 28

all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); 

(H) subject to Buyer’s right to perform one or more due diligence reviews pursuant to Article 26, Buyer

named in the related Servicing Agreement; 
 (J) Seller, regardless of whether this Agreement is executed, shall
have paid to Buyer all legal fees and expenses of outside counsel actually incurred by Buyer in connection with the entering into of any Transaction, including, without limitation, costs associated with due diligence, recording or other
administrative expenses necessary or incidental to the execution of any Transaction hereunder, which amounts, at Buyer’s option, may be withheld from the sale proceeds of any Transaction hereunder;

 30

Transactions; 
 (O) the Repurchase Date for such Transaction is not later than the Maturity Date; 

(P) Seller shall have taken such other action as Buyer shall have reasonably requested in order to transfer the Purchased

 (U) the counterparty to Seller in any Hedging Transaction shall be an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and, in the case of a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, in the event that
such counterparty no longer qualifies as a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, then, at the election of Buyer, Seller shall ensure that such counterparty posts additional collateral in an amount satisfactory to Buyer under all its Hedging Transactions
with Seller, or Seller shall immediately terminate the Hedging Transactions with such counterparty and enter into new Hedging Transactions with a Qualified Hedge Counterparty. 
 (c) Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Articles 3(a) and (b), Seller shall sell, transfer, convey and assign to Buyer on a
servicing-released basis all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Asset, together with all related Servicing Rights against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of
Seller. With respect to any 

  
 31 









 
Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on the
Pricing Rate Determination Date for each of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Periods for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Agreement the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for
the related Pricing Rate Period in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, and notify Seller in writing two (2) Business Days prior to the next Pricing Rate Period of such Pricing Rate for such period. Notwithstanding any other provision
herein or in any other Transaction Document, Buyer shall not be obligated to enter into any Transaction or purchase any Asset and may terminate a Transaction at any time for any or no reason until such time as Buyer has executed and delivered a
Confirmation and funded the Purchase Price with respect to any Transaction. 
 (d) Each Confirmation, together with this
Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered thereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, other than with respect to the Advance Rate or the
applicable Price Differential set forth in the related Confirmation, the Confirmation shall prevail. 
 (e) On the Repurchase
Date (including any Early Repurchase Date) for any Transaction, termination of the Transaction will be effected by (A) payment by Seller to Buyer of an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Asset
and (2) any other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(g)), any other Transaction Documents, and any related Hedging Transactions with respect to such Purchased Asset and
(B) transfer to Seller of the Purchased Asset being repurchased and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Article 5 of
this Agreement). In the event that a Purchased Asset is repurchased as of the date set forth in clause (vi) of the definition of Repurchase Date, the settlement of the payment of the Repurchase Price and other amounts due in connection with the
repurchase of such Purchased Asset pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall occur no later than two (2) Business Days after such Repurchase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, until such settlement occurs and such amounts are paid, all
rights of Buyer with respect to the applicable Purchased Asset, including all liens and security interests granted in favor of Buyer in connection therewith, shall continue in full force and effect. 

(f) Seller shall be entitled to terminate a Transaction on demand and repurchase the Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction (an
“Early Repurchase”) on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that: 

(i) Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased Asset,
setting forth the Early Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the Purchased Asset to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date (unless such Early
Repurchase is in connection with curing a Margin Deficit or breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Exhibit VI, or in connection with any of the events described in Article 3(h) having occurred, in which case
such notice shall not be required); 

  
 32 









 (ii) on such Early Repurchase Date, Seller pays to Buyer an amount equal to
the sum of (A) the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Asset and (B) any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article 3(g)) and under any related Hedging Transactions with
respect to such Purchased Asset against transfer to Seller or its agent of such Purchased Assets; 
 (iii) on
such Early Repurchase Date, in addition to the amounts set forth in subclause (ii) above, Seller pays to Buyer, on account of all other Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions, an amount sufficient to reduce the Purchase Price for each
such Purchased Asset to an amount equal to the Buyer’s Margin Amount for each such Purchased Asset; and 

(iv) such Early Repurchase does not cause Seller to violate the covenant set forth in Article 10(k) hereof.

 (g) If prior to the first day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have
determined in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR for such Pricing Rate Period, 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, Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and for any
subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Spread (the “Alternative Rate”). 

(h) 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 (a “Change in Law”) 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,
Future Funding Transactions or Additional Purchase Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) if a Change in Law makes it unlawful to maintain Transactions with a Pricing Rate based on LIBOR, the
Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion of a Transaction
occurs on a day 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 3(i) of this Agreement. 

(i) Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss, cost or
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in repurchasing any Purchased Asset after Seller has given
written notice in accordance with Article 3(f) of an Early Repurchase, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any day other than a Remittance Date, including Breakage Costs, (iii) a


  
 33 









 
default by Seller in selling Eligible Assets after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed in writing to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (iv) Buyer’s enforcement of the terms of any of the Transaction Documents, (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue any Lien created under any Transaction Documents, and/or (vi) Buyer entering
into any Transaction or any of the Transaction Documents or owning any Purchased Item. A certificate as to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall be submitted promptly in writing by Buyer to Seller
and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein. 
 (j) 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 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; 
 (ii) shall impose,
modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of Buyer 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 to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions, Additional Purchase
Transactions or Future Funding 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. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets. 

(k) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy made
subsequent to the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or otherwise affecting the Buyer Funding Costs, or in the interpretation of any such Requirement of Law or Buyer Compliance Policy, the application thereof or the compliance therewith, in each
case whether by a Governmental Authority, by Buyer or by any corporation controlling Buyer (including, without limitation, any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or otherwise affecting the Buyer Funding Costs (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority or any Buyer Compliance Policy related to such request or directive), does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of
any one or more of the Transactions, Additional Purchase Transactions or Future Funding Transactions or otherwise as a consequence of its 

  
 34 









 
obligations under the Transaction Documents to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved, but for such adoption, change, interpretation, application or compliance, by
an amount that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, 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 reimburse Buyer for the actual damages, losses, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with each such reduction; provided that Buyer has then-currently made the same determination with respect to a similarly situated
repurchase customer in a situation where Buyer has similar contractual rights. 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. 
 (l) 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 written 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 3(l)
shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repurchase of all Purchased Assets subject to Transactions hereunder. 
 (m)
(i) Notwithstanding the definition of Maturity Date herein, upon written request of Seller prior to the then-current Maturity Date, provided that all of the extension conditions listed in clause (ii) below (collectively, the
“Maturity Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, Seller may request an extension of the Maturity Date for a period of up to three hundred sixty-four (364) additional days by giving notice to Buyer of such
extension; provided, however, that in no event shall the Maturity Date be extended to a date that is later than the Final Maturity Date. 
 (ii) For purposes of this Article 3(m), the Maturity Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied if: 

(A) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than forty-five (45) days prior, and no more than one
hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the originally scheduled Maturity Date, of Seller’ desire to extend the Maturity Date; and if Seller fails to give such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Maturity Date;

 (B) no Force Majeure Event shall have occurred and be continuing, no Margin Deficit shall exist, and no
Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date notice is given under subclause (ii) above or as of the originally scheduled Maturity Date and no “Termination Event,” “Event
of Default” or “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event by Seller, however denominated, shall have occurred and be continuing under any Hedging Transaction; and 

(C) all representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement other than the Mark-to-Market Representations
shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the existing Maturity Date, except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report previously accepted by Buyer. 

  
 35 









 (iii) Notwithstanding any extension to the Maturity Date as described in
this Article 3, an extension of the Maturity Date shall not extend any particular Transaction’s Repurchase Date unless the Repurchase Date for such a Transaction is specifically extended by agreement of Buyer and Seller in
accordance with Article 3(z), and Buyer and Seller execute a new Confirmation containing the same pricing terms as the original Confirmation and the extended Repurchase Date for the Transaction. 

(n) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be
made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent
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 to the applicable Buyer or Assignee 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 3(n) or Article 3(o)) the applicable Buyer or Assignee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(o) Seller shall timely pay (i) any Other Taxes imposed on Seller to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law, and (ii) any Other Taxes imposed on the Buyer or Assignee upon written notice from such Person setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such Other Taxes. 

(p) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to Article 3(o) or
Article 3(q), Seller shall deliver to Buyer or Assignee, as applicable, 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 Assignee, as applicable. 
 (q) Seller shall indemnify Buyer and
each Assignee, within ten (10) Business 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 Article 3(o) or this
Article 3(q)) payable or paid by Buyer or such Assignee or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable out-of-pocket 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; provided that no payment shall be required under this Article 3(q) for any claim for Indemnified Taxes that were paid by Buyer
or such Assignee two hundred and seventy (270) or more days prior to the date of such claim. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by Buyer or such
Assignee shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 36 









 (r) (i) Any Buyer and any 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 clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B), (ii)(D) and (iii) 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. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) Buyer and any Assignee 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 and such 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 Buyer 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN 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 XI-1 to the effect that such 

  
 37 









 
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 

(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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-2 or Exhibit XI-3, 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 XI-4 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 
 (D) if a payment made to Buyer or Assignee under any
Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Buyer or Assignee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), Buyer or such Assignee 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 such Assignee has complied with
Buyer’s or such Assignee’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement. 
 (iii) Buyer and each Assignee agrees that if any form or certification described in items (A),
(B), (C) or (D) above it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 38 









 (s) 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 Article 3(o) or, Article 3(q) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Article 3(i)), it shall pay to the indemnifying
party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under Article 3(i), Article 3(o) and/or Article 3(q) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable
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 3(s) (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 3(s), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this
Article 3(s) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This 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.

 (t) Each party’s obligations under clauses (n) through (s) of this Article 3 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. 

(u) If any Buyer or Assignee requests compensation under Article 3 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 3(i), Article 3(o) or Article 3(q), 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 17), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Articles 3(g) or 3(i)) and obligations under this Agreement 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, 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 3(i) 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. 

  
 39 









 (v) If at any time prior to the Maturity Date, a non-use fee or other similar charge is
assessed against Buyer internally, Seller shall, monthly on demand from Buyer, provided that Buyer has then-currently made the same determination with respect to a similarly situated repurchase customer in a situation where Buyer has similar
contractual rights, reimburse Buyer for the exact amount of each such fee, as and when originally assessed, with each such assessment and payment to be in addition to the monthly Price Differential payments otherwise due in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement. 
 (w) (i) If at any time prior to the Cash Sweep Tail Period, there exists Additional
Purchase Available Amount with respect to a Purchased Asset, Seller may submit to Buyer a request that Buyer increase the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset in an amount requested by Seller, which amount shall be no less than $250,000 and shall
not exceed the Additional Purchase Available Amount as of the proposed date for such increase to the Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset (each such transaction, an “Additional Purchase Transaction” and the amount so funded with
respect to each Additional Purchase Transaction, the “Additional Purchase Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may not request, and Buyer shall not be obligated to pay, any Additional Purchase Amount unless no
uncured Margin Deficit, Force Majeure Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Additional Purchase Transaction. Upon delivery of a request by Seller for an Additional Purchase
Transaction, and Buyer’s satisfaction that all terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3(w) have been complied with (including, without limitation, those in the immediately preceding sentence), Buyer shall, within one
(1) Business Day following Seller’s request therefore, pay the Additional Purchase Amount for each such Additional Purchase Transaction. In connection with any such Additional Purchase Transaction, Buyer and Seller shall execute and
deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction. Notwithstanding the above or any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent that the Purchase Price of any
Purchased Asset is reduced by Seller pursuant to Section 3(y) of this Agreement to an amount that is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset, the Additional Purchase Available Amount with
respect to such Purchased Asset shall thereafter (unless Buyer, in its sole discretion, determines not to apply the following reduction) be reduced by the amount equal to the difference between (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum
Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset and (ii) the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset following the application of such reduction to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3(y) which causes the Purchase Price to be less than fifty
percent (50%) of the Maximum Purchase Price. 
 (ii) Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Additional
Purchase Transaction with respect to any Purchased Asset is further subject to the satisfaction, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, of the following conditions precedent (the “Additional Purchase Transaction Conditions
Precedent”): 
 (A) Buyer shall have determined the Pricing Rate applicable to the related Transaction
(including the Applicable Spread) in accordance with Schedule I attached to the Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller; 

  
 40 









 (B) no uncured Margin Deficit, Force Majeure Event, Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the funding of such Additional Purchase Transaction;

(C) both immediately prior to the requested Additional Purchase Transaction and also after giving effect thereto and to
the intended use thereof, the representations and warranties made by Seller in each of Exhibit VI and Article 9, as applicable, shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the date of such Additional Purchase Transaction in
all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date) except to the extent disclosed in a
Requested Exceptions Report previously accepted by Buyer; and 
 (D) the sum of (A) the unpaid Repurchase
Price for all outstanding Transactions and (B) the requested Additional Purchase Amount, shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount as of such date. 
 (iii) In connection with any such Additional Purchase Transaction, Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price with
respect to such Transaction. 
 (iv) No decision on the part of Buyer to enter into an Additional Purchase
Transaction or the advance of any Additional Purchase Amount shall be deemed to be a waiver of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation of Seller contained herein. 

(x) (i) At any time prior to the expiration of the Funding Period, Seller may request a Future Funding Transaction by giving Buyer
written notice thereof together with a written Confirmation signed by an officer of Seller (a “Future Funding Confirmation”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Future Funding Date. Buyer shall be entitled to
make a determination, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, that, in the case of a Future Funding Transaction, it shall or shall not enter into the Future Funding Transaction, and notwithstanding any other provision herein, Buyer
shall have no obligation to enter into any Future Funding Transaction. If Buyer determines it will enter into a Future Funding Transaction and that the Future Funding Transaction Conditions Precedent have been satisfied with respect to the
applicable Future Funding Transaction in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a countersigned copy of the related Future Funding Confirmation on or before the Future Funding Date for the proposed Future Funding
Transaction. On the Future Funding Date for the applicable Future Funding Transaction, funds in the amount stated in the Future Funding Confirmation (the “Future Funding Amount”) shall be transferred by Buyer to the Purchased
Asset’s underlying obligor. Each Future Funding Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Future Funding Transaction covered thereby. If terms in a Future Funding Confirmation are inconsistent
with terms in this Agreement with respect to a particular Future Funding Transaction, the Future Funding Confirmation shall prevail. 

  
 41 









 (ii) While Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that it is not
intended that Buyer re-underwrite each Purchased Asset in connection with a Future Funding Transaction request, Seller shall provide Buyer with all confirmatory or updated documentation that is reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with
Buyer’s evaluation of the Future Funding Transaction for the related Purchased Asset as Buyer reasonably determines to be necessary and appropriate and Buyer shall conduct such additional diligence based on such information as Buyer determines
to be necessary or appropriate and Seller shall provide Buyer such additional information with respect to such due diligence as Buyer may reasonably request. 
 (iii) Buyer’s agreement to enter into any Future Funding Transaction with respect to any Purchased Asset is subject to the satisfaction, in Buyer’s reasonable discretion, of the following
conditions precedent (the “Future Funding Transaction Conditions Precedent”): 
 (A) the date of
the Future Funding Transaction is prior to the expiration of the Funding Period; 
 (B) if, in connection with
the entry into the initial Transaction relating to the Purchased Asset that is the subject of a Future Funding Transaction, Buyer and Seller agreed upon additional conditions precedent which are required to be satisfied with respect to such
Purchased Asset and that are specified in the related Future Funding Confirmation, then such additional conditions precedent have been satisfied; 
 (C) Buyer shall have (i) determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the related Purchased Asset is an Eligible Asset and (ii) determined conformity to the terms of the Transaction
Documents, Buyer’s internal credit and underwriting criteria, and (iii) obtained internal credit approval, to be granted or denied in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, for the Future Funding Transaction, without regard for any
prior credit decisions by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, and with the understanding that Buyer shall have the absolute right to change any or all of its internal underwriting criteria at any time, without notice of any kind to Seller; 

(D) Buyer shall have fully completed all external due diligence as discussed in clause (ii) above; 

(E) Buyer shall have determined the Pricing Rate applicable to the related Transaction (including the Applicable Spread)
in accordance with Schedule I attached to the Fee Letter (as adjusted by Buyer on a case by case basis in its sole discretion) hereto or as otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller; 

(F) no Material Adverse Effect or Force Majeure Event shall have occurred, no Margin Deficit shall exist, and no Default
or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 42 









 (G) both immediately prior to the requested Future Funding Transaction and
also after giving effect thereto and to the intended use thereof, the representations and warranties made by Seller in each of Exhibit VI and Article 9, as applicable, shall be true, correct and complete on and as of the date of
such Future Funding Transaction in all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

 (H) the LTV of the related Purchased Asset taking into account the requested advance of the Future Funding
Amount is no greater than the LTV of the related Purchased Asset as of the Purchase Date; 
 (I) following such
increase in the outstanding Purchase Price attributable to the Future Funding Amount (1) no Margin Deficit shall exist and (2) no breach of the Concentration Limit shall occur; 

(J) the Future Funding Amount shall be equal to or greater than $250,000; 

(K) the sum of (A) the unpaid Repurchase Price for all outstanding Transactions and (B) the requested Future
Funding Amount shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount as of such date; 
 (L) Seller shall have delivered
to Buyer a certification that all conditions precedent to the future funding obligation under the Purchased Asset documentation have been satisfied in all material respects and provided Buyer with any evidence or documentation thereto Buyer may
request; 
 (M) Seller shall have paid to Buyer all legal fees and expenses of outside counsel actually incurred
by Buyer in connection with the entering into of the Future Funding Transaction, including, without limitation, costs associated with due diligence, recording or other administrative expenses necessary or incidental to the execution of the Future
Funding Transaction, which amounts, at Buyer’s option, may be withheld from the sale proceeds of the Future Funding Transaction; 
 (N) on the date of the Future Funding Transaction Buyer shall have received, in the case of a “Table Funded” Transaction, a Bailee Letter and, from Custodian, an Asset Schedule and Exception
Report (as defined in the Custodial Agreement) and a Trust Receipt and with respect to each Purchased Asset, dated the Purchase Date, duly completed and with exceptions acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion in respect of Eligible Assets to be
purchased hereunder on such Business Day; 
 (O) Buyer shall have received from Seller a Release Letter covering
the related Purchased Asset; 

  
 43 









 (P) Buyer shall have reasonably determined that no introduction of, or a
change in, any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law applicable to Buyer has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into Future
Funding Transactions; 
 (Q) the Repurchase Date for the related Transaction is not later than the Initial
Maturity Date; 
 (R) Seller shall have taken such other action as Buyer shall have reasonably requested in order
to transfer the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and to perfect all security interests granted under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in favor of Buyer with respect to the Purchased Assets; 

(S) Buyer shall have received all such other and further documents, documentation and legal opinions (including, without
limitation, opinions regarding the perfection of Buyer’s security interests) as Buyer in its reasonable discretion shall reasonably require; 
 (T) Buyer shall have received a copy of any documents relating to any Hedging Transaction, and Seller shall have pledged and assigned to Buyer, pursuant to Article 6 hereunder, all of Seller’s
rights under each Hedging Transaction included within a Purchased Asset, if any; 
 (U) no “Termination
Event”, “Event of Default”, “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event by Seller, however defined therein, shall have occurred and be continuing under any Hedging Transaction required to be assigned hereunder;

 (V) the counterparty to Seller in any Hedging Transaction shall be an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or a
Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and, in the case of a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, in the event that such counterparty no longer qualifies as a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, then, at the election of Buyer, Seller shall ensure that such counterparty
posts additional collateral in an amount satisfactory to Buyer under all its Hedging Transactions with Seller, or Seller shall immediately terminate the Hedging Transactions with such counterparty and enter into new Hedging Transactions with a
Qualified Hedge Counterparty; and 
 (W) Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Future Funding Date the Purchased Asset
Fee attributable to the Future Funding Amount. 
 (iv) If Buyer determines, in accordance with
Section 3(x)(i) that the Future Funding Transaction Conditions Precedent have not been satisfied (or otherwise waived by Buyer in its sole discretion), and that Buyer shall not advance the Future Funding Advance requested by Seller,
then, on any Business Day thereafter, Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to repurchase the related Purchased Asset. 
 (v) No decision on the part of Buyer to enter into a Future Funding Transaction or the advance of any Future Funding Amount shall be deemed to be a waiver of any covenant, representation or warranty or
other obligation of Seller contained herein. 

  
 44 









 (y) On any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date, Seller shall have the right, from time
to time, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the outstanding Purchase Price of, but not terminating, a Transaction and without the release of any Purchased Items; provided, that (i) any such reduction in outstanding
Purchase Price occurring on a date other than a Remittance Date shall be required to be accompanied by payment of (A) all unpaid accrued Price Differential as of the applicable Business Day on the amount of such reduction and (B) any other
amounts due and payable by Seller under this Agreement and under any related Hedging Transactions with respect to such Purchased Asset, (ii) such transfer of cash to Buyer shall be in an amount no less than $1,000,000, and (iii) Seller
shall provide Buyer with three (3) Business Days prior notice with respect to a reduction in outstanding Purchase Price in an amount greater than $5,000,000 occurring on any date that is not a Remittance Date. In connection with any such
reduction of outstanding Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3(y), Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver to each other an updated Confirmation setting forth the new outstanding Purchase Price with respect to such Transaction.

 (z) If all of the extension conditions listed in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Article 3(z)
(collectively, the “Repurchase Date Extension Conditions”) shall have been satisfied, Seller may extend the Repurchase Date for a Transaction for a period of up to three hundred sixty-four (364) additional days by giving notice
to Buyer of such extension; provided that in no event shall the Repurchase Date for any Transaction be extended beyond the Final Maturity Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Repurchase Date Extension Conditions shall be deemed
to have been satisfied if: 
 (i) Buyer shall have received payment from Seller of the Purchased Asset Fee;

 (ii) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice, not less than thirty (30) days prior but no more than
ninety (90) days prior to the originally scheduled Repurchase Date, of Seller’s desire to extend the Repurchase Date; and if Seller fails to give such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to extend the Repurchase Date;

Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date notice is given under subclause (i) above or as of the originally scheduled Repurchase Date and no “Termination Event,” “Event
of Default” or “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event by Seller, however denominated, shall have occurred and be continuing under any Hedging Transaction required to be assigned hereunder; and 

(iv) all representations and warranties shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all material respects as of the
then-scheduled Repurchase Date, except to the extent disclosed in a Requested Exceptions Report previously accepted by Buyer. 

  
 45 









 ARTICLE 4. 
 MARGIN MAINTENANCE 
 (a) If at any time the Buyer’s Margin Amount for
all Purchased Assets is less than the aggregate Purchase Price outstanding for all Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by written notice (which may be in electronic form) delivered to Seller in the form of
Exhibit X (a “Margin Deficit Notice”) require Seller to, at Seller’s option, to the extent such Margin Deficit equals or exceeds the Minimum Transfer Amount, (i) repurchase some or all of the Purchased Assets
at their respective Repurchase Prices, (ii) make a payment in reduction of the Repurchase Price of some or all of the Purchased Assets in immediately available funds, (iii) deliver collateral in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, or
(iv) choose any combination of the foregoing, such that, after giving effect to such transfers, repurchases and payments, Buyer’s Margin Amount for all Purchased Assets shall be equal to or greater than the aggregate Repurchase Price for
all Purchased Assets. In connection with the delivery of cash or Cash Equivalents in accordance with clause (iii) above, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any additional documents (including, without limitation, to the extent not covered by
any previously delivered legal opinions, one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) and take any actions reasonably necessary in Buyer’s discretion for Buyer to have a first priority, perfected security interest in such
cash or Cash Equivalents, as applicable. 
 (b) If a Margin Deficit Notice is given by Buyer under Article 4(a) of this
Agreement on any Business Day at or prior to the Margin Notice Deadline, Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time no later than one (1) Business Day following the day such
Margin Deficit Notice is given by Buyer. If any Margin Deficit Notice is given by Buyer on any Business Day at any time after the Margin Notice Deadline, Seller shall cure the related Margin Deficit as provided in Article 4(a) by no later
than prior to 5:00 p.m. New York time no later than two (2) Business Days following the day such Margin Deficit Notice is given by Buyer. 
 (c) 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 PROCEEDS 
 (a) The Depository Account shall
be established at the Depository and shall be subject to the Depository Agreement concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller and Buyer. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall have sole dominion and control
(including “control” within the meaning of the UCC (as defined in Section 6(d) below)) over the Depository Account. The Depository Account shall at all times be subject to the Depository Agreement. All Income or other amounts in
respect of the Purchased Assets, as well as any interest received from the reinvestment of such Income or other amounts, shall be deposited directly by the applicable Mortgagor into the Depository Account in accordance with the Re-direction Letter.
Depository shall then apply such Income in accordance with the applicable provisions of Articles 5(c) through 5(e) of this Agreement. 

  
 46 









 (b) Contemporaneously with the sale to Buyer of any Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver to
each Mortgagor, issuer of a participation interest, servicer and paying agent with respect to each Purchased Asset or borrower under a Purchased Asset an irrevocable direction letter substantially in the form of Exhibit XVI (the
“Re-direction Letter”), instructing, as applicable, the Mortgagor, issuer of a participation interest, servicer or trustee with respect to such Purchased Asset or borrower (as applicable) to pay all amounts payable under the related
Purchased Asset into the Depository Account. If a Mortgagor, issuer of a participation interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower forwards any Income or other amounts with respect to a Purchased Asset to
Seller or any Affiliate of Seller rather than directly into the Depository Account, Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, (i) deliver an additional Re-direction Letter to the applicable Mortgagor, issuer of a participation interest,
servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower and make other reasonable best efforts to cause such Mortgagor, issuer of a participation interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Asset or borrower to
forward such amounts directly to the Depository Account and (ii) deposit in the Depository Account any such amounts within one (1) Business Day of Seller’s (or its Affiliate’s) receipt thereof. 

(c) So long as no Event of Default with respect to any Purchased Asset shall have occurred and be continuing, prior to the Cash Sweep
Tail Period, all Income or other amounts received by the Depository in respect of any Purchased Asset (other than Principal Proceeds) during each Collection Period shall be applied by the Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following
order of priority: 
 (i) first, (i) to the Custodian for payment of the document custodian fees
payable to Custodian pursuant to the Custodian Agreement, then (ii) to the Depository for payment of fees payable to the Depository in connection with the Depository Account and then (iii) to the Interim Servicer for payment of the loan
servicing fees payable monthly to the Interim Servicer pursuant plus the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in each case, as required under the Interim
Servicing Agreement as in effect from time to time; 
 (ii) second, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, an
amount equal to the Price Differential that has accreted and is outstanding as of such Remittance Date and (B) to any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, any amount then due and payable to an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty under any Hedging

pursuant to Article 5(e) below. 
 (d) So long as no Event of Default with respect to any Purchased Asset shall have

order of priority: 
 (i) first, pro rata, (A) to Buyer, until the Purchase Price for such

Article 5(e) below. 
 (e) At any time during the Cash Sweep Tail Period or if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, all Income (including, without limitation, any Principal Proceeds or any other amounts received, without regard to their source) or any other amounts received by the Depository in respect of a Purchased Asset shall be
applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Depository Account in the following order of priority:

under any Hedging Transaction related to such Purchased Asset; 
 (iii) third, to Buyer, on account of the
Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset until the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero; 
 (iv) fourth, to Buyer, on account of the Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets until the Repurchase Price for all such Purchased Assets has been reduced to zero; 

(v) fifth, to Buyer, an amount equal to any other amounts due and owing to Buyer or its Affiliates under any
Transaction Document; and 
 (vi) sixth, to Seller, any remainder. 

ARTICLE 6. 

SECURITY INTEREST 
 (a) Buyer and Seller intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Assets 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 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 Seller
or Seller’s Affiliates to Buyer and any of Buyer’s present or future Affiliates hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to Article 25, and under the other Transaction Documents, including any
obligations of Seller under any Hedging Transaction entered into with any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty (including, without limitation, all amounts anticipated to be paid to Buyer by an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty as provided for in the definition
of Repurchase Price or otherwise) and to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service the Purchased Assets in conformity with Article 27 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer (collectively, the “Repurchase
Obligations”). Seller agrees to mark its computer records and tapes to 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; 

  
 49 









 (ii) any and all interests of Seller in, to and under the Depository Account
and all monies from time to time on deposit in the Depository Account; 
 (iii) any cash or Cash Equivalents
delivered to Buyer in accordance with Article 4(a); 
 (iv) 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; 

(v) Seller’s right under each Hedging Transaction, if any, relating to the Purchased Assets to secure the Repurchase
Obligations; 
 (vi) 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; 

(vii) any other items, amounts, rights or properties transferred or pledged by Seller to Buyer under any of the
Transaction Documents; and 
 (viii) 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) Without limiting Article 6(a) hereto, to secure payment of the Repurchase Obligations owing to Buyer, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in the Purchased Items, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located. 
 (c) Buyer agrees to act as agent for and on
behalf of the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties with respect to the security interest granted hereby to secure the obligations owing to the Affiliated Hedge Counterparties under any Hedging Transactions, including, without limitation, with respect to
the Purchased Assets and the Purchased Asset Files held by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. 
 (d)
Buyer’s security interest in the Purchased Items shall terminate only upon termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, all Hedging Transactions and the documents delivered in connection
herewith and therewith. Upon such termination, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and 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 and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing,
(a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, as applicable, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and 

  
 50 









 
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 the filing thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably 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). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding clause (vi) of the definition of Repurchase Date and the proviso thereto, Buyer’s security interest in any
particular Purchased Asset shall not terminate until Seller has fully paid the related Repurchase Price. 
 (e) Seller
acknowledges that neither it nor Guarantor has any right to service the Purchased Assets but only has rights as a party to the Interim Servicing Agreement or any other servicing agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and in the event that Seller or Guarantor is deemed to retain any residual Servicing Rights, and for the avoidance of doubt, each of Seller and Guarantor grants, assigns and pledges to Buyer a security interest in the
Servicing Rights and proceeds related thereto and in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created. The foregoing provision is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other
credit enhancement related to the Agreement and Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(47)(v) and 741(7)(x)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 ARTICLE 7. 
 PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY 

(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Asset shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including
the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price in immediately available funds to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b) (i) With respect to each Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its designee the
Custodial Delivery Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit IV, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of Seller, Buyer in its sole but good faith discretion may elect to permit Seller to make such
delivery by not later than the third (3rd) Business
Day after the related Purchase Date, so long as Seller causes an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer to deliver to Buyer and the Custodian a Bailee Letter on or prior to such Purchase Date. Subject to
Article 7(c), in connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Asset, on or prior to each Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Asset, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to
the Custodian a copy or original of each document as specified in the Asset File (as defined in the Custodial Agreement, and collectively, the “Purchased Asset File”), pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the
Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered therewith, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole but good faith discretion. 

(ii) With respect to each Additional Purchase Transaction and Future Funding Transaction, Seller shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to Buyer or its designee an updated Custodial Delivery Certificate that includes any additional documents delivered and/or executed in connection with any such Additional Purchase Transaction or Future


  
 51 









 
Funding Transaction, as applicable, provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request of Seller, Buyer in its sole but good faith discretion may elect to permit Seller to make
such delivery by not later than the third
(3rd) Business Day after the related date of the
Additional Purchase Transaction or Future Funding Transaction, as applicable, so long as Seller causes an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer to deliver to Buyer and the Custodian a Bailee Letter on or prior to
such date. Subject to Article 7(c), on or prior to that date of a Additional Purchase Transaction or Future Funding Transaction, as applicable, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to the Custodian a copy or
original of each additional document delivered and/or executed in connection with each such Additional Purchase Transaction or Future Funding Transaction, as applicable, as specified in the Asset File (as defined in the Custodial Agreement),
pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered therewith, together with any other documentation in respect of such Purchased Asset requested by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole but good faith
discretion. 
 (c) From time to time, Seller shall forward to the Custodian additional original documents or additional
documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation in connection with an Additional Purchase Transaction or Future
Funding Transaction), and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian shall hold such other documents as Buyer shall request from time to time. With respect to any documents that have been delivered or are being delivered to recording
offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true copy thereof with an officer’s
certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian promptly when they are received. With respect to
all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit V attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its
attorney-in-fact with full power to (i) complete the endorsements of the Purchased Assets, including without limitation the Mortgage Notes, Assignments of
Mortgages, Mezzanine Notes, Participation Certificates and assignments of participation interests and any transfer documents related thereto, (ii) record the Assignments of Mortgages, (iii) prepare and file and record each Assignment of
Mortgage or other assignment, (iii) take any action (including exercising voting and/or consent rights) with respect to any participation interest, (iv) 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, (v) enforce
Seller’s rights under the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and (vi) to 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 to achieve the remedies and other provisions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Buyer agrees not to and shall not exercise its rights under such power of
attorney unless a monetary Default, material non-monetary Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, in the event that a material non-monetary Default has occurred and is
continuing, Buyer 

  
 52 









 
agrees it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller of any action described above and Seller shall promptly take such action. Buyer agrees not to exercise the rights described
above under such power of attorney for two (2) Business Days subsequent to such material non-monetary Default unless (x) Buyer reasonably believes that Buyer needs to take action sooner in order to protect its interest in the Purchased
Items or (y) a monetary Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If Seller fails to complete such action within such two (2) Business Day period, then Buyer shall, upon notice to Seller, be entitled to exercise its
rights under such power of attorney, provided that a failure to provide any notice or refrain from taking any action under this Article 7(c) shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights to exercise such rights or invalidate such action or in
any way create any liability whatsoever on the part of Buyer for exercising such rights. Buyer shall deposit the Purchased Asset Files representing the Purchased Assets, or direct that the Purchased Asset Files be deposited directly, with the
Custodian. 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. 
 (d) Subject to clause (e) below, Buyer hereby grants
to Seller a revocable option to direct Buyer with respect to the exercise of all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Purchased Assets and to vote, take corporate actions and exercise any rights in connection with the Purchased Assets, so
long as no monetary Default, material non-monetary Default, or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such revocable option is not evidence of any ownership or other interest or right of either Seller in any Purchased Asset. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of (i) a monetary Default, (ii) a material non-monetary Default, (iii) an Event of Default or (iv) with respect to the exercise of any voting or corporate rights with respect to the
Purchased Assets that could be reasonably determined to materially impair the Market Value, and in each case subject to the provisions of the Purchased Asset Documents, the revocable option discussed above shall be deemed to automatically terminate
and 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); provided further, that with respect to clause (iv) above, Buyer
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with Seller regarding the exercise of any such voting or corporate rights, provided that a failure by Buyer to consult with Seller under this Article 7(d) shall not limit or
waive Buyer’s rights to exercise such voting and corporate rights or invalidate such vote or exercise of rights or in any way create any liability whatsoever on the part of Buyer for exercising such rights. 

  
 53 









 (e) Notwithstanding the rights granted to Seller pursuant to clause (d) above,
Seller shall not, and shall not permit Interim Servicer, the primary servicer or any other servicer of any Purchased Asset to consent to any amendments, modifications, waivers, releases, sales, transfers, dispositions or other resolutions relating
to the Purchased Assets (including, with respect to a Purchased Asset that is a participation interest, relating to the Underlying Mortgage Loan) (except to the extent contemplated or required by the related Purchased Asset Documents) including,
without limitation, the following actions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) below, without the prior written consent of Buyer: 
 (i) any forbearance, extension or other modification or waiver with respect to any Purchased Asset; 
 (ii) the release, discharge or reduction of any: (A) lien on any Underlying Mortgaged Property or collateral for the related Purchased Asset or Purchased Item or (B) lien or claim on any letters
of credit and other non-cash collateral that is required to be maintained pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents or underlying mortgage loan documents, if any; 

(iii) the extension of credit (including increasing the terms of any existing credit) to any Person with respect to any
Purchased Asset or Underlying Mortgage Loan or Underlying Mortgaged Property; 
 (iv) any sale or other
disposition of any Purchased Asset, Underlying Mortgage Loan, Underlying Mortgaged Property or any other material property or collateral related thereto; and 
 (v) the incurrence of any lien or other encumbrance other than as expressly created hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. 

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7(b) above requiring the execution of the Custodial Delivery Certificate and
corresponding delivery of the Purchased Asset File to the Custodian on or prior to the related Purchase Date, with respect to each Transaction involving a Purchased Asset that is identified in the related Confirmation as a “Table Funded”
Transaction, Seller shall, in lieu of effectuating the delivery of all or a portion of the Purchased Asset File on or prior to the related Purchase Date, (i) deliver to the Custodian by facsimile or email on or before the related Purchase Date
for the Transaction copies of (A) the promissory note(s), original stock certificate or Participation Certificate in favor of Seller evidencing the making of the Purchased Asset, with Seller’s endorsement of such instrument to Buyer,
(B) the mortgage, security agreement or similar item creating the security interest in the related collateral and the applicable assignment document evidencing the transfer to Buyer, (C) such other components of the Purchased Asset File as
Buyer may require on a case by case basis with respect to the particular Transaction, and (D) evidence satisfactory to Buyer that all documents necessary to perfect Seller’s (and, by means of assignment to Buyer on the Purchase Date,
Buyer’s) interest in the Purchased Items for the Purchased Asset, (ii) deliver to Buyer and Custodian a Bailee Letter 

  
 54 









 
from an Acceptable Attorney, Title Company or other Person acceptable to Buyer on or prior to such Purchase Date and (iii) not later than the third (3rd) Business Day following the Purchase Date, deliver to Buyer the
Custodial Delivery Certificate and to the Custodian the entire Purchased Asset File. 
 ARTICLE 8. 

SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED ASSETS 

(h) 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. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Items or otherwise selling,
transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Items on terms and conditions that shall be in Buyer’s discretion, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased
Assets 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 17. 
 (i) 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. 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 (a) Each of Buyer and Seller represents
and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such
execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed
principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in
connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect, (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance

an Affiliate of Buyer in the case of Seller) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of Purchased Assets pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction for the
purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and any Transaction hereunder and covenants that at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing
representations made by it. 

  
 55 









 (b) In addition to the representations and warranties in subsection (a) above, Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement and will be deemed to represent and warrant to Buyer as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller and any Transaction thereunder and covenants
that at all times while this Agreement and any Transaction thereunder is in effect, unless otherwise stated herein: 
 (i) Organization. Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of Seller’s incorporation or organization, as the case may
be, and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Seller’s business, except where failure to so qualify could not be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Seller has the power to own and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, and to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed to be conducted, and has the power to execute, deliver, and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 
 (ii) Due Execution;
Enforceability. The Transaction Documents have been or will be duly executed and delivered by Seller, for good and valuable consideration. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable
against Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. 

(iii) Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents, nor consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Transaction Documents (or any of them) will
conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the organizational documents of Seller, (B) any contractual obligation to which Seller is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to
Seller or the obligations under which have been assumed by Seller or to which the assets of Seller are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of Seller, other
than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to Seller, or (D) any applicable Requirement of Law applicable to these Transactions, in the case of clauses
(B) or (C) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 

(iv) Litigation; Requirements of Law. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the Closing Date,
as of the date hereof and as of the Purchase Date for any Transaction hereunder, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller, the Guarantor or any of their
respective assets, nor is there any action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration pending or threatened against Seller or the Guarantor that is reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect. Seller is in compliance in all
material respects with all Requirements of Law. Neither Seller nor the Guarantor is in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.


  
 56 









 (v) Good Title to Purchased Assets and Other Collateral. Immediately
prior to the purchase of any Purchased Assets by Buyer from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, 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 owner of such Purchased Assets free of any adverse claim subject to the rights of Seller and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in each case except for
(1) Liens to be released simultaneously with the sale to Buyer hereunder and (2) Liens granted by Seller in favor of the counterparty to any Hedging Transaction, solely to the extent such liens are expressly subordinate to the rights and
interests of Buyer hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, 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 Items
and Buyer shall have a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Purchased Items free of any adverse claim subject to the rights of Seller and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without
limitation on the foregoing, Buyer, as entitlement holder, shall have a “security entitlement” to the Purchased Assets). 
 (vi) No Adverse Effect; No Default or Event of Default. As of the related Purchase Date and the date of each Future Funding Transaction and Additional Purchase Transaction, Seller has no Knowledge
of any facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any Purchased Asset or Underlying Mortgaged Property. No Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists under or with respect to the Transaction
Documents. 
 (vii) Authorized Representatives. The duly authorized representatives of Seller are listed
on, and true signatures of such authorized representatives are set forth on, Exhibit II attached to this Agreement. 
 (viii) Representations and Warranties Regarding Purchased Assets; Delivery of Purchased Asset File. 
 (A) As of the date hereof, Seller has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or encumbered any Purchased Items to any other Person, and immediately prior to the sale of, and/or grant of a security
interest in, the Purchased Items to, or in favor of, Buyer. 
 (B) The provisions of this Agreement and the
related Confirmation are effective to either constitute a sale of Purchased Items to Buyer or 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. 

  
 57 









 (C) Upon receipt by the Custodian of each Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note or
Participation Certificate, endorsed in blank by a duly authorized officer of Seller, either a purchase shall have been completed by Buyer of such Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note or Participation Certificate, as applicable, or Buyer shall have a valid
and fully perfected first priority security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in the Purchased Items described therein. 
 (D) Each of the representations and warranties made in respect of the Purchased Assets pursuant to Exhibit VI are true, complete and correct, except to the extent disclosed in a Requested
Exceptions Report previously accepted by Buyer. 
 (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 filing office listed on Exhibit XII 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.

 (F) Upon execution and delivery of the Depository Agreement, 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. 
 (G) Upon execution and delivery of the Depository Agreement, Buyer shall either be the owner of, or have a valid and fully perfected first priority security interest in, the “investment
property” and all “deposit accounts” (each as defined in the UCC) comprising Purchased Items or any after-acquired property related to such Purchased Items. 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. 

(ix) Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as of such 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. Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. Seller has not become,
or is not presently, financially insolvent nor will Seller be made insolvent by virtue of Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of any
jurisdiction. Seller has not entered into any Transaction Document or any Transaction pursuant thereto in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. 

(x) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by Seller, nor the consummation of any of the transactions by it herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms 

  
 58 









 
and provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will contravene or conflict with or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon
any of the property or assets of Seller pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be bound, or to which Seller may be subject, other than liens

the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby which has not already been obtained (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or made, as applicable, or that, if not obtained or made, are not reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect). 
 (xi) 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

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). 

(xii) Organizational Documents. Seller has delivered to Buyer certified copies of its organization documents,
together with all amendments thereto, if any. 
 (xiii) No Encumbrances. Except as contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, there are (A) no outstanding rights, options, warrants or agreements on the part of Seller for a purchase, sale or issuance, in connection with the Purchased Assets, (B) no agreements on the part of Seller to issue,

Effect. No Tax liens have been filed against any of Seller’s assets and, to Seller’s Knowledge, no claims are being asserted in writing with respect to any such Taxes (except for liens

Seller’s creditors. As of the Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof 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

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 material 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 which they were made when such

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,

 (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Seller hereby
appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of Seller for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or endorsing any
instruments that Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest. 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 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 12(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; and 

(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 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 Repurchase 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 12(b)(iii) of this Agreement); and

 (C) the Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates and other
documents then held by the Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets. 
 (iii) Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell on a servicing released basis, 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


  
 76 









 
Article 12(b)(iii) shall be applied, (v) first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; (w) second, to actual
out-of-pocket damages incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller’s default (including, but not limited to, costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if any), (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 (A) the
amount (including in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement) of all out of pocket losses, and 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 with respect to Seller and (B) all documented, actual costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the termination of Hedging Transactions in the event that Seller, from and after an Event of Default, takes any
action to impede or otherwise affect Buyer’s remedies under this Agreement. 
 (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 as in effect from time-to-time in 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. 
 (vii) Subject
to the applicable notice and cure periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default 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. 

  
 77 









 (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 nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are
responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 
 (c) If at any time Buyer determines
that (i) any Purchased Asset is not an Eligible Asset (other than as a result of a breach of a Mark-to-Market Representation, which shall in no event, in and of itself, cause an Early Repurchase but may be used in connection with the
determination of Market Value in accordance with this Agreement) or (ii) has been released from the possession of the Custodian for a period in excess of ten (10) calendar days, the related Transaction shall terminate and an Early
Repurchase Date shall be deemed to occur with respect to such Purchased Asset. No later than three (3) Business Days after receiving written notice from Buyer or Seller becoming otherwise aware that such Purchased Asset is not an Eligible
Asset, Seller shall repurchase the affected Purchased Asset and Seller shall pay the applicable Repurchase Price for such Purchased Asset to Buyer by depositing such amount in immediately available funds at the direction of Buyer. 

ARTICLE 13.

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.

OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS 

  
 78 









 
SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. 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.

this Article 15 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given. 
 ARTICLE
16. 
 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 17.

 (a) Subject to Article 17(b) below, Seller may not assign any of its respective rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) 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. Buyer may, without consent of Seller, sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“Participants”) (other than with respect to an assignment to a Prohibited


  
 79 









 
Transferee, which shall be subject to the prior written consent of Seller) 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, upon prior written notice to Seller, assign to any Person (other than Prohibited Transferees, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such limitation
shall not apply) (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, however, that in all such circumstances (for the avoidance of doubt, including participations) other than a sale, assignment, transfer or participation by Buyer of one hundred
percent (100%) of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (which sale, assignment, transfer or participation, if Buyer does not retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents,
shall be subject to the prior written consent of Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) Buyer shall retain control and authority over its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents and any Transaction,
subject to major decision approval rights, (ii) Seller shall not be obligated or required to deal directly or indirectly with any Person other than Buyer, and (iii) Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Buyer
or any other Person for any costs or expense relating to any such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. Each of Seller and Guarantor agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, 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 in order to give effect to such assignment, transfer or sale. Seller agrees that
each properly registered Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 3(h), Article 3(i), and Articles 3(n) through (s) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including, without
limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, the requirements under Article 3(o) or Article 3(p) (it being understood that the documentation required under Article 3(p) shall be delivered to the participating Buyer or
Assignee, as applicable)) to the same extent as if it were an Assignee and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Article 17(a); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Article 3 as if it were an Assignee under this Article 17(a), and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 3(o) or Article 3(q), with respect to any participation, than its
participating Buyer or Assignee, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof by a Governmental Authority, in any case which occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Buyer or Assignee that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers
to effectuate the provisions of Article 3 with respect to the applicable Participant. 
 (b) Title to all Purchased
Assets and Purchased Items shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Assets and Purchased
Items or otherwise selling, pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Assets and Purchased Items, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole discretion other than with respect to repurchase
transactions or sales, pledges, repledges, transfers, hypothecations, or rehypothecations to Prohibited Transferees, which shall be subject to the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that Buyer shall transfer the
Purchased Assets to Seller on the applicable Repurchase Date free and clear of any 

  
 80 









 
pledge, lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim on any of the Purchased Assets. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased
Assets or Purchased Items transferred to Buyer by Seller. 
 (c) Buyer, acting for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall
maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Buyer, and the percentage of the rights and obligations under this Agreement owing to, Buyer and each Transferee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to
time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Seller, Buyer, and each Transferee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer or Transferee, as
applicable, hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided
that Buyer shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Register regarding Participants (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s beneficial interest in this Agreement) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such beneficial interest in this Agreement or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of its respective interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. No sale, assignment, transfer or participation pursuant to this Article 17 shall be effective until reflected in the Register. 
 ARTICLE 18. 
 GOVERNING LAW 

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 ARTICLE 19. 
 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 herefrom shall be
effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on 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. 

  
 81 









 ARTICLE 20. 
 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 20, 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 or a related Additional Purchase Transaction or Future Funding Transaction, pursuant to this
Article 20, 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 21. 

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 (a) 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 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) 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 (c) that each party (for so long as each is either a “financial institution,” “financial participant,” “repo
participant,” “master netting participant” or other entity listed in Section 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 12 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 12 and in Sections 362(b)(6), 362 (b)(7), 362(b)(27), 362(o) and 546 of
the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 82 









 (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 12 hereof is a contractual right to accelerate, terminate or liquidate this Agreement or
the Transactions 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. 
 (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 hereby further agrees that it shall not
challenge the characterization of (i) this Agreement or any Transaction as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement,” or (ii) each party as a “repo
participant” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code except insofar as the type of Asset 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) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing, and that Seller be (except to the
extent that Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding
sentence (including on any and all filings with any U.S. Federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment. 

  
 83 









 ARTICLE 22. 
 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; 
 (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 Exchange 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 23. 

CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 
 (a) 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. 

  
 84 









 (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 23 shall affect the right of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

 (d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 
 ARTICLE 24. 
 NO RELIANCE 

Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the
entering into, and the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder: 
 (a) It is not relying
(for purposes of making any investment decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the
Transaction Documents; 
 (b) It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial and
accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from
such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party; 
 (c) It is a sophisticated and
informed Person that has a full understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise)
those risks; 
 (d) It is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing
its borrowings or investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation; and 
 (e) It
is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guarantee or representation whatsoever as to
the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder. 

  
 85 









 ARTICLE 25. 
 INDEMNITY 
 Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer’s
Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees,
costs, expenses (including 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 or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions hereunder
or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for losses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of
Buyer or any other 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 losses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Buyer or any other Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing
thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all out-of-pocket expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel), loss or damage suffered
by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or
arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller 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 26 and Article 3 (including, without limitation, all Due Diligence 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 outside
counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller. This Article 25 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from
any non-Tax claim. 

  
 86 









 ARTICLE 26. 
 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, any servicer or subservicer 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 the Purchased Assets during the term of this Agreement, which shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five
(5) 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. 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. Seller further agrees that Seller shall 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 27.

 SERVICING 
 (a) Each servicer of any Purchased Asset (including the Interim Servicer) shall service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of Buyer and Buyer’s successors and assigns. Seller shall cause each such
servicer (including the Interim 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 Section 7(d), no servicer (including the Interim Servicer and the primary servicer) of any of the Purchased Assets shall take any action with respect to any Purchased Asset described in
Section 7(d). 
 (b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to
any and all servicing agreements and pooling and servicing agreements (including, without limitation the Interim 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, appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history


  
 87 









 
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 (including the Custodian) at Buyer’s request. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis and/or
(ii) terminate Seller (as the servicer), the Interim 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 servicers other than the Interim Servicer pursuant to the Interim
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 a 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 (other than the Interim Servicer) and
sub-servicers engaged by Seller to execute the Servicer Notice with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest and agreeing that each servicer and/or sub-servicer shall immediately transfer all Income
and other amounts 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 the Interim Servicer) or sub-servicer shall take no action with regard to such Purchased Asset other than as specifically directed by Buyer. Seller shall cause each Servicing Agreement
(including the Interim Servicing Agreement) to be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and each Servicer (including the Interim Servicer) to comply with such terms. 
 (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 Interim 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. 

(g) Seller shall cause each servicer of a Purchased Asset to provide to Buyer and to the Custodian via electronic transmission, promptly
upon request by Buyer a Servicing Tape for the month (or any portion thereof) prior to the date of Buyer’s request; provided, that to the extent any servicer does not provide any such Servicing Tape, Seller shall prepare and provide to
Buyer and Custodian via electronic transmission a remittance report containing the servicing information that would otherwise be set forth in the Servicing Tape; and provided, further, that regardless of whether Seller at any time
delivers any such remittance report, Seller shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each servicer to provide each Servicing Tape in accordance herewith. 

  
 88 









 ARTICLE 28. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 (a) Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may
either securitize or participate, syndicate or otherwise sell interests in the Transactions, any Transaction and/or any portion thereof (any such transaction, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). To the extent Buyer desires to
implement any Secondary Market Transaction, Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Buyer’s attorneys’ fees and costs and Seller’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs), to plan, structure, negotiate, implement and execute such Secondary Market Transaction; provided that such Secondary Market Transaction has no material adverse tax consequence on Seller or their direct or
indirect owners. Seller hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer reserves the right to convert any Transaction or Transactions (or any portion thereof) at any time (including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) to
components, pari passu financing or subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of preferred equity, subordinate debt, multiple notes, or participation interests, each subordinate to such loan (“Subordinate
Financing”, and the senior portion of any such Subordinate Financing, the “Senior Tranche”), and (ii) any such Subordinate Financing shall have individual coupon rates that, when blended with the Senior Tranche in the
aggregate, shall initially equal the Price Differential. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of any such Subordinate Financing will provide that a default under the Senior Tranche shall be a default under the respective Subordinate
Financing. Seller consents to disclosure by Buyer or any of its Affiliates of the Purchased Assets, collateral therefor and Seller’s and its Affiliates’ and/or principals’ operating and financial statements in connection with the
servicing of any Purchased Assets and any Secondary Market Transaction. 
 (b) 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. 

(c) 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. 
 (d) The headings in the Transaction Documents
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents. 

(e) 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 and consummation 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 on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement 

  
 89 









 
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 reasonable expenses for legal services) 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. This Article 28(e) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (f) 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 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, 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 thereof under the Transaction
Documents or any other agreement, 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 or any other agreement, 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. 
 (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. 

  
 90 









 (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 and absolute discretion and such decision by Buyer shall be final and conclusive. 

(l) Each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and the parties hereto agree that this
Agreement shall not be amended or otherwise modified without the written consent of each Affiliated Hedge Counterparty, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. 

  
 91

written above.

 EXHIBIT VI 
 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 REGARDING EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED ASSET

 THAT IS A SENIOR MORTGAGE LOAN 
 (OTHER THAN A PARTICIPATION INTEREST) 
 (a) As
applicable, each Purchased Asset is either a whole loan and not a participation interest in a whole loan or an A-note interest in a whole loan. The sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer or its designee does
not require Seller to obtain any governmental or regulatory approval or consent that has not been obtained. It being understood that B-notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Senior Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there
are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Underlying Mortgaged Property. Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the
Mortgagor. 
 (b) No Purchased Asset is 30 days or more delinquent in payment of principal and interest (without
giving effect to any applicable grace period) and no Purchased Asset has been 30 days or more (without giving effect to any applicable grace period in the related Mortgage Note) past due. 

(c) Except with respect to the ARD Loans, which provide that the rate at which interest accrues thereon increases after
the Anticipated Repayment Date, the Purchased Assets (exclusive of any default interest, late charges or prepayment premiums) are fixed rate mortgage loans or floating rate mortgage loans with terms to maturity, at origination or as of the most
recent modification, as set forth in the Purchased Asset Schedule. 
 (d) The information pertaining to each
Purchased Asset set forth on the Purchased Asset Schedule is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date. 
 (e) At the time of the assignment of the Purchased Assets to Buyer, Seller had good and marketable title to and was the sole owner and holder of, each Purchased Asset, free and clear of any pledge, lien,
encumbrance or security interest and such assignment validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Purchased Assets to Buyer free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance, participation or security
interest, any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Senior Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each
Senior Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Senior Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Senior
Mortgage Loan subject to the rights and obligations of Seller pursuant to the Agreement. 
 (f) To the extent
required under applicable law, Seller is authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the
enforceability of such Senior Mortgage Loan. 







 (g) In respect of each Purchased Asset, (A) the related 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 and (B) the Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding. 
 (h) Each Purchased Asset is secured by (or in the case of a
participation interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan is secured by) a Mortgage that establishes and creates a valid and subsisting first priority lien on the Underlying Mortgaged Property, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances,
participation interests, pledges, charges or security interests subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Such Mortgage, together with any separate security agreement, UCC financing statement or similar agreement, if any, establishes and creates a
first priority security interest in favor of Seller in all personal property owned by the Mortgagor that is used in, and is reasonably necessary to, the operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and, to the extent a security interest may be
created therein and perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction, the proceeds arising from the Underlying Mortgaged Property and other collateral securing such
Purchased Asset, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Each UCC financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property and each UCC financing statement assignment, if any,
filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. There exists with respect to such Underlying Mortgaged Property an assignment of leases and rents
provision, either as part of the related Mortgage or as a separate document or instrument, which establishes and creates a first priority security interest in and to leases and rents arising in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property subject
only to Permitted Encumbrances. No person other than the related Mortgagor and the mortgagee owns any interest in any payments due under the related leases. The related Mortgage or such assignment of leases and rents provision provides for the
appointment of a receiver for rents or allows the holder of the related Mortgage to enter into possession of the Underlying Mortgaged Property to collect rent or provides for rents to be paid directly to the holder of the related Mortgage in the
event of a default beyond applicable notice and grace periods, if any, under the related Purchased Asset Documents. As of the origination date, there are no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or
materials affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior or equal to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are insured against pursuant to the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). As of the Purchase Date, there are
no mechanics’ or other similar liens or claims that have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are or may be prior or equal in priority to the lien of the Mortgage, except those that are
insured against pursuant to the applicable Title Policy (as defined below). No (a) Underlying Mortgaged Property secures any mortgage loan not represented on the Purchased Asset Schedule, (b) Purchased Asset is cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan, other than a mortgage loan listed on the Purchased Asset Schedule, or (c) Purchased Asset is secured by property that is not an Underlying Mortgaged Property.

 (i) The Purchased Asset Documents for each Senior Mortgage Loan 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 by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the








 
originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan 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. 
 (j) The related Mortgagor under each
Purchased Asset has good and indefeasible fee simple or, with respect to those Purchased Assets described in clause (cc) hereof, leasehold title to the Underlying Mortgaged Property comprising real estate subject to any Permitted Encumbrances.

 (k) Seller has received an American Land Title Association (ALTA) lender’s title insurance policy or a
comparable form of lender’s title insurance policy (or escrow instructions binding on the Title Insurer (as defined below) and irrevocably obligating the Title Insurer to issue such title insurance policy, a title policy commitment or pro-forma “marked up” at the closing of the related Purchased Asset and countersigned by the Title Insurer or its authorized agent) as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction (the “Title
Policy”), which was issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company (the “Title Insurer”) qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, covering the portion of
each Underlying Mortgaged Property comprised of real estate and insuring that the related Mortgage is a valid first lien in the original principal amount of the related Purchased Asset on the Mortgagor’s fee simple interest (or, if applicable,
leasehold interest) in such Underlying Mortgaged Property comprised of real estate subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Such Title Policy was issued in connection with the origination of the related Purchased Asset. No claims have been made under
such Title Policy. Such Title Policy is in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been paid and will provide that the insured includes the owner of the Purchased Asset and its successors and/or assigns. No holder of the related Mortgage
has done, by act or omission, anything that would, and Seller has no Knowledge of any other circumstance that would, 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), (i) that the Underlying Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property
legally described in the Mortgage, and (i) to the extent that the Underlying Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous. 

(l) The related Assignment of Mortgage and the related assignment of the assignment of leases executed in connection with
each Mortgage, if any, have been recorded in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if not recorded, have been submitted for recording or are in recordable form) and constitute the legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage and the related
assignment of leases and rents from Seller to Buyer. The endorsement of the related Mortgage Note by Seller constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable (except as such enforcement may be limited by
anti-deficiency laws or bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)) assignment of such Mortgage Note, and together with such Assignment of Mortgage and the related assignment of assignment of leases and
rents, legally and validly conveys all right, title and interest in such Purchased Asset and (except in the case of an A-note or a participation interest) the Purchased Asset Documents to Buyer. 







 (m) The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset (or in the case
of a participation interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) provide that such Purchased Asset (or Underlying Mortgage Loan) is non-recourse except that the related Mortgagor and guarantor that has assets other
than equity in the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis and at least one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from at least the following acts of the related
Mortgagor and/or its principals: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the
Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Underlying Mortgaged Property or equity interests in
Mortgagor made in violation of the Purchased Asset Documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be
affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the Underlying Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of
rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, or (B) any security deposits not delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to an event of default under the
Purchased Asset Documents); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Purchased Asset Documents; or
(v) commission of material physical waste at the Underlying Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or
their affiliates, employees or agents. 
 (n) The Purchased Asset Documents for each Purchased Asset contain
enforceable provisions such as to 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, and there is no exemption available to the related Mortgagor that would interfere with such right of foreclosure except (i) any statutory right of redemption or
(ii) any limitation arising under anti deficiency laws or by bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

(o) Each of the related Mortgage Notes and Mortgages are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the related Mortgagor
named on the Purchased Asset Schedule and each of the other related Purchased Asset Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto (subject to any non-recourse provisions therein), enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by anti-deficiency laws or bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that certain provisions of such Purchased Asset Documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under
applicable state or federal laws, but the inclusion of such provisions does not render any of the Purchased Asset Documents invalid as a whole, and such Purchased Asset Documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary
for the practical realization of the principal rights and benefits afforded thereby. 







 (p) The terms of the Purchased Assets or the related Purchased Asset
Documents, (including, in the case of a participation, the documents evidencing the Underlying Mortgage Loan) have not been altered, impaired, modified or waived in any material respect, except prior to the Purchase Date by written instrument duly
submitted for recordation, to the extent required, and as specifically set forth by a document in the related Purchased Asset File. 
 (q) With respect to each Mortgage that 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 no fees or expenses are or will become payable to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor other than de minimis fees paid in connection with the full or partial release of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or related security for such Purchased Asset following
payment of such Purchased Asset in full. The material terms of such Mortgage and related Purchased Asset Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect. 

(r) No Purchased Asset has been satisfied, canceled, subordinated, released or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the
related Mortgagor has not been released, in whole or in part, from its obligations under any related Purchased Asset Document. 
 (s) Except with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges, neither the
Purchased Asset nor any of the related Purchased Asset Documents is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, including,
without limitation, any valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Senior Mortgage Loan, nor will the operation of any of the terms of any such Purchased Asset
Documents, or the exercise (in compliance with procedures permitted under applicable law) of any right thereunder, render any Purchased Asset Documents subject to any right of rescission, set-off, abatement,
diminution, valid counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury (subject to anti-deficiency or one form of action laws and to bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law)), and no such right of
rescission, set-off, abatement, diminution, valid counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. None of the Purchased Asset Documents provides for a release of a portion of the Underlying
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except upon payment or defeasance in full of all obligations under the Mortgage, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the Purchased Assets may allow partial release
(a) upon payment or defeasance of an allocated loan amount which may be formula based, but in no event less than 125% of the allocated loan amount, or (b) in the event the portion of the Underlying Mortgaged Property being released was not
given any material value in connection with the underwriting or appraisal of the related Purchased Asset. 







 (t) As of the Purchase Date, there is no payment default, giving effect to
any applicable notice and/or grace period, and there is no other material default under any of the related Purchased Asset Documents, giving effect to any applicable notice and/or grace period; no such material default or breach has been waived by
Seller or on its behalf or, by Seller’s predecessors in interest with respect to the Purchased Assets; and no event has occurred that, with the passing of time or giving of notice would constitute a material default or breach under the related
Purchased Asset Documents. No Purchased Asset has been accelerated and no foreclosure or power of sale proceeding has been initiated in respect of the related Mortgage. Seller has not waived any material claims against the related Mortgagor under
any non-recourse exceptions contained in the Mortgage Note. 
 (u) The
principal amount of the Purchased Asset stated on the Purchased Asset Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date (except for certain amounts that were fully disbursed by the mortgagee, but escrowed pursuant to the terms of the related
Purchased Asset Documents) and there are no future advances required to be made by the mortgagee under any of the related Purchased Asset Documents. Any requirements under the related Purchased Asset Documents regarding the completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been or are being complied with or such escrow funds are still being held. The value of
the Underlying Mortgaged Property relative to the value reflected in the most recent appraisal thereof is not materially impaired by any improvements that have not been completed. Seller has not, nor, have any of its agents or predecessors in
interest with respect to the Purchased Assets, in respect of such Purchased Asset, directly or indirectly, advanced funds or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor other than
(a) interest accruing on such Purchased Asset from the date of such disbursement of such Purchased Asset to the date which preceded by thirty (30) days the first payment date under the related Mortgage Note and (b) application and
commitment fees, escrow funds, points and reimbursements for fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the origination and funding of the Purchased Asset. 
 (v) No Purchased Asset has capitalized interest included in its principal balance, or provides for any shared appreciation rights or other equity participation therein and no contingent or additional
interest contingent on cash flow or, except for ARD Loans, negative amortization accrues or is due thereon. 

(w) Each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan substantially fully amortizes over its
stated term, which term is at least 60 months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than seven years following the origination of such Purchased Asset. If the related Mortgagor elects
not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Purchased Asset or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of the Code) in the Purchased
Asset exercisable during the term of the mortgage loan, (i) the Purchased Asset’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Purchased Asset Documents; provided, however, that payment
of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the Excess Cash Flow collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the
prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all Excess Cash Flow will be applied 







 
to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a
debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related Mortgage Interest Rate on such Purchased Asset’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that
the property manager for the Underlying Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date. 

(x) Each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan with a hard lockbox requires that
tenants at the Underlying Mortgaged Property shall (and each Purchased Asset identified in the Purchased Asset Schedule as an ARD Loan with a springing lockbox requires that tenants at the Underlying Mortgaged Property shall, upon the occurrence of
a specified trigger event, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date) make rent payments into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased Asset and to which the holder of the Purchased Asset has
a first perfected security interest; provided however, with respect to each ARD Loan that is secured by a multi-family property with a hard lockbox, or with respect to each ARD Loan that is
secured by a multi-family property with a springing lockbox, upon the occurrence of a specified trigger event, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of the related Anticipated Repayment Date, tenants
either pay rents to a lockbox controlled by the holder of the mortgage loan or deposit rents with the property manager who will then deposit the rents into a lockbox controlled by the holder of the Purchased Asset. 

(y) The servicing and collection practices used by Seller in respect of each Senior Mortgage Loan and the terms of the
Purchased Asset Documents evidencing such Purchased Asset comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations and Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination,
funding and servicing of the Purchased Assets, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Purchased Asset and was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with Seller’s customary commercial mortgage servicing practices. 

(z) The Underlying Mortgaged Property is, in all material respects, in compliance with, and is used and occupied in
accordance with, all restrictive covenants of record applicable to such Underlying Mortgaged Property and applicable zoning laws and all material inspections, licenses, permits and certificates of occupancy required by law, ordinance or regulation
to be made or issued with regard to the Underlying Mortgaged Property governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except to the extent (a) any material non-compliance with applicable zoning laws is insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or binding commitment therefor), or the equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law and
ordinance insurance policy that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current zoning regulations, (b) the inability to restore the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or
structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, or title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity, the failure to obtain or maintain
such inspections, 







 
licenses, permits or certificates of occupancy does not materially impair or materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property as it was used and
operated as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset or the rights of a holder of the related Purchased Asset, or (c) no improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and
adversely affect the value or current use of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy. 
 (aa) All (a) taxes, water charges, sewer rents, assessments or other similar outstanding governmental charges and governmental assessments that became due and owing prior to the Purchase Date in
respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property), and that if left unpaid, would be, or might become, a lien on such Underlying Mortgaged Property having priority over the related Mortgage and (b) insurance
premiums or ground rents that became due and owing prior to the Purchase Date in respect of the Underlying Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property), have been paid, or if any such items are disputed, an escrow of funds in an
amount sufficient (together with escrow payments required to be made prior to delinquency) to cover such taxes and assessments and any late charges due in connection therewith has been established. As of the date of origination, the Underlying
Mortgaged Property consisted of one or more separate and complete tax parcels. For purposes of this representation and warranty, the items identified herein shall not be considered due and owing until the date on which interest or penalties would be
first payable thereon. 
 (bb) None of the improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the
appraised value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Asset lies outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that they are legally
nonconforming as contemplated by the representation in clause (48) below, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the exception in each case of (a) immaterial encroachments that do
not materially adversely affect the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of such Underlying Mortgaged Property or (b) encroachments affirmatively covered by the related Title
Policy. With respect to each Purchased Asset, the property legally described in the survey, if any, obtained for the Underlying Mortgaged Property for purposes of the origination thereof is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage.
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 sub-clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence. 
 (cc) As of the date of the applicable engineering report (which was performed within 12 months prior to the Purchase Date) related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property and, as of the Purchase Date, the
Underlying Mortgaged Property is either (i) in good repair, free and clear of any damage that would materially adversely affect the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for such Purchased Asset or the use and operation of the
Underlying Mortgaged Property as it was being used or operated as of the origination date or (ii) escrows in an amount consistent with the standard utilized by Seller with respect to similar loans it holds for its own account have been
established, which escrows will in all events be not less than 100% of 







 
the estimated cost of the required repairs. The Underlying Mortgaged Property has not been damaged by fire, wind or other casualty or physical condition (including, without limitation, any soil
erosion or subsidence or geological condition), which damage has not either been fully repaired or fully insured, or for which escrows in an amount consistent with the standard utilized by Seller with respect to loans it holds for its own account
have not been established. 
 (dd) There are no proceedings pending or threatened, for the partial or total
condemnation of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. 
 (ee) The Purchased Assets that are identified as being
secured in whole or in part by a leasehold estate (a “Ground Lease”) (except with respect to any Purchased Asset also secured by the related fee interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property), satisfy the following conditions:

  

	I.	such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable
jurisdiction; such Ground Lease, or other agreement received by the originator of the Purchased Asset from the ground lessor, provides that the interest of the lessee thereunder may be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use
of the Underlying Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns, in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the Mortgage; as of the date of origination of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a participation
interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan), there was no material change of record in the terms of such Ground Lease with the exception of written instruments that are part of the related Purchased Asset File and there has been no material change in
the terms of such Ground Lease since the recordation of the related Purchased Asset, with the exception of written instruments that are part of the related Purchased Asset File; 


 

	II.	such Ground Lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other than the related fee interest and
Permitted Encumbrances and such Ground Lease is, and shall remain, prior to any mortgage or other lien upon the related fee interest unless a nondisturbance agreement is obtained from the holder of any mortgage on the fee interest that is assignable
to or for the benefit of the related lessee and the related mortgagee; 

  

	III.	such Ground Lease provides that upon foreclosure of the related Mortgage or assignment of the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease in lieu thereof, the
mortgagee under such Mortgage is entitled to become the owner of such interest upon notice to, but without the consent of, the lessor thereunder and, in the event that such mortgagee becomes the owner of such interest, such interest is further
assignable by such mortgagee and its successors and assigns upon notice to such lessor, but without a need to obtain the consent of such lessor; 

  

	IV.	such Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no default of tenant or ground lessor was in existence at origination, or is currently in existence under such Ground
Lease, nor at origination was, or is there any condition that, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease; either such Ground Lease or a separate agreement contains the ground
lessor’s covenant that it shall not amend, modify, cancel or terminate such Ground Lease without the prior written consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage and any amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease
without the prior written consent of the related mortgagee, or its successors or assigns is not binding on such mortgagee, or its successor or assigns; 









	V.	such Ground Lease or other agreement requires that the lessor thereunder will supply an estoppel and give written notice of any material default by the lessee to the
mortgagee under the related Mortgage, provided that such mortgagee has provided the lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the provisions of such Ground Lease; and such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that no such notice
of default and no termination of the Ground Lease in connection with such notice of default shall be effective against such mortgagee unless such notice of default has been given to such mortgagee and any related Ground Lease contains the ground
lessor’s covenant that it will give to the related mortgagee, or its successors or assigns, any notices it sends to the Mortgagor; 

  

	VI.	either (i) the related ground lessor has subordinated its interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the interest of the holder of the Purchased Asset (or in
the case of a participation interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) or (ii) such Ground Lease or other agreement provides that (A) the mortgagee under the related Mortgage is permitted a reasonable opportunity to cure any default under
such Ground Lease that is curable, including reasonable time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease, after the receipt of notice of any such default before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease;
(B) in the case of any such default that is not curable by such mortgagee, or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the lessee under such Ground Lease, such mortgagee has the right, following termination of the existing Ground Lease
or rejection thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on substantially the same terms as the existing Ground Lease; and (C) all rights of the Mortgagor under such Ground Lease may be
exercised by or on behalf of such mortgagee under the related Mortgage upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure; 

  

	VII.	such Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms that under all circumstances may be exercised, and will be
enforceable, by the mortgagee or its assignee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Purchased Asset (or in the case of a participation interest, of the Underlying Mortgage Loan);


  

	VIII.	under the terms of such Ground Lease 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 in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total
loss or taking as addressed in subpart (IX))) will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee under such Mortgage or a financially responsible institution acting as trustee
appointed by it, or consented to by it, or by the lessor having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses (except in such cases where a provision entitling another party to hold and disburse such proceeds
would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a prudent institutional lender), or to the payment in whole or in part of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;










	IX.	in the case of a total or substantial 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration,
will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; 

  

	X.	Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such ground lease. To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no default under such
ground lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such ground lease and such ground lease is in full force and effect; and 


 

	XI.	such Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by Seller; such Ground Lease contains a covenant (or
applicable laws provide) that the lessor thereunder is not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any lessee in the relevant portion of such Underlying Mortgaged Property subject to
such Ground Lease for any reason, or in any manner, which would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. 

 (ff) An Environmental Site Assessment (an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements conducted by a reputable environmental consultant relating to each Underlying Mortgaged Property and prepared no
earlier than 12 months prior to the Purchase Date was obtained and reviewed by Seller in connection with the origination of such Purchased Asset and a copy is included in the Purchased Asset File. 

(gg) There are no adverse circumstances or conditions with respect to or affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property that
would constitute or result in a material violation of any applicable federal, state or local environmental laws, rules and regulations (collectively, “Environmental Laws”) and such ESA (i) did not reveal any known circumstance
or condition that rendered the Underlying Mortgaged Property at the date of the ESA in material noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its
successor, hereinafter “Environmental Condition”) or the need for further investigation, or (ii) if any material noncompliance with Environmental Laws or the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further
investigation was indicated in any such ESA, other than with respect to an Underlying Mortgaged Property (A) for which environmental insurance is maintained, or (B) that would require (x) any expenditure less than or equal to 5% of
the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan to achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with any Environmental Laws or (y) any expenditure greater than 5% of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset to
achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with any Environmental Laws for which, in connection with this clause (y), adequate sums, but in no event less than 125% of the estimated cost as set forth in the Environmental Site Assessment,
were reserved in connection with the origination of the Purchased Asset and for which the related Mortgagor has covenanted to perform, or (iii) as to which the related Mortgagor or one of its affiliates is currently taking or required to take
such actions, if any, with respect to such conditions or circumstances as have been recommended by the Environmental Site Assessment or required by the applicable Governmental Authority, or 







 
(iv) as to which another responsible party not related to the Mortgagor with assets reasonably estimated by Seller at the time of origination to be sufficient to effect all necessary or required
remediation identified in a notice or other action from the applicable Governmental Authority is currently taking or required to take such actions, if any, with respect to such regulatory authority’s order or directive, or (v) as to which
the conditions or circumstances identified in the Environmental Site Assessment were investigated further and based upon such additional investigation, an environmental consultant recommended no further investigation or remediation, or (vi) as
to which a party with financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to cure the condition or circumstance that would give rise to such material violation provided a guarantee or indemnity to the related Mortgagor or to the mortgagee to
cover the costs of any required investigation, testing, monitoring or remediation, or (vii) as to which the related Mortgagor or other responsible party obtained a “No Further Action” letter or other evidence reasonably acceptable to
a prudent commercial mortgage lender that applicable federal, state, or local Governmental Authorities had no current intention of taking any action, and are not requiring any action, in respect of such condition or circumstance, or (viii) that
would not require substantial cleanup, remedial action or other extraordinary response under any Environmental Laws reasonably estimated to cost in excess of 5% of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Asset; 

(hh) Such Senior Mortgage Loan is the subject of an environmental insurance policy, issued by the issuer set forth on
Schedule I (the “Policy Issuer”) and effective as of the date thereof (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), (ii) the Environmental Insurance Policy is in full force and effect, there is no deductible and
the trustee is a named insured under such policy, (iii)(a) a property condition or engineering report was prepared, if the Underlying Mortgaged Property was constructed prior to 1985, with respect to asbestos-containing materials
(“ACM”) and, if the 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 Underlying Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgagor (A) was required to remediate the identified condition prior to closing the Senior Mortgage Loan or
provide additional security or establish with the mortgagee a reserve in an amount deemed to be sufficient by the Mortgage Loan Seller, for the remediation of the problem, and/or (B) agreed in the Purchased Asset Documents to establish an
operations and maintenance plan after the closing of the Senior Mortgage Loan 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, the Mortgage Loan 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 Senior Mortgage Loan.

 (ii) Except for any hazardous materials being handled in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws,
(A) there exists either (i) environmental insurance with respect to such Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) an amount in an escrow account pledged as security for 







 
such Purchased Asset under the relevant Purchased Asset Documents equal to no less than 125% of the amount estimated in such Environmental Site Assessment as sufficient to pay the cost of such
remediation or other action in accordance with such Environmental Site Assessment or (B) one of the statements set forth in clause (A)(ii) above is true, (i) such Underlying Mortgaged Property is not being used for the treatment or
disposal of hazardous materials; (ii) no hazardous materials are being used or stored or generated for off-site disposal or otherwise present at such Underlying Mortgaged Property other than hazardous
materials of such types and in such quantities as are customarily used or stored or generated for off-site disposal or otherwise present in or at properties of the relevant property type; and (iii) such
Underlying Mortgaged Property is not subject to any environmental hazard (including, without limitation, any situation involving hazardous materials) that under the Environmental Laws would have to be eliminated before the sale of, or that could
otherwise reasonably be expected to adversely affect in more than a de minimis manner the value or marketability of, such Underlying Mortgaged Property. 
 (jj) The related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents contain covenants on the part of the related Mortgagor requiring its compliance with any present or future federal, state and local
Environmental Laws and regulations in connection with the Underlying Mortgaged Property. The related Mortgagor (or an affiliate thereof) has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Seller, and its successors and assigns (or in the case of a
participation interest, the lender of record), harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, expenses and claims of whatever kind or nature (including attorneys’ fees and costs) imposed upon or incurred
by or asserted against any such party resulting from a breach of the environmental representations, warranties or covenants given by the related Mortgagor in connection with such Purchased Asset. 

(kk) For each of the Purchased Assets that is covered by environmental insurance, each environmental insurance policy is
in an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset and has a term ending no sooner than the date that is five years after the maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the final maturity date) of the
related Purchased Asset. All environmental assessments or updates that were in the possession of Seller and that relate to an Underlying Mortgaged Property as being insured by an environmental insurance policy have been delivered to or disclosed to
the environmental insurance carrier issuing such policy prior to the issuance of such policy. 
 (ll) As of the
date of origination of the related Purchased Asset, and, as of the Purchase Date, the Underlying Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance policies providing the coverage described below and the Purchased Asset Documents permit the mortgagee to
require the coverage described below. All premiums with respect to the insurance policies insuring each Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid in a timely manner or escrowed to the extent required by the Purchased Asset Documents, and Seller
has not received any notice of cancellation or termination. The relevant Purchased Asset File contains the insurance policy required for such Purchased Asset or a certificate of insurance for such insurance policy. Each Mortgage requires that the
Underlying Mortgaged Property and all improvements thereon be covered by insurance policies providing (a) coverage in the amount of the lesser of full replacement cost of such Underlying Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance
of the related Purchased Asset (subject to customary deductibles) for fire and extended perils included within the classification “All Risk of Physical Loss” in an amount sufficient to prevent








 
the Mortgagor from being deemed a co-insurer and to provide coverage on a full replacement cost basis of such Underlying Mortgaged Property (in some cases
exclusive of foundations and footings) with an agreed amount endorsement to avoid application of any coinsurance provision; such policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming mortgagee and its successor in interest as additional insureds or
loss payee, as applicable; (b) business interruption or rental loss insurance in an amount at least equal to (i) 12 months of operations or (ii) in some cases all rents and other amounts customarily insured under this type of
insurance of the Underlying Mortgaged Property; (c) flood insurance (if any portion of the improvements on the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”),
with respect to certain Purchased Assets and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development with respect to other mortgage loans, as having special flood hazards) in an amount not less than amounts prescribed by FEMA; (d) workers’
compensation, if required by law; (e) comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount equal to not less than $1,000,000; all such insurance policies contain clauses providing they are not terminable and may not be terminated without
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the mortgagee (except where applicable law requires a shorter period or except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the mortgagee is
required). In addition, each Mortgage permits the related mortgagee to make premium payments to prevent the cancellation thereof and shall entitle such mortgagee to reimbursement therefor. Any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty, loss or
taking will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the related Purchased Asset together with any accrued interest thereon. The
Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by an insurance policy, issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a participation interest, of the Underlying Mortgage Loan) and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least A:X from A.M. Best Company or “A” (or the equivalent) from S&P, Fitch or Moody’s. 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 the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Underlying Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a return period of not less than 100 years, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedence. If the resulting report concluded
that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A:X by A.M. Best Company or “A” (or the
equivalent) from S&P, Fitch or Moody’s. The insurer issuing each of the foregoing insurance policies is qualified to write insurance in the jurisdiction where the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located. 

(mm) All amounts required to be deposited by each Mortgagor at origination under the related Purchased Asset Documents
have been deposited at origination and there are no deficiencies with regard thereto. 
 (nn) Whether or not a
Purchased Asset was originated by Seller, with respect to each Purchased Asset originated by Seller and each Purchased Asset originated by any Person other than Seller, as of the date of origination of the related Purchased Asset, and, with respect
to each Purchased Asset originated by Seller and any subsequent holder of the Purchased Asset, as of the Purchase Date, there are no actions, suits, arbitrations or governmental investigations or








 
proceedings by or before any court or other Governmental Authority or agency now pending against or affecting the Mortgagor or guarantor under any Purchased Asset or any of the Mortgaged
Properties that, if determined against such Mortgagor or such Underlying Mortgaged Property, would materially and adversely affect the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided with respect to the related
Purchased Asset, the ability of such Mortgagor and/or the current use or operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow to pay principal, interest and other amounts due under the related Purchased Asset, title to the
Underlying Mortgaged Property, the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, ; and there are no such actions, suits or proceedings threatened against such Mortgagor. 

(oo) Each Purchased Asset complied at origination, in all material respects, with all of the terms, conditions and
requirements of Seller’s underwriting standards applicable to such Purchased Asset and since origination, the Purchased Asset has been serviced in all material respects in a legal manner in conformance with Seller’s servicing standards.

 (pp) The originator of the Purchased Asset or Seller has inspected or caused to be inspected each Underlying
Mortgaged Property within the 12 months prior to the Purchase Date. 
 (qq) The Purchased Asset Documents require
the Mortgagor to provide the holder of the Purchased Asset with quarterly and annual operating statements, financial 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 (i) with respect to each Senior Mortgage Loan 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 and
(ii) for each Senior Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage. 

(rr) All escrow deposits and payments required by the terms of each Purchased Asset are in the possession, or under the
control of Seller (or in the case of a participation interest, the servicer of the related mortgage loan), and all amounts required to be deposited by the applicable Mortgagor under the related Purchased Asset Documents have been deposited, and
there are no deficiencies with regard thereto (subject to any applicable notice and cure period). All of Seller’s interest in such escrows and deposits will be conveyed by Seller to Buyer hereunder. 

(ss) Each Mortgagor with respect to a Purchased Asset is an entity whose organizational documents or related Purchased
Asset Documents provide that it is, and at least so long as the Purchased Asset is outstanding will continue to be, a Single Purpose Entity. Both the Purchased Asset Documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each
Senior Mortgage Loan with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date in excess of $5,000,000 provide that the Mortgagor is a Single Purpose Entity, and each Senior Mortgage Loan with a principal balance as of the Purchase Date of $20,000,000 or
more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, “Single Purpose Entity” shall mean a Person, other than an individual, whose organizational documents provide








 
that it shall engage solely in the business of owning and operating the Underlying Mortgaged Property and that does not engage in any business unrelated to such property and the financing
thereof, does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the financing thereof or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, and the
organizational documents of which require that it have its own separate books and records and its own accounts, in each case that are separate and apart from the books and records and accounts of any other Person, except as permitted by the related
Mortgage or other Purchased Asset Documents, and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. 
 (tt) Each of the Purchased Assets contain a “due on sale” clause, which provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of a
participation interest, of the related mortgage loan) if, without the prior written consent of the holder of the Purchased Asset (or in the case of an A-note or a participation interest, of the holder of title to the Underlying Mortgage Loan), the
property subject to the Mortgage, or any controlling interest therein, is directly or indirectly transferred or sold (except that it may provide for transfers by devise, descent or operation of law upon the death of a member, manager, general
partner or shareholder of a Mortgagor and that it may provide for assignments subject to the Purchased Asset holder’s approval of transferee, transfers to affiliates, transfers to family members for estate planning purposes, transfers among
existing members, partners or shareholders in Mortgagors or transfers of passive interests so long as the key principals or general partner retains control). The Purchased Asset Documents contain a “due on encumbrance” clause, which
provides for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Purchased Asset if the property subject to the Mortgage or any controlling interest in the Mortgagor is further pledged or encumbered, unless the prior written
consent of the holder of the Purchased Asset is obtained (except that it may provide for assignments subject to the Purchased Asset holder’s approval of transferee, transfers to affiliates or transfers of passive interests so long as the key
principals or general partner retains control). The Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to pay, to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, such fees, along with all
other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance all reasonable fees and expenses associated with securing the consent or approval of the holder of the Mortgage for a waiver of a “due on
sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause or a defeasance provision. As of the Purchase Date, Seller holds no preferred equity interest in any Mortgagor and Seller holds no mezzanine debt related to such Underlying Mortgaged Property.

 (uu) Each Purchased Asset containing provisions for defeasance of mortgage collateral requires either
(a) the prior written consent of, and compliance with the conditions set by, the holder of the Purchased Asset to any defeasance, or (b)(i) the replacement collateral consist of U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Article 1.860 G-2(a)(8)(i), in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due (up to the maturity date for the related Purchased Asset, the
Anticipated Repayment Date for ARD Loans or the date on which the Mortgagor may prepay the related Purchased Asset without payment of any prepayment penalty); (ii) the loan may be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity approved by the holder of the
Purchased Asset; (iii) counsel provide an opinion that the trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (iv) such other documents and certifications as the mortgagee may reasonably
require, which 







 
may include, without limitation, (A) a certification that the purpose of the defeasance is to facilitate the disposition of the mortgaged real property or any other customary commercial
transaction and not to be part of an arrangement to collateralize a REMIC offering with obligations that are not real estate mortgages and (B) a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to
make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note when due. Each Purchased Asset containing provisions for defeasance provides that, in addition to any cost associated with defeasance, the related Mortgagor shall pay, as of the date the mortgage
collateral is defeased, all scheduled and accrued interest and principal due as well as an amount sufficient to defease in full the Purchased Asset. In addition, if the related Purchased Asset permits defeasance, then the Purchased Asset Documents
provide that the related Mortgagor shall (x) pay all reasonable fees associated with the defeasance of the Purchased Asset and all other reasonable expenses associated with the defeasance, or (y) provide all opinions required under the
related Purchased Asset Documents, including a REMIC opinion, and any applicable rating agency letters confirming that no downgrade or qualification shall occur as a result of the defeasance. If the Senior Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of
real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the allocated loan
amount for the real property to be released and the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption. If the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of
the Senior Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed by a Single Purpose Entity and the Mortgagor is required to deliver an opinion of counsel that Buyer has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior
to any other claim or interest. 
 (vv) In the event that a Purchased Asset is secured by more than one
Underlying Mortgaged Property, then, in connection with a release of less than all of such Mortgaged Properties, an Underlying Mortgaged Property may not be released as collateral for the related Purchased Asset unless, in connection with such
release, an amount equal to not less than 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Underlying Mortgaged Property is prepaid or, in the case of a defeasance, an amount equal to 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount is defeased through the deposit of
replacement collateral (as contemplated in clause (34) hereof) sufficient to make all scheduled payments with respect to such defeased amount, or such release is otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Purchased Asset Documents. With
respect to any partial release, either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Senior Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and
(ii) would not cause the subject Senior Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) 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 (x). For purposes of the preceding
clause (x), for any Senior Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 Senior Mortgage Loan 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 REMIC provisions of the Code. 







 In the case of any Senior Mortgage Loan originated after December 6,
2010, in the event of a taking of any portion of an 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 Senior Mortgage Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions of the Code and, to such extent, the award for any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Underlying
Mortgaged Property or 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 Senior Mortgage Loan. 
 In the case of any Senior Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Senior Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Underlying Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized
with another Senior Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other
requirements of the REMIC provisions of the Code. 
 (ww) Each Underlying Mortgaged Property is owned in fee by
the related Mortgagor, with the exception of (i) Mortgaged Properties that are secured in whole or in a part by a Ground Lease and (ii) out-parcels, and is used and occupied for commercial or
multifamily residential purposes in accordance with applicable law. 
 (xx) Any material non-conformity with applicable zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure that, in the event of casualty or destruction, may be restored or repaired to
the full extent of the use or structure at the time of such casualty, or for which law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained in amounts consistent with the standards utilized by Seller. 

(yy) Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contributions to the related
Mortgagor under the Purchased Asset. The Purchased Asset was not originated for the sole purpose of financing the construction of incomplete improvements on the Underlying Mortgaged Property. 

(zz) The following statements are true with respect to the Underlying Mortgaged Property: (a) the Underlying
Mortgaged Property is located on or adjacent to a dedicated road or has access to an irrevocable easement permitting ingress and egress and (b) the Underlying Mortgaged Property is served by public or private utilities, water and sewer (or
septic facilities) and otherwise appropriate for the use in which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is currently being utilized. 
 (aaa) None of the Purchased Asset Documents contain any provision that expressly excuses the related borrower from obtaining and maintaining insurance coverage for acts of terrorism and, in circumstances
where terrorism insurance is not expressly required, the mortgagee is not prohibited from requesting that the related borrower maintain such insurance, in each case, to the extent such insurance coverage is generally available for like properties in
such 







 
jurisdictions at commercially reasonable rates. Each Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by an “all-risk” casualty insurance policy and such
policy did not, as of the date of origination of the Senior Mortgage Loan, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, do not contain an express exclusion for (or, alternatively, is covered by a separate policy that insures against property damage resulting
from) acts of terrorism. 
 (bbb) An appraisal of the Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection
with the origination of such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a participation interest, the date of origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan), and such appraisal satisfied the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, in either case as in effect on the date such Purchased Asset (or in the case of a participation interest, the Underlying Mortgage Loan) was originated. The appraisal date is within 6 months of the Senior
Mortgage Loan 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 (“MAI”) and, to Seller’s Knowledge, had no interest, direct or
indirect, in the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Senior Mortgage Loan. 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. 

(ccc) The Senior Mortgage Loan 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 Senior Mortgage Loan to the
related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Senior Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Senior Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including buildings and structural
components thereof, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Senior Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Senior Mortgage Loan on such date or (ii) at
the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Senior Mortgage Loan on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any
lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Senior Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Senior Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Senior Mortgage Loan
were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Senior Mortgage Loan (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 Senior Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of
the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Senior Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Senior Mortgage Loan was
originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Senior Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations. 







 (ddd) 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 Senior Mortgage Loan. Seller has obtained 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
Senior Mortgage Loan. The 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, it being understood that for Mortgaged Properties acquired with the proceeds of a Senior Mortgage Loan, operating histories may not have been available.

 (eee) 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 (i.e., the “Major Sponsors”). Seller (1) 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 for at least 10 years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (2) 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 for at least 10 years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and provided, however, that records searches were limited to the last 10 years. ((1) and (2) 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 of 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. 
 (fff) With
respect to each Senior Mortgage Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property leased to a single tenant, the Mortgage Loan Seller reviewed such estoppel obtained from such tenant no earlier than 90 days prior to the
origination date of the related Senior Mortgage Loan, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on the related estoppel certificate, the related lease is in full force and effect or if not in full force and effect the related
space was underwritten as vacant, subject to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as, without limitation, with respect to common area maintenance and pass-through audits and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy
provisions. With respect to each Mortgage Loan predominantly secured by a retail, office or industrial property, the Mortgage Loan Seller has received lease estoppels executed within 90 days of the origination date of the related Senior Mortgage
Loan that collectively account for at least 65% of the in-place base rent for the Underlying Mortgaged Property or set of cross-collateralized properties that secure a Senior Mortgage Loan that is represented on the certified rent roll. To the
Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, each lease represented on the certified rent roll is in full force and effect, subject to customary reservations of tenant’s rights, such as with respect to common area maintenance and pass-through audits
and verification of landlord’s compliance with co-tenancy provisions. 







 (ggg) Such Senior Mortgage Loan is not cross-collateralized or
cross-defaulted with any other Asset that is not subject to a Transaction. 
 (hhh) No advance of funds has been
made by Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Senior
Mortgage Loan. Neither Seller nor any Affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under the Senior Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the Purchase Date. 

(iii) Seller has complied with its internal procedures with respect to all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 in connection with the origination of the Senior Mortgage Loan. 
 Defined Terms 
 As used in this Exhibit: 

The term “Allocated Loan Amount” shall mean, for each Underlying Mortgaged Property, the portion of
principal of the related Purchased Asset allocated to such Mortgaged Property for certain purposes (including determining the release prices of properties, if permitted) under such Purchased Asset as set forth in the related loan documents. There
can be no assurance, and it is unlikely, that the Allocated Loan Amounts represent the current values of individual Mortgaged Properties, the price at which an individual Underlying Mortgaged Property could be sold in the future to a willing buyer
or the replacement cost of the Mortgaged Properties. 
 The term “Anticipated Repayment Date”
shall mean, with respect to any Purchased Asset that is indicated on the Purchased Asset Schedule as having a Revised Rate, the date upon which such Purchased Asset commences accruing interest at such Revised Rate. 

The term “Assignment of Leases” shall have the meaning specified in paragraph 10 of this
Exhibit VI. 
 The term “Assignment of Mortgage” shall mean, with respect to any
Mortgage, an assignment of the mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent instrument in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the related property is located to reflect the assignment and pledge of the Mortgage,
subject to the terms, covenants and provisions of this Agreement. 
 The term “ARD Loan” shall
mean any Purchased Asset that provides that if the unamortized principal balance thereof is not repaid on its Anticipated Repayment Date, such Purchased Asset will accrue Excess Interest at the rate specified in the related Mortgage Note and the
Mortgagor is required to apply excess monthly cash flow generated by the Underlying Mortgaged Property to the repayment of the outstanding principal balance on such Purchased Asset. 







 The term “Due Date” shall mean the day of the month set
forth in the related Mortgage Note on which each monthly payment of interest and/or principal thereon is scheduled to be first due. 
 The term “Environmental Site Assessment” shall mean a Phase I environmental report meeting the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials, and, if in accordance with
customary industry standards a reasonable lender would require it, a Phase II environmental report, each prepared by a licensed third party professional experienced in environmental matters. 

The term “Excess Cash Flow” shall mean the cash flow from the Underlying Mortgaged Property securing an
ARD Loan after payments of interest (at the Mortgage Interest Rate) and principal (based on the amortization schedule), and (a) required payments for the tax and insurance fund and ground lease escrows fund, (b) required payments for the
monthly debt service escrows, if any, (c) payments to any other required escrow funds and (d) payment of operating expenses pursuant to the terms of an annual budget approved by the servicer and discretionary (lender approved) capital
expenditures. 
 The term “Excess Interest” shall mean any accrued and deferred interest on an
ARD Loan in accordance with the following terms. Commencing on the respective Anticipated Repayment Date each ARD Loan (pursuant to its existing terms or a unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of the Code, in
the Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the Purchased Asset) generally will bear interest at a fixed rate (the “Revised Rate”) per annum equal to the Mortgage Interest Rate plus a percentage specified in the related
Purchased Asset Documents. Until the principal balance of each such Purchased Asset has been reduced to zero (pursuant to its existing terms or a unilateral option, as defined in Treasury Regulations under Article 1001 of the Code, in the
Purchased Assets exercisable during the term of the mortgage loan), such Purchased Asset will only be required to pay interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and the interest accrued at the excess of the related Revised Rate over the related Mortgage
Interest Rate will be deferred (such accrued and deferred interest and interest thereon, if any, is “Excess Interest”). 
 The term “Mortgage Interest Rate” shall mean the fixed rate, or the formula applicable to determine the floating rate, of interest per annum that each Purchased Asset bears as of the
Purchase Date. 
 The term “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean: 

 

	 	I.	the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet delinquent or accruing interest or penalties; 


 

	 	II.	covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and referred
to in the related mortgagee’s title insurance policy; 









	 	III.	other matters to which like properties are commonly subject and which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally, and 


 

	 	IV.	the rights of tenants, as tenants only, whether under ground leases or space leases at the Underlying Mortgaged Property 


that together do not materially and adversely affect the related Mortgagor’s ability to timely make payments on the related Purchased
Asset, which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the related Mortgage or the use, for the use currently being made, the operation as currently being operated, enjoyment, value or marketability of
such Underlying Mortgaged Property, provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Encumbrances shall exclude all pari passu, second, junior and subordinated mortgages but shall not exclude mortgages that secure
Purchased Assets that are cross-collateralized with other Purchased Assets. 
 The term “Revised Rate” shall mean, with respect to those Purchased Assets on the Purchased Asset Schedule indicated as having a revised rate, the increased interest rate after the
Anticipated Repayment Date (in the absence of a default) for each applicable Purchased Asset, as calculated and as set forth in the related Purchased Asset.

Underlying Mortgaged Property and there is no provision in any agreement related to any such lien, interest or loan which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien, other interest or loan. 

(r) Seller’s security interest in the Mezzanine Loan is covered by a UCC-9 insurance policy (the “UCC-9
Policy”) in the maximum principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan insuring that the related pledge is a valid first priority lien on the collateral pledged in respect of such Mezzanine Loan (the “Mezzanine Collateral”),

 (w) The servicing and collection practices used by the servicer of the
Mezzanine Loan, and the origination practices of the related originator, have been in all respects legal, proper and prudent and have met customary industry standards by prudent institutional commercial mezzanine lenders and mezzanine loan servicers

 (x) If applicable, the ground lessor consented to and acknowledged that (i) the Mezzanine Loan is permitted / approved, (ii) any foreclosure of the Mezzanine Loan and related change in ownership

(cc) All real estate taxes and governmental assessments, or installments thereof, which would be a lien on any related
Underlying Mortgaged Property and that prior to the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset have become delinquent in respect of such Underlying Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such
payments has been established. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest
and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority. 
 (dd) As of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset, each related Underlying Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than deferred maintenance for which escrows were
established at origination) that would affect materially and adversely the value of such Underlying Mortgaged Property as security for the related Underlying Mortgage Loan and there was no proceeding pending or, based solely upon the delivery of
written notice thereof from the appropriate condemning authority, threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property. 







 (ee) As of the Purchase Date of the Mezzanine Loan, all insurance coverage
required under the Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any mortgage loan related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, which insurance covered such risks as were customarily acceptable to prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions
lending on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, and with respect to a fire and extended perils insurance policy, is in an amount
(subject to a customary deductible) at least equal to the lesser of (i) the replacement cost of improvements located on such Underlying Mortgaged Property, or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, and in
any event, the amount necessary to prevent operation of any co-insurance provisions; and, except if such Underlying Mortgaged Property is operated as a mobile home park, is also covered by business interruption or rental loss insurance, in an amount
at least equal to 12 months of operations of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, all of which was in full force and effect with respect to each related Underlying Mortgaged Property; and, as of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased
Asset, all insurance coverage required under the Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any Underlying Mortgage Loan related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, which insurance covers such risks and is in such amounts as are customarily acceptable to
prudent commercial and multifamily mortgage lending institutions lending on the security of property comparable to the related Underlying Mortgaged Property in the jurisdiction in which such Underlying Mortgaged Property is located, is in full force
and effect with respect to each related Underlying Mortgaged Property; all premiums due and payable through the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset have been paid; and no notice of termination or cancellation with respect to any such
insurance policy has been received by Seller; and except for certain amounts not greater than amounts which would be considered prudent by an institutional commercial and/or multifamily mortgage lender with respect to a similar mortgage loan and
which are set forth in the Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any Underlying Mortgage Loan related to the Underlying Mortgaged Property, any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss, will be applied either (i) to the repair or restoration
of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property or (ii) the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, subject in either case to requirements with respect to leases at the related Underlying
Mortgaged Property and to other exceptions customarily provided for by prudent institutional lenders for similar loans. The Underlying Mortgaged Property is also covered by comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and
bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, in an amount customarily required by prudent institutional lenders. An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of
the Underlying Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zone 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the Underlying
Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475 year lookback with a 10% probability of exceedance in a 50 year period. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of
the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least A-:V by A.M. Best Company or “BBB-” (or the equivalent) from S&P and Fitch or
“Baa3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s. If the Underlying Mortgaged Property is located in Florida or within 25 miles of the 







 
coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina or South Carolina such Underlying Mortgaged Property is insured by windstorm insurance in an amount at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying Mortgage Loan and (ii) 100% of the full insurable value, or 100% of the replacement cost, of the improvements located on the related Underlying Mortgaged Property.

 (ff) The insurance policies contain a standard Mortgagee clause naming the Mortgagee, its successors and
assigns as loss payee, in the case of a property insurance policy, and additional insured in the case of a liability insurance policy and provide that they are not terminable without 30 days prior written notice to the Mortgagee (or, with respect to
non-payment, 10 days prior written notice to the Mortgagee) or such lesser period as prescribed by applicable law. Each Mortgage requires that the Mortgagor maintain insurance as described above or permits the Mortgagee to require insurance as
described above, and permits the Mortgagee to purchase such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense if Mortgagor fails to do so. 
 (gg) There is no material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting the Underlying Mortgaged Property; there is no material violation of any applicable Environmental Law with respect
to the Underlying Mortgaged Property; neither Seller nor the Underlying Property Owner has taken any actions which would cause the Underlying Mortgaged Property not to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; the underlying mortgage
loan documents require the borrower to comply with all Environmental Laws; and each Mortgagor has agreed to indemnify the Mortgagee for any losses resulting from any material, adverse environmental condition or failure of the Mortgagor to abide by
such Environmental Laws or has provided environmental insurance. 
 (hh) No borrower under the Mezzanine Loan nor
any Mortgagor under any Underlying Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. 
 (ii) Each related Underlying Mortgaged Property was inspected by or on behalf of the related originator or an affiliate during the 12 month period prior to the related origination date. 

(jj) There are no material violations of any applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws applicable to the
Underlying Mortgaged Property or the use and occupancy thereof which (i) are not insured by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy (or a binding commitment therefor), or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction, or a law
and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would have a material adverse effect on the value, operation or net operating income of the Underlying Mortgaged Property. The Purchased Asset Documents and the underlying mortgage loan documents require
the Underlying Mortgaged Property to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances. 
 (kk) None of the material
improvements which were included for the purposes of determining the appraised value of any related Underlying Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of the Mezzanine Loan or any related Underlying Mortgage Loan lies outside of the
boundaries and building restriction lines of such property (except Underlying Mortgaged Properties which are legal non-conforming uses), to an extent which would have a material adverse affect on the value of the Underlying Mortgaged Property or the
related Mortgagor’s use and operation of such Underlying Mortgaged Property (unless affirmatively covered by title 







 
insurance) and no improvements on adjoining properties encroached upon such Underlying Mortgaged Property to any material and adverse extent (unless affirmatively covered by title insurance).

 (ll) As of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Asset, there was no pending action, suit or proceeding,
or governmental investigation of which Seller, the Mezzanine Borrower or the Underlying Property Owner has received notice, against the Mortgagor or the related Underlying Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected
to materially and adversely affect the Mezzanine Loan or the Underlying Mortgage Loan. 
 (mm) The improvements
located on the Underlying Mortgaged Property are either not located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or, if so located, the Mortgagor is required to maintain or the Mortgagee maintains, flood insurance with respect to such
improvements and such policy is in full force and effect in an amount no less than the lesser of (i) the original principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, (ii) the value of such improvements on the related Underlying Mortgaged
Property located in such flood hazard area or (iii) the maximum allowed under the related federal flood insurance program. 
 (nn) Except for Mortgagors under Underlying Mortgage Loans the Underlying Mortgaged Property with respect to which includes a Ground Lease, the related Mortgagor (or its affiliate) has title in the fee
simple interest in each related Underlying Mortgaged Property. 
 (oo) The related Underlying Mortgaged Property
is not encumbered, and none of the Purchased Asset Documents or any underlying mortgage loan documents permits the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset without the
prior written consent of the holder thereof, by any lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than title exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and
materialmen’s liens that become payable after such Purchase Date). 
 (pp) Each related Underlying Mortgaged
Property constitutes one or more complete separate tax lots (or the related Mortgagor has covenanted to obtain separate tax lots and a Person has indemnified the Mortgagee for any loss suffered in connection therewith or an escrow of funds in an
amount sufficient to pay taxes resulting from a breach thereof has been established) or is subject to an endorsement under the related title insurance policy. 
 (qq) An appraisal of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of the Underlying Mortgage Loan; and such appraisal satisfied either (A) the
requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or (B) the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act or 1989, in either case as in effect on the date such Underlying Mortgage Loan was originated. 

(rr) The related Underlying Mortgaged Property is served by public utilities, water and sewer (or septic facilities) and
otherwise appropriate for the use in which the Underlying Mortgaged Property is currently being utilized. 







 (ss) With respect to each related Underlying Mortgaged Property consisting
of a Ground Lease, Seller represents and warrants the following with respect to the related Ground Lease: 
 I.
Such Ground Lease or a memorandum thereof has been or will be duly recorded no later than 30 days after the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Asset and such Ground Lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be encumbered by the
related Mortgage or, if consent of the lessor thereunder is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date. 
 II. Upon the foreclosure of the Underlying Mortgage Loan (or acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof), the Mortgagor’s interest in such Ground Lease is assignable to the Mortgagee under the leasehold
estate and its assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if any such consent is required, it has been obtained prior to the Purchase Date). 
 III. Such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its
successors or assigns, except termination or cancellation if (i) an event of default occurs under the Ground Lease, (ii) notice thereof is provided to the Mortgagee and (iii) such default is curable by the Mortgagee as provided in the
Ground Lease but remains uncured beyond the applicable cure period. 
 IV. Such Ground Lease is in full force and
effect, there is no material default under such Ground Lease, and there is no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default under such Ground Lease.

 V. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give
notice of any default by the lessee to the Mortgagee. The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement further provides that no notice given is effective against the Mortgagee unless a copy has been given to the Mortgagee in a manner described in the Ground
Lease or ancillary agreement. 
 VI. The Ground Lease (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances
superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, subject, however, to only the Title Exceptions 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. 
 VII. A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including,
where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease) to cure any curable default under such Ground Lease before the lessor thereunder may terminate such Ground Lease. 

VIII. Such Ground Lease has an original term (together with any extension options, whether or not currently exercised, set
forth therein all of which can be exercised by the Mortgagee if the Mortgagee acquires the lessee’s rights under the Ground Lease) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity date. 







 IX. Under the terms of such Ground Lease, any estoppel or consent letter
received by the Mortgagee from the lessor, and the related Mortgage, taken together, any related insurance proceeds or condemnation award (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking) will be applied either to the repair
or restoration of all or part of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property, with the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment or defeasance of
the outstanding principal balance of the Underlying Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest (except in cases where a different allocation would not be viewed as commercially unreasonable by any commercial mortgage lender, taking into
account the relative duration of the Ground Lease and the related Mortgage and the ratio of the market value of the related Underlying Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal balance of such Underlying Mortgage Loan). 

X. The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by a
prudent commercial lender. 
 XI. The ground lessor under such Ground Lease is required to enter into a new lease
upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including the rejection of the Ground Lease in bankruptcy.

Transaction. Conditioned upon the timely and satisfactory completion of Seller’s requirements in clauses (a) and (b) above, Buyer shall, no less than five (5) calendar days prior to the proposed Purchase Date, date of
Additional Purchase Transaction or date of Future Funding Transaction, as applicable, (i) in the case of the proposed purchase of an Eligible Asset, (A) notify Seller in writing (which may take the form of electronic mail format) that
Buyer has not approved the proposed Eligible Asset as a Purchased Asset or (B) notify Seller in writing (which may take the form of electronic mail format) that Buyer has approved the proposed Eligible Asset as a Purchased Asset or (ii) in

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 In
consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, Buyer and
[                    ] (the “Bailee”) hereby agree as follows: 

(a) Seller shall deliver to the Bailee in connection with any Purchased Assets delivered to the Bailee hereunder the
Custodial Delivery Certificate to which shall be attached a Purchased Asset Schedule identifying which Purchased Assets are being delivered to the Bailee hereunder. 

(b) On or prior to the date indicated on the Custodial Delivery Certificate delivered by Seller (the “Funding
Date”), Seller shall have delivered to the Bailee, as bailee for hire, the original documents set forth on Exhibit B attached thereto (collectively, the “Purchased Asset File”) for each of the Purchased Assets (each a
“Purchased Asset” and collectively, the “Purchased Assets”) listed in Exhibit A attached thereto. 
 (c) The Bailee shall issue and deliver to Buyer and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Custodian”) on or prior to the Funding Date by facsimile (a) in the name of Buyer, an initial
trust receipt and certification in the form of Attachment 2 attached hereto (the “Bailee’s Trust Receipt and Certification”) which Bailee’s Trust Receipt and Certification shall state that the Bailee has received the
documents comprising the Purchased Asset File as set forth in the Custodial Delivery Certificate. 
 (d) On the
applicable Funding Date, in the event that Buyer fails to purchase from Seller the Purchased Assets identified in the related Custodial Delivery Certificate, Buyer shall deliver by facsimile to the Bailee at
[                    ] to the attention of
[                    ], an authorization (the “Facsimile Authorization”) to release the Purchased Asset Files with respect to the
Purchased Assets identified therein to Seller. Upon receipt of such Facsimile Authorization, the Bailee shall release the Purchased Asset Files to Seller in accordance with Seller’s instructions. 







 (e) Following the Funding Date, the Bailee shall
forward the Purchased Asset Files to the Custodian at [        ], by insured overnight courier for receipt by the Custodian no later than 1:00 p.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day following the applicable Funding Date (the

 (f) From and after the applicable Funding Date until the time of receipt of

judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys fees, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of this Bailee
Agreement or any action taken or not taken by it or them hereunder unless such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, 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 Agreement. 

(h) In the event that the Bailee fails to produce a Mortgage Note, assignment of collateral or any other document related
to a Purchased Asset that was in its possession within ten (10) business days after required or requested by Seller or Buyer (a “Delivery Failure”), the Bailee shall indemnify Seller or Buyer in accordance with the paragraph
(g) above. 
 (i) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and its respective affiliates and designees
harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys fees, that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of a Custodial Delivery Failure or the Bailee’s negligence, lack of good faith or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnification shall survive any termination or
assignment of this Bailee Agreement. 
 (j) Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the Bailee is
not an affiliate of or otherwise controlled by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge that the Bailee hereunder may act as 







 
counsel to Seller in connection with a proposed transaction and [                    ], if
acting as Bailee, has represented Seller in connection with negotiation, execution and delivery of the Repurchase Agreement. 
 (k) [Arrangements to be discussed with respect to a pledge of Purchased Assets as collateral for an obligation of Buyer held by the Bailee, such arrangements to be agreed to by Bailee in its sole
discretion without obligation.] 
 (l) The agreement set forth in this Bailee Agreement may not be modified,
amended or altered, except by written instrument, executed by all of the parties hereto. 
 (m) This Bailee
Agreement may not be assigned by Seller or the Bailee without the prior written consent of Buyer. 
 (n) For the
purpose of facilitating the execution of this Bailee Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Bailee Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an
original, and such counterparts shall constitute and be one and the same instrument. Electronically transmitted signature pages shall be binding to the same extent. 

(o) This Bailee Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and the obligations,
rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. 
 (p) Capitalized
