Governmental Authority recharacterizes any Transaction with respect to a Purchased Asset as other than a sale, and as security for the performance by Seller of the Repurchase Obligations and the performance by the respective sellers under each Other
Repurchase Agreement of the respective Other Facility Repurchase Obligations, (i) Seller hereby grants to Buyer a present Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under (A) the Purchased
Assets (which for this purpose shall be deemed to include the items described in the proviso in the definition thereof), and (B) each Interest Rate Protection Agreement with each Hedge Counterparty relating to each Purchased Asset ((A) and
(B) collectively, the “Collateral”) and (ii) Seller hereby grants to each Other Facility Buyer a present Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral; and the

security for the Other Facility Repurchase Obligations owing to such Other Facility Buyer shall at all times be junior and subordinate in all respects to Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral as security for the Repurchase Obligations.

Facility Repurchase Obligations in right of payment to the Repurchase Obligations.

Other Facility Buyer (including without limitation for purposes of Sections 9-313(c), 8- 106(d)(3), 9-104(a) and 9-106(a) of the

Files held by Custodian pursuant to the Custodial Agreement. 
 (k) Section 11.02 of the Repurchase
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Seller or between any Affiliated Hedge Counterparty and Seller, (c) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and each Other Facility Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Assets
against all of the Repurchase Obligations or Other Facility Repurchase Obligations, as applicable, without prejudice to Buyer’s or any Other Facility Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency, (d) the possession by Buyer or any of its
agents, including Custodian, of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Purchased Assets and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents, securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to be possession by the secured
party for purposes of perfecting such security interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law, and (e) notifications to Persons (other than Buyer) holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons (other than
Buyer) holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under the UCC and Requirements of Law. The security interests of Buyer granted herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and all other Affiliated Hedge Counterparties that it is, a first priority perfected security
interest. The security interests of the Other Facility Buyers granted herein shall be, and Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and all other Affiliated Hedge Counterparties that it is, a perfected security interest subordinate in priority
only to the security interests of Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each Purchased Asset and each Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset secures the Repurchase Obligations of Seller with respect to all other
Transactions and all other Purchased Assets, including any Purchased Assets that are junior in priority to the Purchased Asset in question, and the Other Facility Repurchase Obligations, and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no Purchased Asset or Interest Rate Protection Agreement relating to a Purchased Asset will be released from Buyer’s or any Other Facility Buyer’s Lien or transferred to Seller until the Repurchase Obligations and all Other
Facility Repurchase Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repurchase Obligations and all Other Facility Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller.
