        and Section 3(q) of this Agreement, if any); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with termination of all Transactions and repurchase of all Purchased Assets, in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay an amount under
        this clause (iii) greater than the Aggregate Repurchase Price for all Purchased Assets and all other Repurchase Obligations then outstanding;

       

      (iv)        if such repurchase occurs prior to expiration of the Lockout Period,
        Seller shall have paid to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, the applicable Spread Maintenance Premium; provided that no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with any repurchase pursuant to Section 3(i)(B)(I)(solely
        to the extent such repurchase is made in connection with the termination of all Transactions hereunder and repayment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price and the other Repurchase Obligations in full), 3(i)(C), 3(i)(D) or 3(i)(E);
        and

       

      (v)           any such repurchase in connection with a sale by Seller of a
        Purchased Asset to an affiliate of Seller shall be on an arm’s length basis.

       

      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
        on a servicing-released basis, and any Income in respect thereof received by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, (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 Buyer, of the amounts required pursuant to this Section 3(i), and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have simultaneously and automatically released
        its security interest in such Purchased Asset, shall make the deliveries required pursuant to Section 6(e).

       

      
        23

        
          

      

      (j)          Prior to expiration of the Lockout Period, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and the same would be cured as a result of a partial repayment,
        Seller may repay the Repurchase Price with respect to one or more Purchased Assets in part (but only to the extent necessary to effect such cure) at any time upon two (2) Business Days prior written notice from Seller to Administrative Agent; provided,
        however, that any such payment shall be adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage and 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.  Any prepayment of the Repurchase Price pursuant to this Section 3(j) shall reduce the Purchase Price of the related Purchased Asset.

       

      (k)          So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing (unless the same would be cured as a result of such repayment), after expiration of the Lockout
        Period, 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 adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage and 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 pursuant to this clause 3(k) shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.  Any prepayment of the Repurchase Price pursuant to this Section 3(k) shall reduce the Purchase
        Price of the related Purchased Asset.

       

      (l)          If (i) Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that, by reason
        of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, (ii) the LIBOR Rate determined or to be determined will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as reasonably
        determined by Administrative Agent) of making or maintaining Transactions, or (iii) LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index, then the Pricing Rate shall be converted from the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Spread to the Alternate Rate plus
        Alternate Rate Spread; provided, that in no event shall the sum of the Alternate Rate plus the Alternate Rate Spread be less than the Applicable Spread.  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall give email or telephonic notice thereof to
        Seller as soon as practicable thereafter.

       

      (m)        Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
        application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect LIBOR Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (i) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new LIBOR Transactions and to continue LIBOR Transactions as such
        shall forthwith be canceled, and (ii) the LIBOR Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Alternate Rate Transactions.

       

      (n)          If Administrative Agent shall 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 (including, without limitation changes in any Reserve Requirements and any other increase in cost to Buyer) has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall have asserted that it is unlawful, for Buyer to enter into any
        Transaction or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Buyer to enter into any Transaction, then on notice thereof by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to Seller, any obligations of Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to enter into Transactions shall be suspended until Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, notifies Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

       

      (o)          Upon demand by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any loss, cost or expense (not to include any lost
        profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that Buyer actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) 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, (ii) any payment of all or any portion of the Repurchase Price, as the case may be, on any day other than a Remittance Date, (iii) [reserved], (iv) Administrative Agent’s
        enforcement of the terms of any of the Transaction Documents or (v) any actions taken to perfect or continue any lien created under any Transaction Document.  A certificate as to such losses, costs and expenses, setting forth the calculations
        therefor shall be submitted promptly by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to Seller in writing and shall be prima facie evidence of the information set forth therein, absent manifest error.  This Section
          3(o) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.

       

      
        24

        
          

      

      (p)          If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy, including
        the Reserve Requirements or any other reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to extensions of credit or other assets of Buyer or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling
        Buyer with any request or directive regarding such requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such
        corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s
        policies with respect to such requirements) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after submission by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to Seller of a written request therefor,
        Seller shall pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction.  A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(p)
        shall be submitted by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to each reduction in the rate of return as described above, this Section
          3(p) shall survive for a period of six (6) months from the date of the incurrence of such reduction by Buyer.  This Section 3(p) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the
        Purchased Assets.  This Section 3(p) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

       

      (q)         Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under this Agreement 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, 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, 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(q), Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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, on behalf of Buyer.  Seller shall indemnify
        Buyer, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person 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 Administrative Agent,
        on behalf of Buyer, or such transferee shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

      (r)         If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under the Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent, on
        behalf of Buyer, shall deliver to Seller, prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as will permit such
        payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Seller as will
        enable Seller to determine whether or not 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 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 Buyer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

       

      
        25

        
          

      

      (i)           if Buyer is a United States person, it shall deliver to Seller 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 Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding
        tax;

       

      (ii)          if Buyer is not a United States person, it shall, to the extent it
        is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) on or prior to the date on which 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 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‐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‐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 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‐E; or

       

      (D)          to the extent Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‐8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‐8ECI, IRS Form 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 Buyer is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
        Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

       

      (iii)         if Buyer is not a United States person, it shall, to the extent it
        is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Seller (in such number of copies as shall be requested by Seller) 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 any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
        applicable law to permit Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

       

      (iv)          if a payment made to Buyer under any Transaction Document would be
        subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if 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), Buyer shall deliver
        to Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
        documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine whether Buyer has complied with 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 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 in writing of its legal inability to do so.

       

      (s)         If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to
        this Article 3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 3(q)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Article 3 with respect to
        the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such
        indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3(s) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
        in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3(s), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
        indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3(s) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts
        giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
        party or any other Person.

       

      
        26

        
          

      

      (t)          If any of the events described in Section  3(o), Section 3(p) or Section 3(q) result in Buyer’s request for additional amounts, then,
        notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller may elect, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to terminate all of the Transactions and this Agreement and repurchase all of the Purchased
        Assets, subject to payment of the Aggregate Repurchase Price and all other Repurchase Obligations in full.  The election by Seller to terminate the Transactions in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(t) shall not
        relieve Seller of liability with respect to any additional amounts or increased costs actually incurred by Buyer prior to the actual repurchase of the Purchased Assets.  In addition, if LIBOR has been converted to an Alternate Index by
        Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement and Seller shall not have consented to such Alternate Index and/or the applicable Alternate Rate Spread determined by Administrative Agent, Seller may elect at any time during the 90-day period
        following such conversion, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to terminate all of the Transactions and this Agreement and repurchase all of the Purchased Assets, subject to payment of the Aggregate Repurchase
        Price and all other Repurchase Obligations in full.  Buyer agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement (including Section 3(i)) no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Seller in connection with the
        repurchase of the Purchased Assets in accordance with this Section 3(t).

       

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

       

      (v)         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, 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 PREPAYMENT

                

        

      

       

      (a)          Not later than ten (10) Business Days following written demand by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, in connection with the occurrence of any of the events
        described below or in Section 6 of the Fee Letter (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”), Seller shall repay, as applicable, the Aggregate Repurchase Price or the Repurchase Price of the applicable Purchased Assets in the applicable amount
        required by the provisions below (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment”), which amount shall be adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage.  Any repayment required pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(v) shall be applied
        to the outstanding Purchase Price for each Purchased Asset pro rata, and any repayment required pursuant to Section 6 of the Fee Letter or Sections 4(a)(ii) through 4(a)(iv) shall be applied to reduce the Purchase Price of
        the applicable Purchased Asset.

       

      
        27

        
          

      

      (i)          In the event Seller shall have delivered notice to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, of the exercise of the second Extension Option hereunder, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall redetermine the Portfolio LTV of the Purchased Assets based on updated Appraisals obtained by Seller, at Seller’s
        expense (except that Administrative Agent agrees to accept Appraisals obtained by Seller dated no earlier than six (6) months prior to the then-current Facility Termination Date), which updated Appraisals shall be delivered to Administrative Agent
        no later than 30 days prior to then-applicable Facility Termination Date.  If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, determines that the Portfolio LTV exceeds the Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold based on such updated Appraisals, Seller
        shall be required to repay the Aggregate Repurchase Price in an amount sufficient to cause the Portfolio LTV to equal the Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold.

       

      (ii)         In the event any Mortgagor shall have repaid the principal balance of
        any Purchased Asset to satisfy any debt yield, debt service coverage ratio and/or loan-to-value requirement contained in the related Purchased Asset Documents, Seller shall make a repayment of the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset such that
        after giving effect to such repayment, the outstanding Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset is no greater than the product of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset (after giving effect to the principal payment made by
        Mortgagor) multiplied by (ii) the Maximum Purchase Price Percentage.

       

      (iii)         If any Purchased Asset shall become a Defaulted Asset, then Seller
        shall, upon Administrative Agent’s approval of an Independent Appraiser for such purpose, promptly order an updated Appraisal and if the Asset Exposure Ratio of such Purchased Asset exceeds the Maximum Asset Exposure Ratio, Seller shall repay the
        Repurchase Price of such Purchased Asset such that after giving effect to such payment, the Asset Exposure Ratio is equal to Maximum Asset Exposure Ratio.

       

      (iv)          If the Maximum Purchase Price Percentage of any Defaulted Asset
        shall be reduced in accordance with the Fee Letter, Seller shall repay the Repurchase Price of such Defaulted Asset such that after giving effect to such repayment, the Purchase Price of such Purchased Asset is no greater than the product of (i)
        the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Asset multiplied by (ii) the applicable Maximum Purchase Price Percentage (as reduced in accordance with the Fee Letter).  In the event the Maximum Purchase Price Percentage of any Defaulted Asset
        is reduced to 0% in accordance with the Fee Letter, Seller shall be entitled to repurchase such Purchased Asset in accordance with Section 3(i).

       

      (v)          Following receipt of the updated Appraisals required to be delivered
        by Seller in accordance with Section 12(f)(vii), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall redetermine the Portfolio LTV of the Purchased Assets based on such updated Appraisals (and, if Seller shall have  delivered an updated
        Appraisal with respect to Purchased Asset #4 on Schedule 1 to the Fee Letter, Administrative Agent shall include such Appraisal in its redetermination).  If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, determines that the Portfolio LTV exceeds the
        Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold based on such updated Appraisals, Seller shall be required to repay the Aggregate Repurchase Price in an amount sufficient to cause the Portfolio LTV to equal the Maximum Portfolio Exposure Threshold.

       

      (b)          In the event that Seller is required to make a Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to this Section 4 and has contemporaneously requested an Additional Advance or
        True Up Advance or Future Advance Purchase with respect to any Purchased Asset, at Seller’s request, Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller to net the applicable payments.

       

      
        
          	5.	
                  INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

                

        

      

       

      (a)          On or before the date hereof, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, 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 the time periods specified in the Servicing Agreement.  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.

       

      
        28

        
          

      

      (b)        Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Remittance Date, all Income (other than Principal Payments) in respect of the Purchased
        Assets and the associated Hedging Transactions received by Depository Bank during the Collection Period and on deposit in the Blocked Account shall be applied as follows:

       

      (i)            first, to remit to
        Servicer an amount equal to any unpaid Qualified Servicing Expenses (to the extent not retained by such Servicer), if any, due and payable on such Remittance Date;

       

      (ii)          second, to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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, (A) to Administrative Agent, any accrued and unpaid fees due
        and payable by Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (B) to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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, to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, the amount of any then unpaid Mandatory Prepayment (as adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage), to the extent of remaining funds available in the Blocked Account; and

       

      (v)           fifth, to Seller, the
        remainder, if any for its own account.

       

      If, on any Remittance Date, the amounts deposited in the Blocked Account shall be insufficient to make the payments required under (ii) and (iii)(A) 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 Principal Payment (including net sales proceeds (i.e., after payment of the applicable Release
        Repurchase Price), prepayments and principal payments at maturity) in respect of any Purchased Asset received by Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Blocked Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement shall be applied as soon as
        practicable thereafter (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after deposit in the Blocked Account) as follows:

       

      (i)           first, to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, an amount equal to the product of the amount of such Principal Payment multiplied by the applicable Purchase Price Percentage (adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage), which amount shall be applied by
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, to reduce the Purchase Price of the applicable Purchased Asset(s);

       

      (ii)          second, (A) to
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, an amount equal to the Price Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of the amount of the Purchase Price reduced in accordance with clause (i) above and (B) to Administrative Agent, any
        accrued and unpaid fees due and payable by Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents in respect of the amount of the Purchase Price reduced in accordance with clause (i) above;

       

      (iii)         third, to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, the amount of any then unpaid Mandatory Prepayment (adjusted, if applicable, by the Prepayment Percentage), to the extent of remaining Principal Payments available in the Blocked Account;

       

      (iv)          fourth, if a Sequential Pay
        Trigger Event is continuing, to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, all remaining Principal Payments until the Aggregate Repurchase Price and all other Repurchase Obligations have been reduced to zero (with any such reductions to be applied
        to reduce the Purchase Prices of the Purchased Assets, pro rata); and

       

      
        29

        
          

      

      (v)           fifth, to Seller, the
        remainder, if any for its own account.

       

      (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’s sole discretion pursuant to Section 14(b)(ii).

       

      (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 Buyer, pursuant to this Section 5, and for any reason such amount is required to be returned by Administrative Agent or Buyer to an obligor
        under such Purchased Asset (either before or after the Repurchase Date), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, may provide Seller with notice of such required return, and Seller shall pay the amount of such required return to Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following Seller’s receipt of such notice.

                  SECURITY INTEREST

                

        

      

       

      (a)         Administrative Agent, Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer 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 Buyer, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer,
        a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, 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 Mortgaged 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; and

       

      (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.

       

      (b)          With respect to the security interest in the Repurchase Assets granted in Section 6(a) hereof, and with respect to the security interests granted in Sections
          6(c) and 6(d), Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall have all of the rights and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 Buyer, 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 Buyer, (to be filed in the filing office indicated therein) which financing statements may describe as the collateral covered thereby “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter
        acquired” or words to that effect, in such locations as may be necessary to perfect 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 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 Buyer, 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 rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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, on behalf of Buyer, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Seller’s rights under all Mezzanine Loans and Hedging Transactions relating to Purchased Assets and all proceeds
        thereof.  Seller shall take all action as is necessary or desirable to obtain consent to assignment of any such Hedging Transaction to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, and shall cause the counterparty under each such Hedging Transaction to
        enter into such document or instrument satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, Seller and such counterparty, pursuant to which such counterparty will covenant and agree to accept notice from Administrative Agent, on behalf of
        Buyer, to redirect payments under such Hedging Transaction as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, may direct.  So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, agrees that it will not redirect
        payments under any Hedging Transaction pledged to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(c).

       

      (d)          Seller hereby pledges to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and hereby grants to
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, a first priority security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to 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 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
        Buyer, Administrative Agent will deliver to Seller, at Seller’s expense, such documents, instruments and releases as may be reasonably necessary and requested by Seller to reconvey such Purchased Asset on a servicing-released basis and any Income
        related thereto to Seller, in each case free and clear of all Liens and adverse claims.

       

      (f)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to the contrary, Seller and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, hereby
        acknowledge and agree that any Transaction hereunder that includes a related Mezzanine Loan shall not be deemed a sale of such Mezzanine Loan by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, it being agreed that each Mezzanine Loan related to
        a Transaction hereunder has been pledged by Seller to Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(c) to secure the obligations of the Seller with respect to the Transactions, subject to the right of Seller to obtain a release of
        such pledge and Liens on such Mezzanine Loan in connection with the repurchase of the related Purchased Asset in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

                

        

      

       

      (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 Buyer, or its designee (including Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction. 
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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, Buyer and their respective successors and assigns.

       

      
        31

        
          

      

      (b)         Seller shall (A) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the Purchase Date, deliver to Custodian (with a copy to Administrative Agent,
        on behalf of Buyer), together with the Purchased Asset File Checklist, the Purchased Asset Documents identified in the Purchased Asset File Checklist delivered therewith, and (B) on the Purchase Date, cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt
        confirming receipt of such Purchased Asset Documents; provided that with respect to the NEMA Chicago Purchased Asset, Seller shall, (X) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Purchase Date, deliver or cause Bailee to deliver to Buyer, by

        Certificate (as applicable), (4) Title Policy, (5) Insured Closing Letter and Escrow Instructions, if any, and (6) the executed Bailee Agreement and Bailee’s Trust Receipt; (Y) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Business
        Day following the Purchase Date, deliver or cause Bailee to deliver and release to Custodian (with a copy to Buyer), together with a Purchased Asset File Checklist, the related Purchased Asset Documents, and (Z) not later than two (2) Business Days
        following receipt of such Purchased Asset Documents by Custodian, cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt confirming such receipt;

       

      provided that if Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, any of the original Purchased Asset Documents required to be delivered as originals (excluding the Mortgage Note, Mezzanine
        Note, the Assignment of Mortgage, the LLC Certificate and the Participation Certificate, originals of which must be delivered at the time required under the provisions above), Seller shall deliver a photocopy thereof and an Officer’s Certificate of
        Seller certifying that such copy represents a true and correct copy of the original and shall use 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 Buyer, may consent in its sole discretion, so long as Seller is, as certified in writing to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, 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 Buyer, shall, at its option, have the right
        to cancel the purchase of a Purchased Asset if all required originals have not been delivered as required in this Agreement.

       

      (c)        From time to time, Seller shall forward to Custodian additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or
        extension of a Purchased Asset approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, Custodian shall hold such other documents on behalf of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, and as
        Administrative Agent shall request from time to time.  With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to Seller in time to permit their delivery hereunder
        at the time required, in lieu of delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, a true copy thereof with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy
        of the original, which has been transmitted for recordation.  Seller shall deliver such original documents to Custodian promptly when they are received.  With respect to all of the Purchased Assets delivered by Seller to Administrative Agent, on
        behalf of Buyer, or its designee (including Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus Power of Attorney to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, irrevocably appointing Administrative Agent its attorney‐in‐fact with full power to, during the
        continuance of an Event of Default only, (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’s rights against any Purchased Assets and the related Purchased Asset Files and the Servicing Records.  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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.  The Purchased Asset Files shall be maintained in accordance with
        Custodial Agreement.  Any Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent 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 Buyer, as the
        owner thereof.  Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Asset File and the originals of the Purchased Asset File not delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Asset, and such retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity
        only.  The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the transfer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of the
        related Purchased Asset to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer.  Seller or its designee (including Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Asset File only in accordance with written instructions from Administrative Agent, 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.

      (iv)          Legal Opinion.  Opinions of counsel to Seller, Pledgor and

        Effect; (B) makes a claim or claims in an amount greater than $100,000; or (C) requires filing with the SEC in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules thereunder.  Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law. 
        Seller is not in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or Governmental Authority.

       

      (v)          No Broker.  Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment
        banker, agent or other Person (other than Administrative Agent, Buyer or an Affiliate of either of them) who may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to any Transaction
        Documents.

       

      (vi)        Good Title to Purchased Assets.  Immediately prior to the
        purchase of any Purchased Assets by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, (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 or as set forth in the related Purchased Asset 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 right to sell and transfer, such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, and, upon transfer of such Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall
        be the owner of such Purchased Assets (other than for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes) free of any adverse claim, subject to Seller’s rights pursuant to this Agreement.  In the event that the related Transaction is
        recharacterized as a secured financing of the Purchased Assets and with respect to the security interests granted in Section 6(a), Section 6(c) and Section 6(d), the provisions of this Agreement and the filing of the Filings
        are effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Repurchase Assets specified in Section 6(a) and the other collateral
        specified in Section 6(c) and Section 6(d), and Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall have a valid, perfected and enforceable first priority security interest in the Repurchase Assets and such other collateral, subject to
        no lien or rights of others other than as granted herein.

       

      (vii)        No Default; No Material Adverse Effect.  No Default or Event
        of Default exists under or with respect to the Transaction Documents.  To Seller’s knowledge, there are no facts or circumstances that have a Material Adverse Effect that Seller has not notified Administrative Agent of in writing.

       

      (viii)       Representations and Warranties Regarding Purchased Assets;
          Delivery of Purchased Asset File.  Each Purchased Asset sold hereunder, as of the applicable Purchase Date for the Transaction in question, conforms to the applicable representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit III attached
        hereto, except as has been disclosed to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, in an Exception Report prior to Administrative Agent’s issuance of the Confirmation or, in the case of a Delayed Purchased Asset, prior to the issuance of a restated
        Confirmation pursuant to Section 3(f).  It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit III hereto (as modified by any Exception Report disclosed to Administrative Agent in writing prior to
        Administrative Agent’s issuance of the Confirmation or, in the case of a Delayed Purchased Asset, prior to the issuance of a restated Confirmation pursuant to Section 3(f)), shall survive delivery of the respective Purchased Asset File to
        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, or its designee (including Custodian).  With respect to each Purchased Asset, the Purchased Asset File and any other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement for
        such Purchased Asset have been delivered (or, with respect to a Delayed Purchased Asset, will have been delivered on or prior to the related Purchase Date) to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, or Bailee, as applicable, or to Custodian on
        behalf of Administrative Agent.  Seller or its designee is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Asset File with respect to each Purchased Asset, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to Custodian.

       

      
        35

        
          

      

      (ix)        Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer.  After giving
        effect to each Transaction (A) the amount of the “present fair saleable value” of the assets of Seller and of Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will, as of such date, exceed the amount of all “liabilities of Seller and of Seller and
        its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, contingent or otherwise”, as of such date, as such quoted terms are determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, (B) the present fair
        saleable value of the assets of Seller and of Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will, as of such date, be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the liabilities of Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on their
        respective debts as such debts become absolute and matured, (C) neither Seller, nor Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to conduct their respective
        businesses, and (D) Seller and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be able to pay their respective debts as they mature.  Seller does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
        mature.  Seller is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Seller or any of its
        assets.  Seller is not transferring any Purchased Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.  For purposes of this Section 10(ix), “debt” means “liability on a claim”, “claim” means any (1) right to payment,
        whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and (2) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if
        such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

       

      (x)           Organizational Documents.  Seller has delivered to
        Administrative Agent true and correct certified copies of its organizational documents, together with all amendments thereto.

       

      (xi)          No Encumbrances.  There are (A) no outstanding rights,
        options, warrants or agreements on the part of Seller for a purchase, sale or issuance, in connection with the Purchased Assets (B) no agreements on the part of Seller to issue, sell or distribute the Purchased Assets and (C) no obligations on the
        part of Seller (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities or interest therein, except, in each of the foregoing instances, as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

       

      (xii)         No Investment Company or Holding Company.  Neither Seller nor
        Guarantor is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled by an investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

       

      (xiii)        Taxes.  Seller has filed or caused to be filed all U.S.
        federal and other material tax returns that would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and has paid all U.S. federal and other material Taxes imposed on it and any of its assets that are due and payable on or before
        the date hereof; no tax liens have been filed against any of Seller’s assets other than Permitted Encumbrances; and, to Seller’s knowledge, no claims are being asserted  with respect to any such Taxes.

       

      (xiv)        ERISA.  Except as would not individually or in the aggregate
        give rise to a Material Adverse Effect, neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate (A) sponsors or maintains any Plans or (B) makes any contributions to or has any liabilities or obligations (direct or contingent) with respect to any Plans.  Seller
        does not hold “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, and assuming that no portion of the Purchased Assets are funded by Buyer with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations, the consummation of the
        transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a non‐exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA, Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(C) of the Code that would subject the Buyer to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions
        imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

       

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

       

      (xvi)        Full and Accurate Disclosure.  To Seller’s actual knowledge,
        no information provided pursuant to or during the negotiation of the Transaction Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents (including any certification of Bailee),
        contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made when such statements and
        omissions are considered in the totality of the circumstances in question.

       

      
        36

        
          

      

      (xvii)      Financial Information.  All financial data concerning Seller,
        Guarantor and the REIT and, to Seller’s actual knowledge, all data concerning the Purchased Assets that has been delivered to Administrative Agent by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller or Seller’s advisors is true, complete and correct in all material
        respects and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable).  Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent, there has been no material adverse change in the business or
        financial condition of Seller or Guarantor or, to Seller’s actual knowledge, the Purchased Assets, or in the results of operations of Seller or Guarantor.

       

      (xviii)     Jurisdiction of Organization.  Seller’s jurisdiction of
        organization is the State of Delaware.

       

      (xix)       Location of Books and Records.  The location where Seller keeps
        its books and records is at its chief executive office at 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York, 10019, or such other address as Seller may notify Administrative Agent in writing from time to time pursuant to Section 12(j).

       

      (xx)         Authorized Representatives.  The duly authorized
        representatives of Seller are listed on, and true signatures of such authorized representatives are set forth on, Exhibit V attached to this Agreement.

       

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

       

      (xxii)      Regulatory Status.  Seller is not a “bank holding company” or a
        direct or indirect subsidiary of a “bank holding company” as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and Regulation Y thereunder of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

       

      (xxiii)      Hedging Transactions.  As of the Purchase Date for any
        Purchased Asset that is subject to a Hedging Transaction, each such Hedging Transaction is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, each counterparty thereto is an Affiliated Hedge Counterparty or a Qualified Hedge Counterparty, and
        no “Termination Event”, “Event of Default”, “Potential Event of Default” or any similar event, however denominated, has occurred with respect thereto.

       

      (xxiv)      Anti‐Money Laundering.  The operations of Seller, Guarantor and
        their Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with all applicable financial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, including those required by the Prescribed Laws, and no action, suit or proceeding by or
        before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving Seller or Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the Prescribed Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened.

       

      (xxv)       OFAC.

       

      (A)           None of Seller, any director, officer or employee of Seller, or to Seller’s knowledge, any agent, Affiliate or representative of Seller, is a Person that is, or is owned or controlled by a Person that is:  (1) the
        subject of any sanction administered or enforced by OFAC, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or Her Majesty’s Treasury (collectively, “Sanctions”); or (2) located, organized or resides in a country or territory that is
        the subject of comprehensive Sanctions (including, without limitation, Burma/Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

        subject of Sanctions.

      (xxvi)      Anti‐Corruption.

       

      (A)          None of Seller, its directors, officers, or employees, or, to Seller’s knowledge, any agent, Affiliate or representative of Seller or any Affiliate of them, has taken or will take any action in furtherance of an
        offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization or approval of the payment or giving of money, property, gifts or anything else of value, directly or indirectly, to any Person while knowing that all or some portion of the money or value will be
        offered, given or promised to anyone to improperly influence official action, to obtain or retain business or otherwise to secure any improper advantage, in each case in violation of applicable anti‐corruption or anti‐bribery laws.

       

      (B)          Seller and, to Seller’s knowledge, Seller’s Affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with applicable anti‐corruption laws and have instituted and maintained, and will continue to maintain, policies
        and procedures reasonably designed to promote and achieve compliance with such laws and with the representations and warranties contained in this Section 10(xxvi).

      (c)         Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, in and to the Purchased Assets and any Hedging Transactions against,

        and take any such other action as is necessary to obtain or preserve a first priority perfected security interest in the Purchased Assets and any Hedging Transactions.

       

      (d)         Seller will permit Administrative Agent or its designated representative to inspect any of Seller’s records with respect to all or any portion of the Purchased Assets
        and the conduct and operation of its business related thereto upon reasonable advance notice at such reasonable times during normal business hours and with reasonable frequency requested by Administrative Agent or its designated representative and
        to make copies of extracts of any and all thereof.

       

      (e)         If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Purchased Assets shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper
        (as each of the foregoing is defined under the UCC), such note, instrument or chattel paper shall be immediately delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, or its designee, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent
        or if any collateral or other security shall subsequently be delivered to Seller in connection with any Purchased Asset, Seller shall immediately deliver or forward such item of collateral or other security to Administrative Agent, on behalf of

        to the Mortgaged Properties securing any Purchased Asset, certificates or other evidence of such insurance coverage, together with a report on such coverage prepared by Midland or a third party insurance consultant; provided that, Seller shall have

      (vi)        such other information regarding the financial condition, operations
        or business of Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor, Manager, REIT or any Underlying Obligor as Administrative Agent may reasonably request including, without limitation, any such information that is otherwise necessary to allow Administrative Agent to
        monitor the Purchased Assets and/or compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents; and

       

      
        41

      (g)          Seller shall at all times comply in all material respects with all laws (including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws), ordinances, rules and regulations of any
        federal, state, municipal or other public authority having jurisdiction over Seller or any of its assets, and Seller shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence

      (h)         Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the prior written request of Administrative Agent, it shall  execute and deliver such further documents, provide such
        additional information and reports and perform such other acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to  fully effectuate the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3(i)
        shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent or Buyer to conduct any inquiry or decreasing Seller’s responsibility for its statements, representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.  In order to enable Administrative Agent
        and Buyer and their respective Affiliates to comply with any anti‐money laundering program and related responsibilities including, but not limited to, any obligations under the Prescribed Laws and regulations thereunder, Seller, on behalf of itself
        and its Affiliates, represents and covenants to Administrative Agent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates that:  (A) neither Seller, nor, any of its Affiliates, is a Prohibited Person and (B) Seller is not acting on behalf of or on behalf of any
        Prohibited Person.  Seller agrees to promptly notify Administrative Agent or a person appointed by Administrative Agent to administer its anti‐money laundering program, if applicable, of any change in information affecting this Section 12(h).

       

      (i)          Seller shall at all times keep proper books of records and accounts in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of its transactions in accordance with GAAP
        and set aside on its books from its earnings for each fiscal year all such proper reserves in accordance with GAAP.

       

      (j)          Seller shall advise Administrative Agent in writing of the opening of any new chief executive office of Seller or the closing of any such office and of any change in
        Seller’s name or the places where the books and records pertaining to the Purchased Assets are held not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to taking any such action.

       

      (k)         Seller shall pay when due all Transaction Costs.  Seller shall pay and discharge all Taxes, levies, liens and other charges, if any, on its assets and on the
        Purchased Assets that, in each case, in any manner would create any lien or charge upon the Purchased Assets, except for any such Taxes as are being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with
        respect to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

       

      (l)          Seller shall maintain its existence as a limited liability company organized solely and in good standing under the law of the State of Delaware and shall not
        dissolve, liquidate, merge with or into any other Person or otherwise change its organizational structure or documents or identity or incorporate or organize in any other jurisdiction.

       

      (m)        Seller shall maintain all records with respect to the Purchased Assets and the conduct and operation of its business with no less a degree of prudence than if the
        Purchased Assets were held by Seller for its own account and will furnish Administrative Agent, upon request by Administrative Agent or its designated representative, with information available to Seller with respect to the Purchased Assets and the
        conduct and operation of its business.

       

      (n)         Seller shall provide Administrative Agent with notice of each modification of any Purchased Asset Documents consented to by Seller (including such modifications which
        do not constitute a Significant Modification).

       

      (o)        Seller shall provide Administrative Agent with reasonable access to operating statements, the occupancy status and other property level information, in each case to
        the extent available to Seller, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, plus any such additional reports as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to the extent available to Seller.

       

      (p)          [intentionally omitted]

       

      
        42

        
          

      

      (q)         Seller shall not cause any Purchased Asset to be serviced by any servicer other than a servicer expressly approved in writing by Administrative Agent, on behalf of
        Buyer.  Seller shall provide written notification to Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day of Seller’s obtaining actual knowledge of any rating agency reducing the credit or servicer rating applicable to any servicer.

       

      (r)          If Seller shall at any time become entitled to receive or shall receive any rights, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange
        for a Purchased Asset, or otherwise in respect thereof, Seller shall accept the same as Buyer’s agent, hold the same in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, and deliver the same forthwith to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer,
        (or Custodian, as appropriate) in the exact form received, duly endorsed by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, if required, together with all related and necessary duly executed Transfer Documents to be held by Administrative
        Agent, on behalf of Buyer, hereunder as additional collateral security for the Transactions.  If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Purchased Assets shall be received by Seller, Seller shall, until such money or
        property is paid or delivered to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, hold such money or property in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, segregated from other funds of Seller, as additional collateral security for the
        Transactions.

       

      (s)         If Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor has entered into or shall enter into or amend a repurchase agreement, warehouse facility, credit facility or other similar
        arrangement with any Person which by its terms provides more favorable terms with respect to the Guarantor Financial Covenants or similar financial covenants than those set forth in the Guaranty (a “More Favorable Agreement”), then Seller
        shall give notice to Administrative Agent of such more favorable terms promptly, and in any case prior to the execution of such More Favorable Agreement in the case of a More Favorable Agreement that has not been executed, and shall enter into an
        amendment of this Agreement and/or the Guaranty in the case of a More Favorable Agreement that has not been executed, not less than ten (10) Business days after execution of such More Favorable Agreement, and in the case of an existing More
        Favorable Agreement, no later than ten (10) Business Days after notice is given pursuant to this Section 12(s), in order to incorporate such more favorable term(s) into the terms of this Agreement and/or the Guaranty, as applicable.

      (i)           At the option of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, exercised
        by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency with respect to Seller), 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).

       

      
        46

        
          

      

      (ii)           If Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, and applied to the Repurchase Obligations (and the remaining Income following application to the Repurchase Obligations, if any, shall be transferred to
        Seller); (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;  (C) Custodian shall, upon the request of Administrative Agent (with simultaneous copy of such request to Seller), deliver to Administrative Agent 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 Buyer, may, after ten (10) days’
        notice to Seller of its 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 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 of such Purchased Assets against the aggregate Repurchase Obligations.  The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Assets effected pursuant to this Section
          14(b)(iii) shall be applied:  first, to the costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyer in connection with Seller’s default; second, to the
        costs of cover and/or 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 Buyer shall not have received repayment in full of the Repurchase Obligations following its liquidation of the Purchased Assets, Administrative Agent
        may, in its sole discretion, pursue Seller 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 private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
        reasonable manner.  Accordingly, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Assets, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Administrative Agent to liquidate
        any Purchased Assets following the occurrence 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, on behalf of
        Buyer.

       

      (v)          Seller shall be liable to Administrative Agent and Buyer for (A) the
        amount of all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by Administrative Agent and Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all 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 expenses of any kind that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative
        Agent or Buyer 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 Buyer, may exercise any or all of
        the remedies available to Administrative Agent 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 may have.

       

      
        47

        
          

      

      (vii)        Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, may enforce its rights and
        remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Administrative Agent or Buyer 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 Buyer, each of Administrative Agent and Buyer shall have the right of set‐off set forth in Section 26 hereof.

       

      (ix)         Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable federal, state, foreign, 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 among 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 Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets against all of Seller’s obligations to Administrative Agent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Seller and Administrative Agent and/or Buyer or between Seller and any
          Affiliate of Administrative Agent and/or Buyer, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s or Buyer’s right
          to recover any deficiency.

       

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

      Administrative Agent, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the
        fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.  Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, Buyer and Seller agrees to perform all of its obligations
        in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder.

                  NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

          I hereto or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 16.  A notice

        prepaid delivery upon the first attempted delivery on a Business Day; or (iv) in the case of email, upon receipt of confirmation or receipt; provided that such emailed notice is also delivered as required in this Section 16.  A
        party receiving a notice that does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat such notice as having been properly given.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices
        pursuant to Section 4 hereof may be sent by electronic mail to the email addresses set forth on Annex I attached hereto; provided that such notice delivered by email shall be deemed to be given only upon receipt of
        confirmation of receipt by the receiving party.

                  NON‐ASSIGNABILITY

                

        

      

       

      (a)          The rights and obligations of Seller under the Transaction Documents, the Hedging Transactions and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Seller without the
        prior written consent of Administrative Agent.  Any attempt by Seller to assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be null and void, ab initio.

       

      (b)         Buyer may at any time sell participations in up to 100% of Buyer’s rights and/or obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided that  (i)  so long as
        no Event of Default has occurred, Buyer shall satisfy the applicable requirements in Section 17(c) below (including, without limitation, that the proposed participant be a Qualified Assignee that is not a Competitor or an Affiliate of a
        Competitor), (ii) Administrative Agent’s obligations, Buyer’s obligations and Seller’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (iii) Administrative Agent shall have consented to such participation, (iv) Seller
        shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive representative of Buyer on all matters relating to the Transactions, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents (subject to any Co-Buyer Agreement) and (v) Seller
        shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse Administrative Agent, Buyer or any other Person for any costs or expense relating to any such participation interest or to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent or Buyer for any costs that
        would not have been incurred by Buyer had no participation interests in such Transactions been issued or sold.

       

      (c)          Buyer may at any time sell and assign up to 100% of the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Transaction Documents, subject to the prior written consent of
        Administrative Agent, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit VIII.  From and after the effective date of such assignment, such assignee shall be a party and, to the extent
        provided in such assignment and assumption agreement, have the rights and obligations of Buyer under the Transaction Documents with respect to the percentage and amount of the aggregate Purchase Price allocated to it.  Notwithstanding the foregoing
        provisions of this Section 17 or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) Buyer shall have first obtained Seller’s prior written consent to any assignment or
        participation of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as such assignee or participant is a Qualified Assignee and not a Competitor or an
        Affiliate of a Competitor, (ii) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of such assignment or participation at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date thereof, (iii) Seller shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive
        representative of Buyer on all matters relating to the Transactions, this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents (subject to any Co-Buyer Agreement) and (iv) Seller shall not be charged for, incur or be required to reimburse
        Administrative Agent, Buyer or any other Person for any costs or expense relating to any such assignment or to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent or Buyer for any costs that would not have been incurred by Buyer had no assignment in such
        Transactions been issued or sold.  Notwithstanding the foregoing the consent of Seller shall not be required in connection with the participation or assignment to a Buyer or any Affiliate of a Buyer, so long as such assignee or participant is not a
        Competitor.

       

      (d)          As long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer may assign, participate or sell its rights and obligations under the Transaction
        Documents and/or any Transaction to any Person without prior notice to Seller and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 17(b) and Section 17(c) above; provided that prior written consent of Administrative Agent
        shall be required.

       

      (e)         Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain a copy of each assignment and a register for the recordation of the names
        and addresses of the assignees, and ownership rights in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or other interests (including the amount of all rights and interests held by any such Person) under this Agreement (as the same may be modified by any
        Co-Buyer Agreement).  The entries in such register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each of Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyer and their respective assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register pursuant
        to the terms hereof as the beneficial owner of the interests in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or other interests under this Agreement for all purposes.  If any assignee is a non‐U.S. Person, such assignee shall timely provide Seller with such
        forms as may be required to establish the assignee’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes and shall comply with Section 3(r) as if it were Buyer.  The register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from
        time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

       

      
        49

        
          

      

      (f)          If Buyer sells a participation, Buyer shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of
        each participant and the ownership rights of each participant in the Transactions, Purchased Assets or other interests under this Agreement.  The entries in such register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer shall treat each Person
        whose name is recorded in such register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  If any participant is a non‐U.S. Person, such participant shall timely provide Seller with
        such forms as may be required to establish such participant’s status for U.S. withholding tax purposes and shall comply with Section 3(r) as if it were Buyer. The register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time
        and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the register regarding participants (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a
        participant's beneficial interest in this Agreement) to any Person (other than Seller) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such beneficial interest in this Agreement or other obligation is in registered form
        under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c).

       

      (g)         Subject to the foregoing, the Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
        successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing in the Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their respective successors, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
        power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents.

       

      (h)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit Buyer from pledging its interest in the Purchased
        Assets hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank in support of borrowings made by Buyer from such Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank; provided, however, no such pledge shall release Buyer, as the case
        may be, from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee for Buyer, as the case may be, as a party hereto.

      (a)          This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof, except for Section 5‐1401 of
        the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.

       

      (b)        Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the non‐exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any
        appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

       

      (c)          To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of
        any court or from set‐off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party
        hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement.

       

      (d)         EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE
          MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY RIGHT OF JURISDICTION ON ACCOUNT OF ITS PLACE OF RESIDENCE OR DOMICILE AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS BY THE MAILING OF
          COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO IT AT ITS RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SPECIFIED HEREIN.  EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN
          ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 18 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR BUYER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER
          MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR BUYER TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST SELLER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

       

      
        50

        
          

      

      (e)        EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
          RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

                  NO RELIANCE; DISCLAIMERS

                

        

      

       

      (a)          Each party hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the performance under, the
        Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder:

       

      (i)           It is not relying (for purposes of making any investment decision or
        otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.

       

      (ii)          It has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business,
        investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed to be necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon its own
        judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed to be necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party.

       

      (iii)         It is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full
        understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks.

       

      (iv)          It is entering into the Transaction Documents and each Transaction
        thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes of speculation.

       

      (v)           It is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or
        commodity trading advisor for the other party and has not given the other party (directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guaranty or representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax, business,
        investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder.

       

      (b)         Each determination by Administrative Agent of the market value with respect to each Purchased Asset or the communication to Seller of any information pertaining to
        market value under this Agreement shall be made in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, subject to the following disclaimers:

       

      (i)           Administrative Agent has assumed and relied upon, with Seller’s
        consent and without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by Seller and reviewed by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent has not made any independent inquiry of any aspect of the Purchased Assets
        or the underlying collateral.  Administrative Agent’s view is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Administrative Agent as of, the date of any such determination or communication of
        information, and such view may change at any time without prior notice to Seller.

       

      (ii)          Determinations of market value and other information provided to
        Seller constitute a statement of Administrative Agent’s view of the value of one or more loans or other assets at a particular point in time and do not (A) constitute a bid for a particular trade, (B) indicate a willingness on the part of
        Administrative Agent, Buyer or any Affiliate of either of them 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.

       

      
        51

        
          

      

      (iii)         Determinations of market value and other information provided to
        Seller may vary significantly from valuation determinations and other information that may be obtained from other sources.

       

      (iv)         Determinations of market value and other information provided to
        Seller are communicated to Seller solely for its use and may not be relied upon by any other person and may not be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent
        Administrative Agent may withhold or delay in its sole and absolute discretion.

       

      (v)          Administrative Agent makes no representations or warranties with
        respect to any determination of market value or other information provided to Seller.  Neither Buyer nor Administrative Agent shall be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of any inaccuracy in such valuation determinations
        and other information provided to Seller, including as a result of any act of gross negligence or breach of any warranty.

      (a)         The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Purchased Assets will be sold by Seller to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, on a servicing released basis. 
        In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller and Administrative Agent hereby agree and confirm that from and after the date hereof, only such Servicing Agreements that have been approved by Administrative Agent 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.  So long as no Event of Default is continuing, 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 Buyer; 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 Buyer, 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 Servicing Agreement.

       

      (b)         Seller agrees that, as among Seller, Buyer and Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 or its designee (including Custodian) at Administrative Agent’s request.

       

      (c)        Except as expressly set forth in the Servicing Agreement, 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 which approval shall be in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

       

      (d)         To the extent required by Administrative Agent, Seller shall cause Servicer and any other sub‐servicers engaged on behalf of Administrative Agent to execute a
        servicer acknowledgment acknowledging interest of Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 to inspect Servicer’s servicing facilities for the purpose of satisfying
        Administrative Agent that Servicer has the ability to service such Purchased Asset as provided in this Agreement.

       

      (f)         Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, 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 Buyer, shall have the right immediately to terminate
        Servicer’s right to service the Purchased Assets without payment of any penalty or termination fee.

                  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 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, Administrative Agent and Buyer 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 (other than with respect to a Mezzanine Loan) 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) 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 grant of the security interest/pledge of the Purchased Assets and the other items collectively referred to as the
        Repurchase Assets in Section 6 constitutes “a security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the
        Bankruptcy Code.

       

      (d)          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.

       

      (e)         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.

       

      (f)          Each party hereto agrees that is shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, either (i) the
        characterization of this Agreement as a “securities contract” or a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) whether any payment or transfer described in Section 24(h) below is a “margin payment,” “settlement
        payment” or “transfer in connection with a securities contract” as such terms are used in Bankruptcy Code Section 546(e).

       

      (g)          It is understood that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate Purchased Assets (other than with respect to a Mezzanine Loan)
        delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 14 hereof is a contractual right to cause the acceleration, termination and/or liquidation of this Agreement as described in
        Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.  It is further understood and agreed that either party’s rights under Sections 14 and 26 constitute (i) contractual rights (as defined in Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code) under a security agreement or
        arrangement or other credit enhancement forming a part of or related to a securities contract and master netting agreement and/or (ii) contractual rights (as defined in Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code) to offset or net out any termination value,
        payment amount, or other transfer obligation arising under or in connection with one or more securities contracts and master netting agreements, as described in Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27) and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code.

       

      (h)          The parties intend and acknowledge that any payment or transfer of property made with respect to this Agreement or any Transaction is a “margin payment,” “settlement
        payment” or “transfer in connection with a securities contract” as such terms are used in Bankruptcy Code Section 546(e) and defined, as applicable, in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and 741(8).

       

      
        53

        
          

      

      (i)           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).

       

      (j)           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).

       

      
        
          	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;

       

      (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 Buyer, Administrative Agent and Buyer 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, Buyer or any Affiliate of either of them to or for the credit of the account of Seller to any obligations of Seller hereunder to Administrative Agent or Buyer.  If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Administrative
        Agent or Buyer, as applicable, 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; CO-BUYER AGREEMENT

                

        

      

       

      (a)          Appointment of Administrative Agent.

       

      (i)          Buyer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Administrative Agent
        as the Administrative Agent of such under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  Buyer irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent for Buyer, to take such action on its behalf and in Administrative Agent’s
        designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
        Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall not have any
        duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with Buyer or Seller, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
        Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent and in favor of Buyer or Seller.

       

      
        54

        
          

      

      (ii)          No Buyer shall have any right to modify or waive, or consent to the
        departure of any party from any provision of any Transaction Document, or secure or enforce the Repurchase Obligations.  All such rights, on behalf of Administrative Agent or Buyer, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of
        Administrative Agent for the pro-rata benefit of Buyer.  Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or
        refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including (i) the
        determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of a disbursement from the Blocked Account, and (iii) the exercise of remedies
        under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Buyer.

       

      (iii)         In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section
          27, 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 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 transfer the Purchased Assets to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Buyer, and (iii) to execute instruments of release and terminations or to take other
        action necessary to release 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 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.

       

      (b)         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.

       

      (c)         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 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, except as expressly set forth in the Fee Letter, 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.  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).

       

      
        55

        
          

      

      (d)          Modifications to Section 27. Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyer acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 27(c) (other than the
        last sentence thereof) solely govern the relationship among Buyer and Administrative Agent and do not alter or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Seller or otherwise apply to Seller. The provisions of this Section
          27 (other than the last sentence of Section 27(c)) may be modified pursuant to the terms of any Co-Buyer Agreement amongst the Buyers and Administrative Agent without Seller’s consent so long as such modifications do not alter any of Seller’s
        rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise alter the economic terms of the Transactions or the Transaction Documents in any manner.

       

      (e)          Successor Administrative Agents. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents upon notice to Buyer and Seller.  If
        Administrative Agent shall resign or be removed by Buyer, then Buyer, with the written consent of the Seller (provided that (i) Seller’s consent to the appointment of any Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer as Administrative Agent shall not be
        unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) no consent of the Seller will be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), 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)          Confidentiality. The Transaction Documents and their respective terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and transactions and notices thereunder, are
        proprietary to each of the Administrative Agent, Seller and Buyer (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) and shall be held by each Party in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed by a Party to any third party without
        the consent of the other Party except for (i) disclosure by a Party to its Affiliates, directors, attorneys, agents or accountants (the “Representatives”); provided that such Party 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 the other Party (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 the other Party,
        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 clause (ii) and (iv), such Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the other Party with prior written notice to permit the other Party to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action; provided 
        further that, in the case of clause (iv), such party shall not file any of the Transaction Documents other than this Agreement with the SEC or state securities office unless such Party 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 the other Party.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the other Party’s
        efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Transaction Documents.  If, in the absence of a protective order, a Party or any of its Representatives is compelled as a matter of
        law to disclose any such information, such Party may disclose to the person compelling disclosure only the part of the Transaction Documents as is requested or required by law to be disclosed and such Party shall use its commercially reasonable
        efforts to obtain confidential treatment therefor.  Each Party acknowledges that this Agreement may be filed with the SEC; provided that the filing Party shall redact any pricing and other confidential provisions, including, without limitation, the
        amount of any fees payable by Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents, Applicable Spread, Maximum Purchase Price Percentage and Purchase Price Percentage from such filed copy of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        in this Agreement, Administrative Agent, Buyer and their respective Representatives may disclose any Confidential Information, without notice to the Seller, to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including,
        without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of its business or that of its respective Representatives in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed
        authority.

       

      
        56

        
          

      

      (b)         Compliance with the GLB Act. 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, Buyer 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)         Waiver. No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by Administrative Agent or Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no
        exercise of any remedy hereunder by Administrative Agent or Buyer 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 Administrative Agent and Seller (subject to Section 27(d)).

       

      (d)          Time of the Essence. 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.

       

      (e)          Rights Cumulative. All rights, remedies and powers of Administrative Agent and 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 and 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 shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable law.

       

      (f)          Counterparts. The Transaction Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but
        all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Any counterpart delivered by pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the
        purposes of the applicable Transaction Document.

       

      (g)          Headings. 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)         Interpretation. 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)           Integration. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the 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)           Binding Effect. 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.

       

      
        57

        
          

      

      (k)         Interpretation. 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)           Construction. 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”.

       

      (m)        Waiver of Damages. Administrative Agent, Seller and Buyer each agree that it shall not assert any claims against the other for special, indirect, consequential
        or punitive damages for the actual use or purported use of proceeds hereunder.

Any capitalized term utilized herein shall have the meaning as specified in the Repurchase Agreement (as defined below), unless such term is otherwise specifically defined herein.

WHEREAS, Guarantor directly or indirectly owns 100% of the membership interests in Seller, and Guarantor will derive benefits, directly and indirectly, from the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Repurchase Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions thereunder that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyer.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor does hereby agree as follows:
Article I 
 
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
1.1    Guaranty of Obligations.  Subject to the terms hereof, Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Buyer, and its permitted successors and assigns as a primary obligor the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined) as and when the same shall be due and payable.
1.2    Definition of Guaranteed Obligations.  As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means:
(a)    the prompt and complete payment of the Repurchase Obligations; provided, however, the aggregate sum of the Guaranteed Obligations paid by Guarantor under this Section 1.2(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to 25% of the then aggregate Repurchase Price under the Repurchase Agreement; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, if Administrative Agent asserts that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing then, upon payment by Guarantor to Administrative Agent of an amount equal to 25% of the then aggregate Repurchase Price accompanied by written confirmation from Guarantor and Seller agreeing that upon delivery of such payment to Administrative Agent, all Transactions shall be terminated and there shall thereafter be no further Transactions under the Repurchase Agreement, Guarantor shall have no further liability or obligation under this Section 1.2(a); 
(b)    any actual loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by Administrative Agent (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) resulting from any of the following: 
(1) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, the Repurchase Agreement, the Pledge and Security Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any certificate, report, financial statement or other instrument or document furnished to Administrative Agent at the time of the closing of the Repurchase Agreement or during the term of the Repurchase Agreement; 
(1) the misappropriation by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor of any funds related to the Purchased Assets and not applied in accordance with the Repurchase Agreement; 
(1) (1) the creation or incurrence of any lien by Seller, Pledgor, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller, Pledgor or Guarantor on (1) any Purchased Asset unless permitted under the Repurchase Agreement or (2) any “Collateral” (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) (the “Pledge Collateral”) unless permitted under the Pledge and Security Agreement, (1) any Change of Control prohibited by the Repurchase Agreement, (1) any transfer, assignment or sale of (1) any Purchased Asset in violation of the Repurchase Agreement or (2) any Pledge Collateral in violation of the Pledge and Security Agreement, (D) any Significant Modification to a Purchased Asset that is intentionally effectuated by Seller or its Affiliate in violation of the provisions of the Repurchase Agreement or (E) the material breach of any material separateness covenants contained in the Repurchase Agreement;
(1) during the continuance of an Event of Default, any distribution by Seller to its equityholders in violation of the Repurchase Agreement and, in the case of such a violation, only to the extent of such distribution; or
(1) any breach by Guarantor of Sections 4.4, 4.6 or 4.10 of this Guaranty; and
(c)    any and all Repurchase Obligations in the event that Seller makes a voluntary filing under the Bankruptcy Code or similar federal or state law, or Seller, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor joins or colludes in the filing of an involuntary filing against Seller under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar federal or state law.
For the avoidance of doubt, Guarantor shall not have any liability to Administrative Agent under this Guaranty other than for the Guaranteed Obligations.  
1.3    Nature of Guaranty.  This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.  This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor.  This Guaranty may be enforced by Administrative Agent and any subsequent assignee of Administrative Agent under the Repurchase Agreement and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part thereof.
1.4    Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset.  The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Seller, or any other party, against Administrative Agent or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
1.5    Payment by Guarantor.  If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid, whether on demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount then due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s address as set forth herein.  Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.  Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof.
1.6    No Duty to Pursue Others.  It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Administrative Agent) in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Seller or others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, (a) enforce or exhaust Administrative Agent’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Obligations (a) join Seller or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, or (a) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and Administrative Agent shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
1.7    Waivers.  Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Transaction Documents, and hereby waives notice of (1) any loans or advances made by Buyer to Seller or any purchases of Purchased Assets made by Buyer, from Seller, (1) acceptance of this Guaranty, (1) any amendment or extension of the Repurchase Agreement or of any other Transaction Documents, (1) the execution and delivery by Seller, Administrative Agent and Buyer of any other agreement or of Seller’s execution and delivery of any other documents arising under the Transaction Documents or in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, (1) the occurrence of any breach by Seller or an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents, (1) Administrative Agent’s or Buyer’s transfer or disposition of the Transaction Documents, or any part thereof, (1) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (1) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Seller, or (1) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Administrative Agent, and, generally, except to the extent required by the terms hereof, all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Transaction Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
1.8    Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent, pay Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder.  The covenant contained in this Section 1.8 shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
1.9    Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Administrative Agent must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Administrative Agent in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Administrative Agent shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Seller and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Seller’s or Guarantor’s payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not so rescinded or Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.
1.10    Deferral of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably defers until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Administrative Agent), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Seller or any other party liable for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty.
1.11    Setoff Rights.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to Guarantor, and any such notice being expressly waived by Guarantor 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 or any Affiliate of Administrative Agent to or for the credit of the account of Seller or  Guarantor to any obligations of Guarantor hereunder to Administrative Agent.  This Section 1.11 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, 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).
1.12    Seller.  The term “Seller” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, limited liability company, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Seller or any interest in Seller.

4.10    [Reserved].
ARTICLE V     
 
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
5.1    Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Seller to Guarantor arising as the consequence of this Guaranty or the payment or other performance by Guarantor hereunder, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Seller thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against Seller (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Seller or any other party any amount for the Guarantor Claims until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
5.2    Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Seller as debtor, Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove its claims in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable for the Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Administrative Agent.  Should Administrative Agent receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Seller and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit for the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Administrative Agent in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Administrative Agent to the extent that such payments to Administrative Agent on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Administrative Agent had not received dividends or payments for the Guarantor Claims.
5.3    Payments Held in Trust.  In the event that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees to promptly pay such amounts to Administrative Agent.
5.4    Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Seller’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Seller’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Guarantor shall not (1) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Seller, or (1) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgage, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Seller securing payment of the Guarantor Claims held by Guarantor.
ARTICLE VI     
 
MISCELLANEOUS
6.1    Waiver.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Administrative Agent, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The rights of Administrative Agent hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand (except to the extent such a notice or demand is required by the terms hereof).
6.2    Notices.  Unless otherwise provided in this Guaranty, all notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (1) hand delivery, with proof of delivery, (1) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (1) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of delivery, (1) by telecopier (with answerback acknowledged); provided that such telecopied notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth above, or (1) by e-mail with confirmation of delivery, addressed as follows (or at such other address and person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 6.2):

6.4    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.  EACH OF GUARANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY: (1) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF; (1) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME; (1) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND/OR GUARANTOR SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND (1) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
6.5    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF GUARANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  SUCH WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  ANY PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.5 IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF SUCH WAIVER.
6.6    Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.
6.7    Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Administrative Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for Seller or any substantial part of the property of Seller, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
6.8    Amendments.  This Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by Guarantor and Administrative Agent.
6.9    Parties Bound; Assignment.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives; provided, however, that Guarantor may not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, assign any of Guarantor’s rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.
6.10    Headings.  Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Guaranty.
6.11    Recitals.  The recital and introductory paragraphs hereof are a part hereof, form a basis for this Guaranty and shall be considered prima facie evidence of the facts and documents referred to therein.
6.12    Counterparts.  This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Any counterpart delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Guaranty.
6.13    Rights and Remedies.  If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Seller to Administrative Agent, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby and the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Administrative Agent may ever have against Guarantor.  The exercise by Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
6.14    Entirety.  This Guaranty embodies the final, entire agreement of Guarantor and Administrative Agent with respect to Guarantor’s guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations and supersedes any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.  This Guaranty is intended by Guarantor and Administrative Agent as a final and complete expression of the terms of this Guaranty, and no course of dealing between Guarantor and Administrative Agent, no course of performance, no trade practices, and no evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements or discussions or other extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to contradict, vary, supplement or modify any term of this Guaranty.  There are no oral agreements between Guarantor and Administrative Agent relating to the subject matter hereof.
6.15    Joint and Several.  If Guarantor consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person under this Guaranty shall be joint and several; provided that, except to the extent caused by fraud or willful misconduct, in no event shall any direct or indirect partner, member, shareholder or other owner of Guarantor be liable under this Guaranty and Administrative Agent’s sole recourse shall be the assets of Guarantor.
6.16    Intent.  Guarantor (a) acknowledges that each of the Repurchase Agreement and each Transaction thereunder constitutes a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) intends and acknowledges that this Guaranty is “a security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” and provided “in connection with” the Repurchase Agreement and each Transaction thereunder and is within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and is, therefore, (i) a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (c) intends and acknowledges that that Buyer’s rights under Section 1.1 constitute (i) contractual rights (as defined in Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code) under a security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement forming a part of or related to a securities contract and master netting agreement and/or (ii) contractual rights (as defined in Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code) to offset or net out any termination value, payment amount, or other transfer obligation arising under or in connection with one or more securities contracts and master netting agreements, as described in Sections 362(b)(6), (27) and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, (d) any payment or transfer of property made with respect to this Guaranty is a “margin payment,” “settlement payment” or “transfer in connection with a securities contract” as such terms are used in Bankruptcy Code Section 546(e), and (e) damages hereunder shall be measured in accordance with Section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Guarantor agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under applicable law its right to challenge, either (i) the characterization of this Guaranty, the Repurchase Agreement or any Transaction thereunder as either a “securities contract” or “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, or (ii) whether any payment or transfer described in clause (d) is a “margin payment,” “settlement payment” or “transfer in connection with a securities contract” as such terms are used in Bankruptcy Code Section 546(e) and defined, as applicable, in Bankruptcy Code Sections 741(5) and 741(8).
