“Permitted REO Subsidiaries” means any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Borrower permitted under Section 4.01(n).

“Permitted REO Sub Guaranty Agreement” means any Guaranty by a Permitted REO Subsidiary in favor of the Secured Parties, in form and substance substantially similar to the Guaranty, dated as of May 25, 2021, by Exantas Phili Holdings, LLC in favor of the Secured Parties.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf shall cause the Collateral Portfolio to be serviced by Underlying Servicers such that there will be no more than ten deposits of Collections to the Collection Account between Payment Dates.  Without limiting the Borrower’s and the Portfolio Asset Servicer’s obligations in the preceding sentence, if either (i) the Borrower or the Portfolio Asset Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf anticipate that more than ten deposits will be made to the Collection Account between Payment Dates or (ii) more than ten deposits are made to the Collection Account between any Payment Dates, then the Borrower shall open a deposit account (the “Excess Collections Account”) with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Facility Servicer.  The Administrative Agent shall have a perfected first priority Lien on the Excess Collections Account pursuant to an account control agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Servicer.  If the Borrower has opened the Excess Collections Account as required pursuant to this Section 2.07(f), then the Borrower and the Portfolio Asset Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf shall thereafter cause deposits of Collections in excess of ten between Payment Dates to be made to the Excess Collections Account and the account control agreement governing the Excess Collections Account shall require that all amounts on deposit therein shall be swept to the Collection Account on each Reporting Date.
