to the prior written approval of Buyer (other than the initial Primary Servicer that has been
pre-approved). Seller shall cause each such servicer (including the Primary Servicer) to service the Purchased Assets at Seller’s sole cost and for the benefit of Buyer in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices; provided that, without prior written consent of Buyer in its sole discretion as required by Article 7(d) no servicer (including the Primary Servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall take any action with
respect to any Purchased Asset described in Article 7(d) other than pursuant to a Revocable Option. 
 (b) Seller agrees that
Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including, but not limited to, any and all servicing agreements (including, without limitation, the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement relating to the servicing of any or all of
the Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, valuations, other closing
documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”), so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller
covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee at Buyer’s request. 
 (c) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and/or (ii) terminate Seller (as the servicer), Primary Servicer or
any other servicer or sub-servicer of the Purchased Assets with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. 

(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers or any other servicer other than Primary Servicer pursuant
to the Primary Servicing Agreement to service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion. If the Purchased Assets are serviced by such a Buyer approved
sub-servicer or any other servicer, Seller shall, irrevocably assign all rights, title and interest (if any) in the servicing agreements in the Purchased Assets to Buyer. Seller shall cause all servicers and sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute a direct agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub-servicer shall
transfer all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and so long as any Purchased Asset is owned by Buyer hereunder, following notice from Buyer to Seller and each such servicer of an Event
of Default under this Agreement, each such servicer (including Primary Servicer) or sub-servicer shall take no action with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as specifically directed by Buyer. 

  
 71 













 (e) The payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding
under any Transaction and this Agreement. 
 (f) For the avoidance of doubt, Seller retains no economic rights to the servicing, other than
Seller’s rights under the Primary Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement related to the Purchased Assets. As such, Seller expressly acknowledges that the Purchased Assets are sold to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis
with such servicing retained by the Servicer. 
 ARTICLE 30. 

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 Transaction 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. 
 (c) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience
of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents. 
 (d) Without limiting the rights
and remedies of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and
expenses of accountants, attorneys and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, consummation and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Transaction Documents and the
Transactions thereunder, whether or not such Transaction Document (or amendment thereto) or Transaction is ultimately consummated. Seller agrees to pay Buyer promptly on demand (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after such a
demand) all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) 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 any of the Purchased Items and for the custody, care or preservation of the Purchased Items (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, without limitation, reasonable
expenses for legal services of every kind) incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Depository Account and registering the Purchased Items in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to
Buyer under this Agreement. 
 (e) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of such rights, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates, a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, upon any and all monies, securities,
collateral or other property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Buyer or its Affiliates and its respective successors and assigns (including, without
limitation, branches 

  
 72 













 
and agencies of Buyer, wherever located), for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general
or specified) and credits of Seller at any time existing. Buyer and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, any such
notice being expressly waived, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents,
irrespective of whether Buyer or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. Seller shall be deemed
directly indebted to Buyer and its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and its Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for
above. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL OR PURCHASED ITEMS THAT SECURE THE AMOUNTS OWING TO BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES BY SELLER UNDER THE TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF OFFSET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MONIES, SECURITIES, COLLATERAL, DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF SELLER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER. 

(f) Intentionally Omitted. 
 (g)
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. 

(h) This Agreement 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. 

(i) 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. 

(j) 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. 
 (k) Wherever pursuant to this
Agreement, Buyer exercises any right given to it to consent or not consent, or to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to, Buyer in its sole discretion, Buyer shall decide to consent or not consent, or to approve
or disapprove or to decide that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, in its sole discretion and such decision by Buyer shall be final and conclusive. 

(l) All information regarding the terms set forth in any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions shall be kept confidential and shall
not be disclosed by either party hereto to any Person except (a) to the Affiliates of such party or its or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other representatives who are informed of
the confidential nature of 

  
 73 













 
such information and instructed to keep it confidential, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, stock exchange, government department or agency, or required by Requirements
of Law, (c) to the extent required to be included in the financial statements of either party or an Affiliate thereof, (d) to the extent required to exercise any rights or remedies under the Transaction Documents, Purchased Assets or
Underlying Mortgaged Properties, (e) to the extent required to consummate and administer a Transaction, (f) in the event any party is legally compelled to make pursuant to deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar process by court order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (g) to any actual or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with this Article 30(l); provided, that, except with respect to the
disclosures by Buyer under this Article 30(l) no such disclosure made with respect to any Transaction Document shall include a copy of such Transaction Document to the extent that a summary would suffice, but if it is necessary for a
copy of any Transaction Document to be disclosed, all pricing and other economic terms set forth therein shall be redacted before disclosure.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

REGARDING THE PURCHASED ASSETS 

With respect to each Purchased Asset and the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or Underlying Mortgaged Properties, on the related Purchase Date and at all
times while this Agreement and any Transaction contemplated hereunder is in effect, Seller shall be deemed to make the following representations and warranties to Buyer as of such date; provided, however, that, with respect to any
Purchased Asset, such representations and warranties shall be deemed to be modified by any Exception Report delivered by Seller to Buyer prior to the issuance of a Confirmation with respect thereto. 

 

	(1)	 Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Assets. Each Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset. At the time of the
sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each 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. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each 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. 



 

	(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 and any applicable state anti-deficiency, one-action or market value limit
deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (b) that certain provisions in such
Purchased Asset Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance or prepayment 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 (a) 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 (a) and (b) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related borrower 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 Seller 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. 


  

	(3)	 Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain provisions that
render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Underlying 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)	 Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset that is secured by a
hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee
of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Asset secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the
appropriate filing office. 


  

	(5)	 Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set
forth in the related Purchased Asset File or as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Asset Documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, guaranty, participation agreement, if applicable, and related Purchased Asset
Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect that could have a material adverse effect on Purchased Asset; (b) no related Underlying Mortgaged Property or any portion
thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Underlying Mortgaged
Property; and (c) neither the related borrower nor the related guarantor nor the related participating Person has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Asset Documents. With respect to each Purchased Asset, except as
contained in a written document included in the Purchased Asset File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Asset consented to by Seller.



  

	(6)	 Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and
assignment of Assignment of Leases to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment to Buyer. 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Asset or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances,
except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Underlying Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances) is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded
materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over,
escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Purchased Asset establishes and creates a
valid and enforceable lien on property described therein, except as such enforcement may be limited by Standard Qualifications subject to the limitations described in Paragraph (9) 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 UCC financing statements is required in order to
effect such perfection. 


  

	(7)	 Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset is
covered by a 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 Permitted Encumbrances. 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Underlying Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may
exist), (a) that the area shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Underlying Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.


  

	(8)	 Junior Liens. There are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money
encumbering the related Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor. 



 

	(9)	 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, each related Assignment of Leases 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. No Person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is
superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, 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. 



 

	(10)	 UCC Filings. Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed
and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC-1 financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination
of the Purchased Asset to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Underlying Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Underlying Mortgaged
Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the
related Purchased Asset Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard
Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the 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-1 financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property and each UCC-2 or UCC-3 assignment, if any, of such financing statement to Seller was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. 















	(11)	 Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Asset inspected or caused to be
inspected each related Underlying Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Purchased Asset and within twelve months of the Purchased Date. An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the
origination of each Purchased Asset no more than twelve months prior to the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, each
related Underlying Mortgaged Property was (a) free and clear of any material damage, (b) in good repair and condition and (c) is free of structural defects, except in each case (i) for any damage or deficiencies that would not
materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Asset, (ii) if such repairs have been completed or (iii) if escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the
standards utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans its holds for its own account have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. Seller has no knowledge of
any material issues with the physical condition of the Underlying Mortgaged Property that Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the
engineering report and those addressed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. 


  

	(12)	 Taxes and Assessments. All real estate taxes, governmental assessments and other similar outstanding
governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and
that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, an escrow of funds
has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this Paragraph (12), 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. 


  

	(13)	 Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date,
there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Purchased Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property that would
have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. 


  

	(14)	 Actions Concerning Purchased Asset. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of
the Purchase Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or the Underlying Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably
be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related
Purchased Asset Documents, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the use, operation or value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be
provided by the Purchased Asset Documents, (g) the current ability of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Purchased Asset or (h) the current principal use of the Underlying Mortgaged
Property. 















	(15)	 Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to the
Purchased Asset Documents 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. Any and all requirements under the Purchased Asset Documents as to completion of any
material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before the Purchase Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have
not been released. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchased Asset Documents. 


  

	(16)	 No Holdbacks. The principal balance of the Purchased Asset set forth on the Purchased Asset Schedule has
been fully disbursed, except for any future funding per the Purchased Asset Documents, as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or
other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursements of any such escrow fund made on or prior
to the date hereof. 


  

	(17)	 Insurance. Each related Underlying 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-:VII” from A.M.
Best Company, Inc., (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or (iii) at least “A-” from Standard & Poor’s (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 Purchased Asset 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 Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property. 



Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Loan Documents, by business
interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Asset on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18
months); (ii) for a Purchased Asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, contains a 180 day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration. 

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Underlying 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, plus such additional
excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization. 












 If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded
from the primary property damage insurance policy, the Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm
and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements and personalty and fixtures included in the related Underlying Mortgaged Property by
an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirement. 
 The Underlying 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 a prudent institutional commercial mortgage lender for loans originated for securitization, 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 (the “SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (the “PML”) for the
Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer
rated at least “A:VII” by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s in an amount not less than 150% 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Asset, the lender (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 reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset together with any accrued interest thereon. 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this Paragraph (17) required to be paid as of the Purchase Date have been
paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Asset 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 Purchased Asset obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such
insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums and other related expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies)
require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender 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. 













	(18)	 Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or
adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include
any property which is not part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property is
a part until the separate tax lots are created or the non-recourse carveout guarantor under the Purchased Asset Documents has indemnified the mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith.



  

	(19)	 No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with
origination (which may have been a previously existing “as built” survey) and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a
“marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Asset, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property at
the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset are within the boundaries of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Underlying Mortgaged
Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Underlying Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect
the value or current use of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No material 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements have been obtained under the Title Policy. 



 

	(20)	 No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Asset has a shared appreciation feature,
any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an anticipated repayment date loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the anticipated Repayment Date)
or an equity participation by Seller. 


  

	(21)	 REMIC. The Purchased Asset is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and,
accordingly, (a) the issue price of the Purchased Asset to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Purchased Asset and (b) either: (i) such
Purchased Asset is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (A) at the date the Purchased Asset was originated at least equal to
80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date or (B) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Asset on such date, provided that, for purposes hereof, the fair
















	 	
market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Asset and (2) a
proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Purchased Asset; or (ii) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Asset were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such
Purchased Asset (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Purchased Asset was
“significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (i) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased
Asset or (ii) satisfies the provisions of either clause (b)(i)(A) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Asset was originated) or clause (b)(i)(B), including the proviso thereto. Any
prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Purchased Asset constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2).
All terms used in this Paragraph (21) shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations. 

  

	(22)	 Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield
maintenance charges, exit fees, 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.



  

	(23)	 Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase Date and as
of each 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized
does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Asset by Buyer. 


  

	(24)	 Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or related security for such
Purchased Asset, and except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid. 



 

	(25)	 Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental
authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller
for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Underlying Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Asset, there
are no material violations of applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, building codes, restrictions and land laws (collectively, “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure, as to which the Underlying 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 Underlying 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 prudent commercial 















	 	
mortgage lenders for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would not
have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Asset. The terms of the Purchased Asset Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws. 


 

	(26)	 Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents that it shall keep all
material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based
upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans
intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Asset Documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the
related Underlying Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Underlying Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws. 



 

	(27)	 Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset provide that such Purchased
Asset is non-recourse to the related parties thereto except that: (a) the related Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be
affiliated with Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Underlying Mortgaged property that are not de minimis) shall be fully liable for losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related
Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents, which acts generally include the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misappropriation of rents (following an event
of default), insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, (iv) intentional misconduct and (v) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the
related Loan Documents, and (b) the Purchased Asset shall become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and a guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with Mortgagor) that
has assets other than equity in the related Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), upon any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal
bankruptcy law, or nay similar federal or state law, shall be filed, consented to, or acquiesced in by the Mortgagor, (ii) Mortgagor and/or its principals shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with
respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) upon the transfer of either the Underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents. 



 

	(28)	 Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Asset Documents do not provide
for release of any material portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i)
115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Asset, (c) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Underlying Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and which were not
afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Asset and are not necessary for physical access to the Underlying Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (d) as required pursuant
to an 















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


In the event of a taking of any portion of a Underlying 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, awards are not required
to be applied to the restoration of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or to be released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Underlying 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Purchased Asset. 

No such Purchased Asset that is secured by more than one Underlying Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Purchased
Asset permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions. 
  

	(29)	 Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset require the
Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) 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. 


  

	(30)	 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 (collectively, the “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) does not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each 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 the 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 the 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 the origination of the Purchased Asset, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such
amount. 

  

	(31)	 Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each 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 holder of the Mortgage (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 and multifamily mortgage
lending institutions on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying 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 Underlying 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 that do not result in a change of Control of the related Mortgagor or transfers of passive interests so long as the guarantor retains Control, (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 or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of Paragraph (28) herein, or (vii) to the extent set forth in
any Exception Report, by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Asset, or future permitted mezzanine debt in each case as set forth in any Exception Report or (b) the related Underlying Mortgaged
Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, other than any Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents provide that to the extent any rating
agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer
or encumbrance. For purposes of the foregoing representation, “Control” means the power to direct the management and policies of an entity, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other beneficial
interests, by contract or otherwise. 


  

	(32)	 Single-Purpose Entity. Each Purchased Asset requires the borrower to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at
least as long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Asset with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $5 million or more
provide that the borrower is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Asset with a principal amount on the Purchase Date of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation
of the Mortgagor. For 















	 	
purposes of this Paragraph (32), a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property
or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Asset Documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and
operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Asset Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and
apart from those of any other person, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. 

  

	(33)	 Intentionally Omitted. 



 

	(34)	 Ground Leases. For purposes of this Exhibit III, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a
lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such
lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar
leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit. 


 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 Underlying 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)	 (i) 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 the applicable jurisdiction; (ii) 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 and does not restrict the use of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage and (iii) no material
change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instrument which are included in the related Purchased Asset File; 



 

	 	(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, without the prior written consent of the lender (except termination or cancellation if (i) notice of a default under the Ground Lease is
provided to lender and (ii) such default is curable by lender as provided in the Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period), 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 20 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 Underlying 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)	 Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground
Lease and, 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; 


  

	 	(g)	 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; 



 

	 	(h)	 a lender 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;



  

	 	(i)	 the Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially
unreasonable by a prudent commercial mortgage lender; 


  

	 	(j)	 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 Paragraph (34)(k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Underlying 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; 


  

	 	(k)	 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 Underlying 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 

  

	 	(l)	 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 the lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. 



 

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


  

	(36)	 Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller
was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Asset have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased Asset and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt
from, all requirements of federal, state or local laws and regulations relating to the origination of such Purchased Asset. At the time of origination of such Purchased Asset, the origination, due diligence and underwriting performed by or on behalf
of Seller in connection with each Purchased Asset complied in all material respects with the terms, conditions and requirements of Seller’s origination, due diligence, underwriting procedures, guidelines and standards for similar commercial and
multifamily loans. 


  

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


  

	(38)	 No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Asset has been more than 30 days delinquent, without
giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Purchased Date, no Purchased Asset is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To Seller’s
knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Asset Documents, 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 (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Asset, or the value, use or operation of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, provided, however,
that this Paragraph (38) 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 any
Exception Report. No person other than the holder of such Purchased Asset may declare any event of default under the Purchased Asset or accelerate any indebtedness under the Purchased Asset Documents. 















	(39)	 Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset and to Seller’s knowledge
as of the Purchase Date, neither the Underlying Mortgaged Property nor any portion thereof is the subject of, and no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding. 


  

	(40)	 Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Purchased Asset, in reliance on certified copies of the
organizational documents of the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset, the 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. No Purchased Asset has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another borrower. 


 Seller
has obtained an organizational chart or other description of each Mortgagor which identifies all beneficial controlling owners of the Mortgagor (i.e., managing members, general partners or similar controlling person for such Mortgagor) (the
“Controlling Owner”) and all owners that hold a 20% or greater direct ownership share (the “Major Sponsors”). Seller (a) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or
performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions,
and (b) performed or caused to be performed searches of the public records or services such as Lexis/Nexis, or a similar service designed to elicit information about each Controlling Owner, Major Sponsor and guarantor regarding such Controlling
Owner’s, Major Sponsor’s or guarantor’s prior history regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that manual public records searches were limited to the last 10 years
(clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Sponsor Diligence”). Based solely on the Sponsor Diligence, to the knowledge of Seller, no Major Sponsor or guarantor (i) was in a state or federal bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, (ii) had a prior record of having been in a state of federal bankruptcy or insolvency, or (iii) had been convicted of a felony. 
  

	(41)	 Environmental Conditions. At origination, each Mortgagor represented and warranted that to its knowledge
no hazardous materials or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws are located on, or have been handled, manufactured, generated, stored, processed, or disposed of on or released or discharged
from the Underlying Mortgaged Property, except for those substances commonly used in the operation and maintenance of properties of kind and nature similar to those of the Underlying Mortgaged Property in compliance with all Environmental Laws and
in a manner that does not result in contamination of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or in a material adverse effect on the value, use or operations of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. 



A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain
Purchased Assets, a Phase II environmental site assessment (collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Asset within 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 (the “Environmental Conditions”) at the related Underlying 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 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 date hereof, 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
Underlying 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,
Standard & Poor’s and/or Fitch, Inc.; (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. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in
the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Underlying Mortgaged Property. 

In the case of each Purchased Asset with respect to which there is an environmental insurance policy (the “Environmental Insurance
Policy”), (i) such Environmental Insurance has been issued by the issuer set forth in the related Exception Report (the “Policy Issuer”) and is effective as of the Purchase Date, (ii) as of origination and to
Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and Seller is a named insured under such policy, (iii) (A) a property condition or engineering report was
prepared, if the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) and, if the related Underlying Mortgaged Property is a multifamily property, with respect to
radon gas (“RG”) and lead-based paint (“LBP”), and (B) if such report disclosed the existence of a material and adverse LBP, ACM or RG environmental condition or circumstance affecting the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (1) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Purchased Asset or provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient
by Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (2) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Purchased Asset that should reasonably be expected to mitigate the
environmental risk related to the identified LBP, ACM or RG condition, (iv) on the effective date of the Environmental Insurance Policy, Seller as originator had no knowledge of any material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance
affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property (other than the existence of LBP, ACM or RG) that was not disclosed to the Policy Issuer in one or more of the following: (A) the application for insurance, (B) a Mortgagor questionnaire that was
provided to the Policy Issuer, or (C) an engineering or other report provided to the Policy Issuer, and (v) the premium of any Environmental Insurance Policy has been paid through the maturity of the policy’s term and the term of such
policy extends at least five years beyond the maturity of the Purchased Asset. 













	(42)	 Lease Estoppels. With respect to each Purchased Asset secured by retail, office or industrial
properties, Seller requested the related Mortgagor to obtain estoppels from each commercial tenant with respect to the rent roll delivered as of the origination date. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail, office or
industrial property leased to a single tenant, Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the origination date of the related Purchased Asset, and to Seller’s knowledge, (i) the related lease
is in full force and effect and (ii) there exists no default under such lease, either by the lessee thereunder or by the lessor subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area
maintenance (“CAM”) and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. With respect to each Purchased Asset predominantly secured by a retail,
office or industrial property, Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Purchased Asset that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base
rent for the Underlying Mortgaged Property that secure a Purchased Asset that is represented as of the origination date. To Seller’s knowledge, (i) each lease represented on the rent roll delivered as of the origination date is in full
force and effect and (ii) there exists no material default under any such related lease that represents 20% or more of the in-place base rent for the Underlying Mortgaged Property either by the lessee
thereunder or by the related Mortgagor, subject, in each case, to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to CAM and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with
co-tenancy provisions. 


  

	(43)	 Appraisal. The Purchased Asset File contains an appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property
with an appraisal date within six months of the Purchased Asset origination date, and within 12 months of the Purchase Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser who is a Member of the Appraisal Institute. 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 and has certified
that such appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the borrower or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Asset.



  

	(44)	 Purchased Asset Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Asset which is set forth in the
Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchased Date and contains all information required by the Repurchase Agreement to be contained therein. 



 

	(45)	 Cross-Collateralization. No Purchased Asset is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other
mortgage loan. 


  

	(46)	 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 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 date hereof.



  

	(47)	 Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material respects with the

	 	(c)	 The Bailee shall issue and deliver to Buyer and
[                    ] (the “Custodian”) on or prior to the Funding Date by electronic mail (a) in the name of Buyer, an

costs, expenses or disbursements (other than special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, which shall in no event be paid by the Bailee) were imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Bailee because of the breach by the Bailee of its
obligations hereunder, which breach was caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Bailee or any of its partners, directors, officers, agents or employees. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any resignation or
removal of the Bailee or the termination or assignment of this Bailee Letter.
