Upon making any payment hereunder, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Buyer against Seller and Parent and in any collateral for any Obligations with respect to such payment; provided, that Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any
right or receive any payment by way of subrogation, or seek any contribution or reimbursement from Seller, until all amounts then owing by Seller or Parent to Buyer or any of its Affiliates under the Governing Agreements have been paid in full;
provided, further, that such subrogation 

  
 5 

 
rights shall be subordinate in all respects to all amounts owing to Buyer under the Governing Agreements. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any
time when all of the Repurchase Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by Guarantor in trust for Buyer, segregated from other funds of Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by Guarantor, be turned over to
Buyer in the exact form received by Guarantor (duly indorsed by Guarantor to Buyer, if required), to be applied against the Repurchase Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Buyer may determine. 

4. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Buyer may be rescinded by Buyer and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the
liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Buyer, and any Governing Agreement and any other document in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as Buyer may deem advisable from time to
time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Buyer for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Buyer shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or
insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand
on Seller, Parent or any other Person, and any failure by Buyer to make any such demand or to collect any payments from Seller, Parent or any such other Person or any release of Seller, Parent or such other Person shall not relieve Guarantor of its
Obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and
continuance of any legal proceedings. 
 5. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Guarantor hereby agrees that its
obligations under this Guarantee constitute a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection. Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by
Buyer upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between Seller, Parent and
Guarantor, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Seller, Parent or this Guarantee with respect to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity,
regularity or enforceability of any Governing Agreement, any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Buyer, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by Seller or Parent against Buyer, (iii) any requirement

  
 6 

 
that Buyer exhaust any right to take any action against Seller, Parent or any other Person prior to or contemporaneously with proceeding to exercise any right against Guarantor under this
Guarantee or (iv) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to, or knowledge of, Seller, Parent and Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Seller and/or Parent for
the Obligations or of Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Buyer may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that
Buyer may have against Seller, Parent or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Buyer to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect
any payments from Seller, Parent or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Seller, Parent or any such other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Buyer against Guarantor. This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, and its permitted successors, endorsees,
transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guarantee shall have been satisfied by payment in full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Governing Agreements, Seller or
Parent may be free from any Obligations. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby agrees, acknowledges, and
represents and warrants to Buyer as follows: 
 (i) Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to
assert against Buyer any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by Buyer that in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys and/or extinguishes Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Seller, Parent
or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of Guarantor to proceed against Seller, Parent, any other guarantor or any other person or security. 

(ii) Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Seller and Parent and of all other circumstances that diligent inquiry
would reveal and that bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will continue to keep itself informed about the financial condition of Seller and Parent and of all
other circumstances that bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than Buyer for such information and will not rely upon Buyer for any such information. Guarantor hereby waives the right, if any, to
require Buyer to disclose to Guarantor any information that Buyer may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances. 

(iii) Guarantor has independently reviewed the Governing Agreements and related agreements and has made an independent determination as to the
validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Guarantee to Buyer, Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or perfection of any liens or security interests of
any kind or nature granted by Seller or Parent to Buyer, now or at any time and from time to time in the future.

 6. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Seller or Parent
or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for Seller or Parent or any substantial part of the property of Seller or Parent, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not
been made.

set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars at the address specified in writing by Buyer.

	 	(ii)	 the Principal Balance; 

 

	 	(iii)	 the Purchase Date Market Value; 

 

	 	(iv)	 the Purchase Date Market Value Percentage; 

 

	 	(v)	 the Actual Original Purchase Percentage;

	 	(xii)	 the total future funding obligations of Seller under the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents; and

  

	 	(xiii)	 any additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement. 

With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially on the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate
Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the next succeeding Pricing Rate Periods for such Transaction. Buyer or its agent shall, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, determine the
Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on such Pricing Rate Determination Date. 

  
 32 

 (c) Each Confirmation that has been agreed to and executed by Buyer and Seller, together
with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transactions covered thereby. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and the terms of this Agreement, the Confirmation shall prevail. 

(d) Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Master Seller, on behalf of the applicable Series Seller,
shall be entitled to terminate any Transaction on demand, in whole or in part, and repurchase any or all of the Purchased Loans subject to such Transaction (each an “Early Repurchase”) on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase
Date therefor (an “Early Repurchase Date”); provided, however, that: 
  

	 	(i)	 Seller notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to terminate such Transaction and repurchase such Purchased
Loan(s) no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such Early Repurchase Date; provided that no such notice shall be required if such Early Repurchase would cure in full a Margin Deficit for which a Margin Notice has been sent or an
existing Default or Event of Default; 

  

	 	(ii)	 on such Early Repurchase Date, the applicable Series Seller (or Master Seller on behalf of such Series Seller)
pays to Buyer an amount equal to the sum of the Repurchase Price for such Transaction, and any other amounts payable under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any amounts payable under
Section 3(h) hereof and any Exit Fees payable pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Letter Agreement) with respect to such Transaction against transfer to the applicable Series Seller or its agent of such Purchased Loan(s);
and 

  

	 	(iii)	 no Margin Deficit for which a Margin Notice has been sent, Default or Event of Default exists which is not
cured by or simultaneously with such repurchase or would exist as a result of such repurchase. 

 (e) On the applicable
Repurchase Date for any Transaction, termination of such Transaction will be effected by transfer to the applicable Series Seller or its designee in writing of the applicable Purchased Loan(s) and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and
not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Master Seller, such Series Seller or any other Series Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof), against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase
Price for such Transaction to an account of Buyer. 
 (f) (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 3(f), all Transactions shall be LIBOR Transactions and bear interest at the LIBO Rate. If prior to the first day of any Pricing Rate Period with respect to any LIBOR Transaction, Buyer shall have determined in its
sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that one or more LIBOR Unavailability Conditions exists (or is reasonably expected by Buyer to occur) and such Transaction has not
previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction in accordance with Section 3(f)(ii), Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail,
followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. Subject to Section 3(f)(ii) hereof, if such 

  
 33 

 
notice is given, such Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to a Prime Rate Transaction bearing interest at the Prime Rate.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to convert a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction. 

 

	 	(ii)	 If, prior to a Transaction being converted from a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction, Buyer
determines in its sole but good faith discretion that LIBOR has been succeeded by an Alternate Index and such Alternate Index can be determined, then Buyer shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith
discretion, to convert such Transaction from a LIBOR Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and such Transaction is to be converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction as provided above,
Buyer shall provide written notice of the conversion of such Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. If such notice is given, such
Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to an Alternate Rate Transaction bearing interest at the Alternate Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event
shall Seller have the right to convert a LIBOR Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction. 

  

	 	(iii)	 If, pursuant to Section 3(f)(i) hereof, a Transaction has been converted to Prime
Rate Transaction and Buyer shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable and LIBOR can be
determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next
succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, such Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to a LIBOR Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to convert a Prime Rate Transaction to a LIBOR Transaction or a LIBOR Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction. 

 

	 	(iv)	 If, pursuant to the terms of Section 3(f)(ii) hereof, a Transaction has been
converted to an Alternate Rate Transaction but thereafter Buyer shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that the Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any
Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for Buyer to maintain an Alternate Rate Transaction as contemplated hereunder, or the Alternate Rate would be in excess of the

  
 34 

	 	
maximum interest rate that Seller may by law pay, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by
written notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. If such notice is given, such Alternate Rate Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next Pricing Rate Period, to a Prime Rate Transaction. If, pursuant
to the terms of this Section 3(f)(iv), such Transaction has been converted to a Prime Rate Transaction and Buyer shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller absent manifest error) that
the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written
notice) prior to the next succeeding Pricing Rate Determination Date. If such notice is given, such Transaction shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, to an Alternate Rate Transaction. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Transaction to a Prime Rate Transaction or a Prime Rate Transaction to an Alternate Rate Transaction. 

 

	 	(v)	 If the adoption of any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Buyer to maintain a LIBOR Transaction as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Buyer hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Transaction or to convert any Prime Rate Transaction to a LIBOR
Transaction shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Transaction shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Transaction on the first day of the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period, or upon such earlier date as may be
required by law. 

  

	 	(vi)	 Seller hereby agrees to promptly pay to Buyer, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
Buyer for any costs incurred by Buyer in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Buyer in order to make or maintain any LIBOR Transaction (or Alternate Rate Transaction)
hereunder. Buyer’s notice of such costs, as certified to Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  

	 	(vii)	 In making any determination pursuant to this Section 3(f), Buyer shall treat Seller
in the same manner as Buyer treats its other similarly situated customers in similar lending or repurchase facilities; provided that, without limiting Buyer’s aforementioned covenant in this clause (vii) with respect to
treatment of Seller, in no event shall Buyer be required to disclose information concerning any of Buyer’s other customers, including but not limited to disclosing the terms of any transaction documentation with such customers.

  
 35 

 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Buyer shall give notice (which notice may be given by email,
followed promptly by written notice, provided that Buyer’s failure to give any such written notice shall in no way diminish any of Buyer’s rights under this Section 3(g)) thereof to Seller as soon as practicable
thereafter, and (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be canceled, and (b) if such adoption or change makes it unlawful to maintain Transactions with a
Pricing Rate based on the LIBOR Rate, or, if applicable, the Alternate Rate, the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Transactions on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period or within such earlier
period as may be required by law; provided, however, that in making any determination pursuant to this Section 3(g), Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner as Buyer treats its other similarly situated
customers in similar lending or repurchase facilities; provided further that, without limiting Buyer’s aforementioned covenant in the first proviso to this clause (g) with respect to treatment of Seller, in no event
shall Buyer be required to disclose information concerning any of Buyer’s other customers, including but not limited to disclosing the terms of any transaction documentation with such customers. If any such conversion of a Transaction occurs on
a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof. 

(h) Upon written demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any out of pocket loss or expense (not to include
any lost profit or opportunity) (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any Transaction after Seller has given
a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) hereof of a termination of a Transaction, (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price for any Purchased Loan on any day other than a Remittance Date or the applicable Repurchase
Date for such Purchased Loan (including, without limitation, any out-of-pocket loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Buyer to maintain
Transactions hereunder or from customary and reasonable fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) or (iii) conversion of the Transaction to either a Prime Rate Transaction or an Alternate Rate Transaction
pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof on a day which is not the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period. A certificate as to such actual costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations therefor shall
be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive evidence of the information set forth therein. 
 (i) If the adoption of or
any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof: 
  

	 	(i)	 shall subject Buyer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any Purchased
Loan or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (in 

  
 36 

	 	
each case except for (A) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) in the definition of Excluded Taxes, (B) Connection Income Taxes, and (C) Indemnified Taxes);

  

	 	(ii)	 shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer which is not otherwise included in the determination of the
LIBO Rate hereunder; or 

  

	 	(iii)	 shall impose on Buyer any other condition; 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount which Buyer deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercised in
good faith, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable (in the case of Taxes, in an amount such that, after deduction of the applicable Tax, Buyer receives the amount to which it would have been
entitled if no Tax were deductible); provided, however, in making any determination pursuant to this Section 3(i), Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner as Buyer treats its other similarly situated customers in similar
lending or repurchase facilities; provided further that, without limiting Buyer’s aforementioned covenant in the first proviso to this paragraph with respect to treatment of Seller, in no event shall Buyer be required to disclose
information concerning any of Buyer’s other customers, including but not limited to disclosing the terms of any transaction documentation with such customers. If Buyer becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 3(i), it shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided further that failure to give any such notification should
in no way diminish any of Buyer’s rights under this Section 3(i). Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be
conclusive evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans. 

(j) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any Person controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof does or shall have the effect of increasing the amount of capital to be held by Buyer in respect of any Transaction hereunder or reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of
its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such
reduction; 

  
 37 

 
provided, however, in making any determination pursuant to this Section 3(j), Buyer shall treat Seller in the same manner as Buyer treats its other
similarly situated customers in similar lending or repurchase facilities; provided further that, without limiting Buyer’s aforementioned covenant in the first proviso to this clause (j) with respect to treatment of
Seller, in no event shall Buyer be required to disclose information concerning any of Buyer’s other customers, including but not limited to disclosing the terms of any transaction documentation with such customers. Such notification as to the
calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans. 
 (k) Master Seller, on behalf of any Series Seller, shall have the right at any
time, upon one (1) Business Day prior notice to Buyer, to transfer cash to Buyer for the purpose of reducing the Repurchase Price of, but not terminating, the Transaction to which such Series Seller is a party. 

(l) Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Early Repurchase Event with respect to any Purchased Loan, Buyer may, upon written notice to the
applicable Series Seller, accelerate the Repurchase Date of such Purchased Loan to the date (the “Mandatory Early Repurchase Date”) which is three (3) Business Days following such notice, and require that the applicable Series
Seller repurchase such Purchased Loan from Buyer on such Mandatory Early Repurchase Date (a “Mandatory Early Repurchase”), which repurchase by the applicable Series Seller shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 3(d) hereof. 
 (m) [Reserved]. 

(n) On or before the Purchase Date for any Transaction, Member shall establish, pursuant to the provisions of the Master Seller LLC Agreement
and in accordance with Delaware law, a new Series Seller to enter into such Transaction pursuant to the related Confirmation, and deliver copies of the completed Schedule III to the Master Seller LLC Agreement with respect to such Series Seller and
same shall be reasonably acceptable to Buyer. On or prior to the Purchase Date for any Transaction, Master Seller and such new Series Seller shall execute and deliver to Buyer a joinder agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit
X (a “Joinder Agreement”) pursuant to which such Series Seller shall be added as a party hereto and to the other Transaction Documents and any other documents and agreements as Buyer may reasonably require with respect to such
Series Seller or in connection with such Transaction. If required by Buyer in its sole discretion, Master Seller hereby authorizes Buyer, on behalf of itself and such Series Seller, to file UCC financing statements in all applicable filing offices
with respect to such new Series Seller, which UCC financing statements shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer and may describe the collateral as “All assets of such new Series Seller, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or words to that effect. 
 (o) [Reserved].

 (p) With respect to any Transaction involving a Purchased Loan with future advances, in the event a future advance is made or is to be
made by Seller pursuant to the 

  
 38 

 
Purchased Loan Documents, Senior Interest Documents, Junior Interest Documents or Mezzanine Loan Documents for such Purchased Loan, Seller may submit to Buyer a request (a “Future Funding
Transaction Request”) that Buyer transfer cash to Seller in an aggregate amount, together with all previous future advances not to exceed the product of (x) the Maximum Original Purchase Percentage multiplied by (y) the
aggregate amount of such future advances (such aggregate amount so funded by Buyer hereunder, the “Future Funding Amount” and any Transaction where any such Future Funding Amount is paid, a “Future Funding
Transaction”). Other than with respect to Future Funding Amounts relating to Purchased Loans approved by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion as Future Funding Purchased Loans as of the related Purchase Dates as set forth in the
Confirmation therefor or otherwise approved in writing for the applicable Purchased Loan and the applicable Future Funding Transaction (“Approved Future Funding Amounts”), Buyer shall have no obligation to fund Future Funding
Amounts. With respect to Approved Future Funding Amounts, Buyer shall transfer cash in the applicable portion of the Future Funding Amount, which funds shall increase the outstanding Purchase Price for the related Future Funding Purchased Loan, on
the date requested by Seller in the related Future Funding Transaction Request (each a “Future Funding Date”) and in accordance with the wire instructions provided by Seller therein subject to satisfaction (or, in Buyer’s sole
discretion, waiver in writing) of the following conditions precedent: 
 (i) the related Future Funding Transaction Request
shall have been delivered no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Future Funding Date; 
 (ii) Seller
shall have demonstrated to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction that all related conditions precedent to the related future funding advance under the related Purchased Loan Documents have been satisfied; 

(iii) no Margin Deficit for which a Margin Notice has been sent, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under this Agreement (unless same shall be cured in connection with the funding of such Future Funding Amount); and 
 (iv)
previously or simultaneously with Buyer’s funding of the requested portion of the Future Funding Amount, Seller shall have funded or caused to be funded to Mortgagor (or to an escrow agent or as required under the Purchased Loan Documents or as
otherwise directed by Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the Purchased Loan Documents) all of, or Seller’s pro rata portion of (taking into account the amount of Buyer’s related portion of the Future Funding Amount), such Future
Funding Purchased Loan, as applicable. 
 (q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not be required to
purchase any Eligible Loan proposed by Seller for sale under this Agreement if, after giving effect to such Transaction, the aggregate Repurchase Price (other than Price Differential) for all Transactions then outstanding would exceed the Facility
Amount. 
 (r) All amounts payable by Seller under the Transaction Documents shall be paid without notice, demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever) and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction (as to any Person and for any reason whatsoever), and the
Repurchase Obligations shall not be 

  
 39 

 
released, discharged or otherwise affected, except as expressly provided herein, by reason of: (i) any Act of Insolvency relating to Seller, any Mortgagor or any other loan participant under
a Related Interest, or any action taken with respect to any Transaction Document or Purchased Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Seller, any Mortgagor or any other loan participant under a Related Interest, or by any court in any such
proceeding, (ii) any claim that Seller has or might have against Buyer under any Transaction Document or otherwise, (iii) any default or failure on the part of Buyer to perform or comply with any Transaction Document or other agreement
with Seller, (iv) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Purchased Loan, Transaction Document or Purchased Loan Document, or (v) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, and whether or not Seller
has notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. The Repurchase Obligations shall be full recourse to Seller and recourse to Guarantor as and to the extent set forth in the Guaranty. This Section 3(r) shall survive the
termination of the Transaction Documents and the payment in full of the Repurchase Obligations. 
 4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE 

(a) Buyer shall determine the Repurchase Price Cap of each Purchased Loan on each Business Day and shall determine the amount, if any, by which
the Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential) of the related Purchased Loan exceeds the Repurchase Price Cap for such Purchased Loan (a “Margin Deficit”). If at any time a Margin Deficit exists with respect to one or more
Purchased Loans in an amount greater than the Margin Call Threshold, and a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Purchased Loan, then Buyer may, by notice (which notice shall include a copy sent by electronic mail in
accordance with Section 16 hereof) (a “Margin Notice”) to Master Seller on behalf to the applicable Series Seller(s), require the applicable Series Seller(s), or the Master Seller on behalf of the
applicable Series Seller(s), to transfer to Buyer cash in the amount of the Margin Deficit for such Purchased Loan by no later than 2 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date of receipt of
such Margin Notice. 
 (b) At the request of Seller, which may be delivered to Buyer at any time after a Margin Notice has been delivered to
Seller by Buyer as set forth in Section 4(a) above, but only if the related Margin Deficit had previously been paid in full and the related Credit Event is no longer continuing, Buyer shall re-determine,
in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith, the Repurchase Price Cap of the related Purchased Loan and, if the Repurchase Price Cap as so determined by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith (which
determination may include Buyer obtaining credit approval with respect to such re-determination) exceeds the then-current Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan (excluding Price Differential) (any such
excess, “Margin Excess”), Buyer shall transfer to Master Seller on behalf of the applicable Series Seller cash in an amount up to the Margin Excess by no later than the date that is three (3) Business Days following
Buyer’s receipt of such notice from Master Seller; provided, however, that (1) any such transfer of cash shall not cause the Repurchase Price for the applicable Purchased Loan to exceed the Repurchase Price Cap for such
Transaction, and (2) no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (c) The failure of,
or delay by, Buyer or Seller on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) hereof, respectively, shall not (i) change or alter the terms and
conditions to which this Agreement is subject, (ii) limit the right of Buyer or Seller to do so at a later date, (iii) limit Buyer’s or Seller’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law, or (iv) in any way
create additional rights for Buyer or Seller. 

  
 40 

 (d) If either Master Seller and/or any applicable Series Sellers transfers cash to Buyer on
account of Margin Deficits relating to more than one Purchased Loan, but such cash is insufficient to fully satisfy all Margin Deficits then currently outstanding for which Margin Notices have been sent (after giving effect to any netting pursuant
to Section 4(e) hereof), Buyer shall have the right to designate the Purchased Loan(s) and amounts of such Margin Deficit(s) to which such payments shall be applied, which application shall be made in Buyer’s sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall be implemented so as to minimize the number of related Margin Deficit(s). 

(e) Buyer and Master Seller acknowledge and agree that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then
notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, Margin Excess and Margin Deficit shall be netted for all the Transactions under this Agreement, and the aggregate amount of the Margin Excess (if any) for all
Transactions shall be credited against the aggregate Margin Deficit owed under Section 4(a) hereof and only the net amount need be paid; provided, that any net payment to Master Seller shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4(b) hereof. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything contained in
Section 16 hereof to the contrary, notice of a Margin Deficit may be delivered by Buyer via email, without the need to also deliver such notice by one of the other means set forth in Section 16
hereof, and shall be deemed received upon the sending of such email. 
 5. INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS 

(a) On each Remittance Date, each Series Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer (to the extent not paid on such date through the
distributions required pursuant to Sections 5(c), (d) and (e) hereof) the accrued but unpaid Price Differential for its applicable Transaction(s) due as of such Remittance Date (along with any other amounts then due and
payable), by wire transfer in immediately available funds. A Cash Management Account shall be established by Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, at Depository. Buyer shall have sole dominion and control over the Cash
Management Account at all times until this Agreement is terminated and Seller has satisfied all of the Repurchase Obligations. All Available Income in respect of the Purchased Loans shall be deposited by Master Seller and each Series Seller or the
applicable Servicer (i) directly into the Cash Management Account without any further action of Buyer or (ii) directly into the Applicable Servicer Account for further remittance by the applicable Servicer to the Cash Management Account,
subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the related Servicer Notice and Agreement. All such amounts transferred into the Cash Management Account shall be remitted by Depository in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections
5(b), 5(c), 5(d), 5(e), 13(b)(iii) and 13(c)(iii) hereof. 
 (b) Seller shall cause the Servicer of
each Purchased Loan to enter into a Servicer Notice and Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit IX to this Agreement, which provides, inter alia, that the Servicer shall deposit all Available Income with respect to such Purchased
Loan into the Applicable Servicer Account for further remittance by the applicable Servicer into 

  
 41 

 
the Cash Management Account, all in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the related Servicer Notice and Agreement. If a Servicer forwards any Available Income with respect to
a Purchased Loan to Master Seller, any Series Seller or any other Person, rather than directly to the Cash Management Account or directly into the Applicable Servicer Account for further remittance by the applicable Servicer to the Cash Management
Account, subject in all cases to the terms and conditions of the related Servicer Notice and Agreement, Master Seller shall (i) redeliver an executed copy of the Servicer Notice and Agreement to the applicable Servicer, and make other
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Servicer to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of Buyer and (ii) immediately deposit in the Cash Management Account
any such amounts. If a Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Loan or borrower forwards any Income or other amounts with respect to a Purchased Loan to such Series Seller, any Affiliate of such
Series Seller or any other Person rather than directly into the Applicable Servicer Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of Section 5(a) hereof, such Series Seller shall, or shall
cause such Affiliate to, (i) to the extent required under Section 7(c), deliver a separate Re-direction Letter to the applicable Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest,
servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the Purchased Loan, and make other commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Mortgagor, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer, paying agent or similar Person with respect to the
Purchased Loan or borrower to forward such amounts directly to the Cash Management Account and (ii) deposit in the Applicable Servicer Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable pursuant to the requirements of
Section 5(a) hereof, any such amounts within one (1) Business Day of such Series Seller’s (or its Affiliate’s) receipt thereof. 

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Available Income received by Depository in respect of the
Purchased Loans (other than Principal Payments and net sale proceeds) during each Collection Period shall be applied by Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority: 

 

	 	(i)	 first, to remit to (a) Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and
expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) Depository an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement; 

 

	 	(ii)	 second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which has accrued and is
outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Remittance Date; 

  

	 	(iii)	 third, to make a payment to Buyer on account of any outstanding and unpaid Margin Deficit required to be
paid pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; 

  

	 	(iv)	 fourth, to remit to Buyer on account of any other unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and
any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to any amounts that remain unpaid after application of Principal Payments as provided in
Section 5(d) hereof; and 

  
 42 

	 	(v)	 fifth, to remit to Master Seller, on behalf of all applicable Series Sellers, the remainder, if any;
provided that, if any Default has occurred and is continuing on such date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Master Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Cash Management Account until the earlier of
(x) the day on which Buyer provides written notice to the Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the
Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to this priority fifth; and (y) the day that the related Default becomes an Event of Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to
Section 5(e). 

 (d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(A) any unscheduled Principal Payments and any scheduled principal payments at maturity in respect of the Purchased Loans received by Depository during each Collection Period shall be applied by Depository within two (2) Business Days
following the later to occur of (x) the day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account and (y) Seller’s delivery to Buyer of written notice of such Principal Payment, which notice shall include the date of such
Principal Payment, and (B) any scheduled Principal Payment (other than at maturity) in respect of the Purchased Loans shall be applied by Depository on the related Remittance Date in the following order of priority: 

 

	 	(i)	 first, to remit to (a) Custodian an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and
expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) Depository an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement (in each case, to the extent not paid pursuant to
Section 5(c)(i) hereof); 

  

	 	(ii)	 second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which has accrued and is
outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Remittance Date (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) hereof); 

 

	 	(iii)	 third, to make a payment to Buyer on account of any outstanding and unpaid Margin Deficit and required
to be paid pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(iii) hereof); 

  

	 	(iv)	 fourth, to remit to Buyer on account of any other unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and
any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv) hereof); 

  
 43 

	 	(v)	 fifth, to make a payment to Buyer on account of the Repurchase Price of each of the Purchased Loans in
respect of which such Principal Payment(s) have been received, in an amount equal to such Principal Payment(s) multiplied by the respective Allocable Percentages applicable thereto; and 

 

	 	(vi)	 sixth, to remit to Master Seller the remainder, if any; provided that, if any Default has
occurred and is continuing on such date that has not become an Event of Default, all amounts otherwise payable to Master Seller hereunder shall be retained in the Cash Management Account until the earlier of (x) the day on which Buyer provides
written notice to the Depository that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole discretion and no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts
pursuant to this priority sixth; and (y) the day that the related Default becomes an Event of Default, at which time the Depository shall apply all such amounts pursuant to Section 5(e). 

(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Available Income (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Principal
Payments) received by Buyer or Depository in respect of the Purchased Loans during each Collection Period shall be applied by Buyer or Depository on the Business Day following the day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account
as follows: 
  

	 	(i)	 first, to remit to (a) Custodian in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid custodial fees and
expenses due and payable under the Custodial Agreement, and (b) Depository in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid fees and expenses due and payable under the Controlled Account Agreement; 

 

	 	(ii)	 second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate Price Differential which has accrued and is
outstanding in respect of all of the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day; 

  

	 	(iii)	 third, to make a payment to Buyer in an amount equal to (a) the Repurchase Price of each of the
Purchased Loans if a Facility Event of Default exists (which amount may be allocated by Buyer to one or more of the Purchased Loans in such amounts as Buyer may determine in its sole and absolute discretion), or (b) the Repurchase Price of each
of the Purchased Loans with respect to which a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (but no Facility Event of Default then exists), in each case until the Repurchase Price for each of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to
zero; provided, however, that any amounts under this Section 5(e)(iii) representing Principal Payments received by Buyer or Depository shall be allocated (x) first, to the Repurchase Price of the
applicable Purchased Loan in respect of which such Principal Payment has been received, until the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan has 

  
 44 

	 	
been reduced to zero, and (y) second, any remaining portion of such Principal Payment shall be allocated to the other Purchased Loans as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion;

  

	 	(iv)	 fourth, to remit to Buyer on account of any other unpaid fees, costs, expenses, indemnity amounts and
any and all other amounts due and payable from Seller under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, until the Repurchase Obligations are paid in full; and 

 

	 	(v)	 fifth, to remit to Master Seller, on behalf of all applicable Series Sellers, the remainder, if any.

 (f) Notwithstanding that each Series Seller shall be responsible for its own Available Income, the distribution and
allocation of Available Income in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 may, for administrative convenience, be accomplished on an aggregate basis for all Series Sellers. In the event that the amounts
remitted pursuant to Sections 5(c), (d) and (e) above on any Remittance Date are insufficient to pay the accrued Price Differential due with respect to each of the Transactions at the respective Pricing Rates as of such
Remittance Date, then Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which Series Seller(s) had insufficient Available Income to pay all accrued and unpaid Price Differential at the applicable Pricing Rate as of such Remittance Date and
any applicable Margin Deficit payments related to the Transaction(s) to which such Series Seller(s) is a party (together with each such Series Seller’s share of the custodial fees and any other joint expenses allocated ratably according to the
Available Income received by each of the Series Sellers) and deliver notice (which may be delivered via email) to Master Seller, on behalf of each of the Series Sellers, on (or as soon as possible after) the Remittance Date of the portion of such
Cash Flow Deficiency payable by the respective Series Sellers. Each applicable Series Seller shall be required to pay the portion of the Cash Flow Deficiency allocable to such Series Seller (as set forth in such notice from Buyer) to Buyer by
wire transfer in immediately available funds within one (1) Business Day after the earlier to occur of the receipt of such notice or such Remittance Date. If any Series Seller shall fail to pay the portion of the Cash Flow Deficiency due from
such Series Seller within one (1) Business Day after such Remittance Date, such failure shall constitute a Transaction Event of Default with respect to the Transaction(s) to which each such Series Seller is a party. 

(g) All Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves for any Purchased Loan must be held with the applicable Servicer in accordance with
Section 28 hereof in segregated accounts held for the benefit of Seller or otherwise subject to control agreements approved by Buyer. If no Servicer holds any such Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves for a Purchased Loan and
Seller would otherwise hold the Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves directly, it shall forward such Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves to the Cash Management Account to be held and applied by Depository in accordance with the Purchased Loan
Documents. 
 6. SECURITY INTEREST 

Buyer and Seller intend, for all purposes other than those described in Section 22(e) hereof, that all Transactions
hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans 

  
 45 

 
from Buyer to Seller secured by the Purchased Loans. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan, and as security for the performance by Seller of all of Seller’s
obligations to Buyer under the Transaction Documents and the Transactions entered into hereunder, or in the event that a transfer of a Purchased Loan is otherwise ineffective to effect an outright transfer of such Purchased Loan to Buyer, each
Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under and grants a lien on, and security interest in (which lien and security interest shall be of first priority), all of its right, title, and interest in the following
property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”) to Buyer to secure the payment and performance of all other amounts or obligations owing to
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (the “Repurchase Obligations”) (it being understood that the grant of security interest in any items described below which are otherwise sold to Buyer pursuant to
any Transaction hereunder is made to secure Buyer’s interest therein in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be a loan): 
 (a)
the Purchased Loans; 
 (b) the related Servicing Rights; 

(c) all related Purchased Loan Documents, Servicing Agreements and Servicing Records; 

(d) all insurance policies related to the Purchased Loans and payments and proceeds thereof; 

(e) all related Income; 
 (f)
the Cash Management Account and all monies from time to time on deposit therein and all collection and escrow accounts relating to the Purchased Loans; 

(g) all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “deposit accounts”, “securities
accounts”, “instruments”, “securities”, “financial assets”, “uncertificated securities”, “security entitlements” and “investment property” (as each such term is defined in the UCC)
relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing; and 
 (h) all replacements, substitutions or distributions on or proceeds,
payments, Income and profits of, and records (but excluding any financial models or other proprietary information) and files relating to any and all of any of the foregoing. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Buyer as further security for Seller’s
obligations to Buyer hereunder, a continuing first priority security interest in and Lien upon all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Related Mezzanine Loan, if any, as additional security and as a credit enhancement for payment
and performance of the Repurchase Obligations with respect to the related Purchased Loan hereunder, and Buyer shall have all the rights and remedies of a “secured party” under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect thereto. For purposes
of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Section 6 hereof, this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC. Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the

  
 46 

 
remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Buyer, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall cause to
be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall
forward copies of such Filings to Seller upon the filing thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security
interest granted hereby. 
 Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any
appropriate jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (1) indicate the Collateral (i) as all Purchased Loans or words of similar effect, regardless of whether the description of the Purchased Loans in such
financing statements includes every component set forth in the definition, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (2) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the
sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether Seller is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Seller. Seller also ratifies its
authorization for Buyer to have filed in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller also hereby irrevocably authorizes Buyer and its counsel to
file UCC financing statements in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, describing the collateral as “All assets of Seller and all assets of each series of interests now or hereafter established by Seller or its member, in each case, whether
now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located, and all proceeds and products thereof” or words to that effect, and any limitations on such collateral description. 

Buyer’s security interest in a Purchased Loan, or the Collateral as a whole, shall terminate only upon (i) in the case of an
individual Purchased Loan, the repurchase and release thereof in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) in the case of the Collateral as a whole, the termination of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the documents delivered in
connection herewith and therewith. Upon any such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable to evidence the release of Buyer’s lien on and security
interest in the applicable Purchased Loan, or the Collateral, as applicable and to return the Purchased Loan Documents for such Purchased Loan to Seller. 

7. PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY 
 (a) On
the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Loans on a servicing –released basis shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer to an account of Seller specified in
the Confirmation relating to such Transaction of the difference between (i) the Purchase Price for the Purchased Loan(s) minus (ii) any and all fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and disbursements payable to Buyer pursuant to Sections 27 or 30(d) hereof in connection with such Transaction. The Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions under this Agreement are not severable from or to be
separated from the Purchased Loans under this Agreement. Such Servicing Rights and other servicing provisions of this Agreement constitute 

  
 47 

 
(a) ”related terms” under this Agreement within the meaning of Section 101(47)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (b) a security agreement or other arrangement or other
credit enhancement related to the Transaction Documents. 
 (b) On or before such Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Buyer or its designee the Custodial Delivery in the form attached hereto as Exhibit IV. In connection with each sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of a Purchased Loan that is not a Table Funded Purchased
Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Purchase Date with respect to such Purchased Loan, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Custodian, and shall cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt on the
Purchase Date concerning the receipt of, the Purchased Loan File (as defined below). In the case of any Purchased Loan that is a Table Funded Purchased Loan, Seller shall (i) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Purchase Date,
deliver or cause the bailee named in the related Bailee Letter to deliver to Custodian and Buyer by Electronic Transmission, PDF copies of the related Purchased Loan File (as defined below), and shall cause Custodian to deliver a Trust Receipt on
the Purchase Date concerning the receipt of copies of the Purchase Loan File, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days after the Purchase Date for such Purchased Loan, deliver or cause to be delivered and released to Custodian the following

related Purchased Loan Documents to Seller or its Affiliate, Seller shall, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, (i) remit such sums (other than Underlying Purchased Loan Reserves) to Depository for deposit in the Cash
Management Account as set forth in Section 5 hereof or as otherwise directed in the written notice signed by Seller and Buyer, and (ii) deliver (or cause Servicer to deliver), as applicable, either (x) an additional Re-direction Letter directing such borrower, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Loan to pay all amounts payable under the related Purchased Loan into the Cash
Management Account or (y) if Seller is not required to deliver a Re-direction Letter to such borrower, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Loan under
the terms of this paragraph, an additional instruction letter from Seller or Servicer, as applicable, to the borrower, issuer of a Participation Interest, servicer or paying agent with respect to the Purchased Loan under the applicable Purchased
Loan, instructing such Person to remit all sums required to be remitted to the holder of the Purchased Loan under the related Purchased Loan Documents to the Servicer for deposit in the Applicable Servicer Account or as otherwise directed in a
written notice signed by Seller and Buyer. 
 (d) From time to time, Seller shall forward to Custodian additional original documents or
additional copies of documents evidencing any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Purchased Loan approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and upon receipt of any such other documents, Custodian shall hold such
other documents as Custodian 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 

  
 52 

 
delivering such original documents, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true copy thereof with an officer’s certificate certifying that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of the
original, which has been transmitted for recordation. Seller shall deliver such original documents to Buyer or its designee promptly when they are received. With respect to all of the Purchased Loans delivered by Seller to Buyer or its designee
(including Custodian), Seller shall execute an omnibus power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit V attached hereto irrevocably appointing Buyer its
attorney-in-fact with full power to, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) complete and record the Assignment of Mortgage,
(ii) complete the endorsement of the Mortgage Note, (iii) request and receive progress reports, revised, amended or supplemented construction budgets, construction manager reports and any material notices or other documents with respect to
any Construction Loans and (iv) take such other steps as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enforce Buyer’s rights against such Purchased Loans and the related Purchased Loan Files and the Servicing Records. Buyer shall deposit
the Purchased Loan Files representing the Purchased Loans, or direct that the Purchased Loan Files be deposited directly, with Custodian. The Purchased Loan Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. Any Purchased Loan
Files not delivered to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) are and shall be held in trust by Seller or its designee for the benefit of Buyer as the owner thereof. Seller or its designee shall maintain a copy of the Purchased Loan File and
the originals of the Purchased Loan Files not delivered to Buyer or its designee. The possession of the Purchased Loan Files by Seller or its designee is at the will of Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Loan, and such
retention and possession by Seller or its designee is in a custodial capacity only. The books and records (including, without limitation, any computer records or tapes) of Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the
sale of the related Purchased Loan to Buyer. Seller or its designee (including Custodian) shall release its custody of the Purchased Loan Files only in accordance with written instructions from Buyer and in accordance with the provisions of the
Custodial Agreement, unless such release is required as incidental to the servicing of the Purchased Loans, is in connection with a repurchase of any Purchased Loan by Seller or as otherwise required by law. 

(e) Other than with respect to any Material Action (which shall require Buyer’s prior written consent in its sole and absolute
discretion; provided that, where Seller is bound to a stated standard of discretion for consenting to a Material Action under the terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents, Buyer, in exercising its consent rights to such Material Action,
shall be bound by the same standard of discretion as Seller under such Purchased Loan Documents), unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller shall exercise all voting, consent, corporate and decision-making rights with
respect to the Purchased Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Facility Event of Default, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting, consent, corporate, and decision-making rights with respect to any or all of the Purchased
Loans without regard to Seller’s instructions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Transaction Event of Default, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise all voting, consent, corporate and decision-making rights with respect to the
applicable Purchased Loan(s) in respect of which such Transaction Event of Default exists. 

  
 53 

 8. SALE, TRANSFER, HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED LOANS 

(a) Title to all Purchased Loans shall pass to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all
Purchased Loans, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 18 hereof, nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with
the Purchased Loans or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Purchased Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer the Purchased Loans to Seller pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or affect Seller’s rights to receive Available Income or Buyer’s obligation to apply Available Income to Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 5 hereof. 

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased Loans delivered to
Buyer by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Purchased Loan shall remain in the custody of Seller or an Affiliate of Seller. 

9. REPRESENTATIONS 
 Seller represents and
warrants to Buyer that as of the Closing Date, as of each Purchase Date and as of each date that any funds are remitted by Buyer to Seller hereunder (including any funds remitted by Buyer with respect to Margin Excess) and at all times that this
Agreement and any Transaction is in effect; provided that, for purposes hereof, all references to the term “Seller” in this Section 9 hereof shall be deemed to mean and refer to Master Seller together with
each Series Seller which is a party to this Agreement as of the date the applicable representation and warranty is made or deemed made: 
  

	 	(i)	 Organization. Seller is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws and
regulations of the state of Seller’s formation and is duly licensed, qualified, and in good standing in every state where such licensing or qualification is necessary for the transaction of Seller’s business except to the extent failure to
be so licensed or qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has the power to own and hold the assets it purports to own and hold, to carry on its business as now being conducted and proposed to be
conducted, and to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

  

	 	(ii)	 Due Execution; Enforceability. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by
Seller, for good and valuable consideration. The Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their respective terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other
limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Non-Contravention. None of the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents, the consummation by Seller of the transactions 

  
 54 

	 	
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (or any of them), nor compliance by Seller with the terms, conditions and provisions of the Transaction Documents (or any of them) will conflict with or
result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the organizational documents of Seller, (ii) any contractual obligation to which Seller is now a party or to which the assets of Seller are subject or constitute a
default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the assets of Seller, other than pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (iii) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court
applicable to Seller, or (iv) any applicable Requirement of Law, in the case of clauses (ii)-(iv) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Seller has all necessary licenses,
permits and other consents from Governmental Authorities necessary to acquire, own and sell the Purchased Loans and for the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents except to the extent failure to obtain such consent could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Litigation; Requirements of Law. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, or arbitration
pending or, to the actual knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or any of its respective assets, which, if determined adversely to Seller, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Seller is in compliance in all
material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to Seller. Neither Seller nor Guarantor is in default in any material respect with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority. 

  

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

 

	 	(vi)	 Good Title to Purchased Loans. Immediately prior to the purchase of any Purchased Loan by Buyer from
Seller, Seller owned such Purchased Loan free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or impediment to transfer (including any “adverse claim” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(1) of the UCC), and
Seller is the record and beneficial owner of and has good and marketable title to and the right to sell and transfer such Purchased Loan to Buyer and, upon transfer of such Purchased Loan to Buyer, Buyer shall be the owner of such Purchased Loan
free of any adverse claim, subject to the rights of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of any participation agreement, co-lender agreement, intercreditor
agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a Senior Interest or a Junior Interest. In the event that any Transaction is characterized as a secured financing of the

  
 55 

	 	
related Purchased Loans, the provisions of this Agreement are effective to create in favor of Buyer a valid “security interest” (as defined in
Section 1-201(b)(37) of the UCC) in all rights, title and interest of Seller in, to and under the Collateral and Buyer shall have a valid perfected first priority security interest in such Purchased
Loans. 

  

	 	(vii)	 No Default. No Facility Default or Facility Event of Default exists under or with respect to the
Transaction Documents that has not been disclosed to Buyer in writing. No Default exists under or with respect to the Transaction Documents that has not been disclosed to Buyer in writing. 

 

	 	(viii)	 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Purchased Loans; Delivery of Preliminary Due Diligence Package
and Purchased Loan File. With respect to each Purchased Loan, the Preliminary Due Diligence Package delivered to Buyer in connection with such Purchased Loan is complete, true and accurate in all material respects (including but not limited to,
complete, true and accurate in all material respects with respect to the disclosure of any direct or indirect ownership interests of Seller or its Affiliates in the related Mortgagor). With respect to each Purchased Loan, the Mortgage Note the
Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement for such Purchased Loan have been delivered to Buyer or Custodian on its behalf. Seller or its designee is in
possession of a complete, true and accurate Purchased Loan File with respect to each Purchased Loan, except for such documents the originals of which have been delivered to Custodian. 

 

	 	(ix)	 Adequate Capitalization; No Fraudulent Transfer. Seller has, as of each Purchase Date, adequate capital
for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations. Seller is generally able to pay, and as of the date hereof is paying, its debts as they come due. Seller
is not insolvent nor will Seller be made insolvent by virtue of Seller’s execution of or performance under any of the Transaction Documents within the meaning of the bankruptcy laws or the insolvency laws of the United States, the State of New
York or any other jurisdiction under which Seller is organized or qualified to do business. 

  

	 	(x)	 Consents. No consent, approval or other action of, or filing by Seller with, any Governmental Authority
or any other Person is required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance by Seller of any of the Transaction Documents (other than consents, approvals and filings that have been obtained or
made, as applicable). 

  
 56 

	 	(xi)	 Ownership. The direct and indirect ownership interests in Seller, Member and Guarantor are as set forth
on the organizational chart attached hereto as Exhibit VII hereto.

participation agreement, co-lender agreement, intercreditor agreement with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a Senior Interest or a Junior Interest, there are (i) no outstanding rights, options,
warrants or agreements on the part of Seller for a purchase, sale or issuance, in connection with the Purchased Loans, and (ii) no agreements on the part of Seller to issue, sell or distribute the Purchased Loans. 

 

	 	(xiv)	 Federal Regulations. None of Master Seller, any Series Seller or Member is required to register as an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act based on exceptions to registration set forth in the Investment Company Act other than the exceptions set forth in Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) thereof.

  

	 	(xv)	 Taxes. Seller and Member have filed or caused to be filed all federal and other material Tax returns
which would be delinquent if they had not been filed on or before the date hereof and have paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on or before the date hereof on such returns or on any assessments made against them or any of their property and
all other Taxes, fees or other charges imposed on them and any of their assets by any Governmental Authority 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; no Tax liens have been filed against any Seller’s or Member’s assets and, to the knowledge of Seller, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such
Taxes, fees or other charges.

Seller, Member or Guarantor unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court located in the United States of America, no Act of Insolvency has ever occurred with respect to Seller, Member or Guarantor, and Seller has no liens of any nature against it,
except for the liens created in favor of Buyer under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 

  
 57 

	 	(xviii)	 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in the Transaction Documents, or any written
statement furnished by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, to the knowledge of Seller, 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. 

  

	 	(xix)	 Financial Information. All financial data concerning Seller, Guarantor and Member that has been
delivered by or on behalf of Seller, Guarantor and/or Member to Buyer is true, complete and correct in all material respects and, other than financial models and projections with respect to which GAAP is inapplicable, has been prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer, there has been no change in the financial position of Seller, Guarantor and/or Member, or in the results of the operations of Seller, Guarantor and/or
Member, which change is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

  

	 	(xx)	 [Reserved]. 

  

	 	(xxi)	 Notice Address; Jurisdiction of Organization. On the date of this Agreement, Seller’s address for
notices is as set forth on Annex I attached hereto. Seller’s jurisdiction of formation is Delaware. The location where Seller keeps its books and records, including all computer tapes and records relating to the Collateral, is its notice

	 	(xxii)	 Prohibited Person. (a) None of the funds or other assets of Seller or Guarantor constitute property
of, or are, to the knowledge of Seller, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person with the result that the investment in Seller or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the
entering into this Agreement by Buyer is in violation of law; (b) to the knowledge of Seller, no Prohibited Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Seller or
Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the entering into this Agreement is in violation of law; (c) to the knowledge of Seller, none of the funds of Seller or Guarantor, as applicable, have been
derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in Seller or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the entering into this Agreement is in violation of law; (d) to the knowledge
of Seller, neither Seller nor Guarantor has conducted or will conduct any business or has engaged or will engage in any transaction dealing with any Prohibited Person; and 

  
 58

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

  

	 	(xxiv)	 Solvency. Neither the Transaction Documents nor any Transaction or Future Funding Transaction thereunder
are entered into in contemplation of insolvency or with intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Seller, Guarantor or an Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor. As of each Purchase Date, Seller is not insolvent within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.
Section 101(32) or any successor provision thereof and the transfer and sale of the respective Purchased Loan pursuant hereto and the obligation to repurchase such Purchased Loan (A) will not cause the liabilities of Seller to exceed the
assets of Seller, (B) will not result in Seller having unreasonably small capital, and (C) will not result in debts that would be beyond Seller’s ability to pay as the same mature. Seller received reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for the transfer and sale of the Purchased Loans. Seller has only entered into agreements on terms that would be considered arm’s length (provided that preferential pricing and other economic terms based on the business relationship
between Seller and its affiliates on the one hand, and their customers on the other hand, shall not be deemed to violate this requirement) and otherwise on terms consistent with other similar agreements with other similarly situated entities.

  

	 	(xxv)	 Servicing Agreements. Seller has delivered to Buyer all Servicing Agreements pertaining to the Purchased
Loans and to the actual knowledge of Seller, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Purchase Date for the purchase of any Purchased Loans subject to a Servicing Agreement, each such Servicing Agreement is in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms and no default or event of default exists thereunder. Each Servicing Agreement related to any Purchased Loan, may be terminated at will by Seller without payment of any penalty or fee. 

 

	 	(xxvi)	 No Reliance. Seller has made its own independent decisions to enter into the Transaction Documents and
each Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate and proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors (including without limitation, legal counsel and accountants) as it has deemed necessary. Seller is
not relying upon any advice from Buyer as to any aspect of the Transactions, including without limitation, the legal, accounting or tax treatment of such Transactions. 

  
 59 

	 	(xxvii)	 Ownership of Property. Seller does not own, and has not ever owned, any assets other than (A) the
Purchased Loans and (B) such incidental personal property related thereto. 

  

	 	(xxviii)	 REIT Status. Guarantor is a REIT. Guarantor is entitled to a dividends paid deduction under
Section 857 of the Code with respect to any dividends paid by it with respect to each taxable year for which it claims a deduction on its Form 1120-REIT filed with the United States Internal Revenue Service. Seller is, and always has been, a
disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

  

	 	(xxix)	 Anti-Corruption. Seller, Guarantor, each of their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers
and employees and, to the knowledge of Seller or Guarantor, the agents of Seller, Guarantor and their Subsidiaries, are in compliance with all applicable Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects. Seller, Guarantor and their Subsidiaries have
instituted, or remain subject to, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws.

Code) or (B) enters into a “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code (taking into account Sections 857(b)(6)(C), 857(b)(6)(D) and 857(b)(6)(E) of the Code) that results in “prohibited
transactions taxes” having an amount greater than $10,000,000 for any taxable year being imposed on Guarantor; or 

  

	 	(xviii)	 Guarantor’s audited annual financial statements or the notes thereto or other opinions or conclusions
stated therein are qualified or limited by 

  
 75 

	 	
reference to the status of Guarantor’ as a “going concern” or a reference of similar import, other than a qualification or limitation expressly related to Buyer’s rights in
the Purchased Loans. 

  

	 	(II)	 Each of the following shall constitute a “Transaction Event of Default”:

  

	 	(i)	 the applicable Series Seller fails to repurchase a Purchased Loan upon the applicable Repurchase Date therefor;

  

	 	(ii)	 the applicable Series Seller fails to pay any Margin Deficit with respect to a Purchased Loan when required
pursuant to Section 4 hereof; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the applicable Series Seller fails to repurchase a Purchased Loan which is the subject of a Mandatory Early
Repurchase, as and when required pursuant to Section 3(l) hereof; 

  

	 	(iv)	 the failure of Buyer to receive on any Remittance Date any amount due to Buyer for a Transaction pursuant to
Sections 5(c) or 5(d) hereof; or 

  

	 	(v)	 any Purchased Loan Representation (subject to any exceptions to such representations and warranties disclosed
in writing by Seller to Buyer that are approved by Buyer in writing in its sole and absolute discretion and set forth on Schedule 3 to the related Confirmation) with respect to any Purchased Loan in any Transaction Document shall have been incorrect
or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated and such incorrect or untrue Purchased Loan Representation, to the extent such breach is reasonably susceptible to cure, continues unremedied for five
(5) Business Days after the earlier of notice thereof from Buyer or Seller obtaining actual knowledge of such breach (unless Seller shall have made any such representation with actual knowledge that it was materially incorrect or untrue at the
time made, in which case such breach shall constitute an immediate Transaction Event of Default); provided that a Transaction Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred if the applicable Series Seller terminates the related
Transaction and repurchases the related Purchased Loan(s) on an Early Repurchase Date no later than five (5) Business Days after notice from Buyer to the applicable Series Seller that such Purchased Loan Representation is incorrect or untrue.

 (b) If a Facility Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the following rights and remedies shall be available
to Buyer: 
  

	 	(i)	 At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been
exercised, even if no written notice is given, automatically and immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 13(a)(I)(i) hereof), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has
not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being referred to hereinafter as the “Accelerated Repurchase Date”). 

  
 76 

	 	(ii)	 If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
Section 13(b)(i) hereof: 

  

	 	(A)	 Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase all Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and payable
on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase Date; and 

  

	 	(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 Loan accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default commencing upon the occurrence of such Event of Default and continuing for long
as such Event of Default continues; and 

  

	 	(C)	 Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all Purchased Loan Documents, instruments,
certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the Purchased Loans. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Upon the occurrence of a Facility Event of Default, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, on a servicing
released basis, at a public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory in its sole and absolute discretion any or all of the Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole and absolute
discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such
Purchased Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected pursuant to this Section 13(b)(iii) shall be applied
pursuant to Section 5(e). 

  

	 	(iv)	 The parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Purchased Loans subject to Transactions hereunder are not
instruments traded in a recognized market, and, in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Loans, Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole and absolute discretion and
(2) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Available Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Purchased Loans). The parties recognize that it may not be possible to
purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid at such time. In view of the nature of the
Purchased Loans, the parties agree that 

  
 77 

	 	
liquidation of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans pursuant to this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) hereof does not require a public purchase
or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion the time and manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans
pursuant to this Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) hereof, and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default or to liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. 

 

	 	(v)	 Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of all out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, (B) all costs incurred in connection with covering
transactions, and (C) any other actual out-of-pocket loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default.

  

	 	(vi)	 Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and
remedies provided by applicable federal, state and local laws (including, without limitation, if the Transactions are characterized as secured financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of the State of New York, to the
extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise set off
rights in accordance with Section 26 with respect to the proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency.

  

	 	(vii)	 Subject to the notice and grace periods set forth herein, Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies
available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time during the continuance thereof. Except as expressly required herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Buyer shall not be required, to give notice to
Seller or any other Person prior to exercising any remedy in respect of an Event of Default. 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 which Buyer may have. 

  

	 	(viii)	 Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller
hereby expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process. Unless prohibited by Requirements of Law, Seller also waives any defense Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of

  
 78 

	 	
nonjudicial process, disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, 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. 

  

	 	(ix)	 Upon the designation of any Accelerated Repurchase Date, Buyer may exercise all set off rights available to it
under Section 26. If a sum or obligation is unascertained, Buyer may, in good faith, estimate that obligation and set-off in accordance with Section 26 in
respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. This Section 13(b)(ix) 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). 

 

	 	(x)	 Seller shall within two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s written request, to execute and deliver
to Buyer such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts as Buyer may reasonably request for the purposes of assuring, perfecting and evidencing Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Loans,
including without limitation: (i) forwarding, to Buyer or Buyer’s designee (including, if applicable, Custodian), any payments Seller may hereafter receive on account of the Purchased Loans, in each case promptly upon receipt thereof;
(ii) delivering to Buyer or such designee any originals of certificates, instruments, documents, notices or files evidencing or relating to the Purchased Loans which are in Seller’s possession or under its control; (iii) delivering to
Buyer underwriting summaries, credit memos, assets summaries, status reports or similar documents relating to the Purchased Loans and in Sellers possession or under its control. 

 

	 	(xi)	 Buyer may complete and record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or
other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to any or all of the Purchased Loans and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Loan Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on
behalf of Custodian under the Custodial Agreement. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or Servicer. Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments and other
documents with respect thereto as Buyer shall request. It is acknowledged and agreed that Buyer shall not complete, record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or other documents or instruments executed in
blank with respect to any Purchased Loan unless and until a Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Purchased Loan. 

  
 79 

 (c) Without limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under
Section 13(b) hereof or otherwise available under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity, if a Transaction Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the following rights and remedies shall be available to
Buyer: 
  

	 	(i)	 At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to Seller, the Repurchase Date for the applicable
Transaction shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the “Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date”). 

  

	 	(ii)	 If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
Section 13(c)(i) hereof: 

  

	 	(A)	 the applicable Series Seller’s obligations hereunder to repurchase the applicable Purchased Loan shall
become immediately due and payable on and as of the Accelerated Transaction Repurchase Date; and 

  

	 	(B)	 the Repurchase Price with respect to such Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated Transaction Repurchase
Date) shall include the accrued and unpaid Price Differential with respect to such Purchased Loan accrued at the Pricing Rate applicable upon the occurrence of a Transaction Event of Default commencing upon the occurrence of such Event of Default
and continuing for long as such Event of Default continues; and 

  

	 	(C)	 Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer, deliver to Buyer all Purchased Loan Documents, instruments,
certificates and other documents then held by Custodian relating to the applicable Purchased Loan. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Upon the occurrence of a Transaction Event of Default, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or
private sale in a commercially reasonable manner and at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory in its sole and absolute discretion the applicable Purchased Loan or (B) in its sole and absolute discretion elect, in lieu of selling
all or a portion of such Purchased Loan, to give Seller credit for such Purchased Loan in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased Loan against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan and any other amounts owing by
Seller under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of any Purchased Loan effected pursuant to this Section 13(c)(iii) shall be applied pursuant to
Section 5(e). 

  

	 	(iv)	 Buyer may complete and record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or
other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to the applicable Purchased 

  
 80 

	 	
Loan and otherwise obtain physical possession of all Purchased Loan Documents and all other instruments, certificates and documents then held by or on behalf of Custodian under the Custodial
Agreement relating to such Purchased Loan. Buyer may obtain physical possession of all Servicing Records, Servicing Agreements and other files and records of Seller or Servicer relating to such Purchased Loan. Seller shall deliver to Buyer such
assignments and other documents with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan as Buyer shall request. It is acknowledged and agreed that Buyer shall not complete, record and/or file, as applicable, any assignments, allonges, endorsements, powers or
other documents or instruments executed in blank with respect to any Purchased Loan unless and until a Facility Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a Transaction Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such
Purchased Loan. 

 14. LIMITATIONS ON RECOURSE AGAINST SERIES SELLERS 

Buyer acknowledges that Master Seller is organized as a series limited liability company under
Section 18-215 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act. Notwithstanding that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been executed on behalf of Seller without reference to any
particular Series Seller, Buyer agrees to treat each Transaction under this Agreement as the obligation of the particular Series Seller of Master Seller that enters into the Transaction for the related Purchased Loan(s). Provided that no Facility
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the Repurchase Obligations of any Series Seller relating to or arising from the Transaction(s) to which such Series Seller is a party shall be enforceable only against such Series
Seller and with respect to the Purchased Loan(s) relating to such Transaction(s) and not against any other Series Seller or any other Purchased Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available to Buyer under Section 13(b) hereof against Seller and any and all Purchased Loans subject to Transactions hereunder upon the
occurrence and continuance of a Facility Event of Default. 
 15. RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS 

EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT (BUT NOT THE OBLIGATION) FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE OR CAUSE TO BE MADE TAPE RECORDINGS OF
COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ITS EMPLOYEES, IF ANY, AND THOSE OF THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO TRANSACTIONS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RIGHT TO RECORD COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO COMMUNICATIONS OF EMPLOYEES TAKING PLACE ON THE
TRADING FLOOR OF THE APPLICABLE PARTY. EACH OF BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF SUCH TAPE RECORDINGS IN ANY COURT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS, IF AND TO THE EXTENT CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND THE RULES OF COURT
AND EVIDENCE. 

  
 81 

 16. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS 

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 (a) hand delivery, with proof of attempted delivery, (b) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, (c) expedited prepaid delivery service,
either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (d) by telecopy (with answerback acknowledged) or email provided that such telecopy or email notice must also be delivered by one of the means set forth in
(a), (b) or (c) above, to the address specified in Annex 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 shall be deemed to have been given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, at the time of delivery, (b) in the case of registered or certified mail, when delivered
on a Business Day, (c) in the case of expedited prepaid delivery upon delivery on a Business Day, or (d) in the case of telecopy or email, upon receipt of answerback confirmation or upon transmission, respectively; provided that
(i) such telecopy or email notice was also delivered by one of the means set forth in (a), (b) or (c) above (which may arrive after such telecopy or email), and (ii) the transmitting party did not receive an electronic notice of a
transmission failure. A party receiving a notice which does not comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 16 may elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly given.

 17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY 

This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions.
Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement. Each party agrees
that (a) each Transaction is in consideration of and in reliance on the fact that all Transactions constitute a single business and contractual relationship, and that each Transaction has been entered into in consideration of the other
Transactions, (b) a default by it in the payment or performance of any its obligations under a Transaction shall constitute a default by it with respect to all Transactions, (c) Buyer may set off claims and apply properties and assets held
by or on behalf of Buyer with respect to any Transaction against the Repurchase Obligations owing to Buyer with respect to other Transactions, and (d) payments, deliveries and other transfers made by or on behalf of any party with respect to
any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers with respect to all Transactions, and the obligations of each party to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be
applied against each other and netted. 
 18. ASSIGNABILITY 

(a) The rights and obligations of Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and under any Transaction shall not be
assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. 

  
 82 

 (b) Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and/or under any Transaction or may issue one or more participation interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions, without the consent of, and without prior notice to, Seller, to any other Person, and, in connection
therewith, may bifurcate or allocate (i.e. senior/subordinate) amounts owed to Buyer; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) Buyer shall not assign or grant participations in its rights and
obligations hereunder to any Prohibited Transferee, and (ii) unless Buyer assigns and/or participates all of its interests under this Agreement to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Buyer, Buyer shall maintain full control over all
decisions to be made under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents (it being understood and agreed that participants in Buyer’s rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may be entitled, pursuant to the
terms of any such participation, to certain consent rights (in each case, solely to the extent of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement) over certain decisions and determinations deemed material under the terms of such participation) and Seller
shall not be required to interact with any Person other than Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Buyer may assign and/or grant participations in any and all of
its rights and obligations to any Prohibited Transferee without notice to or consent of Seller, and otherwise may assign or grant participations without limitations, restrictions or conditions of any kind. Seller shall reasonably cooperate at
Buyer’s sole cost and expense with Buyer in connection with any assignment or participation, provided Seller’s obligations under such Transaction are not increased and its rights under such Transaction are not impaired. Seller agrees that
any assignee or participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3(i) and 29 hereof (subject to the limitations and requirements under Section 29 hereof (it being understood that the applicable
documentation required under Section 29(e) hereof shall be delivered to the participating Buyer)); provided that, no assignee or participant will be entitled to any greater payment under Sections 3(i) or 29
hereof, than its assignor or participating Buyer would have been entitled to receive with respect to the applicable assigned or participated rights and obligations, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer, assignee or such participant with a request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from a central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer, such assignee or such participant, in each case made or issued after the participant or assignee acquired the applicable interest. 

(c) Buyer shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller (the
“Registrar”), maintain at one of its offices located in the United States a record of ownership (the “Register”) on which is entered the name and address of all assignees of Buyer and each such assignee’s
interest in the rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. All assignments pursuant to Section 18 hereof shall be recorded on the Register. This provision is intended to be interpreted so that the
indebtedness (for federal income tax purposes, as set forth in Section 22(e) hereof) evidenced by the Transaction Documents is treated as being in registered form in accordance with
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Buyer and Seller shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Buyer hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Buyer may, at any time,
designate any other Person, including, subject to Seller’s consent in its sole discretion, Seller, to be the successor Registrar. 

  
 83 

 (d) Each Buyer that sells a participation shall, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Seller, maintain a register on which is entered the name and address of each participant and such participant’s interest in the rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that, no Buyer shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a
participant’s interest in any rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such rights or obligations are in registered
form in accordance with Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in each Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Buyer shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in such Participant Register as the owner of the related rights and obligations for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 

(e) Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties to the Transaction Documents and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction Documents. 
 19.
GOVERNING LAW 
 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with 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 New York General Obligations Law). 

20. NO WAIVERS, ETC. 
 No express or
implied waiver of any Default or Event of Default by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default and no exercise of any right or remedy hereunder by Buyer shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other
right or remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.
Without limitation of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(c) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date. 

21. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS 
 (a) No
plan assets within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 as modified in operation by Section 3(42) of ERISA (“Plan Assets”) of any Plan subject to any provision of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code shall be used in connection with any Transaction. If any such assets are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in the Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party
prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance
thereon but shall not be required so to proceed. 

  
 84 

 (b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this
Section 21, if assets of Seller are deemed to be Plan Assets, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and
its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition. 
 (c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this
Section 21, if assets of Seller are deemed to be Plan Assets, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse
change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any
outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party. 
 22. INTENT 

(a) The parties intend, agree and acknowledge that: (i) this Agreement, together with all Transactions, constitutes a single agreement;
(ii) this Agreement and each Transaction to the extent that it has a Repurchase Date less than one year after the Purchase Date qualifies as a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101(47) of the Bankruptcy
Code, (iii) this Agreement and each Transaction qualifies as a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) each payment under this Agreement has been made by, to or for the
benefit of a “financial institution” as defined in section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “financial participant” as defined in section 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code or “repo participant” as defined in section
101(46) of the Bankruptcy Code, (v) the grant of a security interest set forth in Sections 6 and 28(b) hereof to secure the rights of Buyer hereunder also constitutes a “repurchase agreement” (where applicable) as contemplated by
Section 101(47)(A)(v) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “securities contract” as contemplated by Section 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and are a part of this Agreement, (vi) the pledge of each Mezzanine Loan constitutes
“a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions hereunder within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A), 101(47)(A)(v) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy
Code, and (vii) each of the Purchased Loans shall constitute a security, a mortgage loan or an interest in a mortgage loan. It is further understood that this Agreement is intended to constitute a “master netting agreement” as defined
in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to each Transaction so constituting a “repurchase agreement” (where applicable) or “securities contract”. Each party hereto hereby further agrees that it shall not
challenge the characterization of this Agreement as a “repurchase agreement,” “securities contract” and/or “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) The parties intend, agree and acknowledge that either party’s right to accelerate or terminate this Agreement or to liquidate
Purchased Loans delivered to it in connection with the Transaction hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 13 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate, terminate or accelerate such Transaction as
described in Sections 555 and 559 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Buyer shall be entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration, offset, net out and non-avoidability rights afforded
to 

  
 85 

 
parties to repurchase agreements, securities contracts, and master netting agreements under Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7), 362(b)(27), 362(o), 546(e), 546(f), 546(j), 555, 559 and 561 of the
Bankruptcy Code. It is further understood and agreed that either party’s right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in
connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder is a contractual right to cause the termination, liquidation, or acceleration of, or to offset net termination values, payment amounts or other transfer obligations arising under or in
connection with, this Agreement as described in Section 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (c) The parties intend, agree and acknowledge
that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial
contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). 

(d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or
“covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). 

(e) Each party intends, agrees and acknowledges that it is its intent for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to
treat the Transactions as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Loans, and the Purchased Loans as owned by Seller for such purposes, that each Series Seller shall be disregarded as a separate entity from the Master Seller and each
other Series Seller for such purposes, and each party agrees to take no action inconsistent with such treatment, unless required by applicable law, in which case such party shall promptly notify the other party of such requirement. 

(f) In light of the intent set forth above in this Section 22, Seller agrees that, from time to time upon the
written request of Buyer, Seller will execute and deliver any supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents as may be necessary or desirable, in Buyer’s sole discretion, in order to cause this Agreement and the Transactions
contemplated hereby to qualify for, comply with the provisions of, or otherwise satisfy, maintain or preserve the criteria for safe harbor treatment under the Bankruptcy Code for “repurchase agreements” (where applicable), “securities
contracts” and “master netting agreements”; provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to request, or Buyer’s or Seller’s failure to execute, such supplements, modifications, addendums or other documents does
not in any way alter or otherwise change the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder constitute “repurchase agreements” (where applicable), “securities contracts” and/or a “master
netting agreement” as such terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 

  
 86 

 23. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS 

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that: 

(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“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; and 
 (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. 

24. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL 

(a) Each party irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
any United States Federal or New York State court sitting in Manhattan, and any appellate court from any such court, solely for the purpose of any suit, action or proceeding brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement or relating in any
way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement and (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any right
of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or domicile. 
 (b) To the extent that either party has or hereafter may acquire any
immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment,
execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such party hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of any action brought to enforce its obligations under this Agreement
or relating in any way to this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement. 
 (c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding and irrevocably consent to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process by the mailing of copies of such
process to them at their respective address specified herein. The parties hereby agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Section 24 shall affect the right of Buyer or Seller to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding against the other party or its
property in the courts of other jurisdictions. 

  
 87 

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

Transaction Documents or any Transaction thereunder; and 

  

	 	(vi)	 No partnership or joint venture exists or will exist as a result of the Transactions or entering into and

	 	(i)	 Buyer 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 Buyer. Buyer has not made any independent inquiry of any aspect of the New Collateral or Purchased Loans or the underlying collateral. Buyer’s view is based on

	 	(ii)	 Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller constitute a statement of Buyer’s
view of the value of one or more loans or other assets at a particular point in time and neither (A) constitute a bid for a particular trade, (B) indicate a willingness on the part of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to make such a bid, nor
(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. 

  

	 	(iii)	 Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller may vary significantly from valuation
determinations and other information that may be obtained from other sources. 

  

	 	(iv)	 Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller are communicated to Seller solely for its

 89 

	 	(vii)	 Initial Market Value determinations and other information provided to Seller in connection therewith are to be
used by Seller for the sole purpose of determining whether to proceed in accordance with Section 3 hereof and for no other purpose. 

26. INDEMNITY; SET-OFF 

(a) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates and each of its officers, directors, employees
and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively
“Indemnified Amounts”) which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as this Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any
Indemnified Party in any way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any Transactions hereunder or thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Party
under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Buyer and the other Indemnified Parties harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased Loans relating to or arising out of any (A) breach of any representation or
warranty relating to Environmental Law or Hazardous Materials made by Seller hereunder or under any Transaction Document or any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law or (B) any violation or alleged violation of any consumer
credit laws, including without limitation ERISA, except to the extent such violation or alleged violation results from Buyer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any
Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Purchased Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against all
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time
owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for (i) all Buyer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the initial preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, (ii) all Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence reviews with respect to the
Purchased Loans or any loan which is proposed by Seller as a Purchased Loan, including without limitation, those incurred under Section 27 hereof and the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel, subject in all
cases under this clause (ii) to the terms and conditions of Section 27 hereof and (iii) all of Buyer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with ongoing servicing and asset management services engaged by
Buyer (to the extent of any reduction in the Pricing Rate). Additionally, Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all of Buyer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of
Buyer’s rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or any Transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, 

  
 90 

 
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse obligation of Seller. This
Section 26(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

(b) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under the Transaction Documents or Requirements of Law, Seller hereby grants to Buyer
and Buyer’s Affiliates, to secure repayment of the Repurchase Obligations, a right of set-off upon any and all of the following: monies, securities, collateral or other property of Seller and any proceeds
from the foregoing, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general,
specified, special, time, demand, provisional or final) and credits, claims or indebtedness of Seller at any time existing, and any obligation owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller and to set–off against any Repurchase Obligations
or indebtedness owed by Seller and any indebtedness owed by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to Seller, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, whether or not arising under the Transaction Documents and
irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the amount or obligation and in each case at any time held or owing by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer to or for the credit of Seller without prejudice to Buyer’s right to
recover any deficiency. Each of Buyer and each Affiliate of Buyer is hereby authorized upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller to Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer under the Transaction Documents or the Repurchase Obligations or upon the
occurrence of a Facility Event of Default, without notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by any Requirements of Law, to set–off, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of set–off
against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Affiliates by Seller under the Transaction Documents and the Repurchase Obligations, irrespective of whether Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer
shall have made any demand under the Transaction Documents and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts, and in all cases without waiver or prejudice of Buyer’s rights to recover a deficiency. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BUYER
OR AFFILIATES OF BUYER TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASED LOANS OR ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THE FOREGOING RIGHT OF SET–OFF, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED BY SELLER. 
 27. DUE DILIGENCE 

Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of
verifying compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior written notice to Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal
business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession or under
the control of Seller, any other servicer or subservicer and/or Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering financial or accounting questions respecting the
Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. 

  
 91 

 
Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has the right to request, at Seller’s expense, a new Appraisal for any Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan upon the occurrence of a Credit
Event relating to such Purchased Loan or upon an Event of Default, but not more than once in any six (6) month period. Prior to the occurrence of either a Credit Event or a Facility Event of Default, Buyer may also request one
(1) Appraisal during any consecutive twenty-four month period for the related Mortgaged Property at Seller’s expense. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer
may enter into Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial
or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and any third
party underwriter reasonably acceptable to Seller in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, financial models, agreements,
instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller (excluding internal rate of return or other internal metrics relating to the profitability of Guarantor or Seller). 

28. SERVICING 
 (a) Master Seller, on
behalf of itself and each Series Seller, and Buyer agree that ownership of all Servicing Rights with respect to the Purchased Loans will be transferred hereunder to Buyer on the applicable Purchase Date and such ownership of Servicing Rights shall
be transferred by Buyer to Master Seller or the applicable Series Seller upon the applicable Series Seller’s payment of the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans, in each case subject to the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms of this Section 28, Buyer shall have the right to hire or engage any Person to service or subservice all or any portion of the Purchased Loans. Buyer
hereby grants to Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the right to exercise all discretion with respect to any directions or consents to be given to the Servicer of the Purchased
Loans (other than as provided below) and to appoint a servicer for each Purchased Loan subject to the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be given by Buyer in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that
(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Facility Event of Default, Master Seller’s and each Series Seller’s rights to exercise such discretion with respect to all of the Purchased Loans shall automatically terminate
and be of no further force and effect, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Transaction Event of Default with respect to any Purchased Loan, Master Seller’s and the applicable Series Seller’s rights to exercise
such discretion with respect to such Purchased Loan shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. Buyer hereby agrees that any of (i) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (ii) KeyBank National Association, and
(iii) Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, or any other third party servicer otherwise approved by Buyer in writing (a “Servicer”) may service the Purchased Loans for the benefit of Buyer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the servicing agreement in effect for each such Servicer, provided that each such servicing agreement shall have been approved in writing by Buyer in its reasonable discretion and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to pledge or
hypothecate the Purchased Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof, Buyer’s assigns (each such servicing agreement approved by Buyer (and, if applicable, Buyer’s assigns), a “Servicing Agreement”

  
 92 

 
and, collectively, the “Servicing Agreements”); and provided, further, that any such Servicer shall have entered into a Servicer Notice and Agreement substantially
in the form of Exhibit IX attached hereto (a “Servicer Notice and Agreement”) acknowledging Buyer’s interests in the related Purchased Loans and its rights to sell such Purchased Loans on a servicing-released basis and
to terminate the term of such Servicing Rights with respect to any Purchased Loans sold by Buyer from and after an Event of Default. Master Seller shall cause the Purchased Loans to be serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices
approved by Buyer in its reasonable discretion and practiced by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to mortgage loans similar to the Purchased Loans. Master Seller shall not, and shall not direct or permit any Servicer to, enter into,
consent to or approve any amendment, modification or termination, or waiver of any term or provision, of any Purchased Loan or Purchased Loan Documents which constitutes a Material Action or take any other Material Action without Buyer’s prior
written consent. 
 (b) Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, agrees that Buyer is the owner of all of Seller’s
right, title and interest, if any, in and to 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 Loans (collectively, the “Servicing Records”) so long as the Purchased
Loans are subject to this Agreement. Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller, grants Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s interest (if any) in servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing
Records to secure the obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section 28 and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such Servicing Records (if any are in
Seller’s possession) and, upon Buyer’s request, to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including Custodian) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 

(c) The Servicer Notice and Agreement shall provide that Servicer’s right under the applicable Servicing Agreement to service the
Purchased Loans shall automatically terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day following its execution and at the end of each thirty (30) day period thereafter, unless, in each case, Buyer shall
agree, by delivery of a written notice to the related Servicer on or before the Remittance Date immediately preceding each such scheduled termination date, to extend the termination date an additional thirty (30) days. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, subject to Section 13 hereof and any terms in the applicable Servicing Agreements approved by Buyer (i) in the case of a
Facility Event of Default, sell its rights to any or all of the Purchased Loans (or in the case of a Transaction Event of Default, sell its rights to the affected Purchased Loan(s)) on a servicing released basis or (ii) in the case of a
Facility Event of Default, terminate any Servicer or sub-servicer of any or all of the Purchased Loans (or in the case of a Transaction Event of Default, terminate the Servicer and sub-servicer, if any, for the affected Purchased Loan(s)), with or without cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee. Seller shall cause each Servicer to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such
termination and transferring all authority to service such Purchased Loans to the successor servicer, including requiring such Servicer to (i) promptly transfer all data in its possession relating to the applicable Purchased Loans to the
successor servicer in such electronic format as the successor servicer may reasonably request, (ii) promptly transfer to the successor servicer, 

  
 93 

 
Buyer or Buyer’s designee, the Purchased Loan File and all other files, records, correspondence and documents in its possession relating to the applicable Purchased Loans and (iii) use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with the successor servicer and/or Buyer to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirement associated with the transfer of the servicing of the applicable Purchased Loans.
Seller agrees that if either Seller or any such Servicer fails to cooperate with Buyer or any successor servicer in effecting the termination of such Servicer as servicer of any Purchased Loan or the transfer of all authority to service such
Purchased Loan to such successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof and the applicable Servicing Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief. 

(d) Seller shall collaterally assign to Buyer all of its rights, title and interest under any Servicing Agreements as a condition of allowing
the Purchased Loans to be serviced by such Servicer and shall cause each such Servicer engaged by Seller to execute a Servicer Notice and Agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer’s security interest, agreeing that it shall deposit all Income
and any other sums required to be remitted to the holder of the Purchased Loans under related Purchased Loan Documents in the Cash Management Account as set forth in Section 5 hereof or as otherwise directed in a written
notice signed by Buyer for so long as such Purchased Loan is subject to this Agreement, and acknowledging Buyer’s rights to terminate servicing as otherwise set forth above in this Section 28. 

(e) If Servicer is an Affiliate of Seller or Guarantor, the payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding
under any Transaction and this Agreement. 
 29. TAXES 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in Seller’s good faith discretion) 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 by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 29) Buyer
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made in respect of such Indemnified Taxes. 

(b) Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Seller shall indemnify Buyer, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 29) payable or paid by Buyer or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Buyer, 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 Buyer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 94 

 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to this Section 29, Seller shall deliver to 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 Buyer. 
 (e) (i) If Buyer is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Seller as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Buyer, if reasonably requested by Seller, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
Seller as will enable Seller to determine whether or not Buyer 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 29(e)(ii)(A), Section 29(e)(ii)(B) and Section 29(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in
Buyer’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. 

 

	 	(ii)	 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

 

	 	(A)	 if Buyer is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to 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), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Buyer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

  

	 	(B)	 if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, 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:

  

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

  
 95 

	 	(II)	 executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

 

	 	(III)	 in the case of a Foreign Buyer claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-1 to the effect that such Foreign Buyer is not a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

  

	 	(IV)	 to the extent a Foreign Buyer is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit XI-2 or Exhibit
XI-3 or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Buyer is a partnership and one
or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Buyer are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Buyer may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
XI-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

  

	 	(C)	 if Buyer is a Foreign Buyer, 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), executed copies of any other form prescribed
by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Seller to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  

	 	(D)	 if a payment made to Buyer 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 

  
 96 

	 	
as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller as may be necessary for Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA
and to determine that Buyer 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 clause (D), “FATCA” shall include all amendments made
to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

 Buyer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) 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 Section 29 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 29), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 29 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 29(f) (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 Section 29(f), in no
event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 29(f) 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 29(f) 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. 
 (g) Each party’s obligations under this
Section 29 shall survive any assignment of rights by Buyer, the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans. 

30. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the
respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers
of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

  
 97 

 (i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA
Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 

(ii) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

 (A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

behalf of itself and each Series Seller (as defined in the Repurchase Agreement (hereinafter defined)) (Master Seller together with each Series Seller which may hereafter be a party to the Repurchase Agreement, collectively,

PART I: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

REGARDING INDIVIDUAL PURCHASED LOANS 

With respect to each Purchased Loan, Seller hereby represents and warrants, as of the date herein specified or, if no such date is specified,
as of the Purchase Date, \that: 
 1. Whole Loan; Ownership of Purchased Loans. Except with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a
Senior Interest or a Junior Interest, each Purchased Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. Each Senior Interest is a senior or pari passu portion of a whole loan evidenced by a senior or pari passu note. At the
time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Buyer, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation (other than with respect to any Purchased Loan that is a Participation Interest) or
pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to a Purchased Loan that is a Participation Interest),
any other ownership interests (other than with respect to a Purchased Loan that is a Senior Interest or a Junior Interest) on, in or to such Purchased Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and
authority to sell, assign and transfer each Purchased Loan, and, upon the completion of the assignee information therein and Buyer’s countersignature where applicable, the assignment to Buyer constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of
such Purchased Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Purchased Loan. 

2. Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other
agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Purchased Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and
is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) those certain provisions in such Purchased Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the
limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Purchased Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or
security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”). 
 Except as set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any 

  
 Exhibit VI-1 

 
of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Purchased Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by
Seller in connection with the origination of the Purchased Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Purchased Loan Documents. 

3. Mortgage Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of
the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable,
non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications. 
 4.
Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Purchased Loan File or as otherwise provided in the related Purchased Loan Documents (a) the material terms of such
Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Purchased Loan guaranty, and related Purchased Loan Documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any
portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property;
and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Purchased Loan. With respect to each Purchased Loan File, except as contained in a written document included in the
Purchased Loan File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Purchased Loan consented to by Seller on or after the related Purchase Date. 

5. Hospitality Provisions. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated
pursuant to a franchise or license agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the related Mortgagor and franchisor or licensor of such property that, subject to the applicable terms of such franchise or license
agreement and comfort letter or similar agreement, is enforceable by the holder of the Purchased Loan against such franchisor or licensor either (A) directly or as an assignee of the originator, or (B) upon Seller’s or its
designee’s providing notice of the transfer of the Purchased Loan in accordance with the terms of such executed comfort letter or similar agreement. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Purchased Loan secured by a hospitality
property creates a security interest in the revenues of such Mortgaged Property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office. For the avoidance of doubt, no representation is made as to the perfection of any
security interest in revenues to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection. 

6. Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases
from Seller will constitute a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage

  
 Exhibit VI-2 

 
is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee or leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Purchased Loan or allocated loan
amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (7) (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications.
Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Purchase Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded
materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described
below), and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or
encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required
in order to effect such perfection. 
 7. Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan is
covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a
preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Purchased Loan (or with respect to a
Purchased Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that
insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments due
and payable but not yet delinquent; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy;
(d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; (f) if the
related Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Purchased Loan (each a “Crossed Mortgage Loan”), the lien of the Mortgage for another Purchased Loan that is
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with such Crossed Mortgage Loan; and (g) if the related Purchased Loan is part of a whole loan, the rights of the holder(s) of any related whole loan(s) pursuant to the related co-lender agreement, provided that none of which items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property or the
security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding
sentence, none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with 

  
 Exhibit VI-3 

 
the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no
claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller, nor to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Purchased Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the
coverage under such Title Policy. 
 8. Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Purchased
Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loan, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money
encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and
equipment and other personal property financing. Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor, other than any applicable Related Interest. 

9. Assignment of Leases. There exists as part of the related Purchased Loan File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate
instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain
obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases,
subject to applicable law, provides that, upon an event of default under the Purchased Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents
to be paid directly to the mortgagee. 
 10. UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property,
Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, have been submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording
offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Purchased Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the
related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the
terms of the related Purchased Loan Documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the
Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in
rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection. 

  
 Exhibit VI-4 

 11. Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Purchased Loan inspected
or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six (6) months of origination of the Purchased Loan and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. 

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan no more than
twelve (12) months prior to the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Purchase Date, each related Mortgaged
Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) any damage or deficiency that is estimated to cost less than $50,000 to repair, (ii) any deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and
(iii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Purchased Loan. 

12. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without
limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, that could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Purchase Date have become delinquent
in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this
representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or
penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority. 

13. Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding pending,
and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Purchase Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value,
use or operation of the Mortgaged Property. 
 14. Actions Concerning Purchased Loan. As of the date of origination and to
Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an
adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability
to perform under the related Purchased Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Purchased Loan Documents or (f) the current
principal use of the Mortgaged Property. 
 15. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required to be escrowed with lender
pursuant to each Purchased Loan are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or
the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Purchased Loan Documents are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer or its servicer. 

  
 Exhibit VI-5 

 16. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Purchased Loan stated on the Purchased
Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Purchase Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Purchased Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in
escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such
holdback). 
 17. Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a
property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the
requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of any one of the following: (i) at least
“A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company, (ii) at least “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or (iii) at least “A-” from S&P
(collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on
a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount
necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. 

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Purchased Loan Documents, by business
interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Purchased Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more,
18 months). 
 If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus
such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by Seller for comparable mortgage loans intended for securitization. 

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering
damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Purchased Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of
the improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements. 

  
 Exhibit VI-6 

 The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related
Purchased Loan Documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and
death) in amounts as are generally required by Seller for loans originated for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate. 

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3
or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing either the scenario expected limit (“SEL”) or the probable maximum loss (“PML”) for the
Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the SEL or PML, as applicable, was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of
exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the SEL or PML, as applicable, would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least
“A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the SEL or PML, as applicable. 

The Purchased Loan Documents require insurance proceeds in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or
restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) the lender (or a trustee
appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) together with any
accrued interest thereon. 
 All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required to be paid as of the Purchase Date
have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or
additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of Buyer. Each related Purchased Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to
maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender
of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law)
arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller. 

18. Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct
legal access to such road, or has access via 

  
 Exhibit VI-7 

 
an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and
sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are appropriate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the
Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax
lots, in which case the Purchased Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created. 

19. No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s
Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Purchased Loan, all material
improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Purchased Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except
encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related
Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon
any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy. 

20. No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Purchased Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest
feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan (as defined below) may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date (as defined below)) or an equity
participation by Seller. 
 21. REMIC. The Purchased Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code
Section 860G(a)(3) (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats
certain defective Purchased Loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Purchased Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal
amount of the Purchased Loan and (B) either: (a) such Purchased Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and
air conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding
personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Purchased Loan (or related whole loan, if applicable) was originated at least equal to 80% of 

  
 Exhibit VI-8 

 
the adjusted issue price of the Purchased Loan (or related whole loan, as applicable) on such date or (ii) at the Purchase Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the
Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior
to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan (or whole loan, if applicable); or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Purchased Loan were
used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Purchased Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)) of the Treasury Regulations. If the Purchased Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Purchase Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of
the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Purchased Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above
(substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Purchased Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance
charges applicable to the Purchased Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph
shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations. 
 22. Compliance with Usury Laws. The interest rate
(exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Purchased Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other
requirements pertaining to usury. 
 23. Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Purchase
Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized
does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Purchased Loan by the trust. 
 24. Trustee under Deed of Trust.
With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Purchase Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the
deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related mortgagee. 

25. Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an
architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial,
multifamily or, if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, with respect to the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Purchased Loan as of the date of origination
of such Purchased Loan and as of the Purchase Date, there are no material violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building 

  
 Exhibit VI-9 

 
codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) constitute a legal non-conforming use or
structure, as to which the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to a casualty or the inability to restore or repair to the full extent necessary to
maintain the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) are insured by the Title Policy or other insurance policy, (iii) are insured by
law and ordinance insurance coverage in amounts customarily required by Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations or (iv) would
not have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Loan. The terms of the Purchased Loan Documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws. 

26. Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Purchased Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits
and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local
law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial, multifamily or if applicable, manufactured housing community mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable
governmental authorizations are in effect. The Purchased Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located. 

27. Recourse Obligations. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan provide that (a) the related Mortgagor and at least
one individual or entity shall be fully liable for actual losses, liabilities, costs and damages arising from certain acts of the related Mortgagor and/or its principals specified in the related Purchased Loan Documents, which acts generally include
the following: (i) acts of fraud or intentional material misrepresentation, (ii) misapplication or misappropriation of rents, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, (iii) intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged
Property (provided that the Mortgaged Property generates sufficient cash flow to prevent such waste), and (iv) any breach of the environmental covenants contained in the related Purchased Loan Documents, and (b) the Purchased Loan shall
become full recourse to the related Mortgagor and at least one individual or entity, if the related Mortgagor files a voluntary petition under federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law. 

28. Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Purchased Loan Documents do not provide for release of any material
portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), in each case, of not less than a specified percentage
at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan, (b) upon payment in full of such Purchased Loan,
(c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (33)), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on
the underwritten value 

  
 Exhibit VI-10 

 
of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the Appraisal obtained at the origination of the Purchased Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the
Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation or taking by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof. With respect to any partial release (including in
connection with any partial Defeasance) under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject
Purchased Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (ii) would not cause the subject Purchased Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the
meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); or (y) the mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Purchased Loan Documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax
counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property
after the release (reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan
or whole loan, if applicable) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Purchased Loan (or Senior Interest or Junior Interest, as applicable) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a
payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions (as defined below). 
 In the case of any
Purchased Loan, in the event of a condemnation or taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a state or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the
principal balance of the Purchased Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation proceeds may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to
the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining
Mortgaged Property (reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Purchased Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property interest that is in parity with the Purchased Loan or whole
loan, if applicable) not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Purchased Loan (or Senior Interest or Junior Interest, as applicable). 

No Purchased Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions. 
 29. Financial Reporting
and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly
(other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements,
which annual financial statements with 

  
 Exhibit VI-11 

 
respect to each Purchased Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related
combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis. 

30. Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Purchased Loan over $20 million, the related
special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts
of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively
referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each other Purchased Loan, the related
special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of
origination of the Purchased Loan, and, to Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Purchase Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism
insurance policy. With respect to each Purchased Loan, the related Purchased Loan Documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the
extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that
terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Purchased Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the
amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Purchased Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components
of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at such time, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to
such amount. 
 31. Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Purchased Loan contains a
“due on sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Purchased Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably
withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Purchased Loan Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the
related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and
transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold,
other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers 

  
 Exhibit VI-12 

 
upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Purchased Loan Documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling
interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Purchased Loan Documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the
related Purchased Loan Documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (28)
and (33) herein or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Purchased Loan or future permitted mezzanine debt (and which is disclosed in writing to Buyer and approved by Buyer in its sole
discretion prior to the Purchase Date of such Purchased Loan), or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any subordinate debt
that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Purchased Loan Documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Purchased Loan
Documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses
incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance. 
 32. Single-Purpose
Entity. Each Purchased Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Purchased Loan is outstanding. Both the Purchased Loan Documents and the organizational
documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Purchased Loan with a Purchase Date Principal Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Purchased Loan
with a Purchase Date Principal Balance of $20 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Purchased Loan has a Purchase Date Principal Balance equal to $5 million or less, its
organizational documents or the related Purchased Loan Documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Purchased Loans
and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Purchased Loan Documents, substantially to the effect
that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Purchased Loan
Documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other
person or entity. 
 33. Defeasance. With respect to any Purchased Loan that, pursuant to the Purchased Loan Documents, can be
defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Purchased Loan Documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Purchased Loan Documents; (ii) the Purchased
Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only 

  
 Exhibit VI-13 

 
United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which
will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Purchased Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date or, if the Purchased Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire
principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Purchased Loan permits partial releases of
real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of
(a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan; (iv) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public
accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (v) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the Defeasance
collateral, the portion of the Purchased Loan secured by Defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vi) the Mortgagor is
required to provide an opinion of counsel that the mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (vii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance
(if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel. 

34. Fixed Interest Rates. Each Purchased Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such
Purchased Loan, except in the case of ARD Loans and situations where default interest is imposed. 
 35. Ground Leases. For purposes
of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land, or with respect to
air rights leases, the air, and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the
reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency (IDA) or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit. 

With respect to any Purchased Loan where the Purchased Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the
related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its
successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that: 
  

	 	(a)	 The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for
recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and
does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage; 

  
 Exhibit VI-14 

	 	(b)	 The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Purchased Loan File (or in
such Ground Lease) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the
origination of the Purchased Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Purchased Loan File; 

  

	 	(c)	 The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which,
under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either borrower or the mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Purchased Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if
such Purchased Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Purchased Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes); 

 

	 	(d)	 The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority
with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances, or (ii) is subject to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to which the
mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest in the Mortgaged Property is subject; 

  

	 	(e)	 The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the
Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Purchased Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Purchased Loan and its
successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor; 

  

	 	(f)	 Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground
Lease. To Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to
Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Purchase Date; 

  

	 	(g)	 The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the
lender written notice of any default, and provides that no notice of default or termination is effective against the lender unless such notice is given to the lender; 

  
 Exhibit VI-15 

	 	(h)	 A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession
of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

  

	 	(i)	 The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially
unreasonable by Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization; 

  

	 	(j)	 Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the
related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than (i) de minimis amounts for minor casualties or (ii) in respect of a total
or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in clause (k) below) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of
the threshold amount specified in the related Purchased Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal
balance of the Purchased Loan, together with any accrued interest; 

  

	 	(k)	 In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel
or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related
Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Purchased Loan, together with any accrued interest; and 

 

	 	(l)	 Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed
to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. 

36. Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by Seller with respect to the Purchased Loan have been, in all respects,
legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs. 
 37. Origination and
Underwriting. The origination practices of Seller (or the related originator if Seller was not the originator) with respect to each Purchased Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Purchased
Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Purchased Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not
address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Exhibit VI. 

  
 Exhibit VI-16 

 38. No Material Default; Payment Record. No Purchased Loan has been more than
30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the date hereof, no Purchased Loan is more than 30 days delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period)
in making required payments as of the Purchase Date. To Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Purchased Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments
due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Purchased Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property,
provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and
warranty made by Seller in this Exhibit VI (including, but not limited to, the prior sentence). No person other than the holder of such Purchased Loan may declare any event of default under the Purchased Loan or accelerate
any indebtedness under the Purchased Loan Documents. 
 39. Bankruptcy. As of the date of origination of the related Purchased Loan
and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Purchase Date, no Mortgagor, guarantor or tenant occupying a single-tenant property is a debtor in state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding. 

40. Organization of Mortgagor. With respect to each Purchased Loan, in reliance on certified copies of the organizational documents of
the Mortgagor delivered by the Mortgagor in connection with the origination of such Purchased Loan (or whole loan, as applicable), the Mortgagor is an entity organized under the laws of a state of the United States of America, the District of
Columbia or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Except with respect to any Crossed Mortgage Loan, no Purchased Loan has a Mortgagor that is an Affiliate of another Mortgagor under another Purchased Loan. (An “Affiliate” for purposes of
this paragraph (40) means, a Mortgagor that is under direct or indirect common ownership and control with another Mortgagor.) 
 41.
Environmental Conditions. A Phase I environmental site assessment (or update of a previous Phase I and or Phase II site assessment) and, with respect to certain Purchased Loans, a Phase II environmental site assessment
(collectively, an “ESA”) meeting ASTM requirements was conducted by a reputable environmental consultant in connection with such Purchased Loan within 12 months prior to its origination date (or an update of a previous ESA was
prepared), and such ESA either (i) did not identify the existence of recognized environmental conditions (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor, hereinafter “Environmental
Condition”) at the related Mortgaged Property or the need for further investigation with respect to any Environmental Condition that was identified, or (ii) if the existence of an Environmental Condition or need for further
investigation was indicated in any such ESA, then at least one of the following statements is true: (A) an amount reasonably estimated by a reputable environmental consultant to be sufficient to cover the estimated cost to cure any material
noncompliance with applicable Environmental Laws or the Environmental 

  
 Exhibit VI-17 

 
Condition has been escrowed by the related Mortgagor and is held or controlled by the related lender; (B) if the only Environmental Condition relates to the presence of asbestos-containing materials, radon in indoor air, lead based paint or lead in drinking water, and the only recommended action in the ESA is the institution of such a plan, an operations or maintenance plan has
been required to be instituted by the related Mortgagor that can reasonably be expected to mitigate the identified risk; (C) the Environmental Condition identified in the related environmental report was remediated or abated in all material
respects prior to the date hereof, and, if and as appropriate, a no further action or closure letter was obtained from the applicable governmental regulatory authority (or the Environmental Condition affecting the related Mortgaged Property was
otherwise listed by such governmental authority as “closed” or a reputable environmental consultant has concluded that no further action is required); (D) a secured creditor environmental policy or a lender’s pollution legal
liability insurance policy that covers liability for the Environmental Condition was obtained from an insurer rated no less than A- (or the equivalent) by Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch; (E) a party
not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such Environmental Condition and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the
Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in
ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property. 
 42. Appraisal. The
Servicer File contains an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within six (6) months of the Purchased Loan origination date, and within twelve (12) months of the Purchase Date. The Appraisal is signed by an
appraiser who is either a member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) and/or has been licensed and certified to prepare appraisals in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. Each appraiser has represented in such Appraisal
or in a supplemental letter that the Appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation and has certified that such
appraiser had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and its compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Purchased Loan. 

43. Purchased Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Purchased Loan which is set forth in the Purchased Loan Schedule is
true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date. 
 44.
Cross-Collateralization. Except with respect to a Purchased Loan that is part of a whole loan, no Purchased Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is not a Purchased Loan. 
 45. Advance of Funds by
Seller. After origination, no advance of funds has been made by Seller to the related Mortgagor other than in accordance with the Purchased Loan Documents, and, to Seller’s knowledge, no funds have been received from any person other than
the related Mortgagor or an affiliate for, or on account of, payments due on the Purchased Loan (other than as contemplated by the Purchased Loan Documents, such as, by way of example and 

  
 Exhibit VI-18 

 
not in limitation of the foregoing, amounts paid by the tenant(s) into a lender-controlled lockbox if required or contemplated under the related lease or
Purchased Loan Documents). Neither Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Purchased Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof. 

46. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. Seller has complied in all material
respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Purchased Loan, the failure to comply
with which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchased Loan. 
 47. Seller has obtained a copy of the related Mortgagor’s
general construction contract and/or construction management agreement and each construction contract and/or subcontract, as applicable, sufficient to complete the project consistent with the Plans and Specifications (as defined below) in
compliance with all restrictive covenants of record applicable to such underlying Mortgaged Property and all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations, including, without limitation, all applicable zoning laws, and there is a
collateral assignment of the general construction contract and/or construction management agreement and each construction contract and/or subcontract, as applicable, to Seller as additional collateral for the Construction Loan. 

48. Seller has obtained copies of the related Mortgagor’s plans and specifications for the design and construction of the project (the
“Plans and Specifications”) and the architect, engineering and other applicable contacts with respect thereto, which Plans and Specifications are in all material respects in compliance with restrictive covenants of record applicable
to such underlying Mortgaged Property and all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations, including, without limitation, all applicable zoning laws, and there is a collateral assignment of the Plans and Specifications, and all
applicable contracts with respect thereto, to Seller as additional collateral for the related Mortgage Loan, Senior Interest, Junior Interest or Related Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, and shall have the right to use the Plans and Specifications upon
any transfer of the underlying Mortgaged Property to Buyer by foreclosure or otherwise. 
 49. Mortgagor has obtained all licenses, permits,
including, without limitation, building permits, and approvals required by all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations to be obtained for the construction of the improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, all
such licenses and permits for the project have been paid for, and are in full force and effect, and there is a collateral assignment of the licenses, permits and approvals to Seller as additional collateral for the Construction Loan. 

50. Seller has obtained a copy of the related Mortgagor’s development or construction services agreement related to the development of
the project, and any such service provider has executed an assignment and subordination agreement with respect thereto. 
 51. Seller has
obtained a project budget which sets forth all hard and soft costs and expenses (with a specific allocation of the maximum advance for hard and soft costs and 

  
 Exhibit VI-19 

 
expenses) which will be incurred by Mortgagor in the design and construction of the project as shown on the Plans and Specifications, and the unfunded principal amount of the Purchased Loan
stated on the Purchased Loan Schedule to be disbursed is equal to or in excess of the remaining budget to complete the project and on each date of the determination thereof the related Mortgage Loan, Senior Interest, or Junior Interest, is “in
balance”. 
 52. Seller has obtained a project completion schedule which sets forth the date which project is scheduled to be
completed, and the related loan documents require the project to be completed by the project deadline, which deadline shall be at least one (1) year prior to the maturity date of the Purchased Loan. 

53. Adequate sums to pay interest, insurance, taxes and other assessments for the term of the Construction Loan were reserved in connection
with the origination of the Purchased Loan or included in the project budget. 
 54. All releases for future advance to fund project costs
are conditioned upon (i) no existing defaults, (ii) Mortgagor’s submission of a draw request, (iii) minimum disbursements of $25,000, (iv) maximum disbursement requests of once per month, (v) at Buyer’s option, an
inspection and approval of the improvements by Buyer’s independent consultant, (vi) Mortgagor’s certification that there are no existing defaults, that all work covered by the draw request has been completed in a good and workmanlike

(ii) that all work has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, and that all such work has been in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations, including,
without limitation, all applicable zoning laws; (iii) of a certification by the contractor, architect or engineer and, at Buyer’s option, a report from Buyer’s architect or engineer that all work (including, without limitation, all
punchlist items) has been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and has been in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations; (iv) Buyer’s receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that all

(vi) receipt of “as built” survey; (vii) receipt of “as built” Plans and Specifications; and (viii) the filing by Mortgagor of a notice of completion, as applicable. 

  
 Exhibit VI-20 

 56. Buyer shall not be obligated to fund project costs for (i) deposits or other
payments for materials or services or in respect of labor and materials that have not yet been incorporated into the project, (ii) any amounts retained or permitted to be retained by Mortgagor from payments to any contractor or any
subcontractor, (iii) any item in excess of the amount shown for that item on the project budget, taking into account reasonable permitted reallocations from any contingency line item in the project budget, or (iv) if after such
disbursement the related Mortgage Loan, Senior Interest or Junior Interest, as applicable, would not be “in balance” (i.e., the unfunded principal amount of the Purchased Loan to be disbursed is equal to or in excess of the remaining
budget to complete the project). If at any time the Construction Loan is not “in balance” the Mortgagor is required to deposit additional funds with Buyer in an amount necessary to cause the Construction Loan to be “in balance”.

 57. Each disbursement for hard costs of the construction work whether or not designated in the project budget as a hard cost of the
construction work (but excluding the general contractor’s “general conditions,” insurance and bonding costs and other expenses approved in writing by Buyer) shall be subject to a holdback (the “Retainage”) of at least five
percent (5%) of the amounts due to the general contractor, construction manager, contractor or any subcontractor (on a line item basis) until such time as the applicable portion of the project (i.e. - the particular trade line item or an individual
trade subcontractor’s work on the project) reaches substantial completion, subject to customary disbursement and release provisions. 

58. Mortgagor must obtain Buyer’s prior written approval of (i) any proposed changes to the Plans and Specifications, (ii) any
proposed changes to any construction contract, architect’s contract or design professional contracts held by Mortgagor, (ii) any new or additional contract held by Mortgagor related to the construction or design of the project (each such
instance in (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Project Change”), which Project Change would have the effect of (a) increasing project budget line items (including line items set forth in the general construction contract) in the aggregate
by more than five percent (5%) thereof, or (b) decreasing project budget line items (including line items set forth in the general construction contract) in the aggregate by more than five percent (5%) thereof, (c) changing in a material
way the overall aesthetic appearance of the project or any significant services or amenities to be provided in connection with the project, or (v) diminishing the overall quality, functionality or marketability of the project in any material
respect or (vi) causing the related Mortgage Loan, Senior Interest or Junior Interest, as applicable, to be not “in balance” after taking into account any reallocations of the project budget which do not require Buyer’s consent.
If as a result of any such Project Change (whether or not Buyer’s approval of such Project Change is required or has been obtained) the Loan will no longer be in balance, then Mortgagor must also comply with paragraph 56 above. 

59. Each Purchased Loan meets the following requirements for exemption from the definition of a high volatility commercial real estate
(“HVCRE”) under the U.S. Basel III-based regulatory capital rules for banking organizations: (a) the amount of the Purchased Loan was no greater than 80% of the appraised value of the
underlying Mortgage Property(ies) at origination; (b) Mortgagor contributed capital to the project in the form of cash or unencumbered readily marketable assets (or paid development costs out of pocket) of at least 15% of the

  
 Exhibit VI-21 

 
project’s “as completed” appraised value and is required to satisfy such requirement at all times during the term of the related Mortgage Loan, Senior Interest or Junior Interest,
as applicable, and (c) Mortgagor made its 15% contribution to the project before Seller advanced any funds under the underlying Mortgage Loan and the Purchased Loan Documents provide that all contributed or internally generated capital must
remain in the project and that Mortgagor has no ability to withdraw either the capital contribution or the capital generated internally by the project until the underlying Mortgage Loan is converted to a permanent loan or paid in full. 

60. At all times during which structural construction, repairs, or alterations are being made with respect to the project, including
demolition, the underlying Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance policies providing the coverage described below and the Purchased Loan Documents permit the mortgagee to require the coverage described below: 

 

	 	a.	 the comprehensive general liability insurance shall include; (i) XCU coverage with regard to the
contemplated demolition; and (ii) include three (3) years extended completed operations coverage, after completion of the contemplated demolition. 

  

	 	b.	 Umbrella and excess liability insurance in Buyer’s customary amounts, including, but not limited to,
supplemental coverage for employer liability and automobile liability. 

  

	 	c.	 Mortgagor’s construction manager or general contractor, and contractors and
sub-contractors are required to maintain similar coverage to that which is required by Mortgagor. 

  

	 	d.	 Builder’s risk “all risk” insurance (i) be written on a completed value form,
(ii) include all the terms required in the required comprehensive general liability insurance; (iii) include foundations, excavations, underground machinery or equipment, retaining walls, and all paved surfaces; (iv) limits equivalent
to 100% of the hard costs and soft costs for all recurring expenses in the event of damage or destruction; (v) maintain customary deductibles; and (vi) allow for permission to occupy. 

 

	 	e.	 Automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles,
including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000. 

  

	 	f.	 Such other insurance and in such amounts as Buyer from time to time may reasonably request against such other
insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the properties located in or around the region in which the Mortgaged Property is located. 

61. A construction consultant report by a reputable construction consultant relating to each underlying Mortgaged Property was obtained and
reviewed by Seller in connection with the origination of such Purchased Loan and a copy is included in the Purchased Loan File, including an equity analysis, sources and uses analysis, and feasibility study. 

  
 Exhibit VI-22 

 62. There are no collective bargaining agreements applicable to the construction of the
project. 
 63. The Purchased Loan Documents for each Purchased Loan provide that at least one creditworthy individual or entity shall be
fully liable for the lien-free completion of the project in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, the related loan documents and all applicable local, state and federal laws, and regulations, including, without limitation, all applicable
zoning laws, by the project deadline and for carrying costs related to the property. 
 64. Construction of the project has commenced and
all construction has proceeded and continues to proceed in accordance with the schedule set forth in the related Purchased Loan Documents and the Business Plan. 

65. Mortgagor is required to cause payment and performance bonds to be issued with respect to the obligations of the general contractor,
construction manager and all material trade contractors or, in the alternative, has obtained subguard insurance.]1 

For purposes of this Exhibit VI, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Anticipated Repayment Date”: With respect to any Purchased Loan that is indicated on the Purchased Loan Schedule as having a
Revised Rate, the date upon which such Purchased Loan commences accruing interest at such Revised Rate. 
 “ARD Loan”: Any
Purchased Loan the terms of which provide that if, after an Anticipated Repayment Date, Mortgagor has not prepaid such Purchased Loan in full, any principal outstanding on that date will accrue interest at the Revised Rate rather than the Initial
Rate. 
 “REMIC Provisions”: Provisions of the federal income tax law relating to real estate mortgage investment conduits,
which appear at Section 860A through 860G of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, and related provisions, and regulations (including any applicable proposed regulations) and rulings promulgated thereunder, as the foregoing may be in effect
from time to time.

Mezzanine Loan Documents were true and correct in all material respects as of the date such representations and warranties were stated to be true therein, and there has been no adverse change with respect to the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine
Borrower, the Mortgaged Property or the Underlying Property Owner that would render any such representation or warranty not true or correct in any material respect as of the related Purchase Date. 

 

	14.	 The Mezzanine Loan Documents provide for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mezzanine Loan if (i) the related borrower voluntarily transfers or encumbers all or any portion of any related Mezzanine Collateral (as defined herein), or (ii) any direct or indirect interest in the related borrower is voluntarily
transferred or assigned, other than, in each case, as permitted under the terms and conditions of the related loan documents. 

  

	15.	 Pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents: (a) no material terms of any related Mortgage may
be waived, canceled, subordinated or modified in any material respect and no material portion of such Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property may be 

  
 Exhibit VI-2 

	 	
released without the consent of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan; (b) no Material Action may be taken by the Underlying Property Owner with respect to the Mortgaged Property without the
consent of the holder of the Mezzanine Loan; (c) the holder of the Mezzanine Loan is entitled to approve the budget of the Underlying Property Owner as it relates to the Mortgaged Property; and (d) the holder of the Mezzanine Loan’s
consent is required prior to the Underlying Property Owner incurring any additional indebtedness. 

  

	16.	 There is no (i) monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Mezzanine Loan, the Mortgage
Loan or any other obligation of the Underlying Property Owner, (ii) material non-monetary default, breach or violation with respect to such Mezzanine Loan, the Mortgage Loan or any other obligation of the
Underlying Property Owner or (iii) event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. 

 

	17.	 No default or event of default has occurred under any agreement pertaining to any lien or other interest that
ranks pari passu with or senior to the interests of the holder of such Mezzanine Loan or with respect to the Mortgage Loan or other indebtedness in respect of the related Mortgaged Property and there is no provision in any agreement related
to any such lien, interest or loan which would provide for any increase in the principal amount of any such lien, other interest or loan. 

  

	18.	 Seller’s security interest in the Mezzanine Loan is covered by a
UCC-9 insurance policy (the “UCC-9 Policy”) in the maximum principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan insuring that the related pledge is a valid first
priority lien on the collateral pledged in respect of such Mezzanine Loan (the “Mezzanine Collateral”), subject only to the exceptions stated therein (or a pro forma title policy or marked up title insurance commitment on which the
required premium has been paid exists which evidences that such UCC-9 Policy will be issued), such UCC-9 Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be
provided thereby) is in full force and effect, no material claims have been made thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder, Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under the UCC-9 Policy and as of the Purchase Date, the UCC-9 Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) will inure to the benefit of Buyer without the
consent of or notice to the insurer. 

  

	19.	 Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee the original promissory note made in respect of such Mezzanine
Loan, together with an original assignment thereof executed by Seller in blank. 

  

	20.	 The assignment of the Purchased Loan constitutes the legal, valid and binding assignment of such Purchased Loan
from Seller to or for the benefit of Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

  
 Exhibit VI-3 

	21.	 Each recordable Purchased Loan Document or related assignment thereof delivered by Seller to Buyer in
connection with such Purchased Loan is in form and substance acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. 

  

	22.	 If the Purchased Loan is a Related Mezzanine Loan, the underlying Mortgage Loan to which the Purchased Loan
relates is also a Purchased Loan. 

  

	23.	 No borrower under the Mezzanine Loan nor any Mortgagor under any Mortgage Loan is a debtor in any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. 

  

	24.	 As of the Purchase Date for the related Purchased Loan, there was no pending action, suit or proceeding, or
governmental investigation of which Seller, the Mezzanine Borrower or the Underlying Property Owner has received notice, against the Mortgagor or the related Mortgaged Property the adverse outcome of which could reasonably be expected to materially
and adversely affect the Mezzanine Loan or the Mortgage Loan. 

 The related Mortgaged Property is not encumbered, and
none of the Mezzanine Loan Documents or any Mortgage Loan documents permits the related Mortgaged Property to be encumbered subsequent to the Purchase Date of the related Purchased Loan without the prior written consent of the holder thereof, by any
lien securing the payment of money junior to or of equal priority with, or superior to, the lien of the related Mortgage (other than Title Exceptions, taxes, assessments and contested mechanics and materialmens liens that become payable after such
Purchase Date). 
 For purposes of these representations and warranties, the phrases “Seller’s knowledge” or
“Seller’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import shall mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth herein, the actual state of knowledge or belief of Seller, its officers and employees directly responsible for the
underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Purchased Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth herein.

FORM OF SERVICER NOTICE AND AGREEMENT 

[            ], 20     

[Servicer] 
  

	 	RE:	 Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2019 (as amended, modified and/or restated, the
“Repurchase Agreement”) between CMTG DB Finance LLC, as Master Seller (“Master Seller”), and Deutsche Bank AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as Buyer (“Buyer”) 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 [SERVICER] (the
“Servicer”) is servicing certain [mortgage loans, participation interests and/or mezzanine loans] for Seller pursuant to that certain [Servicing Agreement], dated as of
[            ], by and between Servicer and [CMTG DB Finance LLC] [                    ]
(the “Original Owner”)] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”). A copy of the Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit A. Pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, Servicer is hereby notified that Seller has sold to Buyer and may in the future continue to sell to Buyer certain [mortgage loans and/or participation interests] (as more
fully defined in the Repurchase Agreement, the “Purchased Loans”), and such Purchased Loans are subject to a security interest in favor of Buyer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned thereto in the Repurchase Agreement. 
 Section 1. Acts as Servicer. 

(a) Servicer is hereby further notified pursuant to this instruction letter that Seller has sold, and expects from time to time to sell
Purchased Loans to Buyer on a “servicing released” basis pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and that the Purchased Loans, together with all Servicing Rights with respect thereto,
are sold, transferred and assigned to Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Rights are also being pledged to Buyer. All of the rights (but none of the obligations, which shall
remain solely with Seller) of Seller and each of its Affiliates under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Loans, including but not limited to the related Servicing Rights, are assigned to Buyer pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement
at the time of sale, and Servicer acknowledges and consents to such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer has agreed to retain Servicer, for a term of 30-days, as may be extended in writing by Buyer
for one or more additional 30-day periods, which extension notice may be included by Buyer in the monthly remittance instructions delivered by Buyer to 

  
 Exhibit IX-1 

 
Servicer under the Repurchase Agreement, to service the Purchased Loans at Seller’s sole cost and expense for the benefit of Buyer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, and subject to the
terms of this instruction letter. Where there is a conflict between the Servicing Agreement and this instruction letter, as with respect to the servicing of, and Servicing Rights in connection with, the Purchased Loans, this instruction letter shall
govern. Each party to the Servicing Agreement agrees that Buyer is and shall be a direct express third-party beneficiary of the Servicing Agreement with all of the rights of Seller with respect to the Purchased Loans, but none of the obligations of
Seller. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have direct recourse against Servicer (i) with respect to the rights of Buyer as specified in this instruction letter in connection with (A) Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement or this instruction letter, (b) a breach of Servicer’s representations and warranties as set forth in the Servicing Agreement, or (c) by reason
of reckless disregard of Servicer’s obligations or duties under the Servicing Agreement or this instruction letter, and (ii) the right, subject to all terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement, to exercise all rights of Seller as an
“Owner” under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Loans. Each party to the Servicing Agreement acknowledges and agrees that (I) it retains no economic rights to the servicing of the Purchased Loans, (II) Buyer
has granted to Seller a revocable license to cause Servicer to service the Purchased Loans pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, as supplemented and modified by this instruction letter, for the benefit of Buyer only, (III) neither Servicer nor
any other Person other than Buyer owns or has any rights with respect to the Servicing Rights of the Purchased Loans, and (IV) in no event shall Servicer or any other Person have any rights to any Income generated by or otherwise received in
connection with any of the Purchased Loans to compensate Servicer for any fees, costs or expenses (however defined), including but not limited to reimbursement of any servicing advances in connection with any of the Purchased Loans or transactions
contemplated by or services otherwise rendered pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Purchased Loans. 
 (b) Servicer
agrees to service the Purchased Loans pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and this instruction letter for the benefit of Buyer, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to the terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement,
Buyer shall have all of the rights, but none of the duties or obligations (including, without limitation, any obligations regarding the payment of any fees, indemnification, costs, reimbursement or expenses) of Seller [or any Original Owner] under
the Servicing Agreement. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that certain terms relating to the servicing of the Purchased Loans and the rights of the Buyer and its affiliates are contained in the Repurchase Agreement, and it is further
acknowledged and agreed that these rights shall be incorporated by reference herein and in the Servicing Agreement, as amended hereby. Servicer has been provided with, and has reviewed a copy of the Repurchase Agreement, in particular,
Sections 7(e), 10(f) and 28 thereof, and agrees to take no action that would violate or be otherwise inconsistent with the requirements set forth in the Repurchase Agreement. Servicer shall not make any
servicing advances with respect to any of the Purchased Loans without Buyer’s prior written consent. 
 (c) Servicer agrees to notify
Buyer and Seller in writing (a) of any default (or any payment default that is reasonably foreseeable in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices 

  
 Exhibit IX-2 

 
(as defined in the Servicing Agreement) with respect to any Purchased Loan [(or any underlying Mortgage Loan)], (b) if Servicer becomes aware that a loan file for any Purchased Loan is
incomplete in any way that could be reasonably likely to adversely affect Servicer’s ability to service the Purchased Loans, (c) if Servicer becomes aware that property insurance is not maintained on any mortgaged property securing a
Purchased Loan [(or any underlying Mortgage Loan)] and/or (d) of any other acts, omissions or events with respect to which notice is required to be given to any party pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 

(d) Servicer further agrees (a) to provide Buyer with copies of any notice, report, advice or summary relating to the Purchased Loans
prepared or provided by Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, or prepared by any other Person as and when received by Servicer, and (b) upon the request of Buyer or its designee, to promptly provide Buyer or its designee a servicing
tape for any month (or any portion thereof) as requested by Buyer or its designee. 
 Section 2.
Assignment. Servicer may, only, to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreement, and with Buyer’s prior written consent, assign any or all of its rights, duties and/or obligations under the Servicing Agreement, or
enter into any subservicing agreements with subservicers for the servicing and administration of all or part of the Purchased Loans; provided, that, Servicer will remain primarily obligated and liable to Buyer for the servicing, subservicing
and administering of the Purchased Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Servicing Agreement and this instruction letter without diminution of any such duties and obligation or liability by virtue of any other servicing or subservicing
agreement. 
 Section 3. Material Actions. Servicer agrees to notify Buyer in writing
whenever a borrower under a Purchased Loan requests any review, approval or action described in Sections 7(e) and 10(f) of the Repurchase Agreement (any such review, approval or action, a “Material
Action”), and Servicer further agrees that Servicer will not take any Material Action or take any action requiring Servicer to take a Material Action, without Buyer’s prior written consent. 

Section 4. Collections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Servicing Agreement,
Servicer hereby agrees that it shall (i) maintain, for the duration of the Repurchase Agreement, a schedule identifying the loan and participation interests that are subject to this notice, maintain a segregated account (the “Collection
Account”), which shall not be commingled with any other moneys other than Income relating to the Purchased Loans, (ii) give Buyer written notice of any change of the location or account number of the Collection Account promptly after
the date of such change, (iii) deposit any and all Income received by Servicer relating to the Purchased Loans[, other than payments received with respect to a Purchased Loan that are designated for payment of escrows pursuant to the express
terms of the Purchased Loan Documents into the Collection Account and (iv) within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Servicer, remit all Income (other than payments received with respect to a Purchased Loan that are designated for
payment of escrows pursuant to the express terms of the Purchased Loan Documents related in any way to any of the Purchased Loans, including all amounts in the Collection Account, and all such other amounts related to the Purchased Loans that are
otherwise required to be remitted to Seller or any other Person pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, in accordance with the wiring instructions provided below (such account information, the “Depository Account”), or in accordance
with any other instructions that may be delivered to Servicer by Buyer or its designee: 
  

	 	Bank:

	 	ABA #:	
[                    ]

	 	Acct #:

	 	Acct Name:

 Exhibit IX-4 

 Under no circumstances shall Servicer remit any such amounts in accordance with any instructions delivered
to Servicer by Seller, or any other Person (other than Buyer or Buyer’s designee), without Buyer’s prior written consent. 

Section 5. Event of Default. Servicer further agrees, upon its receipt of written notification
(a “Default Notice”), from Buyer that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Repurchase Agreement (a “Seller Event of Default”), that, solely with respect to the Purchased Loans (i) Buyer
or its designee shall assume all of the rights (but none of the duties and obligations) of Seller [or any Original Owner] under the Servicing Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, (ii) Servicer shall follow the instructions of Buyer
or its designee with respect to the Purchased Loans and deliver to Buyer or its designee any information with respect to the Purchased Loans reasonably requested by Buyer or its designee and in accordance with the obligations under the Servicing
Agreement, (iii) Servicer shall not follow any instructions received from Seller or any other Person (other than Buyer or Buyer’s designee) with respect to the Purchased Loans, (iv) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, sell its right to
the Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis, and (v) Servicer shall treat this instruction letter as a separate and distinct servicing agreement between Servicer and Buyer (incorporating the terms of the Servicing Agreement by reference),
subject to no setoff or counterclaims arising in Servicer’s favor (or in the favor of any third party claiming through Servicer) under any other agreement or arrangement between Servicer, Seller or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Servicing Agreement, in no event shall Buyer be liable for any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements or expenses incurred by Servicer or Seller, or any of their respective Affiliates, or otherwise owed to Servicer or
Seller, or any of Servicer’s or Seller’s respective Affiliates, at any time. 
 Section 6.
Reliance by Servicer. Servicer may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice, request, each consent, order, certificate, report, opinion or document (including, but not limited to,
electronically confirmed facsimiles thereof) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Servicer shall have no obligation to review or confirm that actions taken pursuant to the foregoing in
accordance with this instruction letter comply with any other agreement or document to which it is not a party. In particular, Servicer need not investigate whether Buyer is entitled under the Repurchase Agreement to give a Default Notice. 

Section 7. Servicing Fees and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in
the Servicing Agreement, all [Servicing Fees and Servicing Expenses]2 (each as 

 

	2 	 Insert applicable terms from Servicing Agreement.

  
 Exhibit IX-4 

 
defined in the Servicing Agreement), together with any other unreimbursed fees (including, without limitation, termination fees), costs, advances and expenses otherwise due and payable thereunder
to Servicer (to the extent related to the Purchased Loans), shall not be withheld from Income prior to the remittance thereof to the Depository Account. Instead, all such amounts shall be deposited by Servicer as Income directly into the Depository
Account. All such amounts which are otherwise due and owing to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement shall be separately and independently paid to Servicer directly by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, all Servicing Rights belong to Buyer, and no
such Servicing Rights are owned by Servicer or Seller in any respect. 
 Buyer, its affiliates, and any director, officer, employee or agent
of any of them, together with their successors and assigns, shall be indemnified and held harmless by Servicer against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel) incurred by reason of
(i) Servicer’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under the Servicing Agreement or this instruction letter, (ii) a breach of Servicer’s representations and warranties as set forth
in the Servicing Agreement or (iii) by reason of reckless disregard of Servicer’s obligations or duties under the Servicing Agreement or this instruction letter. 

Section 8. Servicing Termination.

is extended in writing by Buyer or its designee for the applicable additional thirty (30) day period, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the effective date of such extension (in each case,
a “Servicing Termination”). In no event shall the term of the Servicing Agreement be extended for more than 30 days in any single extension. 

(b) In the event of a Servicing Termination, Servicer hereby agrees to (i) deliver to Buyer or its designee all Income and all other
funds that are related to the Purchased Loans, including all amounts in the Collection Account (and no [Servicing Fees, Servicing Expenses], termination fees or any other unreimbursed costs, fees or expenses otherwise due and payable to Servicer
under the Servicing Agreement shall be withheld by Servicer (all such amounts being payable to Servicer directly by Seller pursuant to this instruction letter)), together with original and electronic copies of all related servicing files, documents
and records, together with all related documents and statements held by Servicer with respect to the applicable Purchased Loan(s) so affected (herein, the “Servicing Files”), and account for all Income and other funds,
(ii) cooperate in all respects with the transfer of servicing to Buyer or its designee and (iii) direct any party liable for any payment under any such Purchased Loans to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to Buyer or as Buyer shall direct including, without limitation, sending “goodbye” letters in form and substance acceptable to Buyer. The
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such transfer shall be paid by Seller. The transfer of servicing and such records by Servicer shall be in accordance with [Accepted
Servicing Practices 

  
 Exhibit IX-5 

 
(as defined in the Servicing Agreement)]3 and the other terms of the Servicing Agreement, and such transfer shall include the transfer of the
net amount of all escrows held for the related mortgagors. 
 Section 9. Due Diligence.
Servicer acknowledges that Buyer or its designee has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans and with respect to Servicer for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations, warranties
and specifications made under the Repurchase Agreement or otherwise. Servicer agrees that, upon reasonable prior notice, Servicer shall provide reasonable access to Buyer or its designee and any of its agents, representatives or permitted assigns to
the offices of Servicer during normal business hours, and permit them to examine, inspect, and, at the expense of Seller, make copies and extracts of the Servicing Files in the possession or under the control of Servicer. 

Section 10. No Modification of the Servicing Agreement. Without the prior written consent of
Buyer, neither Servicer, Seller nor any other party to the Servicing Agreement shall agree to (a) any material modification, amendment or waiver of the Servicing Agreement; or (b) the assignment, transfer, or material delegation of any of
their respective rights or obligations under the Servicing Agreement. Neither Seller, Servicer nor any other party to the Servicing Agreement shall, without the prior written consent of Buyer, agree with respect to any of the Purchased Loans, to
either the addition of any new servicers or subservicers under, or any termination of, the Servicing Agreement (except in connection with a simultaneous termination of the Repurchase Agreement). 

Section 11. No Modification of Servicer Notice. No provision of this letter may be amended,
countermanded or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of Buyer. This instruction letter may not be revoked and/or rescinded and no provision of this instruction letter may be amended, countermanded or otherwise modified without the
prior written consent of Buyer. 
 Section 12. Liability of Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Servicing Agreement, Seller’s liability to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement with respect to any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements and expenses in respect of which it may be liable as “Client”
thereunder shall be limited to the fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements and expenses incurred by Seller with respect to the Purchased Loans (as though Seller and Servicer were the only parties to the Servicing Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement related solely to the Purchased Loans), and in no event shall Seller be liable to Servicer or any of Seller’s Affiliates for any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements or expenses incurred by Seller’s Affiliates under the
Servicing Agreement or in respect of any fees, indemnities, costs, reimbursements or expenses related to any assets other than Purchased Loans, and Seller shall not be subject to any setoff right in favor of Servicer or Seller’s Affiliates in
respect thereof.
