Section 2.4           Execution,

by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, respectively. The Class E Notes and the Class F Notes shall be executed

or facsimile.


 


Notes bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the Authorized Officers of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall bind
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, notwithstanding the fact that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold
such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of issuance of such

Notes issued upon transfer,
exchange or replacement of other Notes shall be issued in authorized denominations reflecting the original aggregate principal
amount of the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced, but shall represent only the current outstanding principal amount of
the Notes so transferred, exchanged or replaced. In the event that any Note is divided into more than one Note in accordance with
this Article 2, the original principal amount of such Note shall be proportionately divided among the Notes delivered in exchange
therefor and shall be deemed to be the original aggregate principal amount of such subsequently issued Notes.


 


No Note shall be entitled
to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a Certificate
of Authentication, substantially in the form provided for herein, executed by the Note Administrator or by the Authenticating Agent
by the manual signature of one of their Authorized Officers, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


Section 2.5           Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange.


 


(a)          The
Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes,
shall cause to be kept a register (the "Notes Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it
may prescribe, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers and exchanges
of Notes. The Note Administrator is hereby initially appointed "Notes Registrar" for the purpose of maintaining the Notes
Registrar and registering Notes and transfers and exchanges of such Notes with respect to the Notes Register kept in the United
States as herein provided. Upon any resignation or removal of the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly
appoint a successor or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Notes Registrar.


 


If a Person other than
the Note Administrator is appointed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer as Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall give
the Note Administrator prompt written notice of the appointment of a successor Notes Registrar and of the location, and any change
in the location, of the Notes Register, and the Note Administrator shall have the right to inspect the Notes Register at all reasonable
times and to obtain copies thereof and the Note Administrator shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf
of the Notes Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal
amounts and numbers of such Notes. In addition, the Note Registrar shall be required, within one (1) Business Day of each Record
Date, to provide the Note Administrator with a copy of the Note Registrar in the format required by, and with all accompanying
information regarding the Noteholders as may reasonably be required by the Note Administrator.


 


Subject to this Section 2.5,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 7.2, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes
and the Class F Notes, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount.


 




    	 	- 51 -	 



     


    

  


At the option of the Holder,
Notes may be exchanged for Notes of like terms, in any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 7.2. Whenever any
Note is surrendered for exchange, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect
to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


All Notes issued and authenticated
upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect
to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, evidencing the same debt, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.


 


Every Note presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class
E Notes and the Class F Notes, and, in each case, the Notes Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.


 


No service charge shall
be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Note Administrator may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.


 


None of the Notes Registrar,
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period
beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of
business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note so selected for redemption.


 


(b)          No
Note may be sold or transferred (including, without limitation, by pledge or hypothecation) unless such sale or transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and is exempt from the registration requirements under applicable securities
laws of any state or other jurisdiction.


 


(c)          No
Note may be offered, sold, resold or delivered, within the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. Persons except in accordance
with Section 2.5(e) below and in accordance with Rule 144A to QIBs or, solely with respect to Definitive Notes, IAIs
or QIBs. The Notes may be offered, sold, resold or delivered, as the case may be, in offshore transactions to non-U.S. Persons
in reliance on Regulation S. None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator, the Trustee or any other Person may
register the Notes under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.


 


(d)          Upon
final payment due on the Stated Maturity Date of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Note Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (outside the United States if then required by applicable
law in the case of a Note in definitive form issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security pursuant
to Section 2.10).


 




    	 	- 52 -	 



     


    

  


(e)          Transfers
of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Note remains outstanding and is
held by or on behalf of the Depository, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with
Section 2.2(c) and this Section 2.5(e).


 


(i)          Except
as otherwise set forth below, transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in
part, to nominees of the Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee. Transfers of a Global Note
to a Definitive Note may only be made in accordance with Section 2.10.


 


(ii)         Regulation S
Global Note to Rule 144A Global Note or Definitive Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global
Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A
Global Note or for a Definitive Note or to transfer its interest in such Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to
take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or for a Definitive Note, such
holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream and/or DTC, as
the case may be, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest
in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note or for a Definitive Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar
of:


 


(1)         if
the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, instructions from Euroclear, Clearstream and/or
DTC, as the case may be, directing the Note Registrar to cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A
Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum
denomination applicable to such holder's Notes to be exchanged or transferred, such instructions to contain information regarding
the participant account with DTC to be credited with such increase and a duly completed certificate in the form of Exhibit H-2
attached hereto; or


 


(2)         if
the transferee is taking a Definitive Note, a duly completed transfer certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit H-3
hereto, certifying that such transferee is an IAI,


 


then the Notes Registrar shall either (x) if
the transferee is taking a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause
to be reduced, the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S
Global Note to be transferred or exchanged and the Notes Registrar shall instruct DTC, concurrently with such reduction, to credit
or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding
Rule 144A Global Note equal to the reduction in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note or (y) if the
transferee is taking an interest in a Definitive Note, the Notes Registrar shall record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance
with Section 2.5(a) and, upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more
Definitive Notes, as applicable, registered in the names specified in the instructions described above, in principal amounts designated
by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the
Regulation S Global Note transferred by the transferor).


 




    	 	- 53 -	 



     


    

  


(iii)        Definitive
Note or Rule 144A Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A
Global Note or a Holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note or
Definitive Note for an interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A
Global Note or Definitive Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the corresponding
Regulation S Global Note, such holder, provided such holder or, in the case of a transfer, the transferee is not a U.S. person
and is acquiring such interest in an offshore transaction, may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and
procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest
in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note. Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of:


 


(1)         instructions
given in accordance with DTC's procedures from an Agent Member directing the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar to credit
or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note, but not less than the minimum
denomination applicable to such holder's Notes, in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note
or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and in the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, such Holder's Definitive
Notes properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee;


 


(2)         a
written order given in accordance with DTC's procedures containing information regarding the participant account of DTC and the
Euroclear or Clearstream account to be credited with such increase;


 


(3)         in
the case of a transfer of Definitive Notes, a Holder's Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; and


 


(4)         a
duly completed certificate in the form of Exhibit H-1 attached hereto,


 


then the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar
shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a transfer
of Definitive Notes, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Notes) and to increase the principal
amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A
Global Note or Definitive Note to be exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account
of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Regulation S Global Note equal to
the reduction in the principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note (or, in the case of a cancellation of Definitive Notes,
equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so cancelled).


 




    	 	- 54 -	 



     


    

  


(iv)        Transfer
of Rule 144A Global Notes to Definitive Notes. If, in accordance with Section 2.10, a holder of a beneficial interest
in a Rule 144A Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note for a Definitive
Note or to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form
of a Definitive Note in accordance with Section 2.10, such holder may, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence and
the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer of, such interest for a Definitive Note.
Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a duly complete certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit H-3 and (B) appropriate instructions from DTC, if required, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar
shall approve the instructions at DTC to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Rule 144A Global Note by the aggregate principal
amount of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to be transferred or exchanged, record the transfer in the
Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and deliver one or more Definitive Notes, registered in the names specified in the instructions described in clause (B) above,
in principal amounts designated by the transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the interest in the Rule 144A Global Note transferred by the transferor).


 


(v)         Transfer
of Definitive Notes to Rule 144A Global Notes. If a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest
in such Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or to transfer such Definitive Note to a Person
who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note, such holder may, subject
to the immediately succeeding sentence and the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or transfer, or cause the exchange or transfer
of, such Definitive Note for beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note (provided that no IAI may hold an interest
in a Rule 144A Global Note). Upon receipt by the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder's Definitive
Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee; (B) a duly completed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2
attached hereto; (C) instructions given in accordance with DTC's procedures from an Agent Member to instruct DTC to cause
to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Notes in an amount equal to the Definitive Notes to be transferred
or exchanged; and (D) a written order given in accordance with DTC's procedures containing information regarding the participant's
account of DTC to be credited with such increase, the Note Administrator or the Notes Registrar shall cancel such Definitive Note
in accordance herewith, record the transfer in the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and approve the instructions
at DTC, concurrently with such cancellation, to credit or cause to be credited to the securities account of the Person specified
in such instructions a beneficial interest in the corresponding Rule 144A Global Note equal to the principal amount of the
Definitive Note transferred or exchanged.


 


(vi)        Other
Exchanges. In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, such Notes
may be exchanged for one another only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions above
(including certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers are to a QIB or are to a non-U.S. Person, or otherwise
comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and as may be from time to time adopted by the Issuer, the
Co-Issuer and the Note Administrator.


 




    	 	- 55 -	 



     


    

  


(f)           Removal
of Legend. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the applicable legends set forth
in Exhibits A, B, C, D, E and F hereto, and if a request is made to remove such applicable legend on such Notes, the Notes
so issued shall bear such applicable legend, or such applicable legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is
delivered to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel of an attorney at
law licensed to practice law in the State of New York (and addressed to the Issuer and the Note Administrator), as may be reasonably
required by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the effect that neither such applicable legend nor the restrictions
on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S,
as applicable, the 1940 Act or ERISA. So long as the Issuer or the Co-Issuer is relying on an exemption under or promulgated pursuant
to the 1940 Act, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer shall not remove that portion of the legend required to maintain an exemption under
or promulgated pursuant to the 1940 Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, as confirmed in writing by the Issuer and
the Co-Issuer, if applicable, to the Note Administrator, the Note Administrator, at the direction of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer,
if applicable, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear such applicable legend.


 


(g)          Each
beneficial owner of Regulation S Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit H-1
hereto.


 


(h)          Each
beneficial owner of Rule 144A Global Notes shall be deemed to make the representations and agreements set forth in Exhibit H-2
hereto.


 


(i)           Each
Holder of Definitive Notes shall make the representations and agreements set forth in the certificate attached as Exhibit H-3
hereto.


 


(j)           Any
purported transfer of a Note not in accordance with Section 2.5(a) shall be null and void and shall not be given effect for
any purpose hereunder.


 


(k)          Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, neither the Note Administrator nor the Notes Registrar (nor any other Transfer
Agent) shall be responsible or liable for compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws (including, without limitation,
the Securities Act or Rule 144A or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), the 1940 Act, ERISA or the Code (or any applicable
regulations thereunder); provided, however, that if a specified transfer certificate or Opinion of Counsel
is required by the express terms of this Section 2.5 to be delivered to the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar prior to
registration of transfer of a Note, the Note Administrator and/or Notes Registrar, as applicable, is required to request, as a
condition for registering the transfer of the Note, such certificate or Opinion of Counsel and to examine the same to determine
whether it conforms on its face to the requirements hereof (and the Note Administrator or Notes Registrar, as the case may be,
shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if it determines that such certificate or Opinion of Counsel does not so conform).


 




    	 	- 56 -	 



     


    

  


(l)           If
the Note Administrator has actual knowledge or is notified by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager that (i) a
transfer or attempted or purported transfer of any interest in any Note was consummated in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 2.5 on the basis of a materially incorrect certification from the transferee or purported transferee, (ii) a
transferee failed to deliver to the Note Administrator any certification required to be delivered hereunder or (iii) the holder
of any interest in a Note is in breach of any representation or agreement set forth in any certification or any deemed representation
or agreement of such holder, the Note Administrator shall not register such attempted or purported transfer and if a transfer has
been registered, such transfer shall be absolutely null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee
(such purported transferee, a "Disqualified Transferee") and the last preceding holder of such interest in such
Note that was not a Disqualified Transferee shall be restored to all rights as a Holder thereof retroactively to the date of transfer
of such Note by such Holder.


 


In addition, the Note Administrator
may require that the interest in the Note referred to in (i), (ii) or (iii) in the preceding paragraph be transferred to any
Person designated by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager at a price determined by the Issuer or the Collateral Manager, based
upon its estimation of the prevailing price of such interest and each Holder, by acceptance of an interest in a Note, authorizes
the Note Administrator to take such action. In any case, none of the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and the Note Administrator
shall not be held responsible for any losses that may be incurred as a result of any required transfer under this Section 2.5(l).


 


(m)         Each
Holder of Notes approves and consents to (i) the purchase of the Mortgage Assets by the Issuer from the Seller on the Closing
Date and (ii) any other transaction between the Issuer and the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates that are permitted under
the terms of this Indenture or the Mortgage Asset Purchase Agreement.


 


(n)          As
long as any Note is Outstanding, Retained Securities, retained or repurchased notes, and ordinary shares of the Issuer held by
BSPRT, BSPRT Holder or any other disregarded entity of BSPRT for U.S. federal income tax purposes may not be transferred, pledged
or hypothecated to any other Person (except to an affiliate that is wholly-owned by BSPRT and is disregarded for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) unless the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion (or has previously received a No Trade or Business Opinion).


 


For the avoidance of doubt,
the Indenture Accounts (including income, if any, earned on the investments of funds in such account) will be owned by BSPRT, if
the Issuer is wholly-owned by BSPRT, or a subsequent REIT that wholly owns the Issuer, for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer
shall provide to the Note Administrator (i) an IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8 no later than the Closing
Date, and (ii) any additional IRS forms (or updated versions of any previously submitted IRS forms) or other documentation
at such time or times required by applicable law or upon the reasonable request of the Note Administrator as may be necessary (x) to
reduce or eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes and (y) to permit the Note Administrator to fulfill its tax reporting
obligations under applicable law with respect to the Indenture Accounts or any amounts paid to the Issuer. If any IRS form or other
documentation previously delivered becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Issuer shall timely provide to the Note Administrator
accurately updated and complete versions of such IRS forms or other documentation. The Note Administrator shall have no liability
to Issuer or any other person in connection with any tax withholding amounts paid or withheld from the Indenture Accounts pursuant
to applicable law arising from the Issuer's failure to timely provide an accurate, correct and complete IRS Form W-9, an appropriate
IRS Form W-8 or such other documentation contemplated under this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, no funds shall be
invested with respect to such Indenture Accounts absent the Note Administrator having first received (i) the requisite written
investment direction from the Issuer with respect to the investment of such funds, and (ii) the IRS forms and other documentation
required by this paragraph.

Section 2.6          Mutilated,
Defaced, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Note. If (a) any mutilated or defaced Note is surrendered to a Transfer Agent, or if
there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the relevant Transfer Agent (each,
a "Specified Person") evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note,
and (b) there is delivered to each Specified Person such security or indemnity as may be required by each Specified Person
to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Specified Persons that such Note
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer,
with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, shall execute and, upon Issuer Request (which Issuer Request shall be
deemed to have been given upon receipt by the Note Administrator of a Note that has been signed by the Issuer, and the Co-Issuer,
if applicable), the Note Administrator shall cause the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount,
registered in the same manner, dated the date of its authentication, bearing interest from the date to which interest has been
paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


If, after delivery of such
new Note, a bona fide purchaser of the predecessor Note presents for payment, transfer or exchange such predecessor Note,
any Specified Person shall be entitled to recover such new Note from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking therefrom,
and each Specified Person shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss,
damage, cost or expense incurred by such Specified Person in connection therewith.


 


In case any such mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, in their discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note without requiring surrender thereof except that any mutilated or defaced Note
shall be surrendered.


 


Upon the issuance of any
new Note under this Section 2.6, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, may require the payment by the registered Holder
thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.


 


Every new Note issued pursuant
to this Section 2.6 in lieu of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if applicable, and such new Note shall be entitled, subject to the second
paragraph of this Section 2.6, to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes
duly issued hereunder.


 




    	 	- 58 -	 



     


    

  


The provisions of this
Section 2.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.


 


Section 2.7           Payment
of Principal and Interest and Other Amounts; Principal and Interest Rights Preserved.


 


(a)          Each
Class of Notes shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class and
such interest will be payable in arrears on each Payment Date on the Aggregate Outstanding Amount thereof on the first day of the
related Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to payments of principal thereof on such date), except as otherwise set forth
below. Payment of interest on each Class of Notes will be subordinated to the payment of interest on each related Class of Notes
senior thereto. Interest will cease to accrue on each Note, or in the case of a partial repayment, on such repaid part, from the
date of repayment or the Stated Maturity Date unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or unless an Event of Default
occurs with respect to such payments of principal. To the extent lawful and enforceable, interest on any interest that is not paid
when due on the Class A Notes; or, if no Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Notes of the Controlling Class, shall accrue
at the Note Interest Rate applicable to such Class until paid as provided herein.


 


(b)          (i)
So long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes or the Class D Notes are outstanding,
the Class E Deferred Interest will be deferred and added to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class E Notes and will not
be considered "due and payable" until the Payment on which funds are available to pay such Class E Deferred Interest
in accordance with the Priority of Payments and (ii) so long as any of the Class A Notes, the Class A-S Notes, the Class B Notes,
the Class C Notes, the Class D Notes or the Class E Notes are outstanding, the Class F Deferred Interest will be deferred and added
to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Class F Notes and will not be considered "due and payable" until the Payment
on which funds are available to pay such Class F Deferred Interest in accordance with the Priority of Payments.


 


(c)          The
principal of each Class of Notes matures at par and is due and payable on the date of the Stated Maturity for such Class, unless
such principal has been previously repaid or unless the unpaid principal of such Note becomes due and payable at an earlier date
by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of principal of each
Class of Notes may only occur pursuant to the Priority of Payments. The payment of principal on any Note (x) may only occur
after each Class more senior thereto is no longer Outstanding and (y) is subordinated to the payment on each Payment Date
of the principal due and payable on each Class more senior thereto and certain other amounts in accordance with the Priority of
Payments. Payments of principal on any Class of Notes that are not paid, in accordance with the Priority of Payments, on any Payment
Date (other than the Payment Date which is the Stated Maturity (or the earlier date of Maturity) of such Class of Notes or any
Redemption Date), because of insufficient funds therefor shall not be considered "due and payable" for purposes of Section 5.1(a)
until the Payment Date on which such principal may be paid in accordance with the Priority of Payments or all Classes of Notes
most senior thereto with respect to such Class have been paid in full. Payments of principal on the Notes in connection with a
Clean-up Call, Tax Redemption, Auction Call Redemption or Optional Redemption will be made in accordance with Section 9.1
and the Priority of Payments.


 




    	 	- 59 -	 



     


    

  


(d)          As
a condition to the payment of principal of and interest on any Note without the imposition of U.S. withholding tax, the Issuer
shall require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Preferred Share Paying Agent
and the Paying Agent to determine their duties and liabilities with respect to any taxes or other charges that they may be required
to deduct or withhold from payments in respect of such Security under any present or future law or regulation of the United States
or the Cayman Islands or any present or future law or regulation of any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority therein
or to comply with any reporting or other requirements under any such law or regulation. Such certification may include U.S. federal
income tax forms (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding
and Reporting (Individuals)), Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding
and Reporting (Entities), Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity or Certain U.S. Branches
for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification),
or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim that Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade
or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms). In addition, each of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, the Trustee,
Preferred Share Paying Agent or any Paying Agent may require certification acceptable to it to enable the Issuer to qualify for
a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its Collateral and otherwise
as may be necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with all applicable laws. Each Holder and each beneficial owner of Notes
agree to provide any certification requested pursuant to this Section 2.7(d) and to update or replace such form or certification
in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, the Issuer shall require, as a condition to payment without
the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under the FATCA, information to comply with FATCA requirements pursuant to clause (xii)
of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit H-1 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to
Section 2.5(g) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xiii) of the representations and warranties set forth under the third paragraph
of Exhibit H-2 hereto, as deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(h) hereto, or pursuant to clause (xi) of the representations
and warranties set forth under the third paragraph of Exhibit H-3 hereto, made pursuant to Section 2.5(i) hereto, as
applicable.


 


(e)          Payments
in respect of interest on and principal on the Notes shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a Dollar
account maintained by the Holder or its nominee; provided that the Holder has provided wiring instructions to the Paying
Agent on or before the related Record Date or, if wire transfer cannot be effected, by a Dollar check drawn on a bank in the United
States, or by a Dollar check mailed to the Holder at its address in the Notes Register. The Issuer expects that the Depository
or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note held by the Depository or its
nominee, shall immediately credit the applicable Agent Members' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective
beneficial interests in such Global Note as shown on the records of the Depository or its nominee. The Issuer also expects that
payments by Agent Members to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through Agent Members will be governed by
standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered
in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of the Agent Members. Upon final payment
due on the Maturity of a Note, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note
Administrator or at the office of the Paying Agent (or, to a foreign paying agent appointed by the Note Administrator outside of
the United States if then required by applicable law, in the case of a Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest
in the Regulation S Global Note) on or prior to such Maturity. None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator
or the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability with respect to any records maintained by the Holder of any Note
with respect to the beneficial holders thereof or payments made thereby on account of beneficial interests held therein. In the
case where any final payment of principal and interest is to be made on any Note (other than on the Stated Maturity Date thereof)
the Issuer or, upon Issuer Request, the Note Administrator, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall not more than thirty
(30) nor fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is to be made, mail to the Persons entitled
thereto at their addresses appearing on the Notes Register, a notice which shall state the date on which such payment will be made
and the amount of such payment and shall specify the place where such Notes may be presented and surrendered for such payment.

(f)           Subject
to the provisions of Sections 2.7(a) and Section 2.7(e) hereof, Holders of Notes as of the Record Date in respect of
a Payment Date shall be entitled to the interest accrued and payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments and principal
payable in accordance with the Priority of Payments on such Payment Date. All such payments that are mailed or wired and returned
to the Paying Agent shall be held for payment as herein provided at the office or agency of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to be
maintained as provided in Section 7.2 (or returned to the Trustee).


 


(g)          Interest
on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.


 


(h)          Payments
of principal to Holders of the Notes of each Class shall be made in the proportion that the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Notes of such Class registered in the name of each such Holder on such Record Date bears to the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of
all Notes of such Class on such Record Date.


 


(i)           Interest
accrued with respect to the Notes shall be calculated as described in the applicable form of Note attached hereto.


 


(j)           All
reductions in the principal amount of a Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of installments of principal
made on any Payment Date, Redemption Date or upon Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted
on such Note.


 








    	 	- 61 -	 



     


    



  


(k)          Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer under the Offered Notes,
this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents are limited-recourse obligations of the Issuer and non-recourse obligations
of the Co-Issuer. The Class E Notes and the Class F Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. The Notes are payable
solely from the Collateral and following realization of the Collateral, all obligations of the Co-Issuers, with respect to the
Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, and any claims of the Noteholders, the Trustee
or any other parties to any Transaction Documents shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. No recourse shall be had
for the payment of any amount owing in respect of the Notes against any Officer, director, employee, shareholder, limited partner
or incorporator of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any of their respective successors or assigns for any amounts payable under the
Notes or this Indenture. It is understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to
the Collateral for the sums due or to become due under any security, instrument or agreement which is part of the Collateral or
(ii) constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Notes or secured by this
Indenture (to the extent it relates to the obligation to make payments on the Notes) until such Collateral have been realized,
whereupon any outstanding indebtedness or obligation in respect of the Notes, this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents
shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter revive. It is further understood that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
shall not limit the right of any Person to name the Issuer or the Co-Issuer as a party defendant in any Proceeding or in the exercise
of any other remedy under the Notes or this Indenture, so long as no judgment in the nature of a deficiency judgment or seeking
personal liability shall be asked for or (if obtained) enforced against any such Person or entity.


 


(l)           Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, each Note delivered under this Indenture and upon registration of transfer
of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights of unpaid interest and principal that were carried by
such other Note.


 


(m)         Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing provisions with respect to payments of principal of and interest on the Notes (but subject to Sections 2.7(f)
and (i)), if the Notes have become or been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and such acceleration of Maturity
and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled and the provisions of Section 5.5 are not applicable, then payments
of principal of and interest on such Notes shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 hereof.


 


(n)          Payments
in respect of the Preferred Shares as contemplated by Sections 11.1(a)(i)(18), 11.1(a)(ii)(14) and 11.1(a)(iii)(17) shall
be made by the Paying Agent to the Preferred Share Paying Agent.


 


Section 2.8           Persons
Deemed Owners. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, and any
of their respective agents may treat as the owner of a Note the Person in whose name such Note is registered on the Notes Register
on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and interest and other amounts on such Note
and on any other date for all other purposes whatsoever (whether or not such Note is overdue), and none of the Note Administrator,
the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided,
however, that the Depository, or its nominee, shall be deemed the owner of the Global Notes, and owners of beneficial
interests in Global Notes will not be considered the owners of any Notes for the purpose of receiving notices. With respect to
the Preferred Shares, on any Payment Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Preferred Share Paying Agent the distributions thereon
for distribution to the Preferred Shareholders.


 




    	 	- 62 -	 



     


    

 


Section 2.9           Cancellation.
All Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer, exchange or redemption, or deemed lost or stolen, shall, upon delivery
to the Notes Registrar, be promptly canceled by the Notes Registrar and may not be reissued or resold. No Notes shall be authenticated
in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
All canceled Notes held by the Notes Registrar shall be destroyed or held by the Notes Registrar in accordance with its standard
retention policy. Notes of the most senior Class Outstanding that are held by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager
or any of their respective Affiliates (and not Notes of any other Class) may be submitted to the Notes Registrar for cancellation
at any time.


 


Section 2.10         Global
Notes; Definitive Notes; Temporary Notes.


 


(a)          Definitive
Notes. Definitive Notes shall only be issued in the following limited circumstances:


 


(i)          at
the discretion of the Issuer, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, with respect to any Class of Notes,


 


(ii)         upon
Transfer of Global Notes to an IAI or a QIB in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.5(e)(ii), Section 2.5(e)(iii)
or Section 2.5(e)(vi);


 


(iii)        if
a holder of a Definitive Note wishes at any time to exchange such Definitive Note for one or more Definitive Notes or transfer
such Definitive Note to a transferee who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note in accordance with this
Section 2.10, such holder may effect such exchange or transfer upon receipt by the Notes Registrar of (A) a Holder's
Definitive Note properly endorsed for assignment to the transferee, and (B) duly completed certificates in the form of Exhibit H-3,
upon receipt of which the Notes Registrar shall then cancel such Definitive Note in accordance herewith, record the transfer in
the Notes Register in accordance with Section 2.5(a) and upon execution by the Co-Issuers, the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Notes bearing the same designation as the Definitive Note endorsed for transfer,
registered in the names specified in the assignment described in clause (A) above, in principal amounts designated by the
transferee (the aggregate of such principal amounts being equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note surrendered
by the transferor);


 


(iv)        in
the event that the Depository notifies the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect
to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note or if at
any time such Depository ceases to be a "Clearing Agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository
is not appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice, the Global Notes deposited with the Depository pursuant
to Section 2.2 hereof shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof subject to the procedures and conditions set forth
in this Section 2.10.


 




    	 	- 63 -	 



     


    

 


(b)          Any
Global Note that is exchanged for a Definitive Note shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Note Administrator's Corporate
Trust Office together with necessary instruction for the registration and delivery of a Definitive Note to the beneficial owners
(or such owner's nominee) holding the ownership interests in such Global Note. Any such transfer shall be made, without charge,
and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate
principal amount of Definitive Notes of the same Class and authorized denominations. Any Definitive Notes delivered in exchange
for an interest in a Global Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.5(f), bear the applicable legend set forth
in Exhibit A-2, B-2, C-2, D-2, E-2 and F-2 as applicable and shall be subject to the transfer restrictions referred to in
such applicable legend. The Holder of each such registered individual Global Note may transfer such Global Note by surrendering
it at the Corporate Trust Office of the Note Administrator, or at the office of the Paying Agent.


 


(c)          Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.10(b) above, the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize
any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder
is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.


 


(d)          [Reserved]


 


(e)          In
the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.10(a) above, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall
promptly make available to the Notes Registrar a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.


 


Pending the preparation
of Definitive Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the
Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, may execute and, upon Issuer Order, the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in
any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Definitive Notes may determine,
as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Definitive Notes.


 


If temporary Definitive
Notes are issued, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause permanent Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
The Definitive Notes shall be printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, or provided by any combination thereof,
or in any other manner permitted by the rules and regulations of any applicable notes exchange, all as determined by the Officers
executing such Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive
Notes upon surrender of the applicable temporary Definitive Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer
for such purpose, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Definitive Note, the
Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes,
shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount
of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Section 2.11         U.S.
Tax Treatment of Notes and the Issuer.


 


(a)          Each
of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Notes (unless held by BSPRT or any entity
disregarded into BSPRT) be treated as debt and that the Issuer be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary (unless the Issuer has
received a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion). Each prospective purchaser and any subsequent transferee of a Note or any interest therein
shall, by virtue of its purchase or other acquisition of such Note or interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat such
Note in a manner consistent with the preceding sentence for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


 


(b)          The
Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall account for the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F
Notes, and prepare any reports to Noteholders and tax authorities consistent with the intentions expressed in Section 2.11(a)
above.


 


(c)          Each
Holder of Notes shall timely furnish to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or their respective agents any completed U.S. federal income
tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax
Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for the United
States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Entities)) IRS Form W-8IMY (Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow Through
Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification
Number and Certification), or IRS Form W-8ECI (Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim that Income is Effectively Connected
with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) or any successors to such IRS forms that the Issuer, the Co-Issuer
or their respective agents may reasonably request and shall update or replace such forms or certification in accordance with its
terms or its subsequent amendments. Furthermore, Noteholders shall timely furnish any information required pursuant to Section 2.7(d).


 


Section 2.12         Authenticating
Agents. Upon the request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to
the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, the Note Administrator shall, and if the Note Administrator so chooses the Note Administrator
may, pursuant to this Indenture, appoint one (1) or more Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the authentication of Notes in connection with issuance, transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
and 8.5 hereof, as fully to all intents and purposes as though each such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by
such Sections to authenticate such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication of Notes by an Authenticating
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication of Notes by the Note Administrator.


 




    	 	- 65 -	 



     


    

 


Any corporation or
banking association into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation or banking association resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall
be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of
such Authenticating Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such
Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Note Administrator, the Trustee, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer. The Note Administrator may at any time terminate
the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent, the Trustee, the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such a termination, the Note Administrator shall promptly
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer.


 


The Note Administrator
agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent appointed by it from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and reimbursement
for its reasonable expenses relating thereto and the Note Administrator shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject
to Section 6.7 hereof. The provisions of Sections 2.9, 6.4 and 6.5 hereof shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.


 


Section 2.13         Forced
Sale on Failure to Comply with Restrictions.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture, any transfer of a Note or interest therein to a U.S. Person who is determined
not to have been a QIB or an IAI at the time of acquisition of the Note or interest therein shall be null and void and any such
proposed transfer of which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator or the Trustee shall have written notice (which includes
via electronic mail) may be disregarded by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee for all purposes.


 


(b)          If
the Issuer determines that any Holder of a Note has not satisfied the applicable requirement described in Section 2.13(a)

shall have the right, without further notice to the Non-Permitted Holder, to sell such Note or interest therein to a purchaser
selected by the Issuer that is not a Non-Permitted Holder on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer, or a third party

professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Note, and selling such Note to the highest such bidder. However,
the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by it in its sole discretion. The Holder of such Note, the Non-Permitted
Holder and each other Person in the chain of title from the Holder to the Non-Permitted Holder, by its acceptance of an interest
in the Note, agrees to cooperate with the Issuer and the Note Administrator to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale,
net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to the Non-Permitted Holder. The
terms and conditions of any sale under this Section 2.13(b) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Issuer, and
the Issuer shall not be liable to any Person having an interest in the Note sold as a result of any such sale of exercise of such
discretion.

of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and the Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review, or examine
any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient,

recordable form (except to determine if the endorsement conforms to the requirements of Section 3.3(e)), whether any document
has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, to independently determine that any document
has actually been filed or recorded in the appropriate office, that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face,
or whether the title insurance policies relate to the Mortgaged Property.


 


(g)          No
later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall (i) deliver to the Issuer, with a copy to

or modifications thereto shall be delivered in electronic format, including Excel-compatible format) as to any remaining documents
that are required to be, but are not in the Mortgage Asset File and (ii) request that the Issuer cause such document deficiency
to be cured.

the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall return to the Custodian each Asset Document released from custody pursuant to this clause (iii)
within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt thereof (except such Asset Documents as are released in connection with a sale, exchange
or other disposition, in each case only as permitted under this Indenture, of the related Mortgage Asset that is consummated within

Section 5.2           Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


 


(a)          If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (other than the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g)),
the Trustee may (and shall at the direction of a Majority, by outstanding principal amount, of each Class of Offered Notes voting
as a separate Class (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates), or if no Class of Offered Notes
is outstanding, a majority by outstanding principal amount, of the Class E Notes or, if no Class of Offered Notes and no Class
E Notes are outstanding, a majority by outstanding principal amount, of the Class F Notes, declare the principal of and accrued
and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable (and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate
the Reinvestment Period). Upon any such declaration such principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and
other amounts payable thereunder in accordance with the Priority of Payments will become immediately due and payable. If an Event
of Default described in Section 5.1(f) or 5.1(g) above occurs, such an acceleration shall occur automatically and without
any further action, and any such acceleration shall automatically terminate the Reinvestment Period. If the Notes are accelerated,
payments shall be made in the order and priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) hereof.


 


(b)          At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration of Maturity of the Notes has been made, and before a judgment or decree for payment
of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each Class of
Offered Notes (voting as a separate Class), or if no Class of Offered Notes is outstanding, a majority by outstanding principal
amount, of the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, other than with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d),
5.1(f), 5.1(g), or 5.1(i), by written notice to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if:


 


(i)          the
Issuer or the Co-Issuer has paid or deposited with the Note Administrator a sum sufficient to pay:


 


(A)         all
unpaid installments of interest on and principal on the Notes that would be due and payable hereunder if the Event of Default giving
rise to such acceleration had not occurred;


 


(B)         all
unpaid taxes of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, Company Administrative Expenses and other sums paid or advanced by or otherwise due
and payable to the Note Administrator or to the Trustee hereunder;


 




    	 	- 84 -	 



     


    

 


(C)         with
respect to the Advancing Agent and the Backup Advancing Agent, any amount due and payable for unreimbursed Interest Advances and
Reimbursement Interest; and


 


(D)         with
respect to the Collateral Management Agreement, any Collateral Manager Fee then due and any Company Administrative Expense due
and payable to the Collateral Manager thereunder; and


 


(ii)         the
Trustee has received notice that all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the interest and principal on the Notes that
have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured and a Majority of the Controlling Class, by written notice to the
Trustee, has agreed with such notice (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or waived as provided in Section 5.14.


 


At any such time that
the Trustee, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as permitted hereinabove,
the Collateral shall be preserved in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 with respect to the Event of Default that
gave rise to such declaration; provided, however, that if such preservation of the Collateral is rescinded
pursuant to Section 5.5, the Notes may be accelerated pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5.2, notwithstanding
any previous rescission and annulment of a declaration of acceleration pursuant to this paragraph.


 


No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(c)          Subject
to Sections 5.4 and 5.5, a Majority of the Controlling Class shall have the right to direct the Trustee in the conduct of
any Proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee or in the sale of any or all of the Collateral; provided that (i) such
direction will not conflict with any rule of law or this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee may take any other action not inconsistent
with such direction; (iii) the Trustee has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it; and (iv) any direction
to undertake a sale of the Collateral may be made only as described in Section 5.17. The Trustee shall be entitled to refuse
to take any action absent such direction.


 


(d)          As
security for the payment by the Issuer of the compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, and any sums the
Trustee or Note Administrator shall be entitled to receive as indemnification by the Issuer, the Issuer hereby grants the Trustee
a lien on the Collateral, which lien is senior to the lien of the Noteholders. The Trustee's lien shall be subject to the Priority
of Payments and exercisable by the Trustee only if the Notes have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default and
such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled.


 


(e)          A
Majority of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes may, prior to the time a judgment or decree for the payment
of amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, waive any past Default on behalf of the holders of all the Notes and its consequences
in accordance with Section 5.14.

occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such
Proceedings (x) as directed by a Majority of the Controlling Class or (y) in the absence of direction by a Majority of
the Controlling Class, as determined by the Trustee acting in good faith; provided that (a) such direction must not

herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Any
direction to the Trustee to undertake a sale of Collateral shall be forwarded to the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer
shall conduct any such sale in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement.


 


In the case where (x) there
shall be pending Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code, any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar law enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
(y) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have
been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or their respective property, or (z) there shall be
any other comparable Proceedings relative to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or the creditors or property of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer,
regardless of whether the principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration, or otherwise

(i)          to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to
file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any

(ii)         unless
prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Noteholders in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee

in comparable Proceedings; and


 




    	 	- 87 -	 



     


    

 


(iii)        to
collect and receive (or cause the Note Administrator to collect and receive) any amounts or other property payable to or deliverable
on any such claims, and to distribute (or cause the Note Administrator to distribute) all amounts received with respect to the
claims of the Noteholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; the Secured Parties, and any trustee, receiver or liquidator, custodian
or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make payments to the Trustee (or the Note Administrator
on its behalf), and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay
to the Trustee and the Note Administrator such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and
the Note Administrator, each predecessor trustee and note administrator, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and
all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Backup Advancing Agent and each predecessor
backup advancing agent.


 


Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, vote for, accept or adopt, on behalf of any Noteholder, any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such Proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.


 


All rights of action
and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any action or Proceedings
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, shall
be applied as set forth in Section 5.7.


 


Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Trustee may not sell or liquidate the Collateral or institute Proceedings in furtherance

contemplated to be conducted by the Trustee under this Indenture shall be effected by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms
of the Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for or in connection with any such sale.


 


Section 5.4           Remedies.


 


(a)          If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Notes have been declared due and payable and such declaration and its
consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree that the Trustee, or, with respect to any
sale of any Mortgage Assets, the Special Servicer, may, after notice to the Note Administrator and the Noteholders, and shall,
upon direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class, to the extent permitted by applicable law, exercise one or more of the following
rights, privileges and remedies:


 


(i)          institute
Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes or otherwise payable under this Indenture (whether by declaration
or otherwise), enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Collateral any amounts adjudged due;


 


(ii)         sell
all or a portion of the Collateral or rights of interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in
any manner permitted by law and in accordance with Section 5.17 hereof (provided that any such sale shall be conducted
by the Special Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement);


 




    	 	- 88 -	 



     


    

 


(iii)        institute
Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;


 


(iv)        exercise
any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies
of the Secured Parties hereunder; and


 


(v)         exercise
any other rights and remedies that may be available at law or in equity;


 


provided, however, that
no sale or liquidation of the Collateral or institution of Proceedings in furtherance thereof pursuant to this Section 5.4
may be effected unless either of the conditions specified in Section 5.5(a) are met.


 


The Issuer shall, at
the Issuer's expense, upon request of the Trustee or the Special Servicer, obtain and rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment
banking firm as to the feasibility of any action proposed to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.4 and as to the sufficiency
of the proceeds and other amounts expected to be received with respect to the Collateral to make the required payments of principal
of and interest on the Notes and other amounts payable hereunder, which opinion shall be conclusive evidence as to such feasibility
or sufficiency.


 


(b)          If
an Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(e) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the
request of the Holders of not less than 25% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class shall, institute a Proceeding
solely to compel performance of the covenant or agreement or to cure the representation or warranty, the breach of which gave rise
to the Event of Default under such Section, and enforce any equitable decree or order arising from such Proceeding.


 


(c)          Upon
any Sale, whether made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, any Noteholder, Preferred Shareholder,
the Collateral Manager or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may bid for and purchase the Collateral or any part
thereof and, upon compliance with the terms of Sale, may hold, retain, possess or dispose of such property in its or their own
absolute right without accountability; and any purchaser at any such Sale may, in paying the purchase money, turn in any of the
Notes in lieu of Cash equal to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable on the Notes
so turned in by such Holder (taking into account the Class of such Notes). Such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon shall
be less than the amount due thereon, shall either be returned to the Holders thereof after proper notation has been made thereon
to show partial payment or a new note shall be delivered to the Holders reflecting the reduced interest thereon.


 


Upon any Sale, whether
made under the power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, the receipt of the Note Administrator or of the
Officer making a sale under judicial proceedings shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for
its or their purchase money and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obliged to see to the application thereof.


 




    	 	- 89 -	 



     


    

 


Any such Sale, whether
under any power of sale hereby given or by virtue of judicial proceedings, shall (x) bind the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee,
the Note Administrator, the Noteholders and the Preferred Shareholders, shall operate to divest all right, title and interest whatsoever,
either at law or in equity, of each of them in and to the property sold and (y) be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity,
against each of them and their successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming through or under them.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture or any other Transaction Document, none of the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator
or any other Secured Party, any other party to any Transaction Document, the Holder of the Notes and the holders of the equity
in the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or third party beneficiary of this Indenture may, prior to the date which is one year and one day,
or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to the laws of the Cayman
Islands) after the payment in full of all Notes, institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer,
the Co-Issuer or any Issuer Permitted Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, moratorium or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under federal or State bankruptcy or similar laws of any jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 5.4
shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Advancing Agent, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, or any other Secured Party or any
other party to any Transaction Document (i) from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year
and one day period, or, if longer, the applicable preference period then in effect (including any period established pursuant to
the laws of the Cayman Islands) period in (A) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer
or (B) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced by a Person other than the Trustee, the Note Administrator
or any other Secured Party or any other party to any Transaction Document, or (ii) from commencing against the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer or any of their respective properties any legal action which is not a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
moratorium or liquidation proceeding.


 


Section 5.5           Preservation
of Collateral.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding,
the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required under this Indenture)
retain the Collateral securing the Notes, collect and cause the collection of the proceeds thereof and make and apply all payments
and deposits and maintain all accounts in respect of the Collateral and the Notes in accordance with the Priority of Payments and
the provisions of Articles 10, 12 and 13 and shall not sell or liquidate the Collateral, unless either:


 


(i)          the
Note Administrator, pursuant to Section 5.5(c), determines that the anticipated proceeds of a sale or liquidation of the Collateral
(after deducting the reasonable expenses of such sale or liquidation) would be sufficient to discharge in full the amounts then
due and unpaid on the Notes, Company Administrative Expenses due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments, the Collateral
Manager Fees due and payable pursuant to the Priority of Payments and amounts due and payable to the Advancing Agent and the Backup
Advancing Agent, in respect of unreimbursed Interest Advances and Reimbursement Interest, for principal and interest, and, upon
receipt of information from Persons to whom fees and expenses are payable, all other amounts payable prior to payment of principal
on the Notes due and payable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) and the holders of a Majority of the Controlling Class agrees
with such determination; or


 




    	 	- 90 -	 



     


    

 


(ii)         a
Supermajority of each Class of Notes (each voting as a separate Class) directs the sale and liquidation of all or a portion of
the Collateral; or


 


(iii)        an
Event of Default as described in Section 5.1(j) occurs and is continuing, in which case the Collateral Manager shall promptly
proceed to liquidate the Collateral (or such portion of the Collateral as is necessary to cure such Event of Default).


 


In the event of a sale of all or a portion
of the Collateral pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall be required to sell that
portion of the Collateral identified by the requisite Noteholders and all proceeds of such sale shall be remitted to the Note Administrator
for distribution in the order set forth in Section 11.1(a). The Note Administrator shall give written notice of the retention
of the Collateral by the Custodian to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special
Servicer and the Rating Agencies. So long as such Event of Default is continuing, any such retention pursuant to this Section 5.5(a)
may be rescinded at any time when the conditions specified in clause (i) or (ii) above exist.


 


(b)          Nothing
contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require a sale of the Collateral securing the Notes if the conditions set
forth in Section 5.5(a) are not satisfied. Nothing contained in Section 5.5(a) shall be construed to require the Trustee
to preserve the Collateral securing the Notes if prohibited by applicable law.


 


(c)          In
determining whether the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists, the Collateral Manager shall obtain bid prices with
respect to each Mortgage Asset from two dealers (Independent of the Collateral Manager and any of its Affiliates) at the time making
a market in such Mortgage Assets that, at that time, engage in the trading, origination or securitization of whole loans or participations
similar to the Mortgage Assets (or, if only one such dealer can be engaged, then the Collateral Manager shall obtain a bid price
from such dealer or, if no such dealer can be engaged, from a pricing service). The Collateral Manager shall compute the anticipated
proceeds of sale or liquidation on the basis of the lowest of such bid prices for each such Mortgage Asset and provide the Trustee
and the Note Administrator with the results thereof. For the purposes of determining issues relating to the market value of any
Mortgage Asset and the execution of a sale or other liquidation thereof, the Special Servicer may, but need not, retain at the
expense of the Issuer and rely on an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm of national reputation or other appropriate
advisors (the cost of which shall be payable as a Company Administrative Expense) in connection with a determination as to whether
the condition specified in Section 5.5(a)(i) exists.


 




    	 	- 91 -

a report stating the results of any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i).


 


Section 5.6           Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or under any of the Notes
may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any trial
or other Proceeding relating thereto, and any such action or Proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
as trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment in respect of the Notes shall be applied as set forth in Section 5.7
hereof.


 


In any Proceedings
brought by the Trustee (and in any Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee
shall be a party) in respect of the Notes, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent all the Holders of the Notes.


 


Section 5.7           Application
of Amounts Collected. Any amounts collected by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article 5
and any amounts that may then be held or thereafter received by the Note Administrator with respect to the Notes hereunder shall
be applied subject to Section 13.1 hereof and in accordance with the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 11.1(a)(iii)
hereof, at the date or dates fixed by the Note Administrator.


 


Section 5.8           Limitation
on Suits. No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any Proceedings (the right of a Noteholder to institute
any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or the Notes is subject to any non-petition covenants set forth in the Indenture or
the Notes), judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee,
or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


 


(a)          such
Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default;


 


(b)          except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.9 hereof, the Holders of at least 25% of the then Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Controlling
Class shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute Proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;


 


(c)          the
Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such Proceeding;
and


 


(d)          no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 30-day period by a Majority of the Controlling
Class; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue
of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders
of Notes of the same Class or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of the Notes of the
same Class or to enforce any right under this Indenture or the Notes, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Notes of the same Class subject to and in accordance with Section 13.1 hereof
and the Priority of Payments.


 




    	 	- 92 -	 



     


    

 


In the event the Trustee
shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of the Controlling Class, each
representing less than a Majority of the Controlling Class, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action until it shall
have received the direction of a Majority of the Controlling Class.


 


Section 5.9           Unconditional
Rights of Noteholders to Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture (except for
Section 2.7(e) and 2.7(n)), the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment
of the principal of and interest on such Note as such principal, interest and other amounts become due and payable in accordance
with the Priority of Payments and Section 13.1, and, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 5.8 to institute Proceedings
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder; provided,
however, that the right of such Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of any such payment shall not
be subject to the 25% threshold requirement set forth in Section 5.8(b).


 


Section 5.10         Restoration
of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Noteholder, then (and in every such case) the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Noteholder shall, subject
to any determination in such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section 5.11         Rights
and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Note Administrator or to
the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.12         Delay
or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Noteholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon
any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein or a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. Every right and remedy given by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee,
or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, or by the Noteholders,
as the case may be.

Section 5.13         Control
by the Controlling Class. Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing when any of the Notes are Outstanding, a Majority of the Controlling
Class shall have the right to cause the institution of, and direct the time, method and place of conducting, any Proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee and for exercising any trust, right, remedy or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of
the Notes; provided that:


 


(a)          such
direction shall not conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;


 


(b)          the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however,
that, subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability
(unless the Trustee has received indemnity satisfactory to it against such liability as set forth below);


 


(c)          the
Trustee shall have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it; and


 


(d)          notwithstanding
the foregoing, any direction to the Trustee to undertake a Sale of the Collateral shall be performed by the Special Servicer on
behalf of the Trustee, and must satisfy the requirements of Section 5.5.


 


Section 5.14         Waiver
of Past Defaults. Prior to the time a judgment or decree for payment of the amounts due has been obtained by the Trustee, as
provided in this Article 5, a Majority of each and every Class of Notes (voting as a separate Class) may, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes, waive any past Default in respect of the Notes and its consequences, except a Default:


 


(a)          in
the payment of principal of any Note;


 


(b)          in
the payment of interest in respect of the Controlling Class;


 


(c)          in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof that, under Section 8.2, cannot be modified or amended without the waiver or consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Note adversely affected thereby; or


 


(d)          in
respect of any right, covenant or provision hereof for the individual protection or benefit of the Trustee or the Note Administrator,
without the Trustee's or the Note Administrator's express written consent thereto, as applicable.


 


In the case of any
such waiver, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their respective former
positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.


 


Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. Any
such waiver shall be effectuated upon receipt by the Trustee and the Note Administrator of a written waiver by such Majority of
each Class of Notes.


 




    	 	- 94 -	 



     


    

 


Section 5.15         Undertaking
for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture,
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by (x) the
Trustee, (y) any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Controlling Class or (z) any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on
any Note or any other amount payable hereunder on or after the Stated Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
the applicable Redemption Date).


 


Section 5.16         Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension
law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force (including but not limited to filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code and by the voluntary commencement of a proceeding or the filing of a petition seeking winding up, liquidation,
reorganization or other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect), which may affect the covenants, the performance of or any remedies under this Indenture;
and each of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage
of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 


Section 5.17         Sale
of Collateral.


 


(a)          The
power to effect any sale (a "Sale") of any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5 hereof
shall not be exhausted by any one or more Sales as to any portion of such Collateral remaining unsold, but shall continue unimpaired
until all amounts secured by the Collateral shall have been paid or if there are insufficient proceeds to pay such amount until
the entire Collateral shall have been sold. The Special Servicer may, upon notice to the Securityholders, and shall, upon direction
of a Majority of the Controlling Class, from time to time postpone any Sale by public announcement made at the time and place of
such Sale; provided, however, that if the Sale is rescheduled for a date more than three (3) Business Days
after the date of the determination by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof, such Sale shall not occur
unless and until the Special Servicer has again made the determination required by Section 5.5(a)(i) hereof. The Trustee hereby
expressly waives its rights to any amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale; provided that the Special Servicer
shall be authorized to deduct the reasonable costs, charges and expenses incurred by it, or by the Trustee or the Note Administrator
in connection with such Sale from the proceeds thereof notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.


 


(b)          The
Notes need not be produced in order to complete any such Sale, or in order for the net proceeds of such Sale to be credited against
amounts owing on the Notes.

(c)          The
Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of the Collateral
in connection with a Sale thereof, which, in the case of any Mortgage Assets, shall be upon request and delivery of any such instruments
by the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer, with respect to Mortgage Assets, and the Trustee, with respect to any
other Collateral, is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney in fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest
in any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take all action necessary to effect such Sale. No purchaser
or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound to ascertain the Trustee's or Special Servicer's authority, to inquire into the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent or to see to the application of any amounts.


 


(d)          In
the event of any Sale of the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.5, payments shall be made in the order and
priority set forth in Section 11.1(a) in the same manner as if the Notes had been accelerated.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any sale by the Trustee of any portion of the Collateral shall be executed by the Special Servicer
on behalf of the Issuer, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.


 


Section 5.18         Action
on the Notes. The Trustee's right to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected by
the application for or obtaining of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture
nor any rights or remedies of the Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Trustee against
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Collateral or upon any
of the Collateral of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer.

Duties and Responsibilities.


 


(a)          Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(i)          each
of the Trustee and the Note Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth in this Indenture,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee or the Note Administrator; and any
permissive right of the Trustee or the Note Administrator contained herein shall not be construed as a duty; and


 


(ii)         in
the absence of manifest error, or bad faith on its part, each of the Note Administrator and the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished
to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; provided,
however, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify
the party delivering the same if such certificate or opinion does not conform. If a corrected form shall not have been delivered
to the Trustee or the Note Administrator within 15 days after such notice from the Trustee or the Note Administrator, the
Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction

(b)          In
case an Event of Default actually known to the Trustee or the Note Administrator has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Note Administrator shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from a Majority of the Controlling Class (or other Noteholders
to the extent provided in Article 5 hereof), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use
the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such Person's own affairs.


 


(c)          If,
in performing its duties under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Note Administrator is required to decide between alternative
courses of action, the Trustee and the Note Administrator may request written instructions from the Collateral Manager as to courses
of action desired by it. If the Trustee and the Note Administrator does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days
after it has requested them, it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action. The Trustee and the
Note Administrator shall act in accordance with instructions received after such two (2) Business Day period except to the extent
it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions. The Trustee and the Note Administrator
shall be entitled to request and rely on the advice of legal counsel and Independent accountants in performing its duties hereunder
and be deemed to have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to any liability if it acts in accordance with such advice.

action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator
shall be liable:


 


(i)          for
any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proven that it was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; or

respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Issuer, the Collateral
Manager, and/or a Majority of the Controlling Class relating to the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or the Note Administrator in respect of any Note or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee or the Note Administrator under this Indenture.


 


(e)          No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Note Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur
any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers contemplated
hereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it unless such risk or liability relates to its ordinary services under this Indenture,
except where this Indenture provides otherwise.

base rate other than LIBOR (including, without limitation, whether the conditions for the designation of such rate have been satisfied).


 


(i)           For
all purposes under this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor the Note Administrator shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of

thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such an Event of Default or Default is received by the Trustee or
the Note Administrator, as applicable at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
For purposes of determining the Trustee's and Note Administrator's responsibility and liability hereunder, whenever reference is
made in this Indenture to such an Event of Default or a Default, such reference shall be construed to refer only to such an Event
of Default or Default of which the Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, is deemed to have notice as described in this
Section 6.1.


 


(j)           The
Trustee and the Note Administrator shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, permit the Issuer, the Collateral Manager and their

or extracts to be reimbursed to the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, by such Person).

Section 6.7           Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


(a)          The
Issuer agrees:


 


(i)          to
pay the Trustee and Note Administrator on each Payment Date in accordance with the Priority of Payments reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation
of a trustee or note administrator of an express trust);


 


(ii)         except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee, Custodian and Note Administrator in a timely manner upon its

in connection with its performance of its obligations under, or otherwise in accordance with any provision of this Indenture;


 


(iii)        to
indemnify the Trustee, Custodian or Note Administrator and its Officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold them

fees) for any collection action taken pursuant to Section 6.13 hereof.


 


(b)          The
Issuer may remit payment for such fees and expenses to the Trustee and Note Administrator or, in the absence thereof, the Note

of this Indenture.


 


(d)          The
Trustee and Note Administrator agree that the payment of all amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Sections 6.7(a)(i),

The Trustee and Note
Administrator shall receive amounts pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Section 11.1(a) only to the extent that such payment
is made in accordance with the Priority of Payments and the failure to pay such amounts to the Trustee and Note Administrator will
not, by itself, constitute an Event of Default. Subject to Section 6.9, the Trustee and Note Administrator shall continue
to serve under this Indenture notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee and Note Administrator shall not have received amounts
due to it hereunder; provided that the Trustee and Note Administrator shall not be required to expend any funds or incur
any expenses unless reimbursement therefor is reasonably assured to it. No direction by a Majority of the Controlling Class shall
affect the right of the Trustee and Note Administrator to collect amounts owed to it under this Indenture.


 


If on any Payment Date,
an amount payable to the Trustee and Note Administrator pursuant to this Indenture is not paid because there are insufficient funds
available for the payment thereof, all or any portion of such amount not so paid shall be deferred and payable on any later Payment
Date on which sufficient funds are available therefor in accordance with the Priority of Payments.

or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.8, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6.8, the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 6.

the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Noteholders, the Note Administrator (in the case of the Trustee),
the Trustee (in the case of the Note Administrator), and the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer

by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and an Authorized Officer of the Co-Issuer,
one copy of which shall be delivered to the Note Administrator or the Trustee so resigning and one copy to the successor Note Administrator,
the Collateral Manager, Trustee or Trustees, together with a copy to each Noteholder, the Servicer, the parties hereto and the
Rating Agencies; provided that such successor Note Administrator and Trustee shall be appointed only upon the written consent
of a Majority of the Notes (or if there are no Notes Outstanding, a Majority of Preferred Shareholders) or, at any time when an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or when a successor Note Administrator and Trustee has been appointed pursuant
to Section 6.10, by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class. If no successor Note Administrator and Trustee shall have
been appointed and an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee or the Note Administrator within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or
Note Administrator, as the case may be, the Controlling Class of Notes or any Holder of a Note, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor
Note Administrator, as the case may be. No resignation or removal of the Note Administrator or the Trustee and no appointment of
a successor Note Administrator or Trustee will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Note Administrator
or Trustee, as applicable.


 


(c)          The
Note Administrator and Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of a Supermajority of the Notes (or if there are no Notes Outstanding,
a Majority of Preferred Shareholders) or when a successor Trustee has been appointed pursuant to Section 6.10, by Act of a
Majority of the Controlling Class, in each case, upon written notice delivered to the parties hereto.


 


(d)          If
at any time:


 


(i)          the
Trustee or the Note Administrator shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, or by any Holder; or


 


(ii)         the
Trustee or the Note Administrator shall become incapable of acting or there shall be instituted any proceeding pursuant to which
it could be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or the Note Administrator or of its respective
property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Note Administrator or of its
respective property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;


 


then, in any such case (subject to Section 6.9(a)),
(a) the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, by Issuer Order, may remove the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, or (b) subject
to Section 5.15, a Majority of the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as the case may be, and
the appointment of a successor thereto.


 




    	 	- 104 -	 



     


    

 


(e)          If
the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of the Trustee or the Note Administrator for any reason, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, by Issuer Order, subject to the written
consent of the Collateral Manager, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, and the successor
Trustee or Note Administrator so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
or the successor Note Administrator, as the case may be. If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall fail to appoint a successor Trustee
or Note Administrator within 30 days after such resignation, removal or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee or Note Administrator may be appointed by Act of a Majority of the Controlling Class delivered to the Collateral
Manager and the parties hereto, including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the
successor Trustee or Note Administrator so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
Trustee or Note Administrator, as applicable, and supersede any successor Trustee or Note Administrator proposed by the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer. If no successor Trustee or Note Administrator shall have been so appointed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or
a Majority of the Controlling Class and shall have accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 5.15,
the Controlling Class or any Holder may, on behalf of itself or himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or Note Administrator.


 


(f)           The
Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall give prompt notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee or Note Administrator and
each appointment of a successor Trustee or Note Administrator by mailing written notice of such event by first class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Rating Agencies, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Collateral Manager, the parties hereto, and to the Holders
of the Notes as their names and addresses appear in the Notes Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee
or Note Administrator, as the case may be, and the address of its respective Corporate Trust Office. If the Issuer or the Co-Issuer
fail to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, the successor
Trustee or Note Administrator shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may
be.


 


(g)          The
resignation or removal of the Note Administrator in any capacity in which it is serving hereunder, including Note Administrator,
Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, Calculation Agent, Transfer Agent, Custodian, Securities Intermediary, Backup Advancing Agent
and Notes Registrar, shall be deemed a resignation or removal, as applicable, in each of the other capacities in which it serves.

Section 6.10         Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee or Note Administrator appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Collateral Manager, the Servicer, and the parties hereto including the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator,
as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment. Upon delivery of the required instruments, the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee or the retiring Note Administrator shall become effective and such successor Trustee or Note Administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of
the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the case may be; but, on request of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer or a Majority of
the Controlling Class, the Collateral Manager or the successor Trustee or Note Administrator, such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator
shall, upon payment of its fees, indemnities and other amounts then unpaid, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee or Note Administrator all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee or Note Administrator, as the
case may be, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all property and amounts
held by such retiring Trustee or Note Administrator hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 6.7(d).
Upon request of any such successor Trustee or Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall execute any and all instruments
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee or Note Administrator all such rights, powers
and trusts.

the requirements set forth in Section 6.8, and (c) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.


 


Section 6.11         Merger,

or banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Note Administrator, shall
be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of
the Trustee or the Note Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, hereunder;
provided that with respect to the Trustee, such corporation or banking association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article 6, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case any of the Notes have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Note Administrator then in office, any successor by
merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Note Administrator may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Note Administrator had itself authenticated such Notes.


 


Section 6.12         Co-Trustees
and Separate Trustee. At any time or times, including for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction
in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Trustee shall have power to appoint,

such proofs of claim and take such other actions pursuant to Section 5.6 herein and to make such claims and enforce such rights
of action on behalf of the Holders of the Notes as such Holders themselves may have the right to do, subject to the other provisions
of this Section 6.12.


 


Each of the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer shall join with the Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary
or proper to appoint a co-trustee. If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer do not both join in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by them of a request to do so, the Trustee shall have power to make such appointment on its own.


 




    	 	- 106 -	 



     


    

 


Should any written
instrument from the Issuer or the Co-Issuer be required by any co-trustee, so appointed, more fully confirming to such co-trustee
such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by
the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be. The Issuer agrees to pay (but only from and to the extent of the Collateral) to
the extent funds are available therefor under the Priority of Payments, for any reasonable fees and expenses in connection with
such appointment.


 


Every co-trustee, shall,
to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms:


 


(a)          all
rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, Cash and other personal property held

jointly in the case of the appointment of a co-trustee as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent
or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed
by a co-trustee;


 


(c)          the
Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the concurrence of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer evidenced
by an Issuer Order, may accept the resignation of, or remove, any co-trustee appointed under this Section 6.12, and in case
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any
such co-trustee without the concurrence of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer. A successor to any co-trustee so resigned or removed may
be appointed in the manner provided in this Section 6.12;


 


(d)          no
co-trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Trustee hereunder, and any co-trustee hereunder
shall be entitled to all the privileges, rights and immunities under Article 6 hereof, as if it were named the Trustee hereunder;
and


 


(e)          any
Act of Securityholders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each co-trustee.

Governing Documents of the Trustee; and


 


(d)          there
are no proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Trustee, threatened against the Trustee before any Federal, state or
other governmental agency, authority, administrator or regulatory body, arbitrator, court or other tribunal, foreign or domestic,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Collateral or the performance by the Trustee of its obligations under this Indenture
or the Servicing Agreement.


 


Section 6.15         Representations
and Warranties of the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator represents and warrants for the benefit of the other parties
to this Indenture and the parties to the Servicing Agreement that:


 


(a)          the
Note Administrator is a national banking association with trust powers, duly and validly existing under the laws of the United
States of America, with corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Indenture and

Section 6.17         Withholding.


 


(a)          If
any amount is required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any Noteholder or payee, such amount shall reduce the amount
otherwise distributable to such Noteholder or payee. The Note Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold or deduct from amounts
otherwise distributable to any Noteholder or payee sufficient funds for the payment of any tax that is legally required to be withheld
or deducted (but such authorization shall not prevent the Note Administrator from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings
and legally withholding payment of such tax, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed
with respect to any Noteholder or payee shall be treated as Cash distributed to such Noteholder or payee at the time it is deducted
or withheld by the Issuer or the Note Administrator, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there
is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution, the Note Administrator may in its sole discretion
withhold such amounts in accordance with this Section 6.17. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer agree to timely provide to the Trustee
accurate and complete copies of all documentation received from Noteholders or payee pursuant to Sections 2.7(c) and 2.11(c)

of the Note Administrator to determine the amount of any tax or withholding obligation on the part of the Issuer or in respect
of the Notes.

the avoidance of doubt, the Note Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with Issuer, at Issuer's direction and expense, to permit
Issuer to fulfill its obligations under FATCA (including Cayman FATCA legislation); provided that the Note Administrator
shall have no independent obligation to cause or maintain Issuer's compliance with FATCA and shall have no liability for any withholding
on payments to Issuer as a result of Issuer's failure to achieve or maintain FATCA compliance.

Section 7.1           Payment
of Principal and Interest. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to
the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, shall duly and punctually pay the principal of and interest on each Class of Notes in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Amounts properly withheld under the Code or other applicable law by any Person from
a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer,
with respect to the Offered Notes and by the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes and the Preferred Shares
for all purposes of this Indenture.


 


The Note Administrator
shall, unless prevented from doing so for reasons beyond its reasonable control, give notice to each Securityholder of any such
withholding requirement no later than ten days prior to the related Payment Date from which amounts are required (as directed by
the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) to be withheld; provided that, despite the failure of the Note Administrator
to give such notice, amounts withheld pursuant to applicable tax laws shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer and
the Co-Issuer, as provided above.


 


Section 7.2           Maintenance
of Office or Agency. The Co-Issuers, with respect to the Offered Notes, and the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and
the Class F Notes, hereby appoint the Note Administrator as a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes and where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and the Issuer hereby appoints Corporation Service
Company in New York, New York, as its agent where notices and demands to or upon the Co-Issuer in respect of the Offered Notes
or this Indenture, or the Issuer in respect of the Notes or this Indenture, may be served.


 


The Issuer may at any
time and from time to time vary or terminate the appointment of any such agent or appoint any additional agents for any or all
of such purposes; provided, however, that the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be
served, and, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency outside of the United States where Notes
may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, further, that no paying agent shall be appointed in
a jurisdiction which subjects payments on the Notes to withholding tax. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee,
the Note Administrator, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders of the appointment or termination of any such agent and of the
location and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

If at any time the
Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or outside
the United States, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee and the Note Administrator with the address thereof, presentations and
surrenders may be made (subject to the limitations described in the preceding paragraph) at and notices and demands may be served
on the Issuer and Co-Issuer and Notes may be presented and surrendered for payment to the appropriate Paying Agent at its main
office and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby appoint the same as their agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.


 


Section 7.3           Amounts
for Note Payments to be Held in Trust.


 


(a)          All
payments of amounts due and payable with respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment Account
shall be made, with respect to the Offered Notes, on behalf of the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, or, with respect to the Class E Notes
and the Class F Notes, on behalf of the Issuer by the Note Administrator or a Paying Agent (in each case, from and to the extent
of available funds in the Payment Account and subject to the Priority of Payments) with respect to payments on the Notes.


 


When the Paying Agent
is not also the Notes Registrar, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes, or the Issuer, with respect to
the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, shall furnish, or cause the Notes Registrar to furnish, no later than the fifth calendar
day after each Record Date a list, if necessary, in such form as such Paying Agent may reasonably request, of the names and addresses
of the Holders of Notes and of the certificate numbers of individual Notes held by each such Holder together with wiring instructions,
contact information, and such other information reasonably required by the paying agent.


 


Whenever the Paying
Agent is not also the Note Administrator, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, and such Paying Agent shall, on or before the Business Day
next preceding each Payment Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be, direct the Note Administrator to deposit on such Payment
Date with such Paying Agent, if necessary, an aggregate sum sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture (to the extent funds are then available for such purpose in the Payment Account, and subject to the Priority
of Payments), such sum to be held for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto and (unless such Paying Agent is the Note Administrator)
the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of its action or failure so to act. Any amounts deposited
with a Paying Agent (other than the Note Administrator) in excess of an amount sufficient to pay the amounts then becoming due
on the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made shall be paid over by such Paying Agent to the Note Administrator for
application in accordance with Article 11. Any such Paying Agent shall be deemed to agree by assuming such role not to cause
the filing of a petition in bankruptcy against the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Permitted Subsidiary for the nonpayment to the
Paying Agent of any amounts payable thereto until at least one year and one day (or, if longer, the applicable preference period
then in effect) after the payment in full of all Notes issued under this Indenture.


 




    	 	- 111 -	 



     


    

 


The initial Paying
Agent shall be as set forth in Section 7.2. Any additional or successor Paying Agents shall be appointed by Issuer Order of
the Issuer and Issuer Order of the Co-Issuer and at the sole cost and expense (including such Paying Agent's fee) of the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer, with written notice thereof to the Note Administrator; provided, however, that so long
as any Class of the Notes are rated by a Rating Agency and with respect to any additional or successor Paying Agent for the Notes,
either (i) such Paying Agent has a long-term unsecured debt rating of "Aa3" or higher by Moody's and a short-term
debt rating of "P-1" by Moody's or (ii) each of the Rating Agencies confirms that employing such Paying Agent shall
not adversely affect the then-current ratings of the Notes. In the event that such successor Paying Agent ceases to have a long-term
debt rating of "Aa3" or higher by Moody's and a short-term debt rating of at least "P-1" by Moody's, the Issuer
and the Co-Issuer shall promptly remove such Paying Agent and appoint a successor Paying Agent. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall
not appoint any Paying Agent that is not, at the time of such appointment, a depository institution or trust company subject to
supervision and examination by federal and/or state and/or national banking authorities. The Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall cause
the Paying Agent other than the Note Administrator to execute and deliver to the Note Administrator an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Note Administrator (and if the Note Administrator acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees),
subject to the provisions of this Section 7.3, that such Paying Agent will:


 


(i)          allocate
all sums received for payment to the Holders of Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;


 


(ii)         hold
all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein
provided;


 


(iii)        if
such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Note Administrator
all sums held by it for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to satisfy the standards set forth above required to be met
by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;


 


(iv)        if
such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator, immediately give the Note Administrator notice of any Default by the Issuer or
the Co-Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment required to be made; and


 


(v)         if
such Paying Agent is not the Note Administrator at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request
of the Note Administrator, forthwith pay to the Note Administrator all sums so held by such Paying Agent.


 


The Issuer or the Co-Issuer
may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Issuer Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Note Administrator all sums held by the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or held
by the Paying Agent for payment of the Notes, such sums to be held by the Note Administrator in trust for the same Noteholders
as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying
Agent to the Note Administrator, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such amounts.


 




    	 	- 112 -	 



     


    

 


Except as otherwise
required by applicable law, any amounts deposited with the Note Administrator in trust or deposited with the Paying Agent for the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment of such amounts and all liability of the Note Administrator or the Paying Agent with
respect to such amounts (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as applicable) shall thereupon
cease. The Note Administrator or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such release of payment, may, but shall not
be required to, adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, as the case may be, any reasonable means of notification
of such release of payment, including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such release to Holders whose Notes have been called
but have not been surrendered for redemption or whose right to or interest in amounts due and payable but not claimed is determinable
from the records of the Paying Agent, at the last address of record of each such Holder.


 


Section 7.4           Existence
of the Issuer and Co-Issuer.


 


(a)          So
long as any Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, maintain in full force and
effect its existence and rights as an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands
and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which
such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or any of
the Collateral; provided that the Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction of registration from the Cayman Islands
to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Issuer so long as (i) such change is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes or the Preferred Shares, (ii) it delivers written notice of such change to the Note Administrator
for delivery to the Holders of the Notes or Preferred Shares, the Preferred Share Paying Agent and the Rating Agencies and (iii) on
or prior to the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of such notice by the Note Administrator to the Noteholders, the
Note Administrator shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class or a Majority of Preferred Shareholders
objecting to such change. So long as any Rated Notes are Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain at all times at least one director
who is Independent of the Collateral Manager and its Affiliates.


 


(b)          So
long as any Note is Outstanding, the Co-Issuer shall maintain in full force and effect its existence and rights as a limited liability
company organized under the laws of Delaware and shall obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited
liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualifications are or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability
of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that the Co-Issuer shall be entitled to change its jurisdiction
of formation from Delaware to any other jurisdiction reasonably selected by the Co-Issuer so long as (i) such change is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes, (ii) it delivers written notice of such change to the
Note Administrator for delivery to the Holders of the Notes and the Rating Agencies and (iii) on or prior to the fifteenth
(15th) Business Day following such delivery of such notice by the Note Administrator to the Noteholders, the Note Administrator
shall not have received written notice from a Majority of the Controlling Class objecting to such change. So long as any Rated
Notes are Outstanding, the Co-Issuer will maintain at all times at least one director who is Independent of the Collateral Manager
and its Affiliates.


 




    	 	- 113 -	 



     


    

 


(c)          So
long as any Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall ensure that all corporate or other formalities regarding its existence are followed
(including correcting any known misunderstanding regarding its separate existence). So long as any Note is Outstanding, the Issuer
shall not take any action or conduct its affairs in a manner that is likely to result in its separate existence being ignored or
its Collateral and liabilities being substantively consolidated with any other Person in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other
insolvency proceeding. So long as any Note is Outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating
procedures reasonably necessary in the performance of the Issuer's obligations hereunder, and the Issuer shall at all times keep
and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, separate books, records, accounts and other information customarily maintained
for the performance of the Issuer's obligations hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, so long as any Note is Outstanding,
(i) the Issuer shall (A) pay its own liabilities only out of its own funds and (B) use separate stationery, invoices
and checks, (C) hold itself out and identify itself as a separate and distinct entity under its own name; (D) not commingle
its assets with assets of any other Person; (E) hold title to its assets in its own name; (F) maintain separate financial
statements, showing its assets and liabilities separate and apart from those of any other Person and not have its assets listed
on any financial statement of any other Person; provided, however, that the Issuer's assets may be included
in a consolidated financial statement of its Affiliate; provided that (1) appropriate notation shall be made on such
consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of the Issuer from such Affiliate and to indicate that the Issuer's
assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of such Affiliate or any other Person and (2) such
assets shall also be listed on the Issuer's own balance sheet; (G) not guarantee any obligation of any Person, including any
Affiliate or become obligated for the debts of any other Person or hold out its credit or assets as being available to satisfy

or beneficial owner, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under
the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such Note by such Holder or beneficial owner. "Rule 144A Information"
shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision
thereto). The Note Administrator shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer in mailing or otherwise distributing
(at the Issuer's expense) to such Noteholders or prospective purchasers, at and pursuant to the Issuer's and/or the Co-Issuer's
written direction the foregoing materials prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer; provided, however,
that the Note Administrator shall be entitled to prepare and affix thereto or enclose therewith reasonable disclaimers to
the effect that such Rule 144A Information was not assembled by the Note Administrator, that the Note Administrator has not
reviewed or verified the accuracy thereof, and that it makes no representation as to such accuracy or as to the sufficiency of
such information under the requirements of Rule 144A or for any other purpose.


 


Section 7.14         Calculation
Agent.


 


(a)          The
Issuer and the Co-Issuer hereby agree that for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding there shall at all times be an agent appointed
to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the terms of Schedule B attached hereto (the
"Calculation Agent"). The Issuer and the Co-Issuer initially have appointed the Note Administrator as Calculation
Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Accrual Period. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Issuer at
any time. The Calculation Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral
Manager, the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed
by the Issuer in respect of any Interest Accrual Period, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation
Agent a leading bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does
not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Issuer or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign
its duties without a successor having been duly appointed. If no successor Calculation Agent shall have been appointed within 30 days
after giving of a notice of resignation, the resigning Calculation Agent or a Majority of the Holders of the Notes, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation
Agent.

(b)          The
Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination
Date (as defined in Schedule B attached hereto), but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the London
Banking Day immediately following each LIBOR Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall calculate LIBOR for the next Interest
Accrual Period and will communicate such information to the Note Administrator, who shall include such calculation on the next
Monthly Report following such LIBOR Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and the Collateral
Manager before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each LIBOR Determination Date if it has not determined and is not in the process
of determining LIBOR and the Interest Distribution Amounts for each Class of Notes, together with the reasons therefor. The determination
of the Note Interest Rates and the related Interest Distribution Amounts, respectively, by the Calculation Agent shall, absent
manifest error, be final and binding on all parties.


 


Section 7.15         REIT
Status.


 


(a)          BSPRT
shall not take any action that results in the Issuer failing to qualify as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of BSPRT for federal income
tax purposes, unless (A) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of a REIT
other than BSPRT, or (B) based on an Opinion of Counsel, the Issuer will be treated as a foreign corporation that is not engaged
in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


 


(b)          Without
limiting the generality of this Section 7.15, if the Issuer is no longer a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, prior to the time that:


 


(i)          any
Mortgage Asset would cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject
to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis;


 


(ii)         the
Issuer would acquire or receive any asset in connection with a workout or restructuring of a Mortgage Asset that could cause the
Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income
basis;


 


(iii)        the
Issuer would acquire the real property underlying any Mortgage Asset pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure;
or


 


(iv)        any
Mortgage Loan is modified in such a manner that could cause the Issuer to be treated as engaged in a trade or business in the United
States or to become subject to U.S. federal tax on a net income basis,


 


the Issuer will either (x) organize
one or more Permitted Subsidiaries and contribute the subject property to such Permitted Subsidiary, (y) contribute such Mortgage
Asset to an existing Permitted Subsidiary, or (z) sell such Mortgage Asset in accordance with Section 12.1.


 




    	 	- 125 -	 



     


    

 


(c)          At
the direction of 100% of the Preferred Shareholders (including any party that will become the beneficial owner of 100% of the Preferred
Shares because of a default under any financing arrangement for which the Preferred Shares are security), the Issuer may operate
as a foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
provided that (i) the Issuer receives a No Entity-Level Tax Opinion; (ii) this Indenture and the Servicing Agreement,
as applicable, are amended or supplemented (A) to adopt written tax guidelines governing the Issuer's origination, acquisition,
disposition and modification of Mortgage Loans designed to prevent the Issuer from being treated as engaged in a trade or business
in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (B) to form one or more "grantor trusts" to the hold
Mortgage Loans and (C) to implement any other provisions deemed necessary (as determined by the tax counsel providing the
opinion) to prevent the Issuer from being treated as a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in the United States
for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise becoming subject to U.S. federal withholding tax or U.S. federal income tax on
a net income basis; (iii) the Preferred Shareholder shall pay the administrative and other costs related to the Issuer converting
from a Qualified REIT Subsidiary to operating as a foreign corporation, including the costs of any opinions and amendments; and
(iv) the Preferred Shareholder agrees to pay any ongoing expenses related to the Issuer's status as a foreign corporation
not engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including but not limited to U.S.
federal income tax filings required by the Issuer, the "grantor trusts" or any taxable subsidiaries or required under
FATCA.


 


Section 7.16         Permitted
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall,
following delivery of an Issuer Order to the parties hereto, be permitted to sell or transfer to a Permitted Subsidiary at any
time any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting entirely of the equity interests of such Permitted Subsidiary (or for an
increase in the value of equity interests already owned). Such Issuer Order shall certify that the sale of a Sensitive Asset is
being made in accordance with satisfaction of all requirements of this Indenture. The Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request
for Release with respect to a Sensitive Asset, release such Sensitive Asset and shall deliver such Sensitive Asset as specified
in such Request for Release. The following provisions shall apply to all Sensitive Asset and Permitted Subsidiaries:


 


(a)          For
all purposes under this Indenture, any Sensitive Asset transferred to a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as if it were an
asset owned directly by the Issuer.


 


(b)          Any
distribution of Cash by a Permitted Subsidiary to the Issuer shall be characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds
to the same extent that such Cash would have been characterized as Interest Proceeds or Principal Proceeds if received directly
by the Issuer and each Permitted Subsidiary shall cause all proceeds of and collections on each Sensitive Asset owned by such Permitted
Subsidiary to be deposited into the Payment Account.


 


(c)          To
the extent applicable, the Issuer shall form one or more Securities Accounts with the Securities Intermediary for the benefit of
each Permitted Subsidiary and shall, to the extent applicable, cause Sensitive Asset to be credited to such Securities Accounts.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the complete and absolute transfer of a Sensitive Asset to a Permitted Subsidiary, the ownership interests of the Issuer in a Permitted
Subsidiary or any property distributed to the Issuer by a Permitted Subsidiary shall be treated as a continuation of its ownership
of the Sensitive Asset that was transferred to such Permitted Subsidiary (and shall be treated as having the same characteristics
as such Sensitive Asset).


 




    	 	- 126 -	 



     


    

 


(e)          If
the Trustee, or any other authorized party takes any action under this Indenture to sell, liquidate or dispose of all or substantially
all of the Collateral, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on its behalf) shall cause each Permitted Subsidiary to sell each
Sensitive Asset and all other Collateral held by such Permitted Subsidiary and distribute the proceeds of such sale, net of any
amounts necessary to satisfy any related expenses and tax liabilities, to the Issuer in exchange for the equity interest in such
Permitted Subsidiary held by the Issuer.


 


Section 7.17         Repurchase
Requests. If the Issuer, the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or the Special Servicer
receives any request or demand that a Mortgage Asset be repurchased or replaced arising from any Material Breach of a representation
or warranty made with respect to such Mortgage Asset or any Material Document Defect (any such request or demand, a "Repurchase
Request") or a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request from any Person other than the Servicer or Special Servicer, then the
Collateral Manager (on behalf of the Issuer), the Trustee or the Note Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly forward such
notice of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, to the Servicer (if related to a Performing
Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: "This is a "[Repurchase
Request]/[withdrawal of a Repurchase Request]" under Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement relating to BSPRT 2018-FL3
Issuer, Ltd. and BSPRT 2018-FL3 Co-Issuer, LLC, requiring action from you as the "Repurchase Request Recipient" thereunder."
Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Collateral Manager, the Servicer or Special
Servicer pursuant to the prior sentence, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to be the Repurchase
Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal of a Repurchase Request, as the case may be, and shall be
responsible for complying with the procedures set forth in Section 3.19 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to such Repurchase
Request.


 


Section 7.18         Purchase
of Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets. The Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall, prior to the Ramp-Up Completion
Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to apply amounts on deposit in the Unused Proceeds Account to purchase Ramp-Up Mortgage
Assets in accordance with Section 10.4(d) (which shall be, and hereby are, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting
Clause of this Indenture) for inclusion in the Collateral upon receipt by the Trustee of an Issuer Order or trade confirmation
executed by the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) with respect thereto directing the Trustee to pay out
the amount specified therein against delivery of the Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets specified therein and a certificate of an Authorized
Officer of the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager) (which certification shall be deemed to be made upon delivery of a trade confirmation
or Issuer Order), dated as of the trade date, and delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the date of such purchase and Grant,
to the effect that after giving effect to such purchase and Grant of the Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets, the Eligibility Criteria are
met with respect to the Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets purchased. Any Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset acquired during the Ramp-Up Acquisition Period
shall satisfy the applicable Eligibility Criteria and may be acquired so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.


 


Section 7.19         Ramp-Up
Completion Date Actions.


 


(a)          The
Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, Note Administrator and the
Rating Agencies on the Ramp-Up Completion Date an amended Schedule A listing all Mortgage Assets granted to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 7.18 on or before the Ramp-Up Completion Date and included in the Collateral on the Ramp-Up Completion Date, which
schedule shall supersede any prior Schedule A delivered to the Trustee.


 




    	 	- 127 -	 



     


    

 


(b)          Within
30 Business Days after the Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer shall provide, or (at the Issuer’s expense) cause the Collateral
Manager to provide to the Rating Agencies, the Note Administrator and the Trustee, the following documents: (A) a report of the
Note Administrator (x) confirming the name of the borrower, the unpaid Principal Balance, coupon and maturity date with respect
to each Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset owned by the Issuer as of the Ramp-Up Completion Date, and (y) confirming that, as of the Ramp-Up
Completion Date, the Note Protection Tests were satisfied (the "Ramp-Up Completion Date Report") and (B) a certificate
of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer (x) certifying the satisfaction of the items set forth in clause (A) above, and
the receipt of an accountants’ report specifying the agreed-upon procedures performed, at the request of the Issuer, on the
items set forth in the Ramp-Up Completion Date Report and (y) certifying that each Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset satisfied all of the
Eligibility Criteria applicable to Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets. If the Ramp-Up Completion Date Report provided by the Collateral Manager
confirms that the immediately foregoing clause (A) have been met and the certificate of the Collateral Manager detailed in clause
(B) has been delivered, then a confirmation from Moody's of the ratings assigned by Moody's to the Notes on the Closing Date will
be deemed to have been provided. If, within such 30 Business Day period the Issuer, or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the
Issuer, (1) fails to provide the items described in foregoing clauses (A) and (B), or (2) any rating assigned by Moody's as of
the Closing Date to any Class of Notes has been downgraded or withdrawn or KBRA does not provide written confirmation of any rating
assigned by KBRA as of the Closing Date for any Class of Notes (which confirmation may take the form of a press release or other
written communication) on or before the later of the 30th Business Day after the Ramp-Up Completion Date and the 10th Business
Day following the receipt by KBRA of the items described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), a "Rating Confirmation Failure"
shall occur; provided that Issuer Parent or an Issuer Parent Disregarded Entity may contribute additional Cash, Eligible
Investments and/or Mortgage Assets to the Issuer in accordance with Section 12.2(c) of this Agreement, for purposes of avoiding
a Rating Confirmation Failure. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Manager’s certificate described in the foregoing
clause (B) shall not include the Accountants’ Report.


 


Section 7.20         Servicing
of Mortgage Loans and Control of Servicing Decisions. The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by the Servicer or, with respect
to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, subject to the consultation,
consent and direction rights of the Collateral Manager, as set forth in the Servicing Agreement, subject to those conditions, restrictions
or termination events expressly provided therein. Nothing in this Indenture shall be interpreted to limit in any respect the rights
of the Collateral Manager under the Servicing Agreement and none of the Issuer, Co-Issuer, Note Administrator and Trustee shall
take any action under the Indenture inconsistent with the Collateral Manager's rights set forth under the Servicing Agreement.

Section 7.21         ABS
Due Diligence Services. If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection
with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Mortgage Assets (any such party, a
"Due Diligence Service Provider"), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E
to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Website. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Website

indenture to provide for the Notes of each Class to bear interest based on an alternative base rate other than LIBOR from and after
a Payment Date specified in such supplemental indenture and to make other amendments to effectuate such change (including any applicable
spread adjustments on the Notes); provided that no such supplemental indenture shall become effective unless there shall
have occurred (i) satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect thereto and, (ii) unless the alternative base rate is
the Designated Successor Benchmark Rate, approval by a majority of each Class of outstanding Notes, following delivery to each
Noteholder of not less than 60 days prior notice of such supplemental indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, absence of objection
by a 50% or more in outstanding principal amount of any Class of Notes for a period of 60 days following delivery to it of such
prior notice shall be deemed, for all purposes of the Indenture, to constitute consent by a majority or more of such Class of Noteholders.
"Designated Successor Benchmark Rate" means an industry benchmark rate that the Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee
is comparable to LIBOR and generally accepted in the financial markets as the sole or predominant replacement benchmark to LIBOR.


 


Section 8.2          Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Securityholders. Except as set forth below, the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Co-Issuers

the provisions of, this Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the Holders of any Class of Notes or the Preferred Shares
under this Indenture only (x) with the written consent of the Holders of at least Majority in Aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Notes of each Class materially and adversely affected thereby (excluding any Notes owned by the Collateral Manager or any
of its Affiliates) and the Holder of Preferred Shares if materially and adversely affected thereby, by Act of said Securityholders
delivered to the Trustee, the Note Administrator and the Co-Issuers, and (y) subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition, notice of which may be in electronic form. The Note Administrator shall provide (x) fifteen (15) Business Days'
notice of such change to the Holders of each Class of Notes and the Holder of the Preferred Shares, requesting notification by
such Noteholders and Holders of the Preferred Shares if any such Noteholders or Holders of the Preferred Shares would be materially
and adversely affected by the proposed supplemental indenture and (y) following such initial fifteen (15) Business Day period,
the Note Administrator shall provide an additional fifteen (15) Business Days' notice to any holder of Notes or Preferred Shares
that did not respond to the initial notice. Unless the Note Administrator is notified (after giving such initial fifteen (15) Business
Days' notice and a second fifteen (15) Business Days' notice, as applicable) by Holders of at least a Majority in Aggregate Outstanding
Amount (excluding any Notes held by the Collateral Manager or its Affiliates or by any accounts managed by them) of the Notes of
any Class that such Class of Notes or a Majority of Preferred Shareholders will be materially and adversely affected by the proposed
supplemental indenture (and upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate of the Collateral Manager), the interests of such Class and
the interests of the Preferred Shares will be deemed not to be materially and adversely affected by such proposed supplemental
indenture and the Trustee will be permitted to enter into such supplemental indenture. Such determinations shall be conclusive
and binding on all present and future Noteholders. The consent of the Holders of the Preferred Shares shall be binding on all present
and future Holders of the Preferred Shares.


 






    	 	- 132 -	 



     


    

 


Without the consent of
(x) all of the Holders of each Outstanding Class of Notes materially adversely affected and (y) all of the Holders of
the Preferred Shares materially adversely affected thereby, no supplemental indenture may:


 


(a)          change
the Stated Maturity Date of the principal of or the due date of any installment of interest on any Note, reduce the principal amount
thereof or the Note Interest Rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect to any Note, change the date of any scheduled distribution
on the Preferred Shares, or the Redemption Price with respect thereto, change the earliest date on which any Note may be redeemed
at the option of the Issuer, change the provisions of this Indenture that apply proceeds of any Collateral to the payment of principal
of or interest on Notes or of distributions to the Preferred Share Paying Agent for the payment of distributions in respect of
the Preferred Shares or change any place where, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or the principal thereof or interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
Date thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the applicable Redemption Date);


 


(b)          reduce
the percentage of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of Holders of Notes of each Class or the Notional Amount of Preferred Shares

Section 8.3           Execution
of Supplemental Indentures. In executing or accepting the additional trusts created by any supplemental indenture permitted
by this Article 8 or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Note Administrator and Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been satisfied.
The Note Administrator and Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects
its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


 


The Servicer and Special
Servicer will be bound to follow any amendment or supplement to this Indenture of which it has received written notice at least
ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplement; provided, however, that
with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Servicer or Special Servicer adversely
affect the Servicer or Special Servicer, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be bound (and the Issuer agrees
that it will not permit any such amendment to become effective) unless the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, gives written
consent to the Note Administrator, the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Note Administrator
shall give written notice to the Servicer and Special Servicer of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In

with respect to any amendment or supplement to this Indenture which may, in the judgment of the Collateral Manager adversely affect
the Collateral Manager, the Collateral Manager, as applicable, shall not be bound (and the Issuer agrees that it will not permit

the Trustee and the Issuer to such amendment. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall give written notice to the
Collateral Manager of any amendment made to this Indenture pursuant to its terms. In addition, the Collateral Manager's written

At the cost of the Issuer,
the Note Administrator shall provide to each Noteholder, each holder of Preferred Shares and, for so long as any Class of Notes
shall remain Outstanding and is rated, the Note Administrator shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies
a copy of any proposed supplemental indenture at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the execution thereof by the Note Administrator,
and following execution shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider and the Rating Agencies a copy of the executed supplemental
indenture.


 


The Trustee shall not enter
into any such supplemental indenture (i) if such action would adversely affect the tax treatment of the Holders of the Notes
as described in the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" to any material
extent or otherwise cause any of the statements described in the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Certain U.S. Federal
Income Tax Considerations" to be inaccurate or incorrect to any material extent, and (ii) unless the Trustee and the
Note Administrator has received an Opinion of Counsel from Clifford Chance US LLP or other nationally recognized U.S. tax counsel
experienced in such matters that the proposed supplemental indenture will not cause the Issuer to be treated as a foreign corporation
that is engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustee and the Note Administrator
shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the receipt of notice from the Rating Agencies or the Requesting Party, which may be in
electronic form, that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied and (ii) receipt of an Opinion of Counsel forwarded to
the Trustee and Note Administrator certifying that, following provision of notice of such supplemental indenture to the Noteholders
and holders of the Preferred Shares, that the Holders of Securities would not be materially and adversely affected by such supplemental
indenture. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all present and future Holders of Securities. Neither the Trustee
nor the Note Administrator shall be liable for any such determination made in good faith and in reliance upon such Opinion of Counsel,
as the case may be.


 


It shall not be necessary
for any Act of Securityholders under this Section 8.3 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture,
but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Promptly after the execution
by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.3,
the Note Administrator, at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail to the Securityholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the
Servicer, the Special Servicer and, so long as the Notes are Outstanding and so rated, the Rating Agencies a copy thereof based
on an outstanding rating. Any failure of the Trustee and the Note Administrator to publish or mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 8.4          Effect
of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 8, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes and every
Holder of Notes theretofore and thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder, and every Holder of Preferred Shares, shall be
bound thereby.


 


Section 8.5          Reference
in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant
to this Article 8 may, and if required by the Note Administrator shall, bear a notice in form approved by the Note Administrator
as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, with respect to the Offered Notes,
or the Issuer, with respect to the Class E Notes and the Class F Notes, shall so determine, new Notes, so modified as to conform
in the opinion of the Note Administrator and the Issuer and the Co-Issuer to any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared and
executed by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Note Administrator in exchange for Outstanding
Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be subject to the terms and provisions

direction of the Collateral Manager up to the Business Day prior to the scheduled Redemption Date by written notice to the Note
Administrator, the Trustee, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Holder of Notes to be
redeemed, and the Collateral Manager (only if the Collateral Manager is unable to deliver the sale agreement or agreements or certifications
referred to in Section 9.1(e), as the case may be). The failure of any Optional Redemption, Clean-up Call or Tax Redemption
that is withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture shall not constitute an Event of Default.

of Redemption or Maturity. Notice of redemption (or a withdrawal thereof) or Clean-up Call pursuant to Section 9.1 or
the Maturity of any Notes shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than ten (10) Business Days (or

to be redeemed, at its address in the Notes Register.

applicable Redemption Date;


 


(b)          the

place or places where such Notes to be redeemed in whole are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price which shall
be the office or agency of the Paying Agent as provided in Section 7.2.


 


Notice of redemption shall
be given by the Issuer and Co-Issuer, or at their request, by the Note Administrator in their names, and at the expense of the
Issuer. Failure to give notice of redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or affect the validity
of the redemption of any other Notes.


 


Section 9.4          Notes
Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption
Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer
shall Default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest thereon) the Notes shall cease to bear interest on the
Redemption Date. Upon final payment on a Note to be redeemed, the Holder shall present and surrender such Note at the place specified
in the notice of redemption on or prior to such Redemption Date; provided, however, that if there is delivered
to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Note Administrator and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold
each of them harmless and an undertaking thereafter to surrender such Note, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note
Administrator and the Trustee that the applicable Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, such final payment shall
be made without presentation or surrender. Payments of interest on Notes of a Class to be so redeemed whose Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(g).


 


If any Note called for
redemption shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the applicable Note Interest Rate for each successive Interest Accrual Period the Note remains Outstanding.


 


Section 9.5          Mandatory
Redemption. On any Payment Date on which the Note Protection Tests are not satisfied as of any Determination Date, the Offered
Notes shall be redeemed (a "Mandatory Redemption"), from Interest Proceeds as set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i)(10)
and, to the extent necessary after application of Interest Proceeds, Principal Proceeds pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(ii)(1), in
an amount necessary, and only to the extent necessary, for the Note Protection Tests to be satisfied. On or promptly after such
Mandatory Redemption, the Issuer shall certify or cause to be certified to the Rating Agencies and the Note Administrator whether

as the "Expense Reserve Account," which shall be held in trust in the name of the Note Administrator for the benefit
of the Secured Parties and over which the Note Administrator shall have exclusive control and the sole right of withdrawal. The
only permitted withdrawal from or application of funds on deposit in, or otherwise standing to the credit of, the Expense Reserve
Account shall be to pay (on any day other than a Payment Date), accrued and unpaid Company Administrative Expenses (other than
accrued and unpaid expenses and indemnities payable to the Collateral Manager under the Collateral Management Agreement); provided
that the Note Administrator shall be entitled (but not required) without liability on its part, to refrain from making any
such payment of a Company Administrative Expense on any day other than a Payment Date if, in its reasonable determination, taking
into account the Priority of Payments, the payment of such amounts is likely to leave insufficient funds available to pay in full
each of the items payable prior thereto in the Priority of Payments on the next succeeding Payment Date. Amounts credited to the
Expense Reserve Account may be applied on or prior to the Determination Date preceding the first Payment Date to pay amounts due
in connection with the offering of the Notes. On or after the first Payment Date, any amount remaining in the Expense Reserve Account
may, at the election of the Collateral Manager, be designated as Interest Proceeds. On the date on which all or substantially all
of the Issuer's assets have been sold or otherwise disposed of, the Issuer by Issuer Order executed by an Authorized Officer of
the Collateral Manager shall direct the Note Administrator to, and upon receipt of such Issuer Order, the Note Administrator shall,
transfer all amounts on deposit in the Expense Reserve Account to the Payment Account for application pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i)
as Interest Proceeds.


 


(b)          On
each Payment Date, the Collateral Manager may designate Interest Proceeds (in an amount not to exceed U.S.$100,000 on such Payment
Date) after application of amounts payable pursuant to clauses (1) through (9) of Section 11.1(a)(i) for deposit
into the Expense Reserve Account.


 


(c)          The
Note Administrator agrees to give the Issuer and the Collateral Manager prompt notice if it becomes aware that the Expense Reserve
Account or any funds on deposit therein, or otherwise to the credit of the Expense Reserve Account, becomes subject to any writ,
order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process. The Issuer shall have no legal, equitable or beneficial interest
in the Expense Reserve Account other than in accordance with the Priority of Payments. The Expense Reserve Account shall remain
at all times an Eligible Account.

(d)          The
Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, may direct the Note Administrator to, and upon such direction the Note Administrator
shall, invest all funds in the Expense Reserve Account in Eligible Investments designated by the Collateral Manager. All interest
and other income from such investments shall be deposited in the Expense Reserve Account, any gain realized from such investments
shall be credited to the Expense Reserve Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the Expense
Reserve Account. The Note Administrator shall not in any way be held liable (except as a result of negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith) by reason of any insufficiency of such Expense Reserve Account resulting from any loss relating to any such investment,
except with respect to investments in obligations of the Note Administrator or any Affiliate thereof. If the Note Administrator
does not receive written investment instructions from an Authorized Officer of the Collateral Manager, funds in the Expense Reserve
Account shall be held uninvested.


 


Section 10.6         [Reserved]


 


Section 10.7         Interest
Advances.


 


(a)          With
respect to each Payment Date for which the sum of Interest Proceeds and, if applicable, Principal Proceeds, collected during the
related Due Period and remitted to the Note Administrator that are available to pay interest on the Offered Notes in accordance
with the Priority of Payments, are insufficient to remit the interest due and payable with respect to the Offered Notes on such
Payment Date as a result of interest shortfalls on the Mortgage Assets (or the application of interest received on the Mortgage
Assets to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement) (the amount of such insufficiency, an "Interest
Shortfall"), the Note Administrator shall provide the Advancing Agent with email notice of such Interest Shortfall no
later than the close of business on the second (2nd) Business Day preceding such Payment Date, at the following addresses: Crefinance@provequity.com,
or such other email address as provided by the Advancing Agent to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator shall provide
the Advancing Agent with additional email notice, prior to any funding of an Interest Advance by the Advancing Agent, of any additional
interest remittances received by the Note Administrator after delivery of such initial notice that reduces such Interest Shortfall.
No later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Payment Date, the Advancing Agent shall
advance the difference between such amounts (each such advance, an "Interest Advance") by deposit of an amount
equal to such Interest Advance in the Payment Account, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Advancing Agent as described
in Section 10.7(b), and subject to a maximum limit in respect of any Payment Date equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate
of such Interest Shortfalls that would otherwise occur on the Offered Notes on such Payment Date and (ii) the aggregate of
the interest payments not received in respect of Mortgage Assets with respect to such Payment Date (including, for such purpose,
interest payments received on the Mortgage Assets but applied to pay certain expenses in accordance with the terms of the Servicing
Agreement).


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no circumstance will the Advancing Agent be required to make an Interest Advance in respect of a Mortgage Asset to the extent
that the aggregate outstanding amount of all unreimbursed Interest Advances would exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Offered Notes. In addition, in no event will the Advancing Agent or Backup Advancing Agent be required to advance any payments
in respect of principal of any Mortgage Asset. Any Interest Advance made by the Advancing Agent with respect to a Payment Date
that is in excess of the actual Interest Shortfall for such Payment Date shall be refunded to the Advancing Agent by the Note Administrator
on the related Payment Date (or, if such Interest Advance is made prior to final determination by the Note Administrator of such
Interest Shortfall, on the Business Day of such final determination).


 






    	 	- 144 -	 



     


    

 


The Advancing Agent shall
provide the Note Administrator written notice of a determination by the Advancing Agent that a proposed Interest Advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related
Payment Date. If the Advancing Agent shall fail to make any required Interest Advance by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Business Day preceding the Payment Date upon which distributions are to be made pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(i), the Collateral
Manager shall remove the Advancing Agent in its capacity as advancing agent hereunder as required under Section 17.5(d) and
the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the
Business Day preceding the Payment Date, subject to a determination of recoverability by the Backup Advancing Agent as described
in Section 10.7(b). Based upon available information at the time, the Backup Advancing Agent or the Advancing Agent or the
Collateral Manager, as applicable, will provide fifteen (15) days prior notice to the Rating Agencies if recovery of a Nonrecoverable
Interest Advance would result in an Interest Shortfall on the next succeeding Payment Date. No later than the close of business
on the Determination Date related to a Payment Date on which the recovery of a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance would result in
an Interest Shortfall, the Special Servicer will provide the Rating Agencies notice of such recovery.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, neither the Advancing Agent nor the Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, shall be required to
make any Interest Advance unless such Person determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith that such Interest Advance,
or such proposed Interest Advance, plus interest expected to accrue thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, will not be a Nonrecoverable
Interest Advance. In determining whether any proposed Interest Advance will be, or whether any Interest Advance previously made
is, a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, will take into account:


 


(i)          amounts
that may be realized on each Mortgaged Property in its "as is" or then-current condition and occupancy;


 


(ii)         the
potential length of time before such Interest Advance may be reimbursed and the resulting degree of uncertainty with respect to
such reimbursement; and


 


(iii)        the
possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, and


 


(iv)        the
fact that Interest Advances are intended to provide liquidity only and not credit support to the Holders of the Notes.


 






    	 	- 145 -	 



     


    

 


For purposes of any such
determination of whether an Interest Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, an Interest Advance
will be deemed to be nonrecoverable if the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, determines that future
Interest Proceeds and Principal Proceeds may be ultimately insufficient to fully reimburse such Interest Advance, plus interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate within a reasonable period of time. The Backup Advancing Agent will be entitled to conclusively
rely on any affirmative determination by the Advancing Agent that an Interest Advance would have been a Nonrecoverable Interest
Advance. Absent bad faith, the determination by the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent, as applicable, as to the nonrecoverability
of any Interest Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Offered Notes.


 


(c)          Each
of the Advancing Agent and the Backup Advancing Agent may recover any previously unreimbursed Interest Advance made by it (including
any Nonrecoverable Interest Advance), together with interest thereon, first, from Interest Proceeds and second (to
the extent that there are insufficient Interest Proceeds for such reimbursement), from Principal Proceeds to the extent that such
reimbursement would not trigger an additional Interest Shortfall; provided that if at any time an Interest Advance is determined
to be a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent shall be entitled to recover all outstanding
Interest Advances from the Collection Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement on any Business Day during any Interest Accrual
Period prior to the related Determination Date. The Advancing Agent shall be permitted (but not obligated) to defer or otherwise
structure the timing of recoveries of Nonrecoverable Interest Advances in such manner as the Advancing Agent determines is in the
best interest of the Holders of the Notes, as a collective whole, which may include being reimbursed for Nonrecoverable Interest
Advances in installments.


 


(d)          The
Advancing Agent and the Backup Advancing Agent will each be entitled with respect to any Interest Advance made by it (including
Nonrecoverable Interest Advances) to interest accrued on the amount of such Interest Advance for so long as it is outstanding at
the Reimbursement Rate.


 


(e)          The
obligations of the Advancing Agent and the Backup Advancing Agent to make Interest Advances in respect of the Mortgage Assets will
continue through the Stated Maturity Date, unless the Notes are previously redeemed or repaid in full.


 


(f)           In
no event will the Advancing Agent, in its capacity as such hereunder, or the Note Administrator, in its capacity as Backup Advancing
Agent hereunder, be required to advance any amounts in respect of payments of principal of any Mortgage Asset.


 


(g)          In
consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set
forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments, to the extent funds are available therefor, the Advancing Agent Fee. For
so long as BSPRT Operating Partnership (or any of its Affiliates) (i) is the Advancing Agent and (ii) any of its affiliates
owns the Preferred Shares, BSPRT Operating Partnership hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, to waive its rights
to receive the Advancing Agent Fee and any Reimbursement Interest. In consideration of the performance of its obligations hereunder,
the Backup Advancing Agent shall be entitled to receive, at the times set forth herein and subject to the Priority of Payments,
to the extent funds are available therefor, the Backup Advancing Agent Fee. If the Advancing Agent fails to make an Interest Advance
required by this Indenture with respect to a Payment Date, (x) the Advancing Agent shall be in default of its obligations under
this Indenture, (y) the Backup Advancing Agent shall be required to make such Interest Advance and shall be entitled to receive,
in consideration thereof, the Advancing Agent Fee (in lieu of the Backup Advancing Agent Fee) in accordance with the Priority of
Payments and (z) the Trustee may and, at the direct of a majority of the Controlling Class, will be required to, terminate the
Advancing Agent and use commercially reasonable efforts for up to 90 days following such termination to replace the Advancing Agent
with a successor advancing agent that satisfies the requirements set forth in this Indenture. If the Advancing Agent is terminated
for failing to make an Interest Advance hereunder (as provided in Section 16.5(d)) (or for failing to make a Servicing Advance
under the Servicing Agreement) that the Advancing Agent did not determine to be nonrecoverable, any applicable subsequent successor
advancing agent will be entitled to receive the Advancing Agent Fee (plus Reimbursement Interest on any Interest Advance
made by the applicable subsequent successor advancing agent).


 






    	 	- 146 -	 



     


    

 


(h)          The
determination by the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent (in its capacity as successor Advancing Agent), as applicable,
(i) that it has made a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance (together with Reimbursement Interest thereon) or (ii) that any
proposed Interest Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Interest Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
delivered promptly to the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Rating Agencies, setting forth the basis for such
determination; provided that failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity
of, or the Advancing Agent or the Backup Advancing Agent, entitlement to reimbursement with respect to, any Interest Advance.


 


Section 10.8        Reports
by Parties. The Note Administrator shall supply, in a timely fashion, to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and
the Collateral Manager any information regularly maintained by the Note Administrator that the Issuer, the Trustee, the Special
Servicer, the Servicer or the Collateral Manager may from time to time request in writing with respect to the Collateral or the
Indenture Accounts and provide any other information reasonably available to the Note Administrator by reason of its acting as
Note Administrator hereunder and required to be provided by Section 10.9 or to permit the Collateral Manager to perform its
obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement. The Note Administrator shall forward to the Collateral Manager copies of
notices and other writings received by it from the borrower with respect to any Mortgage Asset advising the holders of such Mortgage
Asset of any rights that the holders might have with respect thereto as well as all periodic financial reports received from such
borrower with respect to such borrower. Each of the Issuer, the Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall promptly forward to the
Collateral Manager, the Trustee and the Note Administrator any information in their possession or reasonably available to them
concerning any of the Collateral that the Trustee or the Note Administrator reasonably may request or that reasonably may be necessary
to enable the Note Administrator to prepare any report or to enable the Trustee or the Note Administrator to perform any duty or
function on its part to be performed under the terms of this Indenture.

Section 10.13       Investor
Q&A Forum; Investor Registry.


 


(a)          The
Note Administrator shall make the "Investor Q&A Forum" available to Privileged Persons and prospective purchasers
of Notes by means of the Note Administrator's Website, where Noteholders (including beneficial owners of Notes) may (i) submit
inquiries to the Note Administrator relating to the Monthly Reports, and submit inquiries to the Servicer or the Special Servicer
(each, a "Q&A Respondent") relating to any servicing reports prepared by that party, the Mortgage Assets,
or the properties related thereto (each, an "Inquiry" and collectively, "Inquiries"), and (ii) view
Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for a
Q&A Respondent, the Note Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the applicable Q&A Respondent, in each case via email
within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Note Administrator
and the applicable Q&A Respondent, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to
the Inquiry, which reply of the applicable Q&A Respondent shall be by email to the Note Administrator. The Note Administrator
shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be)
such Inquiry and the related answer to the Note Administrator's Website. If the Note Administrator or the applicable Q&A Respondent
determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is not of a type described above, (ii) answering
any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Issuer or the Noteholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation
of applicable law, the Asset Documents, this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially
increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable or (v) answering any such inquiry would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of an attorney
client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, or is otherwise not advisable to answer, it shall not be required
to answer such Inquiry and shall promptly notify the Note Administrator of such determination. The Note Administrator shall notify
the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry shall not be answered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Any notice by the Note Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that shall not be answered shall include
the following statement: "Because the Indenture and the Servicing Agreement provides that the Note Administrator, Servicer
and Special Servicer shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry
is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Indenture, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests
of the Issuer and/or the Noteholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the Asset Documents,
this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in
significant additional cost or expense to, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (v) answering
any such inquiry would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of an attorney client privilege or the disclosure of attorney
work product, or is otherwise not advisable to answer, no inference shall be drawn from the fact that the Trustee, the Servicer
or the Special Servicer has declined to answer the Inquiry." Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum shall be attributable
only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the
Placement Agents or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Placement Agents, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Seller, the
Collateral Manager, the Advancing Agent, the Future Funding Indemnitor, BSPRT Holder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Note
Administrator or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates shall certify to any of the information posted in the Investor
Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Note Administrator
shall not be required to post to the Note Administrator's Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Note Administrator determines,
in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum shall not reflect questions, answers
and other communications that are not submitted via the Note Administrator's Website. Additionally, the Note Administrator may
require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Q&A Forum.

(b)          The
Note Administrator shall make available to any Noteholder or holder of Preferred Shares and any beneficial owner of a Note, the
Investor Registry. The "Investor Registry" shall be a voluntary service available on the Note Administrator's
Website, where Noteholders and beneficial owners of Notes can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other
Noteholder or beneficial owner that has so registered. Any Person registering to use the Investor Registry shall be required to
certify that (i) it is a Noteholder, a beneficial owner of a Note or a holder of a Preferred Share and (ii) it grants
authorization to the Note Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least
45 days from the date of such certification to other registered Noteholders and registered beneficial owners or Notes. Such
Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual's name, the company name and email address,
as well as certain optional fields such as address, and phone number. If any Noteholder or beneficial owner of a Note notifies
the Note Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45)
days of its registration), the Note Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Note Administrator shall
not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise
maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Note Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for
access to the Investor Registry.


 


(c)          Certain
information concerning the Collateral and the Notes, including the Monthly Reports, CREFC® Reports and supplemental

Report, (ii) submit inquiries to the Servicer or the Special Servicer relating to servicing reports, or the Collateral, except
to the extent already obtained, (iii) submit requests for loan-level reports and information, and (iv) view previously
submitted inquiries and related answers or reports, as the case may be. The Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to answer each inquiry, unless it determines that (a) answering the inquiry
would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement or the applicable loan
documents, (b) answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege
or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (c) answering the inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result
in significant additional cost or expense to, such party, and the performance of such additional duty or the payment of such additional
cost or expense is beyond the scope of its duties under the Indenture or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. In the event that
any of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer declines to answer an inquiry, it shall promptly
email the 17g-5 Information Provider with the basis of such declination. The 17g-5 Information Provider will be required to post
the inquiries and the related answers (or reports, as applicable) on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request
Tool promptly upon receipt, or in the event that an inquiry is unanswered, the inquiry and the basis for which it was unanswered.
The Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer Document Request Tool may not reflect questions, answers, or other communications
which are not submitted through the 17g-5 Website. Answers and information posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Servicer
Document Request Tool will be attributable only to the respondent, and will not be deemed to be answers from any other Person.
No such other Person will have any responsibility or liability for, and will not be deemed to have knowledge of, the content of
any such information.

(i)          to
an entity, other than the Collateral Manager or an affiliate;


 


(ii)         to
the Collateral Manager or an affiliate thereof that is purchasing such Credit Risk Mortgage Asset or Defaulted Mortgage Asset from

or otherwise dispose of any Mortgage Asset for the primary purpose of recognizing gains or decreasing losses resulting from market
value changes.


 


(c)          A
Defaulted Mortgage Asset or Credit Risk Mortgage Asset may be disposed of at any time, following disclosure to, and approval by,
the Advisory Committee, by the Collateral Manager directing the Issuer to exchange such Defaulted Mortgage Asset or Credit Risk
Mortgage Asset for (1) a substitute Mortgage Asset owned by an Affiliate of the Collateral Manager that satisfies the Eligibility
Criteria (such Mortgage Asset, an "Exchange Mortgage Asset") or (2) a combination of an Exchange Mortgage
Asset and cash; provided that:


 


(i)          the
sum of (1) the Principal Balance of such Exchange Mortgage Asset plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus
(2) the Cash amount (if any) to be paid to the Issuer by such Affiliate of the Collateral Manager in connection with such
exchange, is equal to or greater than the sum of the Principal Balance of the Credit Risk Mortgage Asset or Defaulted Mortgage
Asset sought to be exchanged plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon; and


 


(ii)         the
Aggregate Principal Balance of all Credit Risk Mortgage Assets subject to such exchange cumulatively from the Closing Date, including

Mortgage Assets as of the Closing Date.


 


In addition to the above,
at all times the Majority of the Preferred Shares shall have an assignable right to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Asset or any
Credit Risk Mortgage Asset (in each case, other than the Fixed Rate Closing Date Mortgage Asset), in each case for a purchase price
equal to the Par Purchase Price, provided that, with respect to any such purchase of a Credit Risk Mortgage Asset, the Credit
Risk Sale Limitation is satisfied.


 


(d)          After
the Issuer has notified the Trustee of an Optional Redemption, a Clean-Up Call, an Auction Call Redemption or a Tax Redemption
in accordance with Section 9.3, the Collateral Manager, on behalf of the Issuer, and acting pursuant to the Collateral Management
Agreement, may at any time direct the Trustee in writing by Issuer Order to sell, and the Trustee shall sell in the manner directed
by the Majority of Preferred Shareholders in writing, any Mortgage Asset without regard to the foregoing limitations in Section 12.1(a);
provided that:


 


(i)          the
Sale Proceeds therefrom must be used to pay certain expenses and redeem all of the Notes in whole but not in part pursuant to Section 9.1,
and upon any such sale the Trustee shall release such Mortgage Asset pursuant to Section 10.12;


 






    	 	- 164 -	 



     


    

 


(ii)         the
Issuer may not direct the Trustee to sell (and the Trustee shall not be required to release) a Mortgage Asset pursuant to this
Section 12.1(b) unless:


 


(1)       the
Collateral Manager certifies to the Trustee that, in the Collateral Manager's reasonable business judgment based on calculations
included in the certification (which shall include the sales prices of the Mortgage Assets), the Sale Proceeds from the sale of
one or more of the Mortgage Assets and all Cash and proceeds from Eligible Investments will be at least equal to the Total Redemption
Price; and


 


(2)       the
Independent accountants appointed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 10.13 shall recalculate the calculations made in clause (1)
above and prepare an agreed-upon procedures report; and

to be sold pursuant to this Section 12.1(c) must be sold in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 9.1(f).


 


(e)          In
the event that any Notes remain Outstanding as of the Payment Date occurring six months prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the
Notes, the Collateral Manager will be required to determine whether the proceeds expected to be received on the Mortgage Assets
prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes will be sufficient to pay in full the principal amount of (and accrued interest
on) the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date. If the Collateral Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such proceeds will
not be sufficient to pay the outstanding principal amount of and accrued interest on the Notes on the Stated Maturity Date of the
Notes, the Issuer will, at the direction of the Collateral Manager, be obligated to liquidate the portion of Mortgage Assets sufficient
to pay the remaining principal amount of and interest on the Notes on or before the Stated Maturity Date. The Mortgage Assets to
be liquidated by the Issuer will be selected by the Collateral Manager.

anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall be permitted to sell to a Permitted Subsidiary
any Sensitive Asset for consideration consisting of equity interests in such Permitted Subsidiary (or an increase in the value
of equity interests already owned).

no circumstances shall the Trustee in its individual capacity be required to acquire any Mortgage Assets or any property related
thereto.

as provided in Section 12.3(c), during the Reinvestment Period (or within 60 days after the end of the Reinvestment Period
with respect to reinvestments made pursuant to binding commitments to purchase entered into during the Reinvestment Period), amounts
(or Eligible Investments) credited to the Reinvestment Account may, but are not required to, be reinvested in Reinvestment Mortgage
Assets (which shall be, and hereby are upon acquisition by the Issuer, Granted to the Trustee pursuant to the Granting Clause of
this Indenture) that satisfy the applicable Eligibility Criteria and the following additional criteria (the "Reinvestment
Criteria"), as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate of the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer delivered to the
Trustee, delivered as of the date of the commitment to purchase such Reinvestment Mortgage Assets:


 






    	 	- 165 -	 



     


    

 


(i)          for
commitments to purchase made after the Ramp-Up Acquisition Period, the Note Protection Tests are satisfied; and


 


(ii)         for
commitments to purchase made at any time, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

the foregoing provisions, (i) Cash on deposit in the Reinvestment Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pending

Mortgage Asset may be acquired unless it was the subject of a commitment entered into by the Issuer prior to the occurrence of
such Event of Default.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, at any time when BSPRT Holder or an Affiliate that is wholly-owned by BSPRT and is a disregarded entity
for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds 100% of the Class E Notes, the Class F Notes and the Preferred Shares, it may contribute
additional Cash, Eligible Investments and/or Mortgage Assets to the Issuer so long as, in the case of Mortgage Assets, any such
Mortgage Assets satisfy the Eligibility Criteria at the time of such contribution, including, but not limited to, for purposes
of effecting any cure rights reserved for the holder of the Participations, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
related Participation Agreement. Cash or Eligible Investments contributed to the Issuer by BSPRT Holder (during the Reinvestment
Period) shall be credited to the Reinvestment Account (unless BSPRT Holder directs otherwise) and may be reinvested by the Issuer
in Reinvestment Mortgage Assets so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


 


Section 12.3         Conditions
Applicable to all Transactions Involving Sale or Grant.

transaction effected after the Closing Date under this Article 12 or Section 10.12 shall be conducted in accordance with
the requirements of the Collateral Management Agreement; provided that (1) the Collateral Manager shall not direct
the Trustee to acquire any Mortgage Asset for inclusion in the Collateral from the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates
as principal or to sell any Mortgage Asset from the Collateral to the Collateral Manager or any of its Affiliates as principal

not direct the Trustee to acquire any Mortgage Asset for inclusion in the Collateral from any account or portfolio for which the
Collateral Manager serves as investment adviser or direct the Trustee to sell any Mortgage Asset to any account or portfolio for

and Section 206(3) of the Advisers Act. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to oversee compliance with this clause by
the other parties.


 






    	 	- 166 -	 



     


    

 


(b)          Upon
any Grant pursuant to this Article 12, all of the Issuer's right, title and interest to the Mortgage Asset or Securities shall
be Granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, such Mortgage Asset or Securities shall be registered in the name of the
Trustee, and, if applicable, the Trustee shall receive such Pledged Mortgage Asset or Securities. The Trustee also shall receive,

Manager certifying that, as of the date of such Grant, such Grant complies with the applicable conditions of and is permitted by
this Article 12 (and setting forth, to the extent appropriate, calculations in reasonable detail necessary to determine such
compliance).


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article 12 to the contrary, the Issuer shall, subject to this Section 12.3(c), have the right
to effect any transaction which has been consented to by the Holders of Notes evidencing 100% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount

Moody's specific Eligibility Criteria or (2) any Rating Agency modifies the definitions or calculations relating to either
of the Note Protection Tests (each, a "Rating Agency Test Modification"), in any case in order to correspond with
published changes in the guidelines, methodology or standards established by such Rating Agency, the Issuer may, but is under no
obligation solely as a result of this Section 12.4 to, incorporate corresponding changes into this Indenture by an amendment
or supplement hereto without the consent of the Holders of the Notes (except as provided below) (but with written notice to the
Noteholders) or the Preferred Shares if (x) in the case of a modification of a Moody's specific Eligibility Criteria, the
Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to Moody's, (y) in the case of a modification of a Note Protection Test,
the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to each Rating Agency then rating any Class of Notes and (z) written
notice of such modification is delivered by the Collateral Manager to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and Preferred Shares
(which notice may be included in the next regularly scheduled report to Noteholders). Any such Rating Agency Test Modification
shall be effected without execution of a supplemental indenture; provided, however, that such amendment shall
be (i) evidenced by a written instrument executed and delivered by each of the Co-Issuers and the Collateral Manager and delivered
to the Trustee, and (ii) accompanied by delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate of the Issuer (or
the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) certifying that such amendment has been made pursuant to and in compliance with
this Section 12.4.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


Section 14.1         Form
of Documents Delivered to the Trustee and Note Administrator. In any case where several matters are required to be certified
by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may
certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.


 






    	 	- 170 -	 



     


    

 


Any certificate or opinion
of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based
are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or Opinion of Counsel may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the
Collateral Manager or any other Person, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession
of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager or such other Person, unless such Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the
Co-Issuer or such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Any Opinion of Counsel also may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, an Authorized Officer of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, or the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, certifying as to the factual
matters that form a basis for such Opinion of Counsel and stating that the information with respect to such matters is in the possession
of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.


 


Where any Person is required
to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments
under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.


 


Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the absence of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default is a condition precedent to
the taking of any action by the Trustee or the Note Administrator at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, then
notwithstanding that the satisfaction of such condition is a condition precedent to the Issuer's or the Co-Issuer's rights to make
such request or direction, the Trustee or the Note Administrator shall be protected in acting in accordance with such request or
direction if it does not have knowledge of the occurrence and continuation of such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1(g).


 


Section 14.2         Acts
of Securityholders.


 


(a)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders
in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Note Administrator, and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Co-Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action or actions embodied therein
and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders signing such instrument
or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Issuer and the Co-Issuer, if made
in the manner provided in this Section 14.2.


 






    	 	- 171 -	 



     


    

 


(b)          The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee or
the Note Administrator deems sufficient.


 


(c)          The
principal amount and registered numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of his holding the same, shall be proved by the
Notes Register. The Notional Amount and registered numbers of the Preferred Shares held by any Person, and the date of his holding
the same, shall be proved by the register of members maintained with respect to the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee and Note Administrator may conclusively rely on an Investor Certification to determine ownership of any Notes.


 


(d)          Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Securityholder shall bind such Securityholder
(and any transferee thereof) of such Security and of every Security issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor
or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Note Administrator, the Preferred
Share Paying Agent, the Share Registrar, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Security.

to Noteholders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture or the Servicing Agreement provides
for notice to Holders of Notes of any event,


 


(a)          such
notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Notes if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of
a Note affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Notes Register, not earlier than the earliest
date and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice;

Neither the failure to

after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the
Trustee and with the Note Administrator, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken
in reliance upon such waiver.


 


In the event that, by reason
of the suspension of the regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical
to mail notice of any event to Noteholders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,
then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Note Administrator shall be deemed to be
a sufficient giving of such notice.

Section 14.6         Successors
and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall bind their respective successors
and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

parties hereto and their successors hereunder and (ii) the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Collateral Manager, the Preferred
Shareholders, the Preferred Share Paying Agent, the Share Registrar and the Noteholders (each of whom shall be an express third

of the Co-Issuer or the Issuer, respectively.

(b)          The

the relevant markets. In any event, the Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall obtain from any seller
of a Mortgage Asset, all Asset Documents with respect to each Mortgage Asset that govern, directly or indirectly, the rights and
obligations of the owner of the Mortgage Asset with respect to the Mortgage Asset and any certificate evidencing the Mortgage Asset.


 


Section 16.3         Representations
and Warranties Related to Ramp-Up Mortgage Assets and Reinvestment Mortgage Assets.


 


(a)          Upon
the acquisition of any Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset or Reinvestment Mortgage Asset by the Issuer, the related seller shall be required
to make representations and warranties substantially in the form attached as Exhibit N with such exceptions as may be relevant.


 






    	 	- 182 -	 



     


    

 


(b)          The
representations and warranties in Section 16.3(a) with respect to the acquisition of any Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset or Reinvestment
Mortgage Asset may be subject to any modification, limitation or qualification that the Collateral Manager determines to be reasonably
acceptable in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard; provided that the Collateral Manager will provide the
Rating Agencies with a report attached to each Monthly Report identifying each such affected representation or warranty and the
modification, exception, limitation or qualification received with respect to the acquisition of any Ramp-Up Mortgage Asset or
Reinvestment Mortgage Asset during the period covered by the Monthly Report, which report may contain explanations by the Collateral
Manager as to its determinations.


 


(c)          The
Issuer (or the Collateral Manager on behalf of the Issuer) shall obtain a covenant from the Person making any representation or
warranty to the Issuer pursuant to Section 16.3(a) that such Person shall repurchase the related Mortgage Asset if any such
representation or warranty is breached (but only after the expiration of any permitted cure periods and failure to cure such breach).
The purchase price for any Mortgage Asset repurchased shall be a price equal to the sum of the following (in each case, without
duplication) as of the date of such repurchase: (i) the then outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Asset, discounted
based on the percentage amount of any discount that was applied when such Mortgage Asset was purchased by the Issuer, plus (ii) accrued
and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Asset, plus (iii) any unreimbursed advances made under the Indenture or the Servicing
Agreement on the Mortgage Asset, plus (iv) accrued and unpaid interest on advances made under the Indenture or the
Servicing Agreement on the Mortgage Asset, plus (v) any reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to,
the cost of any enforcement action, incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection with any such repurchase), plus (vi) any
Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer in connection with a repurchase of the Mortgage Asset by the Seller.


 


Section 16.4         Operating
Advisor. If the Issuer, as holder of a Participation has the right pursuant to the related Asset Documents to appoint the operating
advisor, directing holder or Person serving a similar function under the Asset Documents, each of the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Collateral Manager shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to appoint the Collateral Manager to such position.


 


Section 16.5        Purchase
Right; Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares. If the Issuer, as holder of a Participation, has the right pursuant to
the related Asset Documents to purchase any other interest in the same Underlying Whole Loan as the Participation (an "Other
Tranche"), the Issuer shall, if directed by the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares, exercise such right, if
the Collateral Manager determines, in accordance with the Collateral Management Standard, that the exercise of the option would
be in the best interest of the Noteholders, but shall not exercise such right if the Collateral Manager determines otherwise. The
Collateral Manager shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying such determination, accompanied by an Act of
the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares directing the Issuer to exercise such right. In connection with the purchase of
any such Other Tranche(s), the Issuer shall assign to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee all of its
right, title and interest in such Other Tranche(s) in exchange for a purchase price (such price and any other associated expense
of such exercise to be paid by the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares) of the Other Tranche(s) (or, if the Asset Documents
permit, the Issuer may assign the purchase right to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee; otherwise
the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee shall fund the purchase by the Issuer, which shall then assign
the Other Tranche(s) to the Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares or its designee), which amount shall be delivered by such
Holder or its designee from its own funds to or upon the instruction of the Collateral Manager in accordance with terms of the
Asset Documents related to the acquisition of such Other Tranche(s). The Issuer shall execute and deliver at the direction of such
Holder of a Majority of the Preferred Shares such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by such Holder, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title to such Holder of the Majority of Preferred Shares or its designee of the Other
Tranche(s) and the Trustee shall have no responsibility with regard to such Other Tranche(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, any Other Tranche purchased hereunder by the Issuer shall not be subject to the Grant to the Trustee under the Granting
Clauses.

principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);


 


(c)          neither

of the Advancing Agent or the ability of the Advancing Agent to perform its obligations under this Indenture;


 






    	 	- 185 -

LIBOR


 


Calculation of LIBOR


 


For purposes of calculating
the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR"), the Issuer and the Co-Issuer shall initially appoint the Note Administrator
as calculation agent (in such capacity, the "Calculation Agent"). LIBOR with respect to any Interest Accrual Period
shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:


 


1.            On
the second London Banking Day preceding the first Business Day of an Interest Accrual Period (each such day, a "LIBOR Determination
Date"), LIBOR (other than for the initial Interest Accrual Period) shall equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation
Agent, for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period of one month, which appears on the Reuters Page LIBOR01 (or such other page
that may replace that page on such service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates) as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets
Commodities News as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date. "London Banking Day" means
any day on which commercial banks are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits)
in London, England.


 


2.            If,
on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), the Calculation
Agent shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. Dollars are offered by Reference Banks at approximately
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one
month commencing on the LIBOR Determination Date and in a representative amount of $1,000. The Calculation Agent shall request
the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations
are provided, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations
are provided as requested, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three
major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the LIBOR
Determination Date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month commencing on the LIBOR Determination
Date and in a representative amount of $1,000 and if at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for LIBOR will be the
arithmetic mean of the quotations; provided, that if less than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined
on the previous LIBOR Determination Date. As used herein, "Reference Banks" means four major banks in the London
interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent and approved by the Collateral Manager.


 


3.            In
respect of the initial Interest Accrual Period, LIBOR shall be determined on the second London Banking Day preceding the Closing
Date.


 






    	 	Sch. B-1	 



     


    


 


4.            Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall LIBOR be less than zero.


 


In making the above calculations, (A) all
percentages resulting from the calculation (other than the calculation determined pursuant to clause (c) above) shall be rounded,
if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (0.00001%) and (B) all percentages determined pursuant
to clause (c) above shall be rounded, if necessary, in accordance with the method set forth in (A), but to the same degree
of accuracy as the two rates used to make the determination (except that such percentages shall not be rounded to a lower degree
of accuracy than the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point (0.001%)).
