(viii) Seller shall have paid to Administrative Agent, for its own account and/or on behalf of Buyers, as applicable,
(A) any fees then due and payable under the Fee Letter and (B) any unpaid Transaction Costs in respect of such Purchased Asset due and owing by Seller (which amounts, at Seller’s option, may be held back from funds remitted to Seller
by Buyers on the Purchase Date); 

  
 29 








 (ix) [reserved]; 

(x) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have received true and complete copies of fully executed originals of all
Transfer Documents; 
 (xi) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have received a copy of any document relating to
any Hedging Transaction, and Seller shall have validly pledged and assigned to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, all of Seller’s rights under each Hedging Transaction included within a Purchased Asset, if any; 

(xii) no circumstance shall exist or event have occurred resulting in a Material Adverse Effect; 

(xiii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not have determined that the introduction of, or a change in, any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, and no Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Administrative Agent or any Buyer, to enter into any Transaction
and no Governmental Authority shall have imposed material restrictions on the authority of Administrative Agent or any Buyer to enter into any Transaction; 

(xiv) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not have determined, in its sole discretion, that an event or
circumstance exists that has caused the occurrence of (A) a material change in financial markets, an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or a material change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, or
(B) a general suspension of trading on major stock exchanges, or (C) a disruption in or moratorium on commercial banking activities or securities settlement services; and 

(xv) no circumstance shall exist or event have occurred resulting in (A) the effective absence of a “repo
market” or comparable “lending market” for financing debt obligations secured by commercial mortgage loans or (B) Administrative Agent or Buyers not being able to finance Eligible Assets through the “repo market” or
“lending market” with traditional counterparties at rates which would have been reasonable prior to the occurrence of such event or events; and 

(xvi) a Key Person Event shall have occurred and be continuing. 

(g) Each Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the related Transaction covered thereby.

 (h) With respect to any Transaction involving an Eligible Asset that is a Future Advance Asset, Seller shall indicate in the related
Preliminary Due Diligence Package that such Eligible Asset is a Future Advance Asset and shall provide Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with the information required to complete the Confirmation regarding such Future Advance Asset, as well
as, the then remaining unfunded future funding obligations under all Future Advance Assets. Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Repurchase Date (but no more than one time per month for each
Future Advance Asset), in the event a future advance is to be made by Seller pursuant to the Purchased Asset Documents with respect to a Future Advance Asset, Seller may submit to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a request that Buyers
transfer their respective pro rata share of cash to Seller in an amount not 

  
 30 








 
to exceed the Maximum Purchase Percentage, multiplied by the amount of such future advance (a “Future Advance Purchase”), which Future Advance Purchase shall increase the
outstanding Purchase Price for such Future Advance Asset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall be under no obligation to make a Future Advance Purchase, and shall
determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether to proceed with any proposed Future Advance Purchase. Buyers shall transfer cash to Seller as provided in this Section 3(h) (and in accordance with the wire instructions
provided by Seller in such request) on the date requested by Seller, which date shall be no earlier than two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the conditions precedent to such
Future Advance Purchase as set forth in this Section 3(h) have been satisfied (or, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, waived). Any Future Advance Purchase to be made by Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, in accordance with this Section 3(h) shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: 

(i) no Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the funding of such
Future Advance Purchase; 
 (ii) the funding of the Future Advance Purchase will not cause the aggregate outstanding Purchase
Price for all Purchased Assets to exceed the Facility Amount; 
 (iii) the Future Advance Purchase will not cause the
Purchase Price of the applicable Future Advance Asset to exceed the Concentration Limit; 
 (iv) Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that the Maximum Asset Exposure Threshold and Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold will be satisfied immediately after giving effect to the funding of the Future Advance Purchase; 

(v) Seller shall have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, that all
conditions to the future advance under the Purchased Asset Documents have been satisfied; 
 (vi) Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, and Seller shall have executed and delivered a restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new outstanding Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset and any other modifications to the terms set forth on the
existing Confirmation; 
 (vii) the Future Advance Purchase shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000; and

 (viii) previously or simultaneously with Buyers funding of the Future Advance Purchase, Seller shall have funded or caused
to be funded to the Mortgagor (or to an escrow agent or as otherwise directed by the Mortgagor) its pro rata portion of such Future Advance Purchase in respect of such Future Advance Asset. 

(ix) Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have approved any required modification to the Confirmation
with respect to the applicable Future Advance Asset; 
 (x) Buyers’ credit committee shall have approved the Future
Advance Purchase; 
 (xi) no Key Person Event shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 31 








 (xii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not have determined, in
its sole discretion, that an event or circumstance exists that has caused the occurrence of (A) a material change in financial markets, as a result of an outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or a material change in national or international
political, financial or economic conditions, (B) a general suspension of trading on major stock exchanges or (C) a disruption in or moratorium on commercial banking activities or securities settlement services; and 

(xiii) no circumstance shall exist or event have occurred resulting in (A) the effective absence of a “repo
market” or comparable “lending market” for financing debt obligations secured by commercial mortgage loans or (B) Administrative Agent or Buyers not being able to finance Eligible Assets through the “repo market” or
“lending market” with traditional counterparties at rates which would have been reasonable prior to the occurrence of such event or events. 

(i) Early Repurchase and Mandatory Repurchase. 

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

(A) no Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall be continuing or would occur or result from such early repurchase
(except for a Default or Margin Deficit related solely to the Purchased Asset being repurchased); 
 (B) Seller notifies
Administrative Agent in writing, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Early Repurchase Date, of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase the related Purchased Asset; 

(C) Seller shall pay to Buyers on the Early Repurchase Date an amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Price for such
Transaction, all Transaction Costs and any other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 3(n),
Section 3(o), Section 3(p) and Section 3(q) of this Agreement, if any and the Exit Fee, if any) with respect to such Transaction against transfer to Seller or its agent of
the related Purchased Asset. 
 (ii) In addition to any other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Buyers under
any Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Purchased Asset becoming a Defaulted Asset due to the occurrence of any one or more elements of the definition of “Defaulted Asset” set forth herein, Seller shall, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 3(i)(i)(B)-(C), repurchase any such Purchased Asset on the date (the “Mandatory Early Repurchase Date”) that is twelve (12) Business Days after the earlier of
Seller’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent or a Responsible Officer of Seller’s knowledge of the occurrence thereof. 

(j) On the Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of the applicable Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or, if
requested by Seller, its designee of the related Purchased Assets, and any Income in respect thereof received by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller
pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof) against the simultaneous transfer to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of the applicable Repurchase Price, all Transaction Costs and any other
amounts payable by Seller and outstanding under this Agreement with respect to such Transaction (including without limitation, Section 3(n), Section 3(o), Section 3(p) and
Section 3(q) of this Agreement, if any, and the Exit Fee, if applicable) to an account of Buyers. 

  
 32 








 (k) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Repurchase Price with
respect to one or more Purchased Assets may be paid in part at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice from Seller to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that any such payment shall be accompanied by an
amount representing accrued Price Differential with respect to such Purchased Asset(s) on the amount of such payment and all other amounts then due under the Transaction Documents. Each partial payment of the Repurchase Price that is voluntary (as
opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Agreement) shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller shall execute and deliver a restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set
forth the new outstanding Purchase Price and outstanding principal balance for such Purchased Asset in connection with such partial repurchase. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, if after giving effect to such
partial payment of the Repurchase Price, the Purchase Percentage is less than the Maximum Purchase Percentage, Seller may in its discretion request and Buyer shall transfer funds to Seller in an amount equal to the Redraw Advance; provided, that,
Seller may only request three (3) Redraw Advances for any calendar month. 
 (l) 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and a
Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto have occurred prior to the Reference Time in connection with any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then such Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under
this Agreement and under any other Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without requiring any amendment to, or requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the forgoing, in the event that Administrative Agent shall have
determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market or otherwise, (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable Benchmark, but a Benchmark Transition Event (as provided in the definition of Benchmark Transition Event as set forth herein) has not yet occurred or (ii) the Benchmark does not fairly and accurately reflect the costs to Buyers of
effecting or maintaining the Transactions, then Administrative Agent shall give written notice to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the Pricing Rate with respect to all outstanding Transactions, until such notice has
been withdrawn by Administrative Agent, shall be a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, plus (ii) 0.25%, plus (iii) the Applicable Spread. 

(m) 
 (i) In
connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without requiring any further action by or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document. 

  
 33 








 (ii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will promptly notify Seller of
(A) any occurrence of (i) a Benchmark Transition Event and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Date with respect thereto, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes. 
 Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to
Section 3(l) or this Section 3(m), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an
event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and
without consent from Seller or any other party to any other Transaction Document. 
 (n) Upon demand by Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Buyers, Seller shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Buyers, and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from any actual net loss or out-of-pocket cost or
expense (not to include any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that
Administrative Agent or Buyers actually sustains or incurs as a direct consequence of (i) any default by Seller in payment in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any such loss or
expense arising from interest or fees payable by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to effect or maintain a Transaction hereunder, (ii) a default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller
has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(i) of a termination of a Transaction, (iii) any payment of all or any portion of the Repurchase Price, as the case may be, on any day other than a Remittance Date,
including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to effect or maintain a Transaction hereunder, (iv) Seller’s failure
to sell Eligible Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after Seller has notified Administrative Agent of a proposed Transaction and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has given a Final Approval to purchase such Eligible Assets
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (unless the Final Approval differs materially from the Preliminary Approval), (v) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Pricing Rate on a date other
than the first day of a Pricing Period, and (vi) and any loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to effect or maintain a Transaction hereunder.
Whenever in this Section 3(n) the term “interest or fees payable by Administrative Agent or any Buyer to lenders of funds obtained by it” is used and no such funds were actually obtained from such lenders, it
shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by Administrative Agent or any Buyer if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a Transaction hereunder. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer fails to notify Seller of any event which would entitle Buyer to compensation pursuant to this Section 3(n) within one hundred eighty
(180) days after Buyer obtains knowledge of such event, then Buyer shall not be entitled to such compensation from Seller for any amount resulting from such event and arising prior to the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days before
the date on which Buyer notifies Seller of such event. In addition, Seller shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts in connection with this Section 3(n) that may result from the status of any assignee, participant or transferee
differing from the status of Buyer. 
 (o) If Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Administrative Agent, or any Buyer, or any corporation controlling Administrative Agent or such Buyer, with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall hereafter: 
 (i) have the effect,
with respect to capital adequacy, including the Reserve Requirements or any other reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Administrative Agent or any Buyer, of reducing the rate of return
on Administrative Agent or any Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Administrative Agent or such Buyer, or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Administrative Agent or such Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to be
material; 

  
 34 








 (ii) impose, modify, increase or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Administrative Agent or
a Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the rate hereunder (other than as a result of an increase in taxes); or 

(iii) impose on Administrative Agent or any Buyer any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to Administrative Agent or any Buyer of effecting, renewing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; 

then, in any such case, within twelve (12) Business Days after submission by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller of a
written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent or such Buyer, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Administrative Agent or such Buyer for such reduction. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Administrative Agent to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer fails to notify Seller of any event which would entitle Buyer to compensation pursuant to this Section 3(o) within one hundred eighty
(180) days after Buyer obtains knowledge of such event, then Buyer shall not be entitled to such compensation from Seller for any amount resulting from such event and arising prior to the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days before
the date on which Buyer notifies Seller of such event. In addition, Seller shall have no obligation to pay any additional amounts in connection with this Section 3(p) that may result from the status of any assignee, participant or transferee
differing from the status of Buyer. 
 (p) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under the Transaction Documents
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment (as determined in the good faith discretion of Seller or
Administrative Agent), then Seller shall make (or cause to be made) such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by Seller as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section), each Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Requirements of Law. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3(p), Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, the original or
a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. 

  
 35 








 (q) Seller shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3(q)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Seller by a Buyer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Buyer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 (r) If any Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction
Documents, such Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Buyer shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or
reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as will enable Seller to determine whether or not such Buyer, is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3(r)(i), Section 3(r)(ii) and
Section 3(r)(iv) below) shall not be required if in such Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would be illegal, would subject Buyer, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
otherwise materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(i) if a Buyer is a United States person, (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “United States
Person”), it shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (ii)
if a Buyer is not a United States Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer,
becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(A) in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (1) with
respect to payments characterized as interest for U.S. tax purposes under any Transaction Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(C) in the case of a Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(1) a certificate to the effect that Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code,
or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or 

  
 36 








 (D) to the extent a Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS
Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as
applicable; provided that if such Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such
direct and indirect partner; 
 (iii) if a Buyer is not a United States Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which such Buyer becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of Seller and/or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(iv) if a payment made to any Buyer under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Buyer were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Seller and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether a Buyer has complied with such Buyer’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3(r)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date
of this Agreement; 
 provided that each Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 3(r) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller (and Administrative Agent) in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(s) If any of the events described in Section 3(o), Section 3(o), Section 3(o)
or Section 3(p) result in Buyers’ request for additional amounts, then Seller shall have the option to notify Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in writing of its intent to terminate all of the Transactions and
repurchase all of the Purchased Assets no later than twelve (12) Business Days after such notice is given to Administrative Agent, and such repurchase by Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 3(h). The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with this Section 3(s) shall not relieve Seller for liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased
costs actually incurred by Administrative Agent or Buyers prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Assets. 
 (t) From and after the
Facility Termination Date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have no further obligation to purchase any New Assets. On the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall be obligated to repurchase all of the Purchased Assets and transfer
payment of the Repurchase Price for each such Purchased Asset, together with the accrued and unpaid Price Differential and all Transaction 

  
 37 








 
Costs and other amounts due and payable to Buyers hereunder, against the transfer by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to Seller of each such Purchased Asset. Following the Facility
Termination Date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall not be obligated to transfer any Purchased Assets to Seller until payment in full to Buyers of all amounts due hereunder. 

(u) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all
rules, regulations, guidelines or directives promulgated in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case under clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of or
change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date of this Agreement. 
  

	4.	 MANDATORY PAYMENT OR DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL ASSETS 



(a) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may determine and re-determine the Asset Base Components
on any Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. Upon the occurrence of a Margin Credit Event with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, if at any such time the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets is greater than
the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased Assets as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in its sole good faith discretion (a “Margin Deficit”), then if Administrative Agent delivers notice of a
Margin Deficit to Seller on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, Seller shall (i) no later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the second (2nd) Business Day following receipt of such notice
either (A) transfer to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Margin Deficit or (B) transfer to Administrative Agent cash in an amount equal to so much of the Margin Deficit as Seller is able to fund through cash on hand that is not
otherwise allocated for another obligation and from any capital commitment availability or subscription-secured credit facility of Guarantor (to the extent permitted thereunder), and concurrently deliver to Buyer an officer’s certificate
(1) certifying that its cash on hand that is not otherwise allocated for another obligation and amounts available under any capital commitment or subscription-secured credit facility of Guarantor (to the extent permitted thereunder) as of such
date (before giving effect to any amounts transferred to Administrative Agent on such date) is insufficient to pay the Margin Deficit and (2) certifying that the Guarantor has called capital under its organizational documents in an aggregate
amount sufficient to fully satisfy such Margin Deficit within twelve (12) Business Days following receipt of such notice; and (ii) if Seller has delivered the officer’s certificate provided in clause (i)(B) above, no later than 10:00
a.m., New York time, on the twelfth (12th) Business Day following receipt of such certificate, transfer to Buyer an amount equal to the balance of such Margin Deficit; provided that Seller
shall not be required to cure a Margin Deficit unless and until the Margin Deficit of such Purchased Asset equals or exceeds $1,000,000 on any date of determination. Any cash delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to this
Section 4(a) shall be applied by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to reduce the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Assets. 

(b) If at any such time the Purchase Price of one or more Purchased Assets is less than the aggregate Asset Base Components of such Purchased
Assets as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in its sole good faith discretion (a “Margin Excess”), then Buyers shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a request from Seller, transfer
cash to Seller in an amount (not to exceed such Margin Excess) such that the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset, after the addition of any such cash so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such Asset Base Component as re-determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after giving effect to the delivery of cash by Buyers to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b); provided that (i) no
Margin Deficit, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such funding, (ii) such funding shall not result in the Aggregate Repurchase Price of all Purchased Assets exceeding the Facility Amount and
(iii) each such funding shall 

  
 38 








 
be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000. Any cash delivered by Buyers to Seller pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be applied by Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Buyers, to increase the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Seller shall execute and deliver a restated Confirmation for the applicable Transaction to set forth the new Purchase Price for
such Purchased Asset. Seller may not request funding under this Section 4(b) more than three (3) times in any calendar month. 

(c) The failure of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or Buyers on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under this
Section 4, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the rights of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to do so at a later date. Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers,
each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way
create additional rights for Seller. 
  

	5.	 INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS 



(a) On or before the date hereof, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall establish and maintain with the Depository Bank a
deposit account in the name of Seller and under the sole control of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to which the Blocked Account Agreement shall have been executed (such account, together with any replacement or successor
thereof, the “Blocked Account”). Seller shall cause all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets to be deposited in the Blocked Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller shall cause Servicer to remit to the Blocked
Account all Income received in respect of the Purchased Assets within one (1) Business Day of receipt. All Income in respect of the Purchased Assets, which may include payments in respect of associated Hedging Transactions, shall be deposited
directly into, or, if applicable, remitted directly from the applicable underlying collection account to, the Blocked Account. 
 (b) Unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Remittance Date, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied as follows: 

(i) first, to Servicer, Custodian and Depository Bank, pro rata, fees due and owing to such Persons under the related
Transaction Document; 
 (ii) second, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the Price
Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the Transactions as of such Remittance Date; 
 (iii)
third, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, any accrued and unpaid Exit Fees, Annual Fees, Facility Increase Fees, Extension Fees and all Transaction Costs and all other amounts payable by Seller and outstanding hereunder and under
the other Transaction Documents (other than the Repurchase Price); 
 (iv) fourth, if a Principal Payment in respect
of any Purchased Asset has been made during the related Collection Period (except to the extent such Principal Payment has already been applied pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof), to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to
the product of the amount of such Principal Payment, multiplied by the applicable Purchase Percentage; 

  
 39 








 (v) fifth, if a Margin Deficit that is due and payable shall exist with
respect to one or more Purchased Assets, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, an amount such that, after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchased Assets is equal to the aggregate Asset Base Components of
such Purchased Assets, as determined by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, after giving effect to such payment to the extent of remaining funds in the Blocked Account; and 

(vi) sixth, to Seller, the remainder, if any. 

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

(c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any unscheduled Principal Payment (including net sale proceeds) in
respect of any Purchased Asset for which the Income thereof has been received by the Depository Bank during any Collection Period shall be applied, no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of notice from Seller of its request to apply
such payment in accordance with this subsection (c), as follows: 
 (i) first, to Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, an amount equal to the product of the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by the Purchase Percentage; 

(ii) second, if a Margin Deficit that is due and payable shall exist with respect to one or more Purchased Assets, to
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to the extent of Income available after the payment made in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) above, an amount equal to the aggregate Margin Deficit until paid in full; and 

(iii) third, to Seller the remainder, if any. 

(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Income on deposit in the Blocked Account in respect of the Purchased
Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions shall be applied as determined in Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, sole discretion pursuant to Section 14(b)(ii). After the Repurchase Obligations have been satisfied
in full including, without limitation, after the application by Buy of any set off rights pursuant to this Agreement or the Guaranty, any remainder shall be sent to the Seller. 

(e) If at any time during the term of any Transaction any Income is distributed to Seller with respect to the related Purchased Asset or
Seller has otherwise received such Income and has made a payment in respect of such Income to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to this Section 5, and for any reason such amount is required to be returned
by any Buyer to an obligor under such Purchased Asset (either before or after the Repurchase Date), such Buyer, may provide Seller and Administrative Agent with notice of such required return, and Seller shall pay the amount of such required return
to such Buyer by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following Seller’s receipt of such notice. 
 (f) Subject to the other
provisions hereof, Seller shall be responsible for all Transaction Costs in respect of any Purchased Assets to the extent it would be so obligated if the Purchased Assets had not been sold to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Administrative
Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall provide Seller with notice of any Transaction Costs, and Seller shall pay the amount of any Transaction Costs to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the later of
(i) twelve (12) Business Days after the date on which Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has informed Seller that such amount is due under the Purchased Asset Documents and (ii) twelve (12) Business Days following Seller’s
receipt of such notice.

	6.	 SECURITY INTEREST 



(a) Administrative Agent, Buyers, and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, of
the Purchased Assets (other than any Mezzanine Loan) for all purposes (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income or franchise tax purposes) and not loans from Buyers to Seller secured by the Purchased Assets. However, in the event that any
Transaction is deemed to be a loan, Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first
priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, and together with the Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets (as defined below), the “Repurchase Assets”): 

(i) all of the Purchased Assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all security interests, mortgages and liens on personal
or real property securing the Purchased Assets) and related Servicing Rights; 
 (ii) all Income from the Purchased Assets;

 (iii) all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Purchased Asset or the related Eligible Property; 

(iv) all “general intangibles”, “accounts” and “chattel paper” as defined in the UCC relating to
or constituting any and all of the foregoing; 
 (v) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds,
payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, any and all of the foregoing; 
 (vi) any other property, rights,
titles or interests as are specified in the Confirmation and/or the Trust Receipt, the Purchased Asset Schedule or exception report with respect to the foregoing in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter
created; and 
 (vii) the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from time to time on deposit therein. 

(b) With respect to the security interest in the Repurchase Assets granted in Section 6(a) and
Section 6(f) hereof, and with respect to the security interests granted in Sections 6(c) and 6(d), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and any other applicable law and shall have the right to apply the Repurchase Assets or proceeds therefrom to the obligations of Seller under
the Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed as a protective filing with respect to the Repurchase Assets and as a UCC
filing with respect to the security interests granted in Sections 6(c) and 6(d) one or more UCC financing statements in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (to be filed in the filing office indicated therein)
and, with respect to Seller, containing the following collateral description “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words to that effect and, with respect to Pledgor, describing all of the items set forth in
the definition of Collateral in the Pledge Agreement, in such locations as may be necessary to perfect 

  
 41 








 
and maintain perfection and priority of the outright transfer (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) and the security interest granted hereby and, in each case,
continuation statements and any amendments thereto (including, without limitation, by causing to be filed any amendments necessary to add or delete Repurchase Assets covered by the financing statement to reflect the purchase and repurchase of
Purchased Assets) (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon completion thereof, and (ii) Seller and Pledgor shall, from time to time, at its own expense, deliver and cause to be duly
filed all such further filings, instruments and documents and take all such further actions as may be necessary or desirable or as may be requested by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, with respect to the perfection and priority of the
outright transfer of the Purchased Assets and the security interest granted hereunder in the Repurchase Assets and the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c) and 6(d) and the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, on behalf
of Buyers, with respect to the Repurchase Assets (including under Section 22 of this Agreement) (including the payments of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement). 

(c) Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase
Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Seller’s rights under all Hedging Transactions relating to Purchased
Assets entered into by Seller and all proceeds thereof. Seller shall take all action as is necessary or, in Administrative Agent’s good faith determination, desirable to obtain consent to assignment of any such Hedging Transaction to
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and shall cause the counterparty under each such Hedging Transaction to enter into such document or instrument satisfactory to Administrative Agent, Seller and such counterparty, pursuant to which such
counterparty will covenant and agree to accept notice from Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to redirect payments under such Hedging Transaction as Administrative Agent may direct. So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing,
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, agrees that it will not redirect payments under any Hedging Transaction pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(c). 

(d) Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase
Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Servicing Rights and the Blocked Account and all amounts and property from
time to time on deposit therein and all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds, payments and profits of, and records and files relating to, the Servicing Rights and the Blocked Account. 

(e) In connection with the repurchase by Seller of any Purchased Asset in accordance herewith, upon receipt of the Repurchase Price by
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will deliver to Seller, at Seller’s expense, such documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to reconvey such Purchased
Asset and any Income related thereto to Seller. 
 (f) In order to further secure the Repurchase Obligations hereunder, Seller hereby
grants, assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Mezzanine Loans, all replacements, substitutions or distributions on, or proceeds, payments and profits of, and
records and files relating thereto, and all related Servicing Rights, the Transaction Documents (to the extent such Transaction Documents and Seller’s right thereunder relate to the Mezzanine Loans), all documentation governing the Mezzanine
Loans, any right or interest in or to property of any kind whatsoever, whether real, personal, or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, relating to the Mezzanine Loans, all insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating to any Mezzanine
Loans or the related Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, any payments or proceeds under any related primary insurance, hazard insurance, Income, interest rate protection agreements, accounts (including any

and other assets relating to the Mezzanine Loans (including, without limitation, any other accounts) or any interest in Mezzanine Loans, and any proceeds (including the related securitization proceeds) and distributions with respect to any of the
foregoing and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on a Confirmation and/or Trust Receipt with respect to the Mezzanine Loans, in all instances, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Assets and all
rights thereunder shall be transferred to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price by Buyers to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation
relating to such Transaction. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, will provide Seller with a Power of Attorney to Seller, allowing Seller to administer, operate and service such Purchased Assets. Provided that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, such Power of Attorney to Seller shall be binding upon Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns. 

(b) With respect to each Table Funded Purchased Asset, Seller shall cause the Bailee to deliver to Administrative Agent by no later than 1:00

Mortgage or Mezzanine Pledge Agreement and LLC certificate (as applicable), Title Policy, the Insured Closing Letter and Escrow Instructions, if any, and the executed Bailee Agreement and Trust Receipt. In connection with the sale of each Purchased
Asset, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), two (2) Business Days prior to the related Purchase Date (or with respect to a Table Funded Purchased Asset not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date), Seller shall deliver or cause Bailee to deliver (with a copy to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers) and release to the Custodian

the Custodian) confirming the receipt of, the original (or where indicated, copied) documents set forth on Schedule 2, pertaining to each of the Purchased Assets identified in the Purchased Asset File Checklist delivered therewith;
provided that if Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the original Purchased Asset Documents required to be delivered as originals (excluding the Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note, the Assignment of Mortgage, the LLC

of Seller certifying that such copy represents a true and correct copy of the original and shall use its best efforts to obtain and deliver such original document within one hundred eighty (180) days after the related Purchase Date (or such
longer period after the related Purchase Date to which Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may consent in its sole discretion, so long as Seller is, as certified in writing to Administrative Agent, not less frequently than monthly, using its
best efforts to obtain the original). After the expiration of such best efforts period, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a certification that states, despite Seller’s best efforts, Seller was unable to obtain
such original document, and thereafter Seller shall have no further obligation to deliver the related original document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall, at its option, have the right to cancel the
purchase of an Eligible Asset if all required originals have not been delivered as required in this Agreement. 

  
 43

additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, Custodian shall hold such other

with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to Custodian promptly when they are received.
With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus Power of Attorney to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers,
irrevocably appointing Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, its attorney-in-fact with full power, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
(i) complete and record any Assignment of Mortgage, (ii) complete the endorsement of any Mortgage Note, Mezzanine Note, LLC certificate or Participation Certificate (as applicable) and (iii) take such other steps as may be necessary
or desirable to enforce Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, rights against any Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall deposit the Purchased Asset
Files representing the Purchased Assets, or cause the Purchased Asset Files to be deposited directly, with Custodian to be held by Custodian on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in
accordance with Custodial Agreement. Any Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) is and shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Administrative
Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee. The
possession of the Purchased Asset File by Seller or its designee is at the will of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee
is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the transfer, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, of the related Purchased Asset to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers. Seller or its designee (including Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with written instructions from
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers,, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Assets or is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Asset by Seller or is pursuant to the order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

 (vi) Good Title to Purchased Assets. Immediately prior to the purchase of
any Purchased Assets by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, from Seller, such Purchased Assets are free and clear of any lien, security interest, claim, option, charge, encumbrance or impediment to transfer to Administrative Agent, on behalf
of Buyers (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), and are not subject to any rights of setoff, any prior sale, transfer, assignment, or participation by
Seller or any agreement (other than the Transaction Documents) by Seller to assign, convey, transfer or participate in such Purchased Assets, in whole or in part, and Seller is the sole legal record and beneficial owner of, and owns and has the

 (b) Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers: 
 (i)
At the option of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect
to Seller, Pledgor or 

  
 62 








 
Guarantor), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have
been exercised, the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”) (and any Transaction for which the related Purchase Date has not yet occurred shall be canceled). 

(ii) If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
Section 14(b)(i) hereof (A) Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Assets shall become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date, and all Income deposited in the
Blocked Account shall be retained by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and applied to the Repurchase Obligations; (B) the Repurchase Price with respect to each Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date) shall
include the accrued and unpaid Price Differential with respect to each Purchased Asset accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon an Event of Default for such Transaction; and (C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers (with simultaneous copy of such request to Seller), deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, all instruments, certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Assets; and (D) this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, except with respect to those provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. 

(iii) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, after ten (10) days’ notice to Seller of Administrative
Agent’s, intent to take such action (provided that no such notice shall be required in the circumstances set forth in Section 9-611(d) of the UCC), (A) immediately sell, at a public or private
sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may deem to be satisfactory any or all of the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis or (B) in its sole discretion elect,
in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Assets, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Assets in an amount equal to the market value (as determined by Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion) of such Purchased Assets
against the aggregate Repurchase Obligations. In the event the market value (as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of the Purchased Assets exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Obligations and the Repurchased Obligations have
otherwise been paid in full, the Administrative Agent shall remit such excess to Seller. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section 14(b)(iii) shall be applied: first, to
the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyers, in connection with Seller’s default; second, to the out-of-pocket costs of covering any Hedging Transactions, if any; third, to the Repurchase Price; fourth, to all other outstanding Repurchase Obligations; and
fifth, the balance, if any, to Seller. In the event that Buyers shall not have received repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations following its liquidation of the Purchased Assets, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, in its
sole discretion, pursue Seller, Pledgor and Guarantor (to the extent provided in the Guaranty) for all or any part of any deficiency. 

(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Purchased Assets on a particular Business
Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Assets may not be liquid. In view of the nature of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Assets shall not require a public purchase or sale and that a bona fide private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Administrative Agent,
on behalf of Buyers, may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to liquidate any Purchased Assets
following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Assets in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Administrative Agent or Buyers. 


  
 63 








 (v) Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for
(A) the amount of all out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of outside counsel, incurred by Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with covering transactions or
Hedging Transactions (including short sales) or entering into replacement transactions, (C) all damages, losses, judgments, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses of any kind that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, relating to or arising out of such hedging transactions or covering transactions, and (D) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the
occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 (vi) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may exercise any or all of the remedies
available to Administrative Agent and Buyers, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are
cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Administrative Agent or Buyers may have. 
 (vii)
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent or Buyers
to enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Assets, or from any other election of remedies. Seller
recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. 

(viii) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Buyers, Administrative Agent and Buyers, shall
have the right of set-off set forth in Section 26 hereof. 

(ix) Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of
the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the
State of New York, to the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between any Buyer and Seller or Administrative Agent, Buyer and Seller exercisable upon ten
(10) days notice from Administrative Agent to Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of
Seller’s or Guarantor’s obligations to Administrative Agent, Buyers, or their Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Seller or Guarantor and a Buyer or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or
between Seller and any Affiliate of of any Buyer or Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s, right to recover any
deficiency. 

  
 64 








 (x) Administrative Agent and each Buyer shall at any time have the right, in each
case until such time as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, determines otherwise, to retain, to suspend payment or performance of, or to decline to remit, any amount or property that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, would otherwise
be obligated to pay, remit or deliver to Seller hereunder if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(xi) For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall have no obligation to review or purchase any
Eligible Asset during the continuance of an Event of Default.

behalf of Buyers, view of the value of one or more loans or other assets at a particular point in time and does not (A) constitute a bid for a particular trade, (B) indicate a willingness on the part of Administrative Agent, any Buyer, or
any Affiliate thereof to make such a bid, or (C) reflect a valuation for substantially similar assets at the same or another point in time, or for the same assets at another point in time.

Purchased Asset or the underlying collateral. 
 (vii) Initial Market Value determinations and other information provided to

	20.	 INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES 



(a) Seller hereby agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers, and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors
and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and indemnify the Indemnified Parties against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, Taxes (including stamp, excise, sales
or other Taxes, but excluding any income Taxes of Buyer) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Purchased Assets and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith, fees, costs and expenses
(including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements of outside counsel and any and all servicing and enforcement costs incurred with respect to the Purchased Assets) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively,
“Indemnified Amounts”) that may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any
Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in 

  
 69 








 
connection with, or relating to, this Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the
foregoing; provided that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Administrative Agent or any Buyer in
connection with any Purchased Asset for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Asset Document, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and Buyers harmless from and against all expenses, loss or
damage suffered by Administrative Agent and Buyers by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a
breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an
Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement and
any other Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its counsel. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to
hold each Indemnified Party harmless from any action taken by Seller in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the payment by Seller of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment,
Income or any other payment or fees. Seller hereby acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are recourse obligations of Seller. 
 (b)
Seller agrees to pay as and when billed by Administrative Agent or any Buyer (i) all Indemnified Amounts provided in Section 20(a), (ii) all of the costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Buyers, in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith
including without limitation all the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of outside counsel to Administrative Agent and any Buyer, (iii) all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation and
administration of the Transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation all the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and expenses of outside counsel to Administrative Agent and any Buyer and (iv) all costs
and expenses contemplated by Section 14(b)(v) (collectively, “Transaction Costs”); provided, that, Buyer and its counsel shall endeavor to keep the aggregate legal expenses hereunder at or below $7,000 per
Transaction. 
  

	21.	 DUE DILIGENCE 



Seller acknowledges that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to
the Purchased Assets, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or determining or re-determining the Asset Base Component for purposes of
Section 4 of this Agreement, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of
the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports and Appraisals on the applicable collateral and otherwise regenerating the information used to originate such Purchased Assets. Upon reasonable prior notice to Seller,
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Asset Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents,
records, agreements, instruments or information relating to any Purchased Asset in the possession or under the control of Seller, any servicer or sub-servicer and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available
to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Asset Files, the Servicing Records and the Purchased Assets. Seller agrees to cooperate
with Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and 

  
 70 








 
any third party underwriter designated by Administrative Agent or any Buyer in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Buyers, and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of such Seller. Seller agrees to reimburse
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, for any and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, in connection with continuing due diligence on Eligible Assets and Purchased Assets,
including, without limitation, the cost of annual updated Appraisals in an amount not to exceed $25,000 annually on the Mortgaged Properties. 
  

	22.	 SERVICING 



(a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets will be sold by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, on
a servicing released basis. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, hereby agree and confirm that from and after the date hereof, only such Servicing Agreements that have been approved by Administrative
Agent, on behalf of Buyers, shall govern the servicing of the Purchased Assets and any prior agreement between Seller and any other Person or otherwise with respect to such servicing is hereby superseded in all respects. Provided that
Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Servicer Acknowledgment from Servicer, prior to an Event of Default, Seller may retain Servicer, on behalf of Administrative Agent, to service the Purchased Assets for the benefit of or on
behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers; provided, however, that the obligation of Servicer to service any Purchased Asset for the benefit of or on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, as aforesaid shall
cease upon the repurchase of such Purchased Asset by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Servicer Acknowledgment. 

(b) Seller agrees that, as between Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, is the
owner of all servicing records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other
closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Assets (the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased Assets are subject to this Agreement. Seller
covenants to safeguard any such Servicing Records in Seller’s possession and to deliver them promptly to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or its designee (including Custodian) at Administrative Agent’s request. 

(c) Seller shall not, and shall not provide consent to Servicer to, employ any other sub-servicers to
service the Purchased Assets without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, which approval shall be in Administrative Agent’s, sole discretion. 

(d) Seller shall cause Servicer and any other sub-servicers engaged on behalf of Administrative Agent
to execute a Servicing Agreement with Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, or a Servicer Acknowledgment acknowledging Administrative Agent’s, on behalf of Buyers, interest in the Purchased Assets and the Servicing Agreement and
agreeing that Servicer and any sub-servicer (if applicable) shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased Assets in the Blocked Account, all in such manner as shall be reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. 
 (e) To the extent applicable, Seller shall cause Servicer to permit Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, to
inspect Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying such party that Servicer has the ability to service such Purchased Asset as provided in this Agreement. 

  
 71 








 (f) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, sell the Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis without payment of any termination fee or any other amount to Servicer. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Buyers, shall have the right immediately to terminate Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee. 
  

	23.	 TREATMENT FOR TAX PURPOSES 



It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Transactions constitute a
debt financing, and that Seller is, and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will continue to be, treated as the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and
Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, agree to treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state or local taxing authority. 

 

	24.	 INTENT 



(a) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder is a “master netting agreement” as that
term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (b) The parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement and each
Transaction (other than with respect to a Mezzanine Loan) hereunder is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(c) The parties intend and acknowledge that the Guaranty is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in
Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (d) The parties intend and acknowledge that any payments or transfers of property made
with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction to satisfy a Margin Deficit shall be considered “margin payments” or settlement payments” as such terms are defined in Sections 741(5) and 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code or a transfer
as defined under Section 101(54) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (e) The parties intend and acknowledge that the grants of security
interests set forth in the Pledge Agreement and Section 6 that create the pledge of the Repurchase Assets, the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c), 6(d) or 6(f) and the Mezzanine Loan Repurchase
Assets each constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and
741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (f) The parties intend and acknowledge that any provisions hereof or in any other document,
agreement or instrument that is related in any way to the servicing of the Purchased Assets shall be deemed “related to” this Agreement within the meaning of Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(g) Each party hereto recognizes and intends that this Agreement be and is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject
to assumption pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365(a). 
 (h) Each party hereto agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby
waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, the characterization of this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder as a “securities contract” or a “master netting agreement” within the meaning
of the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 72 








 (i) It is understood that, for so long as the
non-defaulting party is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Sections 555, 561, 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 546(e) or 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, that
party shall be entitled to the “safe harbor” benefits and protections afforded under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a “securities contract” and a “master netting agreement.” Accordingly, such party’s
(i) right to liquidate the Purchased Assets, Repurchase Assets, the other collateral specified in Sections 6(c), 6(d) or 6(f) and/or Mezzanine Loan Repurchase Assets delivered to it in connection with the Transactions
hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction and/or this
Agreement as described in Bankruptcy Code Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) right to offset or net out as set forth Section 26 is a contractual right, (iii) right to exercise these contractual
rights shall not be subject to the automatic stay as set forth in Bankruptcy Code Sections 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) and (iv) right not have transfers made in connection with this Agreement avoided as set forth in Sections 546(e) and 546(j)
of the Bankruptcy Code is a contractual right. 
 (j) The parties agree and acknowledge that the grant of setoff rights as set forth in
Section 26 is a contractual right of setoff within the meaning of Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (k)
The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the FDIA, then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in
the FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

(l) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to FDICIA and each payment
entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation,” respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA
(except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of,
or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation or acceleration of, or
to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in connection with this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(m) The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be separated from the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement, and such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute (a) “related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a
security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents. 
  

	25.	 DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 



The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the 1934
Act, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 

(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered
with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; 

  
 73 








 (c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds
held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable; and 

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

	26.	 SETOFF RIGHTS 



Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or Buyers, Administrative Agent and Buyers shall have the right, without
prior notice to Seller, and any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) in any
currency, and any other obligation (including to return excess margin), credits, indebtedness, claims, securities, collateral or other property, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured,
at any time held or owing by or due from Administrative Agent, Buyers, or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit of the account of Seller or Guarantor to any obligations of Seller hereunder to Administrative Agent or Buyers. If a sum or
obligation is unascertained, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, may estimate that obligation and set off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. This
Section 26 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of setoff, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or
otherwise). 
  

	27.	 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 



(a) Agent for Buyers. 

(i) Each of Seller and each Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent has been appointed the
Administrative Agent for the Transactions, and each Buyer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to act as agent for and in the best interest of Buyers and to take such actions as Buyers are obligated or entitled to take
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. This Agreement is not intended to be,
and shall not be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture between Administrative Agent and any Buyer. In performing its functions and duties under the Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of
Buyers and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Seller. 

(ii) The agency created pursuant hereto shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any
additional duties or obligations upon, any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Buyer. With respect to its interest in the Transactions, except as specifically
provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as a Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it, as Administrative Agent, hereunder. The
term “Buyers” or “Buyer” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any Buyer that becomes Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement


  
 74 








 
in its individual capacity as a Buyer and not as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent, Buyers and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Seller or any of its Affiliates (in each case not related to the Transactions) as if it were not performing its duties as Administrative Agent or Buyer (as applicable)
specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Seller or its Affiliates for services in connection therewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Administrative Agent or the other Buyers, as applicable. 

(iii) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 27, each Buyer hereby
irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Buyer (i) to
enter into Transaction Documents and any amendments or modifications thereof, (ii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and Transaction Documents to create, perfect, maintain, and preserve Administrative Agent’s, on behalf
Buyers, Liens therein, (iii) to take action with respect to the Transactions and the Transaction Documents to transfer the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers, and (iv) to execute instruments of release and
terminations or to take other action necessary to release liens upon any Purchased Asset. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney,
under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an
officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 27(a)(iii) to Administrative Agent is granted
for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Transaction Documents remain in effect. 

(iv) Each Buyer acknowledges and agrees that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Co-Buyer Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive representative of Buyers on all matters relating to the Transactions,
this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and, subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the Co-Buyer Agreement, each Buyer shall be bound by the acts of Administrative Agent with respect
to the Transactions. 
 (b) Administrative Agent Standard of Care. Administrative Agent shall administer and service its obligations
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and shall make such decisions and take such actions as it shall in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection therewith, in each case consistent with the
Standard of Care. 
 (c) Return of Certain Payments. 

(i) Each Buyer (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a participation) hereby acknowledges and
agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Buyer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Buyer (any of the foregoing, a “Erroneous Payment
Recipient”) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Erroneous Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment
Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of any Repurchase Price, Price Differential, Principal Payment, Income, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such
Payment, 

  
 75 








 
such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment as to which
such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 27(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(ii) Without limitation of clause (i) above, each Erroneous Payment Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that
if such Erroneous Payment Recipient receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Erroneous Payment Recipient otherwise
becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands and agrees at the time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such
error) with respect to such Payment. Each Erroneous Payment Recipient agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no
event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made. 

(iii) Any Payment required to be returned by an Erroneous Payment Recipient under this Article 27(c) shall be
made in immediately available funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Erroneous Payment Recipient to the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. Each Erroneous
Payment Recipient hereby agrees that it shall not assert and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of
set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any
similar doctrine. 
 (iv) Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor hereby agrees that (x) in the event any Payment (or portion
thereof) is not recovered from any Buyer that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Buyer with respect to such amount and (y) the receipt by any
Erroneous Payment Recipient of a Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Repurchase Obligations owed to such Buyer by Seller, Guarantor or Pledgor. 

(d) Ratable Share. The liabilities of each Buyer under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be several and not
joint, no Buyer shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Buyer, and each Buyer shall be liable to Seller only for its respective pro rata share of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by
Seller and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Buyer in accordance with its share of the Transactions. 

(e) Co-Buyer Agreement. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer and Administrative
Agent may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more Co-Buyer Agreements governing the relationship among the parties thereto. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent’s
discretion under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be subject to the limitations in any such Co-Buyer Agreements, including the requirement that Administrative Agent obtain


  
 76 








 
approval of Buyer prior to granting certain consents or approvals or taking certain actions under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents. Any
Co-Buyer Agreements are intended and will be solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the applicable parties thereto, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller, Guarantor nor any
Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor shall be a third-party beneficiary (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, or have any rights thereunder or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither Administrative
Agent nor Buyer shall have any obligation to provide a copy of any Co-Buyer Agreement to Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor or to disclose to Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller
or Guarantor the contents of any Co-Buyer Agreement. Administrative Agent and Buyers acknowledge and agree that neither Seller, Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor shall have any liabilities,
obligations or duties of any kind with respect to any Co-Buyer Agreement, nor any of the provisions contained therein. The obligations of Seller, Guarantor and Pledgor under the Transaction Documents are and
will be independent of any Co-Buyer Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the provisions thereof (although Seller acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions
hereunder and subject to the Fee Letter, any Co-Buyer Agreement may require Administrative Agent to consult with or receive the approval of Buyer prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding
the same). 
 (f) Successor Administrative Agents. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Transaction
Documents upon notice to Buyers and Seller. If Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed by Buyers, then Buyers shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that such successor Administrative Agent meets the applicable “know
your customer” requirements of the Servicer and Custodian. The term “Administrative Agent” shall mean each such successor Administrative Agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or successors thereto. After
any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Transaction Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an
Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. In no event shall there be more than one Administrative Agent hereunder. 
  

	28.	 MISCELLANEOUS 



(a) The Transaction Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are
proprietary to Administrative Agent and Buyers, and shall be held by Seller in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of Administrative Agent and Buyers, except for (i) disclosure to Seller’s
Affiliates, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants (the “Representatives”); provided that Seller shall (A) inform each of its Representatives receiving any Transaction Documents of the confidential nature of the
Transaction Documents, (B) direct its Representatives to treat the Transaction Documents confidentially, and (C) be responsible for any improper use of the Transaction Documents by Seller or its Representatives or (ii) upon prior
written notice to Administrative Agent (if permitted by law), disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body or (iii) upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent (if permitted by law), disclosure
to any Approved Hedge Counterparty to the extent necessary to obtain any Hedging Transaction hereunder or (iv) any disclosures or filing required under SEC or state securities’ laws; provided that, in the case of disclosure by any
party pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), Seller shall provide Administrative Agent with prior written notice to permit Administrative Agent or any Buyer to seek a protective order to take other appropriate
action; provided further that, in the case of clause (iv), Seller shall not file any of the Transaction Documents other than this Agreement with the SEC or state securities office unless Seller shall have provided at least
thirty (30) days (or such lesser time as may be demanded by the SEC or state securities office) prior written notice of such filing to Administrative Agent. Seller shall cooperate in Administrative Agent’s or any Buyer’s, efforts to
obtain a 

  
 77 








 
protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Transaction Documents. If, in the absence of a protective order, Seller or any of its
Representatives is compelled as a matter of law to disclose any such information, Seller may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of the Transaction Documents as is required by law to be disclosed (in which case, prior to such
disclosure, Seller shall advise and consult with Administrative Agent or any Buyer, and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure) and Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor.
Administrative Agent and Buyers acknowledge that this Agreement may be filed with the SEC; provided that Seller shall redact any pricing and other confidential provisions, including, without limitation, the amount of any Annual Fee, Extension
Fee, Exit Fee, Facility Increase Fee, Applicable Spread and Purchase Percentage from such filed copy of this Agreement to the extent permitted to do so by the SEC or such state authority. 

(b) Seller shall, with respect to all Purchased Assets, comply with the applicable provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the
“GLB Act”) and any applicable state and local privacy laws pursuant to the GLB Act for financial institutions and applicable state and local privacy laws. Seller agrees to hold Administrative Agent, Buyers, and their respective
Affiliates and each of its officers, directors and employees (each, a “GLB Indemnified Party”) harmless from and indemnify any GLB Indemnified Party against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such GLB Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of Seller’s violation of the GLB Act or any applicable state or local privacy laws with respect to the Purchased Assets. 

(c) No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and
no exercise of any remedy hereunder by Administrative Agent shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure here
from shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyers (in accordance with the Co-Buyer Agreement). 

(d) Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all Transactions thereunder, and all references to a time shall mean New York
time in effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the Transaction Documents; provided that this Section 27(d) shall not override or otherwise shorten any cure or grace period expressly provided in the Transaction
Documents. 
 (e) All rights, remedies and powers of Administrative Agent or any Buyer hereunder and in connection herewith are irrevocable
and cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of Administrative Agent or any Buyer, whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to it in
this Agreement to the extent applicable, Administrative Agent and each Buyer, shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law. 

(f) This Agreement and the Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents may be delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, or by other electronic transmission, in portable
document format (.pdf) or otherwise, and each such executed facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic record shall be considered an original executed counterpart for purposes of this Agreement and any Transaction Document. Each party to this Agreement
(a) agrees that it will be bound by its own Electronic Signature (as such term is defined immediately below), (b) accepts the Electronic Signature of each other party to this Agreement and any Transaction Document, and (c) agrees that such
Electronic Signatures shall be the legal equivalent of manual signatures. The term “Electronic Signature” means (i) the signing party’s manual signature on a signature page, converted by the signing party (or its agent) to
facsimile or digital form (such as a .pdf file) 

  
 78 








 
and received from the customary email address or customary facsimile number of the signing party (or its counsel or representative), or other mutually agreed-upon authenticated source; or
(ii) the signing party’s digital signature executed using a mutually agreed-upon digital signature service provider and digital signature process. The words “execution,” “executed”, “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in this paragraph shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to include Electronic Signatures and the use and keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall have the same legal effect,
validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures and the use of paper records and paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other state law. 
 (g) The
headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the Transaction Documents. 

(h) Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement. 
 (i) This Agreement, the Fee Letter and each Confirmation contains a final and complete integration of all prior
expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings. 

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

(k) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same
shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or through its agent
prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement. 
 (l) Seller agrees that it
shall not assert any claims against Administrative Agent or any Buyer, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages for the actual use or purported use of proceeds hereunder. 

(m) Unless the context otherwise requires, whenever the words “including”, “include”, or “includes” are used
herein, they shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.
